Scientists Discuss Venus and Planets ! Washington, June 24. While then may l>c many worlds millions of them populated l>y beings and cultured by civilizations the planet Venus, according to I>t*. (\ (1. \bbot. assistant secretary of the Smithson-j ian Institution, is the only one known to scientists whose conditions most nearly appiwimate t host. under which life thriws. Writing in the annual report of the inst tution, ju-<t made public, l)r. Abbot, wiiilo he does not declare Venus to be nhabited, rejects the possibility of other nearby planets holding intelligent life. ' >r. \ bbot does cite, however, the chance that there may be any num. ii? r of i i lesti il bodies, yet invisible through the most powerful telescope. ii which there may thrive some soil of life. As is will known, tin* scientist states, stars are suns like our own, and just as < Hcl Sol has his retinue of . atellites, of which one, at least, is nhah i! s11 may the distant ones have ma or nioiv populous followers. However most of these are so far t com u<. he says, that it is hardly con. arable telescropes will ever be so perfected as to detect their systems it they have them, or decide whether or r.?>t such bodies do exist. "The probability i> that they do so," Dr. Abbot states, "and in such immense numbers that among them there may well be many suitable for abodes of intelligent life. This subject, of course, opens the door wide for spectil: ' on, but this held lies so far from th? 'calms of certainty that it is not m , p ir] 'S" to enter up m it here." The moon, ho continues, is known to he a waterless, airless, mountaiaoudesert. There is no probability whatever that intelligent life can be there No living things, scarcely evyn I hi hardiest chemical compound, can exist upon the sun because of the intense heat. Water, if it could reach thr <um as steam, would be instantly separated into its component gases, oxygen and hydrogen.. Of the sun's outer planets, Neptuni, Uranus. Saturn and Jupiter arc considt red to be composed of gases ol slight density. Th,. theory of life or these would be refect for that reason alone. Their temperatures, however also would render them unlit for life: that of Neptune being estimated at minus 400 degrees Fahrenheit; Uranus. minus 380 degrees; Saturn, minus 330, and Jupiter, minus 270 Moreover, their density is anothei factor; the density of Jupited, which is the greatest of the four, is only 13 that of water. As shown by its low reflecting power, Mercury, Dr. Abbot declares, like the moon, is an airless, waterless waste, and being besides baked by r torried heat, twelvefold that of out own planet, there can be no thought of life there. The main requisites of life are light, certain inorganic salts, carbon compounds, water and warmth. Plant and life requirements of light arc < cry elastic. Plants grow and animals thrive on earth where light is a ' holisaililfold les* IllJill <Im v-li<rtit -irwl the full sun is far from being too strong for most of them. \- I" Mars, thf scientist declares, thorough researches have shown the atmosphere of that hoily to contain less than one-fifth the water vapor found on tln> summit of Mount Hamilton in the eohlesl, clearest winter i ifhI . Tile solar radiation received on Mars is only six tenths of that on the earth, and, with no moisture lilanet .a the atmosphere to conserve the heat. Mars' temperature is estimated to approximate <*>() degrees helow zero. Fahrenheit. Telescopic studies reveal no clouds on Mars, Dr. Abhot declares, in stating that he cannot ac?opt the views of those who "claim great things for Mars." I' has been shown by other scien*i is he ays, that descriptions of the Martian markings observed by many, niiin.x i i ? .ina< . n ?ui i,> . Wllll'IV it V If I I'fMliradictorily as would bo expected of descriptions of the moon by persons who bad never observed our satellite without a telescope. The Martian polar caps, he believes, may be thin deposits of hoar frost, or frozen carbonic acid gas. The light on Venus is 1.1 that of the earth: spectroscopic observations ot star light, and analysis of star nia' rials fallen upon the earth, sho,v that the stars are composed of exaetlv the same components as the earth Therefore, two conditions are fulfilled on Venus Water vapor and water clouds :,r" sponsible for maintaining < <|iialiie temperatures; the water vapor in earth' ntmosph* re seem to be responsible for maintaining our temperatures; the water vapor In earth's atmosphere seem to he responsible for maintainim* nnr t<>mri?mt.nr? full** degrees F-. above what it would he, if, not wit hstanding the absence of clouds, the sun shone no more intensely on the earth. It remains to be proved by scientists that moisture conditions essential to life prevail on Venus. The only obstacle to deciding forever the habitability of Venus is her ever-surrounding envelope of cloud. There has never been absolute proof that the surface of Venus has ever been seen by an earthly observer, the article states. Many observers have claimed to have penetrated to the! planet's surface but no decisive proofs have been offered. This fact along, says Dr. Abbot, seems sufficient to render dispututivc observations tending to show that the rotation of Venus about its axis is equal to her period of revolution about the sun. Were this a fact, scientists claim 1 cue face c>f the planet would ever be j turned toward the life-giving sun, with the result that th it half would he constantly in blistering heat, while the other would be in extreniest cold. However, Dr. Abbot declares, the high reflecting power of Venus, abouc f?0 per cent, demands apparently the existenee of clouds and these clouds can hurdly be of other substance than water. If it were a fact that the rotation period of Venus were equal to t its period of revolution all the water j would be distilled from the hot side to the cold, and these clouds would 1 disappear. Deciding the period of rotation is at present dependent upon spectroscopic observations and they are not competent to indicate more than that the period of rotation is large as compared to our day. They are not accurate enough to show that the period of rotation is 225 days, equal to the year of Venus, but it may be anything above ten terrestrial days. As l'?