SOLAR RADIATION
 ID RE MEASURED
Thrs Years to Be Spsat in
 Z, .aChilean Dsert

Mr. Marian H. Zodtner, of the Smithsonian Institution. is leaving the United States to spend three years beyond the nitrate deserts near tho Chilean Andes measuring the suns radiation. He is accompa- nied by his wife. He will relieve the present director of the Smithsonian observatory at Mt. Montezuma, near Calama, ,s Chile. Mrs. H. B. Freeman. who has completed three years in the lonely work.
 Mr. Zodtners new position means a transfer from the pleasant Cali fornia mountains to one of the most desolate regions on earth. where not even . blade of grass can be seen. Since August 1928. he has been as- sistant at the Smithsonian observa- tory on Table Mountain in Southern California. From the point of view of living conditions. this is the most agreeable of the three observatories operated by the Smithsonian in widely separated regions of the world. The third and most recent. which Is financed by the National Geographic society. is on Nit. Bruk- karos in the Hottentot reservation of southwest Africa.
 The work of the observatories de- mands clear skies 50 that they have to b. placed on mountains. They measure the heat radiated by the sun aS 1t strikes the outside edge of the earths atmosphere. The Smithsonian has discovered . vari- atten in this radiation and there Is growing proof of . close relationship between solar variation and the earth's weather. Hope that further investigations will lead to such posi- tive results as the discovery of this relationship. is one of the main in- centtves which lead the Smithsonian astrophysicists to endure the isola- ton of desert mountains for three years At . stretch. It means | very real sacrifice for the men who do 1t.

Though this tribe. the Calusa, played such an important part in Florida hiss tory under the spaniards. we have no records of their language beyond two or three words and some place names. and very little information on other aspects of their culture. They were mound builders, however. and the Smithsonian expedition hopes to increase our knowledge of them by excavation of some of thelf mounds in southwestern Flotida.
 The history of the Calusa begins
New Britain herald., 1928-02-10

iA lEl3 when. with . aeet of 60 canoes they boldly attacked Ponce de Loon, who was about to land on their coast, and after an all-day fight compelled him to withdraw. They early acquired . reputation for their wealth in gold accumulated from tho numerous Spanish wrecks cast away on their voyages home from the south. Two centuries later they were still plundering and killing without mercy tho crews of all ves- sells. except Spanish. stranded in their neighborhood.
 Tho Calusa were noted n expert fishers. daring seamsn. and deter mined fighters. They kept up their resistance to Spanish arms and mis- sionary advances after all the rest of Florida had submitted. They prac- ticed human sacrifice of captives, scalped and dismembered their slain enemies. and have repeatedly been accused of cannibalism. The evidence of the mounds indicates that this was true in tho earlier
 
 periods.
 Some Of them remained in their old country until the Seminole push cd southward by the American troops entered 1t when they become involved in engagements with the latter. Whether tho last of them migrated to Cuba or united with the Seminole Is not known, but 1t is suspected that they were represent ed by a band of so-called "Choctaw Indians" noted among the Florida Indians aS late as 1S47.
 Science does not know what the racial affinity of the Calusa was. One theory Is that they were . very distant off-shoot of the Muskhogean stock. The main hope that some fragments of this tribes language will yet como to light lies in the Jesuit libraries of Europe. Calusa boys were pupils It the Mission school in Havana in the 18th cen- tury. and the Jesuit Rogel. with m assistant, spent . winter in studying the language and recording it in vo- cabulary form. Perhaps these rec ords may yet be unearthed.

ordering a halt. Ampudia was order

was forced to withdraw before the

Referring to the feat of Captain

reported that: General Taylor con

left flank, which was the weakest
part of the line, ordering also by
the right road a charge OF cavalry
upon the batteries there situated.
The action soon became general. The
enemy's artillery decimated our
ranks. Their dragons rode up TO our
pieces, which they captured. The dis
