Meteorologists Interested in

temperature, pressure, density, and
composition of the upper air at
very high attitudes above the earth

ologlsts. For this reason, and not
because of any fancied POSSIBLE
ity of communicating with the moon,
the weather bureau of the United
States Department Of Agriculture
is interested in the efforts Of Doc
tor Goddard, of Clark university, to
perfect a rocket-like device which will
lead to information on these points.
The type of rocket used in such in
vestigations Is intended to carry equip

all, for bringing them back.

ROCKET-LIKE DEVICE MAY
YIELD DATA OF UPPER AIR

at the present time of the atmospheric
conditions more than twenty miles be
yond the earth's surface. Such facts
as are known about this 2O-mile layer
of atmosphere have been learned by
means of balloons which can be sent
no higher.
Avlators have only penetrated about
seven miles above sea level-not much
more than the height of the highest
mountains. From two frequently OBJ
served upper-air phenomena-shooting
stars and the aurora-entirely contra
dictory deductions have been made by
reliable scientists respecting temper
atures in the upper atmosphere. The
facts in the matter cannot be deter
mined until the very high atmospheric
layers can be explored.
A study of rockets was made at the

which the underlying theory of this
type Of experiments was developed.

west, being about l25 miles away from
his starting point when last sighted.
Sparks is known here as reli-
gious fanatic. He first came into pub
lie notice just a year ago when he
was discovered in packing box on
a trans-Pacific liner, as The vessel was
nearing Honolulu. Sparks had shipped
himself in the box as freight. He was
taken Off the ship here and kept in
Jail few days, but his cheerful and
kind demeanOr won the friendship of
the local authorities and he was per-
mitted 10 go free. He got job as
carpenter at the Pearl Harbor naval
station and began laying his plans for
continuing his journey to the Holy
Land.
With his earnings he bought whale
boat, but, when he tested it, he found
it unseaworthy. He blew it up with
! dynamite and then set about building
his own boat. In this work he was
| assisted by experienced navigators,
who designed the dory for him and
! gave him advice in The matter of out
! lifting the craft for the long cruise.
Finds Himself a Hero.
When the hour approached for cast
ing off Sparks found himself hero,
not only of the hardened habltues OF
! the water front but of hundreds OF
! other people Of Honolulu who were at
the dock to bid him Godspeed. Hoist
ing the sail and hauling in the line,
! Sparks bade adieu 10 Honolulu.

asked.

reply.
Sparks had on board when he left

| hardtack and other food supplies TO
! last him 100 days. His route is via
| the Marshall Islands and New Guinea,
thence TO Aslatic coastal waters. He
carries no clearance papers or pass

| 1t was in Difference to q request of
his parents, who live at Peru, that
! Sparks deferred several weeks start
| ing on his long voyage. They had
pleaded with him not to attempt the
big adventure, but it is said he finally
obtained their consent.
II have faith that l shall succeed"
| Sparks said.
1t Is the expressed opinion of some
experienced navigators here that faith
may carry him through the many dam
gers of the deep. AS to what he plans
to do should he reach the Holy Land,
Sparks seemed to have no very clear
idea. The "call" came to him to go,
and the work will be provided when he
reaches there, he asserted.
Sparks is thirty years old and OF
striking appearance. He is of large
build and wears long hair and a fow-
ing black beard.

but he thinks II will not be surpris-
ing II the first human types are dis
covered in the early Pllocene. In this
case conservative estimate Of mans
beginning would be well over million
years. Anyway, the same good luck
that brought about the discovery or

From Tanana the technical members
of the party will go forth with four
teams, comprising 30 dogs, followed
by slower freight teams. From
