...upon the electrical conditions of the earth's atmosphere in relation to radio receptivity and weather changes, the Astronomical Laboratory is cooperating with the Naval Observatory, the Mount Wilson Observatory in California, and the Yerkes Observatory of the University of Chicago. The phenomena known as sun-spots, or violent gaseous convulsions on the surface of the sun, have been proved to affect radio transmission, seasonal changes, and to be a direct cause of the Aurora Borealis, or northern lights...

Spiral nebulae and the gaseous composition of a certain sun of the third magnitude have ceased to be news, not only to the general public but to the college which supports one of the finest observatories in the world. Monthly reports on the progress of man's knowledge of the universe promptly arrive on the city editor's desk and as promptly find their way to the waste- basket. The strange, the almost miraculous, certainly...
