sk SOLAR RADIATION "0 BE NEASURED Thees Years to Be Spent in Mr.Harlan H. Zodtner, of the Smithsonian Institution, is leaving the United States to spend three years beyond the nitrate deserts near the Chilean Andes measuring the sun’s radiation. He is accompa- nied by his wife. He will relieve the present director of the Smithsonian - observatory at Mt. Montezuma, near Calama,, Chile, Mrs. H. B. Freeman, who has completed three years in the lonely work. Mr. Zodtner's new position means a transfer from the pleasant Cali- fornia mountains to one of the most desolate régions on earth, where not (A i {troops entered it when they become | # |invelved in engagements with the ! | Whether the last of them & migrated to Cuba or united with the | & Seminole s not known, but it is|§ even a blade of grass can be seen. Since August 1926, he has been as- sistant at the Smithsonian observa- tory on Table Mountain in Southern California. From the point of view of living conditions, this is the most agreeable of the three observatories operated by the Smithsonian in widely scparated regions of the world. The third and most recent, which is financed by the National Geographic society, is on Mt. Brul- karos in the Hottentot reservation of southwest Africa. The work of the observatories de- | mands clear skies so that they have to be placed on mountains. They measure the heat radiated by the sun as it strikes the outside edge of -the earth’s atmosphere. The Smithsonian has discovered a vari- atiop in this radiation and there is growing proof of a close relationship between solar variation and the earth’s weather. Hope that further investigations will lead to such posi- tive results as the discovery of this relationship, is one of the main in- centives which lead the Smithsonian astrophysicists to endure the isola- tion of desert mountains for three vears at a stretch. It means a very real sacrifice for the men who do it. Mr. Zodtner, whose home is at Portage;, Wisconsin, graduated from the University of Wisconsin in 1925.

They early acquired a reputation fo their wealth in gold accumulated from the numerous Spanish wrecks cast away on their voyages home from the south. Two centuries later they were atill plundering and killin without mercy the crews of all ves- sels, except Spanish, stranded in their neighborhood. ‘The Calusa were noted as expel fishers, daring seamen, and deter- mined fighters. They kept up their resistance to Spanish arms and mis- sionary advances after all the rest of Florida had submitted.
