...point nearest the Sun in the rocky Sinai Peninsula. For that reason-and because the atmosphere thereabouts is almost dustless, almost hazeless-rather than for holy associations, the Smithsonian Institution decided that the top of St. Catherine was the best accessible place in the entire Eastern Hemisphere for a solar observatory. Secretary Charles Greeley Abbot last week announced that building will start at once...
...Kimball, considered America's leading radiation meteorologist, will study the effect of changes in the sun on weather and climate. The recent eclipse provided much data for special studies of solar and sky radiation, which he will complete this year at Harvard. Dr. Kimball is president of the American Meteorological Society, and has received international recognition for his contributions to the science of solar radiation...
...Arthur Holly Compton, the University of Chicago's Nobel Laureate, speeding into the far north after a summer of climbing mountains ibex-wise, reached a point on Hudson Bay only 350 mi. from the North Magnetic Pole in time to take cosmic ray readings during the solar eclipse. His mountain-top observations in many latitudes had led him to suspect that cosmic rays are not pulsations from outer space, as Dr. Robert Andrews Millikan thinks, but streams of electrons probably originating in Earth's atmosphere. The nearer the Equator, he observed, the less was the rays' intensity...
...readings of cosmic rays above Mexico, he dashed for a north-bound train. At Kansas City he said good-by to Mrs. Compton and Alan. They proceded to Chicago & home, he to Winnipeg. He wants to get to Chesterfield Inlet north of Churchill in time to note what the solar eclipse does to cosmic rays near the North Magnetic Pole. In his dash Professor Compton hastened past the U. S. Aerological Station at Ellendale, N. D. Thereby he just missed conjunction with his fellow Nobel Laureate, Dr. Robert Andrews Millikan of California Institute of Technology. Dr. Millikan was heading...
