NETEDRS WL BE SEEN THIS HONTH They Nay Revel Condition of Upper Atmosphere Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 2 (P—A methed to get information about winds 50 miles above sea level has been used by Dr. Willard J. Fisher of Harvard college observatory. He does it through cooperation of the preas, radio and the public in supplying information about fire- balls. A fireball is a large meteor, the size of the brightest stars. ° There is likely to be an opportu- nity about the middle of November for gathering some of this rare in- formation, as between November 14 and 16 the Andromedes shower of meteors is due for its annual visitation. This shower has not been heavy since 1885, but pro- duces annually a few meteors around scheduled hours. These are from early evening, before sun- set, until about 11 p. m. Some fireballs leave a train of glowing particles which may re- main visible for some time. The drift of these flery trains and their changes in form provide informa- tion about tre winds of the upper atmosphere, as meteors become visible at about 50 miles’ elevation and frequently do not get below 30 milea Another study from the fireball statistics is on temperatures of the upper atmosphere. Some of the meteors produce reports audible on the ground. The elapsed time between the bursts and the sound compared with other observations on position, gives an idea of the apoed at which the sound travels and makes possible the tempera- ture studles. . Still other {information enables Dr. Fisher to compute the speeds of the fireballs. Those which re- volve in orbits controlled by the sun move at about 26 miles a sec- ond, but meteors from interstellar space have known speeds up to 70 miles a second. The meteor sta- tistics may assist in checking the speed at which the entire system of sun, earth and planets are mov- ing through space, which 1s esti- mated at 15 miles a second. Dr. Fisher's fireball reports come from the entire east, and es- pecially from New England. They are made by observers at all points of the compass so0 that their com- pilation results in an astonishingly accurate idea of the course and na- ture of each fireball. Big Returns Reported From Michigan Research Houghton, Mich,, Nov. 2 (P—A single piece of research work at the Michigan Co:lege of Mining and Technology returns an annual amount to the public approximately equal to the entire appropriation for buildings, grounds, and opera- tions at the institution since it was founded Hotchkiss reveals, Copper milling research at | Michigan Tech in cooperation with the United States Bureau of Mines has demonstrated that much of the copper lost 1n amygdaloid tailings in this state can be retained. Waste has been reduced from four and one-half pounds a ton to one and one-half pounds a ton, President Plotchkiss said. Applied to current prices, the information means a savings of millions of dollars yearly. NEWS FROM BERKELEY Berkeley, Calif., Nov. 2.
