|HE Smithsonian Institution will
establish e. solar observatory on
the summit of Mount ST. Kath-
ari.,o thu Ciraai DaSorf IL Mas

i arine in the Sinai Desert. it was
announced today by Secretary
Charles c. Abbott.
This is possibly the very mountain top
upon which, according to the revelation
described in Exodus Moses received the
Ten Commandments
The decision to establish the observa-
tory on this deso'ate peak, rising 8,54O
feet above sea level out of the desert,
concludes, temporarily at least, long
search for the highest. dryest accessible
spot in the eastern hemisphere. In this
search Smithsonian explorers have sur
veyed the possibilities of the high noun
tain tops of three continents.
Last year the institution abandoned
its station on Mount Brukkaros in
Southwest Africa after making observa
tions there for the pest five years. At
bet that could be found in a country
with stable political conditions. but it
became steadily apparent that the
errors due to natural conditions-haze
and terrific winGs-were too great for
the observations to be wholly salts
factory.
Alfred F. Moore of the Smithsonian
staff finally turned to the Sinai Desert
when he wes unable to find suitable
station on the African Continent He
climbed Mount St. Katharine and took
observations for more than 100 days
on the summit. These were judged
sufficiently satisfactory to warrant the
setting up of permanent station, for
hich funds have b2en provided.
Mount st. Katharine is about II
miles south of Mount Sinai, Whose
summit tradition accepts as the place
Not tHaI iy. ExynI Ir1c
The biblical account, however, is vague
and there has been considerable dispute
! among scholars. There has been per-
sistent tradition linking the biblical
story with the higher mountain.
Perhaps never before has scientific
station been set up in so colorful a
location. The nearest neighbors of the
Smithsonian astronomers will be the
monks of the great monastery of St
Katharine, 10 miles below on the
mountainside.
