RADIATION OF
THE SON VARIE
Dr. Abbot, Smithsonian Astrono
mer, Hopes to Prove This.
HE FORESEES BIG DISCOVERY.
Research In Mexico Is Expected to
Render Important Service to Agri
culture and Long Distance Weather
Forecasts How Earth's Temperature
Is Affected Also to be Shown.
As a result of the action of congress
at the last session la making a special
appropriation of ?5,000 for the pur
pose, Dr. C. G. Abbot, director of tbo
astropbysical observatory of tbo
Smithsonian Institution,' will be able
to complete within the next year an
Investigation begun In 1003 which Is
expected to provo that the radiation
of the sun varies and that this varia
tion produces a corresponding varia
tion in the tctnperaturo of the earth.
While this discovery, If made, will
have Us highest value for pure sci
ence, it will also be of great benefit In
Its application to agriculture, to loug
distance weather forecasts and other
practical purposes.
To complete the tests which have
been and still are being made at the
observatory in Washington, sea level;
at Mount Whitney, three miles eleva
tion, and at Mount Wilson, one mile
elevation, Dr. Abbot finds It necessary
to establish a station in tho cloudless
region of southern Mexico. Observa
tions then will bo taken at the now
station and at Mount Wilson simulta
neously, nud If tho two sets of meas
urements should agree the conclusion
will be proved.
Expedition Starts In July.
Congress has provided for this trip
to Mexico by adding ?5,0OO to the ap
propriation regularly made for tho
work of the astropbysical observato
ry. While the expedition will not set
out for Mexico until next July, tho
work of preparation already is under
way. In speaking of the work Dr.
Abbot says:
"When we begun to make these
measurements there was nowhere in
tho world any exact scale of measure
ment of radiation, although physicists
had been working devising instru
ments for that purpose for about sixty
years. Still there remained an uncer
tainty of 5 to 10 per cent in the scale
of pyrhellometry, as It is called. Wo
have devised several Instruments to
be used as standards for that purpose,
and In the last year wo have made a
careful comparison of two of our In
struments of tho most Improved type,
and these agreed perfectly In fixing
tho scale of measurements.
"This apparatus Is used now as a
standard by which to standardize oth
sr apparatus which has been sent
around the world. Wo have sent in
struments to Franco and Italy and
have requests for them from Argon
Una, Peru and other countries.
Abbot Talks of the Vork.
"Our measurements at Mount AV11
jon have been carried on for several
rears. Tho first expedition was in
1005, and wo bavo observed almost
daily for six months of each year from
1003 to 1010, excepting In 1007. In
1010 I was fortunato in having two
weeks of good weather on the sum
mit of Mount Whitney, which is tho
highest mountain in tho United States,
t carried on there complete measure
ments which were simultaneous with
those carried on nt Mount Wilson. Wo
have found that tho results obtained
at Mount Whitney check and substan
tiate completely tbo work wo were
doing at Mount Wilson. Therefore,
having established a standard scale of
measurement and having shown that
we got tho same results at Washing
ton, Mount Wllsou and Mount Whit
ney, we nro now able to state the
value of tho solar constant of radia
tion. This value Is of au importance
squal to that of tho distance of tho
un In astronomical work. Our meas
urements show n range of tho value
of tho solar radiation outsldo of our
atmosphere of about 8 per cent.
The Method of Proof.
"Now, by taking stations so far
apart that no local condition In tho
atmosphere can affect them both, we
may actually prove whether or not
these variations are In tho sun or are
something that wo have not elimi
nated in tho atmosphere. If we find
them in tho sun wo shall have made
a discovery of tho first rank. It Is
clear that If tho sun varies the tem
perature of tho earth must vary cor
respondingly, perhaps not always tho
Bamo at all stations, because tbo earth
Is so affected by tho presence of water
and mountains and tho llko that not
all stations would behavo exactly
nllke, but yet wo will bo able to find
a relation between tho radiation of
the sun nnd tho temperature of tho
earth that will be so Important to tho
meteorological service of this country
and abroad that undoubtedly this
work wo aro doing will bo continued
flatly at several stations over tho
World If wo shall provo tho variation
In tho sun!'
New Interoeeanlo Railroad.
It Is expected that definite announce
ment will soon be inndo of tbo early
construction of a now lnteroceanlc
railroad through Honduras and Salva
dor, to traverse what Is considered to
be tho mining Eldorado of Central
America.
Woman's World
Op'nions on tho Harem Skirts
Are Divided Llko the Garment.
Opinions nro divided, like tho gar
ment itself, concerning tho beauty and
ntillty of the harem skirt. Already the
curious combination of skirt and trou
sers has appeared In tho large cities of
America as well as the old world. In
truth It must be said that the women
who have worn the harem skirt, or the
Joupe culotte, to give It a name that
comes from Paris, were nctresscs who
were eager to hay: their names and
pictures In the papers.
One of tho features of the zoo In
New York's Central park is Untile, an
elephant that plays the harmonica,
nattle does not get much music out of
the Instrument who can? but she
makes a noise, nnd she usually has an
audience when she performs. On a re-

cent Sunday afternoon Keeper Snyder
brought out Ilattie nnd her harmonica
and prepared to entertain tho crowd.
Just thou a woman wearing n harem
skirt appeared, and tho concert was
called off. The crowd cared much
more for tho entertainment offered by
the wearer of the trouserettes than
for an elephant-playing a mouth organ.
Keeper Snyder and Ilattlo returned to
tho elephant house, and the sightseers
followed off after the harem skirt and
its satisfied wearer.
A writer In au English paper consid
ers the case for and against tho harem
skirt and expresses tho opinion that
moro can bp said against tho garment
than for jt.
"Speaking generally of the project
ed mode," says this writer, "It Is not
to be commended, since it continues
tho series of what may bo called the
eccentric fashions which wo have re
ligiously followed for almost the whole
of tho first decade of this century.
Now and then It Is permissible to be
foolish and extreme, since It serves the
better to accentuate the charm of more
becoming or less exaggerated styles
when they aro brought forward, but
wo cannot blind ourselves to tho fact
that for some seasons now we have
IIAJIEM SI! HIT FOIt TnK IJOUBK.
persistently adopted modes which have
been peculiar rather than pretty, and
If tho 'harem Is to follow on tho 'hob
ble' wo shall assuredly have gone a
step further along our apparently de
termined course to iuuko ourselves
conspicuous rather than elegant.
"Tho women of every nation have
their physical as well as mental char
acteristics. Tho harem skirt Is doubt
less beautiful on the Turkish woman,
and what can exceed tho charm of
tho kimono on little Mine. Chrysan
theme? But Nlguar would not bo as
attractive In a tailor built skirt, nor
docs Mimosa San seem quite as dain
ty In tho latest western fashion. Why
then should wo think we should be
able to clothe ourselves with success
according to tho fancy of the fashion
mongers of other countries?"
