before receiving the imprint of the zinc sheet

requiring much hand labor. The new machine
achieves a better effect by heating the paper

the hand labor, incroaees the speed and also

Now We Are Measuring the Heat of Stars

OF the Great Dog Constellation, is almost twice
as hot their temperatures measuring l4,O0O'.
and 11,0O0'. respectively. II Sirius moved down
to take the place in the sky that our sun now
occupies, those Summer temperatures of 100 or.
SO degrees would simply climb through the top
of the thermometer.
Poor old Alpha Herculis. the largest star.

lively cold, it would not freeze us out however.
though it is only a little more than one-t third
as hot as the sun, because it would be like
having half our surroundings of the tempera-
ture of the electric light.
When the new 200-inch telescope has been
completed, undoubtedly there will be found
many more larger and hotter stars which Will
yield up their secrets to astronomers
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-05-26

WORKING in this meticulous fashion, DR..
Abbot has been able to measure the heat
of stars that are far hotter and larger than
our sun. In fact. If they were suddenly swung
down in the universe to take the Ilace the sun
now occupies. direful and terrible things would
take place on the earth. . Every living thing
would simply be turned into cinders in the
winldng of an eye. and even all metals would
melt and finally yaporize in the terrific heat
which would descend upon the earth from these
more gigantic and hotter stars. ~
The star Capella, for instance with a tenn
perature Of about 5000 absolute centigrade. as
compared to the suns 5000, would ON that
account really make little difference in our
present temperature conditions on the earth.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-05-26

But If Capella moved from its remote spot In
the heavens down to take the place Of the sun.
we would see an enormous disk hanging In the
sky, for Capella is 1000 times larger in mass
than our sun.
Capella, however. lies so far out in the uni
verse that it sends US only as much light ovel
two square miles Of area on the earth's surface
as the sun does on one square centmeter (about
the size Of one f1ngernaiD.
But Rigel, which at the present time Is the
hottest of the known stars, has temperature
Of 10000, and therefore Is nearly three times
as hot as the sum- and about IS times its
diameter If Rigel came as the suns substitute
we would get 50,625 times much heat on the
earth. -

w wing, the finest thing of the kind which
has ever been made. he not only measured the
heat of the stars, but he used the temperature
figures he obtained to determine other facts
about them Astronomers have already calcu-
lated the distance of these stars from the earth,
and with those two known factors-their dis
lance and their temperature-Dr. Abbot easily
estimated their size.
In this fashion, he and other astronomers.
are gradually finding out the hottest and the
largest stars in the known universe. With the
most powerful telescope in existence today, the
great 100-inch reflector at Mount Wilson, they
are able to make such tests on the stars up to
the third magnitude. When the new 200-inch
reflector is finished they will be able to measure
the size and heat of stars up to the sixth mag
nitude, the smallest which can be seen with the
naked eye.
The little instrument which tells the secret
of the stars size and temperature can be slipped
with ease in a mans vest pocket 1t Is known
as radiometer. It is composed Of tiny
quartz tube in which is suspended by a quartz
thread so fine that the eye cannot see it vane
somewhat like q weather vane made Of the
sixth part Of fiys wings. The air is pumped
out of the tube and hydrogen pumped in, so as
to offer the least resistance possible to the
movement of the vane. The vane which Is
suspended in the tube Is blackened in order to
make 1t absorb rays as readily as possible.
The great eye Of the telescope is then turned
upon a distant star which the astronomer wants
to measure. The light is thrown into the spec
troscope and sifted down to a single beam If
possible, which In turn falls upon the delicate
radiometer. The warmth from the beam Of
light Is absorbed by the blackened fy-vane. II
the heat from the spectrum is SUFFICIENT to turn
the end Of q pointer Of light 20 feet long at
tached to the vane through the distance Of the
width Of the stroke Of the letter a." that rota-
ton is measurable.
That tiny movement of the pointer Of light
a he ba for
ments not only OF the heat of the star, but OF
its actual size.
The amount of light star sends down to the
earth depends. first, on its temperature; second,
on its size and third, on its distance out in the
universe. Thus the work is valuable because 1t
gives accurate estimates of star diameters which
could be made by no other means. Besides this,
1t helps to understand how the interior Of stars
is composed because such things impress their
mark on the spectrum.

"A single pair Of ny wings will supply six
delicate instruments with tiny vane which
q beam of light from one of the hot stars will
cause to swing to and fro.

Institution and perhaps the worlds greatest
authority on solar radiation, told the writer.

NO 92,OOO,OOO JAIL

Prices are still higher than they
were in 1913, but it requires some
thing of an imagination to concede
that Hartford county needs a new
Jail to cost 100000. That is the
4stimated cost of the project being
preached.
The present Jail has been old.
decrepit and out-of-date for a long
time, and the construction Of a new
Jail may be imperative within the
next few years. But not at a cost of
100000
A plan to provide a new jail for
the county was before the general
assembly IL years ago. The plan got
as far as the purchase of farm in
Newington for the site. Later the
County Commissioners decided the
site was all wrong and all but a small
part Of the land was sold.
Whatever is done now a palatial
Jail costing 100000 Is out of the
question. 1t would be throwing away
the taxpayers money. Nobody Re
