CHICAGO, March 16—Dr. Arthur H. Compton. Nobel prize winner and professor of physics at the University of Chicago. is about ready to start on his world tour of mountain peaks to “trap” the cosmic rays and find out where they originate He took his cosmic ray “trap” out yesterday for a final test preparatory ! 1o starting next Friday on the tour. The “trap” has at its center an foni- zation chamber of steel containing gas in which the cosmic rays set up an electrical current, which is registered | by an electrometer. If the professor finds the rays strike the earth with equal force at all the mountain peaks visited he expects to | have fical proof of the theory that they are generated in interstellar space.
