NEWLY DISCOVERED PLANET LOCATED : NORTMH NEWFOUND PLANET Transneptunian Body Is Be- lieved 45 Times as Far Away as Sun. By the Associated Press. PLAGSTAFF, Ariz, March 15.— ‘While astronomers scanned the heavens | for a glimpse of the transneptunian planet, newly discovered member of the solar system, Dr. V. M. Slipher, director of Lowell Observatory here, announced today that the “ninth world” had been observed as usual last night with deli- cate photographic lenses developed at the gbserva tory. ®8e planet, first observed by Clyde ‘Tombaugh, Lowell Observatory pho- wgwm-. appeared as a “blotch of light” on a pho phic plate. It later was seen by Dr. Slipher and Dr. C. O. Lampland, assistant director, who iden- tifled it as the long-sought transneptu- nian body. Dr. Slipher said that while the planet had been photographed scores of times since its discovery, “it will need to be observed regularly for months, perhaps years, in order to secure definite astro- nomical information concerning it.” At present the sclentists principally are; concerned with plans for computing the distance from the earth to the new planet and calculating its orbit. Preliminary calculations have led Dr. Slipher and his associates to believe that the transneptunian body is approxi- mately 45 times farther from the earth than the sun, and that it is the most distant member of the planet family. Dr. Slipher said the body would need to be 4,000 times as bright as it is to be visible to the naked eye. SCIENTISTS SPECULATE ON LIFE. Earth Forms Believed Impossible Be- cause of Extreme Cold.

Determined to learn all about the beer shop trade, Queen Mary addressed the bartender, a young man, who con- quered his bashfulness and replied to her query as to what his job was with the words, “To draw beer.” Queen Mary was not just sure how beer was drawn, so the bartender pulled & lever and drew a glassful for her,ex- how the beverage was pumped a cellar. She then gquestioned other workers, who detailed their vari- ous employments, and visited the cel- lars, where she saw how beer is stored. Rev.

But it will be the job of the Almanac Office to determine its orbit around the sun and the effect of its gravitational pull on the rest of the solar, eystem. ot At present, Prof. James rtson, di- rector of the Almanac Office explained, it is_only an almost invisible spot in the heavens. not can be known about it, he said, until three tions have been taken, giving velocity, inclination of its orbit to the plane of the elliptic and its eccentricity. found at any time. Once never again will be lost For years, the director whose orbit presumably ary of the solar system, tirely as was expected, according the law of J‘nflm with the pul upon it of known heavenly objects near enough to exert a measurable gravitational effect taken into consid- eration. Minute differences have been found between its actual and calculated positions, which could be explained only the assumption of an unknown at- tracting mass further out. But the dis- tance was so great and the size of the mass which would cause the irba- the same degree, he said, they could not be considered as observational Slow-Moving Body. Since the new planet probably is a very slow-moving body, compared to the planets nearer the sun, Prof. Rob- ertson said, it probably will be some time before the three ol the observers. ‘The phenomena of bodies within the solar system, the director said, all are calculated upon the gravitational for- mula that every object attracts every other object directly as their masses and indirectly as_the square of their distances apart. Thus the new planet, if its existence is proven, would be held to its path around the sun by the pull of the sun calculated with reference tc its mass and distance. But all other objects in the system also would exert influences on it, which must be taken into eonlld:‘ll':tlnnulfld which greatly complicate problem. The practical importance of such a problem, said Prof. Robertson, is partly due to the spur which it applies to the ingenuity of astronomers to solve it. “Astronomy,” he said, “is the funda- mental science. Practically all of our higher mathematics has come originally from the solution of just such problems as this. The more difficult the prob- lems the greater the ingenuity required. We can see the importance of this when we realize that mathematics is the foundation of the other sciences, which apply to practical problems the tools which it gives them.” Confirmation Unefficial, The planet, he said, will be recog- nized in the naval ephemeris only when there has been some determina- tion of its orbit, so that observers will know where to look for it and there no longer is any doubt that it really is a member of the sun’s system. Thus far the Naval Observatory has received only unofficial confirmation of the dis- covery. For the other members of the solar system, he said, there are hundréds of accurate observations upon which their hs around the sun can be calculated from year to year. Thus the whole system works with a clocklike ac- curacy. By describing the new planet as a star of the seventeenth magnitude, it was explained, is meant that it is 17 times fainter than the faintest star to be seen with the naked eye, all brighter stars being of minus magnitudes.

The Colorado River is one of the most difficult streams in the world to navigate, Clyde Eddy told members of the National Geographic Society last night in an address at the Washington Auditorium. Fewer than 50 men have Mr. Eddy and eight companions re- cently joined the 40 other successful voyagers, making the 800-mile trip from Green River, Utah, to Needles, Calif, in frail boats. The start was made with 13 men in three boats, but 4 of the adventurers climbed out of the canyon at the half-way point, Lees Ferry, and farther down the river one of the boats was_demolished on the rocks. There are 300 difficult rapids in the 800-mile stretch, Mr. All but 10 of these boats. Through the 10 it seemed sui- cidal to attempt to navigate the boats, 80 they were let down by ropes along the shore, or acti around.

Motion pictures taken both from the banks and from the tossing boats show- ed the strenuous work of the members of the party in handling the boats, and the majestic scenery and bizarre color- ing of the towering canyon walls.

In all of the churches co-operating in the citywide religious survey, under the plan of the Kernahan directed sur- vey and visitation evangelism cam- paign, “enlistment week” will be ob- served beginning tomorrow. The sur- | vey will be definitely concluded next Friday night with a meeting at Cal- vary Baptist Church, when thousands of reference cards received at the head- quarters during the week as a Tesult of the house-to-house census will be re- ported.

Dr. Harold L. Pellegrine, chairman of the commit- tee on minute men, has arranged that each of the speakers take not more than four minutes in each of the churches during some part of the morn- ing service. In some cases clergymen are arranging to exchange pulpits for this brief ceremony, and in some cases the pastor himself will make the appeal. Rev. Harvey Baker Smith, pastor of the Columbia Heights Christian Church, will deliver his address on the survey and campaign over the radio at the 11 o'clock service. At the Church of the Covenant, Rev. L. E. Ripley, field director of the survey, representing Dr. Kernahan, will speak on the movement and its results here at 11 o'clock. Rev. C. A. Morong, also of Dr. Kernahan's staff, will preach at 11 o'clock at the Brookland Baptist Church. The colored churches will open their survey March 17, with more than 70 congregations entered for active work in their census, which will last only one week throughout the city. A large number of workers attended the two instruction meetings Friday night. A third instruction meeting will be held to"llwrrov afternoon at Lincoln Memo- b and R streets, with Rev. L. E.

Cites Effect of Amendment. ‘The mond amendment provides for the transfer of thé enfuroenpum of the law from the health to the engineer department and the application of the prohibition of dense smoke to movable es. aj. Davison said that $100,000 would be required annually to employ combus- tion experts capable of advising indus- trial concerns whether the heating or power plants they planned to install would or would not smoke. Such an in- spection, he declared, would be impos- sible with the present personnel of the engineering department. Making it plain that he was not speaking offici ,» Maj. Davison said it was his per: opinion that a toler- ance of smoke for one minute in fifteen should be allowed. The exisf provides for no tolerance in the ment of its regulations. He said this was unfair, since to pre- vent the emission of objectionable smoke three factors must be perfectly corelated at all times. The factors, he asserted, are the volatile content of the fuel, the mechanical equipment and the management of the fuel and equipment. Employer Submits Protest. A letter from E. H.
