The dream is not to be allowed
to pass as dream only. Comdr.
Francis w. Reichelderfer, who has
just been appointed to succeed DR..
Gregg as chief of the Weather
Bureau, has gone over the compila-
tion and may carry out, as soon as
possible, a good many features of it.
Weakness Pointed Out.
Zone Of the weaknesses in the
present system" Comdr. Reichel-
derfer reported to the society
through DR.. De7ereaux, "is the lack
of suitable network Of ocean re-
ports. This lack is felt especially
by the mariner. Since 1881 I have
believed it perfectly possible to fill
in some of the wide open ocean
spaces by use of daily reports from
a radio robot, anchored, if possible,
otherwise towed back into position
by a tender tug which could locate
the slowly drifting robots by their
own radio reports and relocate them
weekly or monthly, If necessary.
within so years, with a wealth
of upper air data available for study
and research, the basic theories as
to air masses, stratosphere waves,
and other factors which now are
supposed to determine the weather
should have been definitely proven,
or disproven and discarded"
At the same meeting the first
award was made of an annual prize
of 500 set up by the American
Meteorological Society for outstand-
ing work in meteorological research
In honor of Roy Meisirger, Wash
ington meteorologist anc hurricane
riding balloonist, who was lost in q
balloon accident in 1924.
The fund has been eccumulating
ever since Meisingers death to the
point where a worthwhile sum could
be given from it annually.

check the soundness of his own
dream and guide his policies in
carrying 1t into a reality, he asked
30 of Americas foremost experts
on weather to predict, letting their
fancies run free within limits Of
soundenss, the possibilities Of the
future. He found that each of
them, in his own way, was dream
ing various elements OF the same
dream.
And then DR.. Gregg decided that
1t was not a fantasy after all. He
had just started compiling these
reports of his colleagues into a CO.
ordinated whole to present before
the society at its meeting this month
when the work was checked by
his death. The report was presented
today by one Of his closest friends,
DR.. w. c. Devereaux. senior meteor
ologist at the Weather Bureau Of
fee in Cincinnati.
Instruments which will show all
phases of the weather, according to
this compilation, will be exposed
at all points on the earth's surface,
about 100 miles apart, including the
tops of the highest mountains and
the middle of the ocean, all the
time. The atmosphere will be meas
ured to its upper limits and the
records will be flashed not to the
few stations especially equipped to
receive them, but to all the world
at once.
Fifty-Year Prophecy.
One meteorologist proposed that
the uncannily sensitive robots be
attached to rocket ships and sent
out into the airless depths of space
beyond the earth's thinnest atmos-
phere to keep the world informed
on any condition there, as yet un-
known. which might affect the
weather.
Fifty years hence" said the COM
pilation, "the robot reporting in
struments will tell all about, the
weather everywhere. and the fore
caster or other interested person
may actually look at the sky at any
place, far or near, at any time
day or night. The forecasts and
weather reports will be received and
transmitted not only as figures and
words, but as pictures and complete
ideas. The weather map of the
future will be distributed so rapidly
that a farmer in the field or an
engineer in the mountains may have
a vest-pocket edition of it on the
job"
One Of the most important de-
velopments expected is the inven-
ton of instruments which will meas

