...from it Major Albert W. Stevens, stratosphere balloonist, made unusual photographs of the eclipsed sun which he showed last week at Manhattan's Hayden Planetarium, after they had been given a scientific bill of health by a conference of 50 astronomers at Harvard. The pictures showed a vast, globular corona reaching out from the sun to a depth about equal to its diameter (864,100 miles) in which the vivid coronal streamers commonly pictured formed a bright, irregular core. The globular corona had been photographed before but these swiftly-taken candid camera shots made in mid-air were...

...stalwart old man, anthropologically a typical Alpine-globular head; wide-set eyes; square jaw; deep-set dark brown eyes; blobby, short-tipped, turned-down nose; broad shoulders; short, thick-set body; straight hair-boarded a boat at Seattle last week. He was Dr. Ales Hrdlicka, 63, curator of physical anthropology at the U. S. National Museum, bound for Kodiak Island off the coast of Alaska. There he will grub for the ancient debris which indicates that Mongoloid peoples millenia ago crept across Bering Strait,* down the western coast of the Americas and thence across the mountains and the rest...
...telescopes were installed between 1885 and 1890, two in Cambridge and two in Peru. Up to the present time, these four telescopes have taken 142,000 plates. The results of a study of these plates include the discovery of the first spectroscopic binary; of one thousand variable stars in globular clusters and elsewhere; of ten novae; a spectral classification of 225,000 stars, and an international system of stellar magnitudes...
