'CHOPPED' LIGHT PERMITS STUDY OF SKY HEIGHTS Physicists Hope to Learn Secrets of Region 50 Miles Up. (Copyright, U)3a, by Science Service) WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.—A new method of discovering what cxls' > in the unexplored upper air beyond the reach of balloons, 20 to 50 miles above the earth, has been developed i ree Washington physicists connected with the Carnegie Institution's Department of Terrestrial Magnetism and the United States Department of Agriculture’s Bureau of Chemi try and Soils. Searchlights are to be used t.o shoot light into the night sky, light, that is “fingerprinted'’ by being interrupted at a given frequency using a “light-chopper," so that when it is scattered by the upper air and picked up by large mirrors it can be recognized by tuning the observing instruments. From what happens to light in the upper air's greatest unknown region will come the answer to some questions science is asking. Seek Information How the thinning air’s density varies with height 30 miles abov" the stratosphere, in regions known as the “ozonosphere" and the "altotroposphere,” will become known. This is important basic information now lacking. The research team that has taken the first steps toward conquest of the region between where the stratosphere leaves off and the aurora begins consists of Dr. M. A. Tuve and Dr. E. A. Johnson of the Carnegie Institution of Washington and Dr. Oliver R. Wulf of the United States Department of Agriculture. They gave the first hint of their researches in a short letter published in the current issue of the Physical Review. So far tests have been confined to an artificial light in the laboratory, but field tests are being organized, probably with the aid of Army-type searchlights of great brilliance. Just one large searchlight is expected to provide enough light for the experiment. Have Other Problems Once the delicate instruments arc in use analyzing the scattered “fingerprinted" light gathered by the mirror, the scientists expect to solve olhor problems, connected with water vapor, turbulence, winds and dust, as well as the chemical state of the rarefied atmosphere that allows it to shine with fluorescent light at times. In no other way can science adequately probe the region 20 to 50 miles above the earth. Man-carrying baIP on.s “highest up" is the 14 miles of the recent stratosphere flight. Unmanned balloons can reach only about 20 miles altitude, the top of the stratosphere. At. about GO miles above the earth there is found the base of the auroral displays and *hc first of the ionized and the altostratosphere, which begins at about 60 miles, can be probed with no means so far suggested except the modulated Tuve - Johnson - Wulf light. ICE AGE RELICS TELL STORY OF CAVE LIFE Underground Dwelling Explored by German Curator. i>V/ Science Sen ice BERLIN, Dec. 13. —A cave where Ice Age cave bears lived, where l'cc Age cave men pursued and killed them, and took over the den as their own dwelling while they gnawed their bones, has been discovered and explored in Schleswig by Dr. Lothar P. Zotz, curator of prehistory of Breslau. Many of the bones and teeth of the monstrous bears found in the cave have been worked over into implements and utensils, and there are abundant charcoal remains of old hunters’ fires. This cave, Dr. Zotz says, is the first of its kind found in northeastern Germany. POOR MAN, RICH MAN Canadian “Pauper" Leaves SIOO,OOO to Ked Cross Society. />;/ T'niti'ii Vrt ss ST. THOMAS. Ont., Dec. 13 Believed to have been a poor man. William Richardson, retired miner, left SIOO,OOO to the Red Cross Society, it was discovered when his will was probated. Richardson's estate was made up of huge bank deposits and stock holdings. He left a total of $128,000.
