THERMOMETER
TELLS HEAT
Of STARS
PyrheIiometer Tells Tempera-
ture Given Off by Lighted
Candle Fifty Miles Away.

Meet the silver disk pyrelio-
meter, the most sensitive Their.
mometer ever made, now being
used daily by the Federal Govern
ment to measure the heat of the
stars and to chart the variation in
the suns heat from day to day as
a basis of long range weather
forecasting. This instrument, in
vented by DR.. C. G. Abbot, assist.
ant secretary Of the Smithsonian
Institution, shown in the photo
graph. can be throttled down to
one-millionth part of a degree of
temperature.
1t is capable, for instance. of
measuring the heat cast off by q
match at a distance of ten miles
or more. A wax candle lighted
fifty miles OFF would register it's
heat on the pyrheliometer, If the
delicate telescope, shown jutting UP
at the end, were to get the candle
within its line Of vision.
Recently DIR. Abbot has been
using the instrument to measure
the heat of the stars at the great
observatory on Mt. Wilson, Cali
fornia. The pyrheliometer worked
satisfactorily on this test and re-
corded the amount Of heat sent
by each Of dozens Of stars to the
earth.
While DR.. Abbot was engaged
in that work other scientists were
similarly engaged elsewhere in the
United States, in South America,
Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia.
They all, however, used the pyr.
heliometer which is the standard
instrument the world over for that
purpose. Forty copies Of the orig
