A feature Of the Pan-American scien-

Scientists declare that since the time
Of Gallileo, jesuit fathers have been
among the leaders iE all matters per-
tanning to meteorolosy, astronomy and
seismology. Many theories upon which
scientists base their work in these three
departments were first formulated and
owe their highest development tc tue
researches and investigations carried on
IN connection with the obserNatories
founded i'll different parts of the world
by the Jesuits.
In meteoroloGy, especially as it deals
With causes of climatic conditions. cy-
elonic storms and barometric Varia tionG
and in seismology, which has to do with
earthquakes and volcanic disturbances
the Jesuit scientists are leaders in
achievements and research work. Many
instruments in universal use i'm labora-
tories and observatories were invented

observatory where Independent scien-
tiflc investigation and research Is being
continually carried on and much OF the
data on which weather reports of u
world wide character are based are OBJ
