 the Carneqie Observatory On Mt Wilson, Cal.
Copyright, 19r The International Syndicate

Activities of many kinds in building new edifces were stopped when the United States entered the war and many of the scientists were called to Washington to assist in work there and for time the observation of the heavens was abandoned, but now tbat the war Is over and things are getting back to normal conditions great re- search work at this place may be ex- pected-
 Selected Over Other Places
 Mt Wilson was selected after many tests of other elevated points in both the northern and southern hemis- phere. The summit of the Rocky Mountains was found to be unfit for as, Jnomical work because of the un- stable atmospheric conditions and the frequent storms. Long periods of un- broken weather free from rains and with few clouds are associated with that tranquil and steady atmosphere which all astronomers desire. aIt Wilson rises nearly 5000 feet above the San Gabriel Valley and Is about thirty miles from the Pacific Ocean. Another advantage was the fact that an excellent set of shops, laboratories | and offices could be maintained in | Pasadena, Here too large foundries l and an electric power plant have been set up. Throughout the dry season the wind ts at low velocity and there is broad summit protected from the suns rays by spruces and pines. The water supply Is abundant, in fact, is one of the most ideal places in the world for carrying on astronomical observations.
