EARTHSURROUNDED - SCREENS AT PLANT [ED W¥NN HERE To PLAN RADIO [INPREASES HAIE] 50LD CUP REGATTA CHAIN TO ASSIST UNEMPLOYED BY CROWN OF LIGHT Meteorological Association Told of Phenomena Seen During Eclipse. BY THOMAS R. HENRY, Mother Eart» wears a crown of light. ‘This was demonstrated before the American Meteorological _Association, meeting at the Weather Bureau here yesterday, by Prof. Lars Vegard of the University of Oslo. For the past 10 years Dr. Vegard has been studying the enomena of the northern lights in orthern Norway. ‘When the sun’s face is blackened dur- ing a solar eclipse observers in the region of totality see coming suddenly into view a luminous circle surrounding the darkened disk—the so-called solar corona. It is said to be one of the most beautiful objects in nature. Causes Different. ‘The earth’s crown, Prof. Vegard said, is similar in structure to the sun's, but due to a different cause. It would be visible in outer space only at the moment of a total eclipse of the earth, if anything llke that ever happened. To an observer on the sun the solar corona would be at all times invisible. ‘The terrestial corona, however, becomes partly visible in the northern lights and is in part responsible for the so-called sodiacal lights which sometimes ap- pear just after sunset. It is at all times invisible during the day when it 18 most intense. because it is drowned out in the intensity of sunlight. It can be detected, however, by means of the spectroscope turned on the night sky after the effects of moonlight and starlight have been subtracted. ‘These spectroscopic observations show the sky itself is faintly luminous. De- terminations of the spectra have just been reported from the Lowell Observa- tory. It shows lines probably identical with those obtained by Prof. Vegard from the northern lights and presum- ably is associated with the same phe- ‘nomenon. Probably Greenish Color. Mother Earth's crown probably is composed of a misty, greenish light, the spectroscopic observations indicate. It is due to electrically excited nitrogen gas distributed in ‘the earth’s atmos- pheric blanket from 50 to about 600 miles above the surface. It was some- what contradictory to find that the com- paratively heavy nitrogen atoms existed 80 high in the atmosphere while there was little trace of the much lighter hy- drogen and helium which presumably would rise to the top. ‘These nitrogen atoms, the observa- tions indicate, are thrown into elect: cal disequilbrium by the short, invisible rays of the sun which makes ions of them by knocking off some of the outer electrons. This causes the lumines- cence. The earth’s crown differs from the sun’s crown in that the latter is caused by light from the sun itself acting up-n its own outer atmosphere. The corona, Dr. Vegard sald, presum- ably is brightest during the day hut‘ the intensity of the sunlight renders it undetectal The effect can be gotten most strongly, however, just before sun- rise or just after sunset. The auroral light comes from very cold regions of the upper air. Prof. Vegard reached the conclusion that the Hght centers are active at temperatures about 22 degrees Fahrenheit below zero. Disintegration of Atoms. The disintegration of the atoms of lighter elements by bombardment with neutrons—one of the last discovered of the fundamental units of matter— was describod before the American Physical Society vesterday by Prof. William D. Harkins of the Universily of Chicago. The neutron consists of one electrcn, or negatively charged electrical particle, and one proton, or positively charged electrical particle, closely bound to- gether and abcut a ten-trillionth of & centimeter in diameter. It is a literal cannon ball of atomic bombardment, one having been found with a velocity of 33,000 miles a second. The neutron exists, Prof. Harkins told the pRysicists, n the neucleus of the atom of the rare element beryllium. The gasses nitrogen, oxygen and neon have been bombarded with this heavy artillery in his laboratory, Prof. Harkins said, with the result that there nucleii_have hecn disintegrated when | a “hit” was made and measure!bl:‘ energy has becn driven fof The discovery c a fr tron. the so- P n, scribed by Dr arl D, Ande the California Institute of Technolcgy. 1t is a positively charged particle of approximately the mass of the nega- tively charged electron and with only e poitively charged partice. hitherto e tively charge icle lnou?l?to science, which is found in the nucleus of an atom. INDICTMENT UPHELD IN “THE FOX” CASE| D. C. Supreme Court Supports, Rover Contenticn as to $104,000 McLean Theft. ‘The validity of the indictment against Norman T. Whitaker, identified as “The Fox” during the trial of Gaston B. Means on charges of stealing $104,000 from Mrs. Evelyn Walsh McLean in the Lindbergh kidnaping case, was upheld in District Supreme Court yesterday by Justice Daniel W. O'Donoghue. Joseph Turco, counsel for Whitaker, had filed a demurrer to the indictment and also a motion to quash the charge. He contended the indictment did not charge Whitaker with having commit- ted any crime in the District of Co- ! lumbia. The court, howev upported the contention of United S.ates At- torney Leo A. Rover that the indictment charging Whitaker with conspiring with Means to steal an additional $35. 000 from Mrs. McLean did allege that | the crime was committed in the District.

The fish will be transplanted to the Tidal Basin for the enjoyment of the younger genera- tion of anglers of the city. When the capacity of the plant was increased from 10,000 to 15,000 gallons & minute, the suction of the water from the river was so great it drew hundreds fish against the screens and there L. Harrison, chief t, called on Com- eries Frank T. Bell, and Glen C. Leach was instructed to have a tank built to receive the fish as they were taken the screens, and this tank was placed in the power plant this week. The fish are taken off the screens by means of lowering a wire basket into 16 feet of water and drawing it to the surface against the screen. Each time it is drawn up it is filled with fish, the majority of them being sunfish, but there is a mixture of yellow perch and small crapple.

While President Roosevelt, because of the press of his duties, has not yet been asked to sponsor the event, Mr. Remon expressed the belief that the Chief Executive would not only sponsor the event, but would take a decided inter- est in it as well. Mr. Remon outlined plans for raising finances and stated that “we do not intend to raise any more money than will be necessary for 'an outstanding regatta.” Two Races Scheduled. L. Gordon Leech, for the Racing Committee, announced the dates and called attention to the fact that only two races in the Gold Cup class, those of Washington and Detroit, are scheduled for this year, which should insure outstanding entries.
