Vo Trace of Crew of
Sunken Polar Land
<<anawl,a Caught Wireless Call
for Help; 4 Hour Search
Proves Futile

Although several steamships had re
ponded to the S O call Of the lost
merican steam ship Polar Land, which
ank seventyfve miles off Cape Breton
Sunday night, no trace has been
ound of the skipper ana his crew Of
orty-nine men. The steamship Kama
ha, which caught the wireless call for
clip shortly before Captain James
,yheeler and his men abandoned their
yessel, went at full speed to the Polar
-and's position, but found nothing.
A wireless message received at Hall
ak yesterday from the Kanawha said
nat she steamed about in the vicinity
f the sinking for four hours and had
esumed her course to England. The
steamship Strathfillen also reported
hat she would make search for the
;hipwrecked crew.
Representatives of the West India
steamship Company, Of this city, who
were operating the Polar Land, wired
heir agents in Halifax yesterday to
spare no expense in sending assistance
o Captain Wheeler and his ship
wrecked crew.

Efforts to See Into Depths
of Heavens Baffied by
Rays Circular Course,
Says Professor Jacoby
Explains New Discovery
Man Looking Into Space
Through Telescope Might
See Back of Own Head

Harold Jacoby, Rutherfurd Professor
of Astronomy at Columbia University
yesterday explained for The Tribune
the startling discovery Of Alfred Elm
stein, Swiss scientist, that light ray
do not travel in straight line from.
the stars to the earth, but are bent
DETECTED by other aerial bodies.
at has always been accepted" sai'
Professor Jacoby, that light travel
in straight line. In addition to tn
detection Of light rays, due to tn,
gravitational attraction OF the sun
there would exist under Einstein's
theory, slight curvature in the or
dinary path of light hitherto supposed
straight. Verihcation of this theory
will rank as one Of the leading scien
tific discoveries of all time.
"Thc methods we possess for esti
mating the distance of the stars from
light travels in perfectly straight lines.
If there are curves in these lines OF
observations will have to be recalcu-
lated and may show the stars to BE-
further away than we have supposed
This. Of course, is an astounding dis
covery. The scientific Importance of it
is clear. since the few measured stellar
distances that we possess give US our
only knowledge as to the actual size Of
the stellar universe.
Seeing Back of Ones Head
'This might mean that there is a
limit not to space itself but to the
distance our telescopes can penetrate
The telescope is the astronomers eye
If, when he looks into space with that
eye, he is not looking along straight
line. but along Il curve like circle
what would he see? The circle would
be tremendously large. It's curvature
would be like the curvature of a rail
road track which goes around bend
so gently as to seem like q straight
track. But if the telescope could be
made with almost infinite space pcne-
trating power the astronomer might
conceivably look completely around the
circle and see the back Of his own head
as he sits with an eye at the tube
Whereas, if he were looking in a
straight line, he would ook further and
ul tItI lHIO space, as successive gen
erations improve the power of optical
instruments.
"Einstcin's theories were published
about fifteen years ago. There has been
q mystery surrounding gravitation since
Newton. The law of gravitation reached
us II the form that he left it, which was
that every particle Of matter attracts or
pulls every other particle of matter.
No one has ever been able to explain
how one particle can attract another
particle, from which it may be separated
by million miles. How is that pull
transmitted through space? And how
does it happen that it can be trans
mltted simultaneously?
"The law itself has enA Abled us to
explain orbital motions III heavenly
bodies in the solar system, and. what
is Of more practical Importance, to pre-
dict these motions for the future so
that they can be printed in advance

Of navigators and surveyors.