the grave Of a lost continent-dead

uoorc

the grave of a lost continent-dead
and buried for about 10000 900
years,
Before that it had existed, one of
the prominent landmarks of the
earth's surface, to the ripe old age
Of at least 100000, 900 years, or since
the known beginning of any form of
life on earth. Out of its shallow
grave stick few scattered ribs, the
peaks of the Blue Ridge Mountains
of Virginia and a few other low
mountain ranges.
BY means Of lately developed
methods of seismic surveying" de-
pending on measurements of gravity
and the speed Of sound and electri-
cal impulses through the earth,
geologists are now actually making
map of it and getting a good deal
OF information on its life history.
Reports on the locating and sur
veying of this lost Appalachia were
presented to geologists here by
Maurice H. Ewing of Lehigh Uni
versity and Wilbur A. Fuller of the
University of Virginia. 1t exists to-
day, they reported, as a sort of
basement floor under the present
coastal plain and the bottom of the
Atlantic out to an undetermined
distance. One series of observations
has been taken in Virginia from the
fall line of the Virginia rivers, where
there are outcroppings of the
ancient continent, to the coast
Measurements have been taken S
miles apart to determine the depths
of the basement" and thus deter
mine the locationof its mountains,
plains and valleys. Another series
OF measurements. DR.. Ewing re-
ported, have been made in the
coastal plain of New Jersey and for
some distance under the Atlantic
A Varied Existence.
The observations show that the
old continent had a very diverse
history. At times great volcanoes
flooded large areas of it with lava
Sometimes it was a place of high
mountains. while about 500 OO0, ,00C
years ago. approximately the time
Of the beginning of life, it was q
fiat, low-lying land.
Its decline started during the
Cretaceous period. something more
than 10000, 900 years ago, when the
great dinosaurs were wallowing in
its sWamps. 1t has been going down
ever since, while part of the new
North America has been deposited
on top of it and the shallow sea tc
the westward of the Appalachians
has become dry land.
A strictly mechanistic theory OF
life. such as is held by many biolo-
gists, is logically untenable, DR.
George D. Birkhoff, professor OF
mathematics at Harvard University
declared last night in his presi-
Dental address.
"A genuinely mechanistic uni
verse;" he said. would be free o1
any infinite factors. For example
If one accepts a simple Newtoniar
theory there might be reaching the
earth from infinite space unknown
quantities Of matter and energy, sc
as to change arbitrarily the course
OF events on earth. But in any COM
pletely mechanistic system it is not
difficult to prove that there will
necessarily be a kind of eternal re-
currence. For instance, we are here
together this evening considering
a particular topic. The strict ad.
herence to the deterministic point
of view would entail the consequence
that in the aeons yet to come thi.
same scene will be re-enacted in
finitely often. I submit that this j.

OF Wealth Forecast
By U. 5. Economist
Distribution Of Money Held
In Direct Rutio to
Earning Ability
BY HOWARD W. BLAKEsLEE,

ny nO"hnD W. OAhhESAECS
Associated Press eciencs Editor.
RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 2s.-one
or two fortunes Of two or three
billion dollars. marking the coming
Of the first American triple-billion-
aire, were predicted within 80 years
to the American Association for the
Advancement Of Science here today.
The forecast was made by Carl
Snyder, New York economist. It
was based on the proviso that the
system by which wealth has been
created in historic times will sur
vive that long.
The present system Is likely to
continue, he concluded from a study
of 1t measured by the Pareto curve.
This is a mathematical method in
vented by the Italian Economist
Vilfredo Pareto, to show the dis
tribution Of wealth, talents or other
things in an entire population.
Wealth Spread About Same.
Measured by this curve the poor
have not been getting poorer and
the rich richer. Wealth distribution
has not changed much.
George Washington" said Mr..
Snyder, "or Stephen Girard or even
Thomas Hancock, the rich men of
Colonial days, amassed as great a
fortune, for their generation, as
John D. Rockefeller or Henry Ford
In our own"
The Pareto curve, applied to in
come tax records, shows that al
though prices, production and ma
tional income have been huctuating,
there has been remarkably slight"
variation In the distribution Of
wealth.
Most remarkable, he said, Is the
further fact that the records of Eng
land, Germany and France, as
shown in income taxes, distribute
wealth in about the same proper
tionS as in the United States. All
this. he declared, suggests that there
is "law" at work which regulates
size and distribution of fortunes.
Inheritance Factor Not Basic
The explanation, he went on, is
that these fortunes are distributed
just the same as the money-making
talents. It is not a fact, he de-
clared, that any large proportion of
the wealthy inherit their riches.
Spoilation of the rich, he thought,
would have little effect but would
apparently result in placing untold
millions upon the relief rolls per-
manently."
He said that from the Pareto curve
it follows that the only way the gen.
eral welfare of people can be i'm
proved is by increasing the total
product, that is, the total income.
