PASADENA, Calf. Sept. 22-CR
The latest marvel OF science
discovery Of q practical use for
c0smic rays-was revealed TO the
Nobel prize winner in physics and
president Of the California institute
Of technology.
They are used In a new kind Of
barometer and promise. he said. &c
extend the science OF weather
fo~recasting.
The discovery was largely due TO
a trip far into Canada toward the
north magnetic pole from which
Dr.. Millikan returned a few days
ago.
When science discovers something
new. he remarked. mar is sure 20
find a use for Id. But finding q
use for eosmic rays aStonished even
members OF the national acamedy,
for this radiation Is still one OF the
mysteries, SO new that scientists
disagree about its origin. The rays
seem to come from outer space,
arst ere so powerful that they
penetrate about 700 feet Of water
and many inches or lead-x-rays
are pigmies by comparison. Yet
cosmic rays pass straight through
man without being noticed. They
are detected with electroscopes.
Source Mystery
Dr.. Millikar. one OF the leaders
in proving their existence equally
upon mountain tops, in balloons
and deep in earth. believes they
come from the tremendous energies
expended in creation OF matter
somewhere IN space.
Some other scientists hold they
can come only trom humiliation
OF matter, probably at millions OF
degrees in the hot centers Of stars
where substance Is packed tightly
a. densities undreamed OF on earth
From the first" Or. Millikar
said, I'VE ourselves have thought
the evidence satisfactory that these
rays are ether waves Of frequencies
a thousand times and more than
those Of the hardest x-rays, but
others have thought that they
might not be ether waves al all but
high speed electrons.
If they we're the latter they
would be or necessity be influenced
BY the earth's magnetic field. and
should be stronger near the mag
netic pole than at low attitudes. !

the settlement which Is must the
nearest TO the north magnetic pole
Of any settlement on earth. namely
Churchill. about TOO miles due
south OF the pole on the west side
Of Hudson's bay. I took observa-
tons continuously day and night
for a week. the aurora played brill
liantly on three nights. SO that II
these phenomena are III any way
connected the opportunity for
bringing to light the connection
could not have been better
The results show that the cos
mic rays have precisely the same
intensity at Churchill III latitude
SO as at Pasadena In latitude "a.
THE indications are. first. that
the cosmic rays enter the earth
uniformly from all portions Of the
sky: second. that they consist as
they enter the earth's atmosphere
o. ether waves. not OF electrons."
Millikan told OF experiments
showing that the air acts as blanke.
to stop some of the rays. Where
the barometer registers pressure by
the weight or air. the electroscope
gives the atmospheric density d.
rectlv by recording the amount OF
rays transmitted. Dr.. Millikan said
his present ~electroscope Is Il times
as sensitive as one used four years
