METEOR THEORY
IS SECUTED HERE
DR.. Barton, U. Of p. Professor,
Is SkepticaI Of Explanation
of Hot Wave
AGREES ONLY IN PART

The theory of a Western astronomer
that rain Of meteors on the sun u
causing the earth to sweiter In an uh-
usually hot spell is not generally ar'
cepted by Philadelphia scientists.
Prof. r. J. J. See. Government as
tronomer at the Mare Island Navy
Yard. Vallejo. Calf. is quoted ms at
tributing the warm weather to the pelt-
ing Of meteors on the sun, thus increas-
ing it's radiation and effective surface
temperature. lie cites the more or Iess
regular recurrence Of hot summers every
ten or eleven years as an added point
in his theory.
Dr. Samuel G.. Barton, professor Of
astronomy at the University Of Pennsyl-
vania. agrees with n part Of the theory.
There Is no question among scien-
tists.' says DR.. Barton. that the
heat of the sun Is responsible for high
temperatures on the earth. but / doubt
the part of the theory regarding the
meteors as having been responsible.
Such a rain Of meteors would. undoubt
edly, as Prof. See says, increase the
radiation and surface temperature Of
the sun, but we have never had any
dchnitc PROOF that such phenomena Oc-
cur regularly every ten or eleven years.
Prof. Sees theory. therefore, is as good
as any other, but II is by no means
one which we can accept as positive
fact"
DR.. J. l.. Pitman, connected with
the astronomical observatory at Swarth
more College, is even more skeptical
of the theory. He refused to be quoted
at length, but declared that scientists
are acquainted with Prof. Sees theory
and do not put much credence in it
DR.. Ptman cited the wording of the
western astronomer explanation as be
ing too vague and too general to b'
accepted as good scientific reasoning.
Professor Sees statement, in part
follows:
Since mass of meteoric matter
greater than our moon is falling into the
sun every century, it is very improbable

Objectionable Condition at
Green Lane and Godfrey
Ave. to Be Eliminated
FIND oDoRs OFFENSIVE

Steps were taken today by the
health authorities to remedy conditions
on a dump east of Broad street between
Green lane and Godfrey avenue. which
has caused numerous complaints on ac-
count of Its offensive nature.
Through co. operation Of the Depart
ment of Public Works George II. Shaw,
head Of the division Of housing and san
itation, has arranged to send many
wagonloads of ashes to the place. Inc
nshes will be dumped on the refuse
matter on the dump and will 1t Is pe.
lieyed. eliminate offensive odors which
have been arising from the material.
Mr.. Shaw said he made an investi- :
CATION of the dump and learned that
some of the reports concerning Its con
dition were somewhat exaggerated.
"No refuse such, as garbage should
be deposited on dumps" he said. ana
all such waste material should bt
burned. An ordinance Is pending II
Council providing for the appropriation
of destructors to be used in destroying
such refuse. As soon as these have
been constructed we will be able to dis
pose of such refuse quickly.
las the matter needs quick atten
| ton, however, we cannot delay. Ih'
covering of the objectionable materia
with nshes is the only way to eliminate
any offensive odors at present.

was supposed to make il impossible for
all four children in one family to dis
play unusual advancement in learning.

daughters all have graduated from
grammar schools as the highest members
Of their respective classes, and two
have been graduated from high and
