surfaces in the atmosphere comparable
to sea level on the earth's surface.
DR.. Kimball said: I'VE speak Of a
smooth ocean surface as a level sur
face. To be exact, it is a spheroid sur
face, the flattening at the poles hav-
ing been brought about by the def1ec-
tory force of the earth'S rotation. Be-
cause of the earth'S spheroid shape
gravity is most intense at the Poles and
diminishes toward the Equator. The
pull of'gravity down the spheroid shape
is just balanced by the DETECTING force
Of the earth's rotation. Therefore a
body at any point in this surface is
subjected to no horizontal force, and
the surface Is thus level.
THE surface of the water in well
is level surface and so is the surface
OF the water in a CiStern 100 feet above
it. Disregarding friction, while no work
is required to move a body from one
point to another in the same level sur
face, work is required to lift water
from the level Of the we'll to the level
of the cistern. We are accustomed to
express differences in level in linear
units. We can equally well express
them in units of work required to lift
a unit mass from the lower to the
higher. level
ITO lift a unit mass of air from one
level surface to another means the ex-
penditure of energy to overcome the
gravity pull. The force of gravity varies
with altitude as well as latitude.
Eliminate Differences.
Therefore the distance between level
surfaces III the atmosphere will vary
with both latitude and altitude when
expressed in linear units, but a unit
can be selected that will eliminate these
differences The dynamic meter is
such a measure. 1t is related to the
meter of the linear system through the
value of the gravity at different lati-
tudeS and attitudes"
The tables also include data for the
measurement of heights by observation
Of the temperature of boiling water
based on the principle that the greater
the distance from sea level the less the
atmospheric pressure, and the lower the
atmospheric pressure the lower the
boiling point. While this is not an en-
tirely accurate measurement, it is in
cluded for the convenience of explorers
because Of the ease with which a ther-
mometer can be transported. More ac-
curate measurement of heights, it is
explained, can be secured with a stand
ard barometer

Past President of American

Noted Scientist.
By the Associated Press.

ATLANTA, Ga, January 3O.-Dr.
John Brown ,HerreShoff of New York,
past president Of the American Chemi-
cal Society died here today at the home
of a sister. DR.. HerreshoI, 81 years
old, was a scientist of note. He was
given recognition of his scientific work
in many public concentrations, inClud

several years ago.

SUNLIGHT 465,O()O
TIMES LUNAR RAYS
Strength at Noon on Clear
Day Estimated $4,000, 600
Times That of Stars.

The noonday sun on clear day
qiyes 465 900 times as much light as
the full moon at its zenith. 1t provides
the earth with nearly 96,000,000 times
more light than all the stars in the
sky on a clear night.
These are the calculations of rela-
tive illumination presented in the
meteorological tables OF the Smith
sonian Institution. the fifth revision
of which in 80 years has just been
issued. These tables, which are the
accepted values for many physical con-
stants in the United States, were
brought I'D to date by scientists of
the United States Weather Bureau and
Bureau of Standards.
The table for relative illumination
intensities, prepared by DR.. Herbert
H. Kimbau Of the Weather Bureau,
takes for its unit measure the foot
candle-or the amount Of illumination
received from a standard candle a
foot away.
The MONDAY sun. it is calculated, has
an intensity at the surface of the earth
of $500 foot candles For the sky at
sunset this falls to only 33 foot candles.
The illumination from the full moon
at its zenith is only two-hundredthS of
O. foot candle This, in turn, is 10
times as much light as comes from
the quarter moon. Starlight amounts
to only eight hundred d-thousandthS of
a foot candle.
Standard for Twilight.
The present issue Of the meteorologi-
cal tables gives standard for the du-
ration of twilight, both astronomical
and civil. The former, according 10
%ol nEi N 10
and begins in the morning when the
true position of the sun is 18 degrees
below the horizon, when stars Of the
sixth magnitude are visible near the
zenith, and generally there is no trace
of the twilight glow on the horizon.
The latter ends or begins when the
suns center is Just degrees below the
horizon. At this time stars and planets
of the first magnitude are barely visible.
In the evening the first purple light
has just disappeared and darkness COM
pelS the suspension OF outdoor work
In the morning the first purple light is
beginning to be visible.
The period Of twilight has been a
subject of considerable confusion in the
past. it is explained by Dr. Kimball. be-
cause different workers have accepted
different positions Of the sun in re-
Spect to the horizon to indicate its be-
ginning and ending. In these tables
evening twilight is considered to begin
when the upper limb Of the sun coin
cideS with the true horizon. Morning
twilight ends when the sun is in the
same position.
A new way Of expressing height in
the atmosphere, together with a new
unit of measure, the dynamic meter, is
officially introduced to American SCI
entistS. This is because of the need in
meteorological calculations of standard
