Offer Prize For
Best Sun Thesis

NEW YORK. "a $500 prize for
the best thesis on the source of the
suns energy is offered by A. Cressy
Morrison through the New York
Academy Of Sciences. The compsti.
ton Is open 70 everybody.
The formal subject proposed is
What may be proved from our pre-
sent knowledge as TO the possibility
or impossibility Of released intra-
atomic energy constituting an i'm
rortant source of solar aud stellar
energy" Mr.. Morrison also proposes
this theory as a basis for the dis
cussion; The principal source Of
energy Of the sur is intra-atamic
energy existing within the normal
atom itself which is released from
the atom under the conditions Of
temperature and pressure which ex-
ist in the sun"
Similar effers were made By Mr..
Morrison in iasi and in 1895. The
present contest closes November l.
Ihe council OF the academy will make
