DEFENDS ITS PLEA
FOR FERRY LOAN
Chesapeake Beach Railway
Co. Answers Annapolis,
Claiborne Protest.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Chesapeake Beach Railway Co.
today answered the protest of the An
napolis- Claiborne Ferry Co. against a
Reconstruction Finance Corporation
loan to begin a new ferry line across
Chesapeake Bay by asserting the ques-
tion at issue was not cne of starting a
new service but one of when the service
would be started.
In it's reply, filed with the Interstate
Commerce Commission and the Recon-
struction Corporation. the Chesapeake
Beach Co. said the Interstate Commerce
Commission already has authorized the
service.
Seeks 100000 Loan
The only question now. the answer
said is financing the new project. In
the present condition CT the money mar
ket, the Chesapeake Beach Co. said,
bankers had advised that financing of
the new project would have to be de-
ferred to a more prosperous time.
The railway company is asking loan
Of 100000 to build ships for the service.
The real question is not whether the
extension is to be put through" said the
answer, because that is already assured,
but when it Will be constructed.
IF given the aid of the Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corporation at the present
tine. it will furnish Immediately en-
p.oynent to 900 men for varying
periods between now and May !, 1888.
The construction Of the dock, pl2ra
and dredging val furnish emp oymenl
for 100 men working 80 hours week
during the entire Winter at CheSap lake
Beach and Trippe'S Bay.
Defends Financing.
"The ship builders inform us that the
construction of the two ferry boats will
increase employment first by $50 men
and later by $50 men at the peak OF
the work. An additional 13 weeks OF
work for 200 men would be furnished
by the construction and installation OF
propelling machinery and other aux
iliary equipment. Additional men re-
uuired for the manufacture of supplies
which would be purchased by the ship
builders would bring the total up to
900 men during the Winter months.
1T would te difficult to find a pro-
feet whose financing was more in con-
formity with the intention Of Congress
in the creation of the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation fund"

For years the astrophysical observa-
tory of the Smithsonian. under the di-
rection of DR.. Abbot, has been measur-
ing daily the amount of solar radiation
in different parts of the Western Hem
isphere-at Washington, Table Noun
tain in California, and Mount Monte
yuma, Chile. This patient work is be-
ginning to lead to important conclu-
sions regarding variations in the earth S
weather Progress has been especially
rapid during the past year since the in
vention by Dr. Abbot of mathematical
machine for analyZing the results.
But the observations must be made
with the most extreme accuracy under
the most favorable conditions to, have
any value What is measured Is the
amount of heat from the sun that falls
at any given time on a hypothetical
black object with the dimensions of a
cubic centimeter, placed at the edge OF
the earth's atmosphere. Nobody, OF
course. can get to the edge Of the at
mosphere to place and observe such a
cube. It must be an imaginary cube,
with the amount of heat it absorbs
measured somewhere on the earth's sur
face.
The radiation which actually comes
through to the surface is far different IN
amount from that which would be re-
ceived by the hypctheticaly black body,
because of the very great complications
brought about by the content Of the
atmosphere itself First. the air Is full
of water Water abSorbs radiation, espe-
cially at the lower edge of the spectrum,
from the limits of the visible red far
into the invisible infra-red. 1t it essen
tial to find a mountain in desert where
the Watsr yapor will be at minimum.
Secondly the Minute dust particles in
the atmosphere raise havoc with the
radiation, scattering it over the sky. So
it is essential to have the mountain
where there is minimum of dust.
Mount st. Katharine comes close to
satisfying all those conditions. The
monks of the neighborhood are friendly.
There is little moisture in the air. The
winds are light and Mr.. Moore's OBJ
servaticns established that they gen.
orally blow from the Mediterranean Sea
at the north, rather than from the
dusty deserts to the eastward and west

COPY BOY Detective
CAPTURES HIS MAN
Richmond Hill Trails Suspect, Who
Gets As Days on Charge
of Theft.

Some excellent gum shoe and shadow
work on the part OF Richmond Hill, j.,
18. a COPY boy for The Star, brought
about the apprehension Of colored
man who had stolen a hose from his
home, and drew the attention Of Police
Court Judge John P. Mcmahon who
sentenced the man to As days in jail
yesterday.
Hill. returning to his home at 725
Twenty-second street from work late
Saturday night, saw the man strolling
from the back yard with the hose over
his shoulder. Hoping to clear up a
number of other thefts about the place,
Hill followed him.
The youth stayed behind the man for
a half-dozen blocks until he suddenly
disappeared into dark alley. Hill fol-
lowed into a large court where some
scores of colored people were lounging
about. and by mingling with the crowd
the boy found where his man lived.
He went outside and called police.
Officer j. j. Hunter responded, and with
Hills help arrested Charles Robinson
81. and recovered the hose. Hunter re-
ported finding number OF other articles
in the house which he believes Will clear
up other recent thefts.
"It was a very nice bit of detective
work." Judge Mcmahon said after the
trial, "it's dangerous to venture into
those alleys, especially at that hour OF
night"
While in Detroit two years ago Young
Hill assisted in capturing girl banolt
who "shot-up" a drug store where ne
