PUEBLA, Mexico, Feb. 20-A
"queer beast" as he called it, namely
a temperature of / 1000 900 degrees in
the pearly-white corona surrounding
the sun hundreds of thousands of
miles out from its surface, was re-
ported today by DR.. Donald Es
Menzel of Harvard Observatory.
The suns surface temperature is
only about 10000 degrees Fahrenheit.
Yet the evidence of the unbelievable
heat outside, he said. is unassailable.
His report was made to the Inter
American AstrophySical Congress
which is dedicating Mexico's new
national observatory at TonaZintla.
The evidence Is in lines of the
spectrum, which shows definite proof
of iron particles in this sun-halo
which have lost just half of their
outer coat of electrons. Only eXtraor-
dinary heat can do that.
Particles Thought Elected.
Such heat exists deep inside the
sun. The explanation for the
corona temperature now is that
these particles, not only iron but
other common chemicals, are elected
from the depths, through the COM
paratively cool surface of the sun,
without themselves cooling.
They are thinly scattered In the
corona, and hence are unable to
scar the faces of humans, as their
rays would do If they were con-
centrated.
Partial confirmation of their
existence is found in temperatures
a few hundred miles above the suns
surface which are twice as hot as
the solar face. DR.. Menzel said the
million-degree heat far out from
the sun was only one of several
"queer beasts astro-
nomers can scarcely believe exist.
New World End Theory.
The end of the world can now be
forecast as burning up from tre-
mendous rise in the suns heat, if a
new analysis of stars like the sun
stands up, as reported today by DR..
Henry Norris Russell, of Princeton
University.
He showed reasons to believe that
star the size and temperature of
the sun is still young and is expected
to grow 27 times brighter as it
ages. That would mean also prob
ably a rise in heat lethal to the
earth. This particular type of ris-
ing heat would not be expected on
the basis of present calculations for
many cons in the future.

recently issued in q National Boord

Coupled with these normal conditions
is the speed-up Of wor work, with many
concerns turning to processes with

OF equipment not originally designed

The bulletin then lists the three
principal causes of large fire losses:
First, failure to discover the fire in its

vote fire fighting equipment which
could be used TO extineuish or at Ieost
control the fire; third, inadequate pub

the fourth factor Of error in human
