SUN SURROUNDED
BY THICK IRON MIST
Discovery Reported by Direc-
tor of Virginia University
Observatory.

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, April ga thick
moving iron vapor that hangs in the
atmosphere of the sun was among the
scientific discoveries reported to the
American Philosophical Society today.
The swirling of the hot, vaporized
iron, measured only during total
eclipses of the sun, was reported by DR.
Samuel A. Mitchell, director of the
Leander Mccormick Observatory of the
University of Virginia.
There appears to be more of this
iron, he said, than the proportion of
water vapor in earths atmosphere, and
it circulates up and down. But 1t can
form no mists, molten rain or clouds,
because 1t is much too hot to condenSe
somewhere around 10000 degrees
Fahrenheit.
Some Of Other Mixtures.
Some Of the other mixtures compos-
ing the suns "air'' are calcium, rising
to about $500 miles, hydrogen to 1000
and helium to $500. DR.. Mitchell said
iron and hydrogen are fairly abundant.
How much it would cost a man to
keep cool with q refrigerator at the
center Of the sun was told by Prof
John o. Stewart of Princeton, in de-
scribing how stars are made. He said
If power cost one-thousandth of a cent
a kilowatt a century-that is one
billionth its present price, the re-
frigeration bill at the suns center would
be $50 900, 900 minute. The tempera-
ture outside the refrigerator would be
about 100000 degrees Fahrenheit.
DR.. Harlow Shapley, director of Har-
ward Observatory, described the red
shift" of light arriving from vast dis
tances, suggesting that it may possibly
set limit to mans vision.
The red shift" Is seen in spectre
scopes and is apparent lengthening of
the light rays that come from very dis
tant celestial objects. The redneSs Is
due to the greater length of these rays
and that in turn leads to a supposition
that the celestial objects are travelling
away from earth, motion which would
make their light rays longer.
Distant Space Mystery.
A little of the mystery of distant
space was removed by DR.. John S. PlaS-
kett, director of the Dominion Astro-
physical Observatory of Victoria, Brit
ish Columbia. He said the essential
sameness'' of the whole universe Is in
dicated in some recent investigations,
showing that the mysterious spiral
nebulae are only vast star collections
like our own. Our great family of stars
If seen from some far-off nebula prob
ably would appear as another spinning
spiral Proof that our system is re-
volving like the spiral nebulae he Of
fered In his own discoveries from OBJ
serving about 500 stars, indicating q
whirling speed of about 200 miles Sec
ond, enough to cause the entire milky
way to make one revolution in about
300, 000, 900 years.

Dewey Flagship, Olympic,
Suggested for Mall

Admiral Dewey's famous flag
ship, the U. S. S. Olympic, &C.
cording to Col. U. s. Grant, 3rd,
director of Hublic Buildings and
Parks, would form an attractive
addition to the Mall, pointing out
that the ship could be moored in
the Potomac river near Potomac
Park, or might be placed at the
foot of B Street, near the turn
of the Rock Greek and Potomac
Parkway. Colonel Grant also
said that if thought advisable the
ship could be placed on a solid
foundation of masonry work.
A measure by Representative
Cochran of Missouri, providing
for the use of the ship, now out
of commission at the Philadel.
phia navy yard, as a memorial
to Spanish War Veterans, has
been favorably reported by the
House Naval Affairs Committee.