Photographing Stars

"The observations as a result Of
Einstein's astounding predictions were
made on the occasion of total eclipse
OF the sun when the interposed moon
cut off the solar light and left the
sky darkened, even though the eclipse
occurred at midday. The sky is not
made as dark as at midnight, but is
dark enough to photograph the brighter
stars. 1t is because the processes
Of photography have now reached a
high state Of perfection that we have
been able to make necessary photo
graphs which could not be made at
former total eclipses. You must under
stand that these stars are out in space
beyond the ccliDsed sun. Imagine that
there was an exact circle Of stars sur
rounding the sun. OF course, there is
no such thing as circle, but the
stars actually existing can be const-
cred as approximate y such a circ'e
During the short period of the
eclipse a number of photographs of the
star circle was made. Some months latcr,
when the changing seasons brought
these stars above the horizon at night.
instead of in the daytime, the circle was
Photographed again. The night photo
graphs show the circle little smaller
than the day photographs. This is ex-
actly what was predicted by Einstein
The only possible cause that could have
made the circle larger is the follow
ing: The sun must do something to
the rays of light as they pass close to
its surface on their way to the earth.
In other words, the sun must bend the
ia of light. When the night photo
graph was made by the observers the
sun was not there and the rays came
straight through.
$50 it follows that the light. as it
passes close to the sun, is pulled by
the sun just as if the light were a
stream OF particles of matter which
would be affected by the suns ordin-
ary Newtonian gravitation Now. ac-
cording to the theories of light hither-
to maintained. there is no gravitational
pull upon it. 1t has no material quail
tiles which would bring it under New
tons law But as & result OF the re-
cent observations, it is clear that both
the gravitational theory and the light
theory are inter-c Connected The prac-
tlcal Importance of the bending Of the
light rays is small, but it means much
to the scientific world. 1t is something
absolutely new"

YELLOW PERIL PERSPECTIVE.

It sounded very alarming when Senator Phelan, OF
California announced that Onethrd of all the births in
Los Angeles county outside Of the cities and towns were
Japanese and that according to state reports "he Jap
anese births the ten years have increased 5000 per cent
and the white births have decreased per cent" He
gave the impression that Japanese women, coming into
the state as the wives of men already there ppua
ing all rural California with yellow children.
A little calm inquiry tends somewhat to alay the
fears thus inspired
1t is pointed out that the last federal gives
California 600 Japanese and the whole country 720OO
1t is not likely that the number Of Japanese males has
largely increased because they kept out by nterna
tional agreement While recent figures are not given it
seems quite unlikely that many japanese women have
come into California there men already there
the government would hardly admit more than wife
for each male
Suppose, however, that there are as many as 10000
japanese in the state There estimated to be
more than 2750000 people in California altogether Of
whom nearly half are white women. Obviously, the
whites are still holding their own
As for Los Angeles county, it contains altogether no
less than 100000 people. Even though is the strong
hold of the Japanese INVASION it does not to be in
imminent danger Of Japanization.
That 10000 per cent" is alarming enough; but its real
explanation is found not much in the numbers of Jap
babies being born in Los Angeles county in
the fact that until the last few years there were hardly
any being born.

Local People Beat Mazamas
To Top Of Mt. Hood Sunday

Mr.. and Mrs. w. M. Hamilton and
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Zimmerman are now
eligible for membership in the Maza-
mas, as they made the slimb to the
summit Of Mt. Hood Sunday morning.
The party drove Saturday from Sa-
lem TO the government camp and then
four miles beyond to camp out in the
open with a hundred or more Mazamas.
Sunday morning at 1880 clock they
started the climb TO he summit, arriv-
ing there at 3 o'clock about an hour
and a half ahead Of the Mazamas. At
ter two hours on the summit. where
five mountain peaks were visible, the
party started the descent, arriving at
the timber line at o. o'eloek.
On the way up the party passed era
ter Rock, which is still smoldering,
and also a number Of ambitious mixers
who were laid ont on account of the
altitude whiehs sometimes affects the
heart and sometimes the stomach.
II is the 1000 feet of climbing near
est the summit that counts and to aid
travellers. there is a rope, for which
each climber pays 81 for the privilege
Of swinging ON to. At the top the gov
erRment has two forest rangers who oc
sasionally hand out hot soup to the
weary besides attending to their Of
fetal duty Of looking out for forest
fires.