- ll.t .........I .. .1 ?ki>n?..nOnn ?f ... -1, IWI UIL I VJMJ ft VCU V l/wvl ? II I \J I 11 IC* I r\' ings upon the planet, which are said to rotate in 225 days, this observation can only he regarded with the greatj est doubtfulness, is Dr. Abbot's conj t lusion. He notes that spectroscopic studies ' by the scientist St John, tend to 1 throw doubt on the existence of water j vapor in the atmosphere of Venus. ' His observations have shown few, if any, water lines in the spectrum of ' the planet. If this were so, and the ! clouds are not water clouds, habitability of Venus would be an improb ; ability, Dr. Abbot says. It Is difficult, | however, ln> states, to understand the high reflecting power if clouds are ab! sent. Dr. Abbot believes, however, that i the absence of water lines in the speej tra of St. John, is the result of the '! light being reflected from the clouds, 1 back to earth, through such a thin j envelope of water vapor as to render invisible the water vapor lines. This j possibility coincides both views, and further experiments are to be con ducted this summer to that end. If the clouds on Venus are water clouds then. Dr. Abbot concludes, con ditions of temperature and minsture on Venus are very similar to those 1 jnrm tliw nnrl nnr nl:mot ' lacks no essential to habitability. i Fossils Added to Collection i Washington, June '24.?Animal fossils throwing a new light on thejittle known animal lift of America in the Pliocene age have been added to the collection of the Smithsonian institution by the Held explorations con ducted in Arizona in the past year and i described in a report by the institu? tion. Among the most Interesting specimens discovered, the report said are a new species of mastodon, a large ' and small species of camel and two 01 i three species of horses. J. W. Gidley. ' member of the Smithsonian staff who ' conducted the explorations, says the collection of fossils "represents prac ; tieally a new fauna of the Pliocene | age, containing about HO vertebrate 11 species." Dealing with the nstrophysical Held ' work of the institution, the report ; sjtid the observations of tlu* sun nov being made at its station on Mount I Montezuma, Chile, are being tele1 graphed daily to Buenos Aires and employed reguiariy oy me Argentine .! weather bureau for weather-forecasting purposes." "While the Smithsonian Institution," the report said. "is not yet in a position to champion the use of statistics of solar variation for weathei forecasts, the great interest which its studies of solar variability have aroused here and abroad seems clearly to warrant the continued main tenance of its two stations until a satisfactory basis for a test of the solar variability as a weather-forccasfny element has been laid."

It saves time, ami makes pos- Ve sible remarkable train and steamship wt connections which were before impos_ 1, sible, in The first plane to tra\el between lin Ixmdon and Paris at ni^'it left the en London air station at 10 o'clock and sti landed at the Paris aerodrome soon Ai after midnight. It contained Briga- he dier-General W. S. Branc! er, director St of civil aviation Colonel L. F. Blandy, T1 controller of air communications, a gr navigator, poliot, two wireless op- \\< erators and a mechanic. * fu The air station at Croydon, out- de side London, was a b'azc of search- in lights, colored electric globes, and M powerful incandesent arc 'amps. The A illuminated cabin of the r.i chine and se the red, white and green navigating th lights made it an object of rare beau- ei ty as it rose in the darkness and to headed for the coast. at On arriving in Palis General ni Brancker said: "I dined cornf >rtably te at a London hotel, motored down to V Croydon, got into the machine, and ci am here at one in the morning after a very leisurely flight. I am ready to fc go to bed in Paris or am prepared to oi go on to Marseilles to make a ship ni connection there. 2. "I expect regular passenger night- el flying soon to start," continued the ai director of civil aviation, ' but certain r: things are needed before it becomes e1 general between Paris and London. r< The first essential is greater perfec- ir tion >f wireless telephony on board p airplanes, so that pilots can learn T what the weather is ahead of them, o Then we need better lighting of inter- v\ mediate aerodromes, in order that pi- n lots may be able to land safely if they h find Paris covered with an unexpect- J ed bank of fog. At present whenever v there is a fog the French intermedi- F ate stations send up rocket flares to F a height of 1,000 feet at ten-second in- s< tervals to mark their position." c The flight of General Brancker was v followed a few nights later by a night tl round trip between Paris a:ul London, t.l This machine left Paris at 10 p. m., li arrived at Croydon at 1 a. m., left for t Paris at 2:50 a. m. and got back to n Paris at 6:05 a. m. n P Great Britain pays her aviation e companies a subsidy of $350 for every t complete flight across the English e channel. This has encouraged most of the companies to put on a daily o ..V. ?.vv, niiivn IS VVCI| prtUUIlized, especially by Americans. Tnie t railroad and steamship fare across . the channel occupying eight hours is n about $25, while the air trip, which t takes little more than two hours, .3 S about $25, while th-j air trip, which ii takes little more than two hours, is y one-third more expensive, plus baggage charges. IV Air-taxicab service is the latest convenience offered the London public. A former officer of the British Flying orces in France has established a ni fleet of small airplanes in the city and K' suburban districts which he calls "air h: taxicabs." Passengers are landed al- tc most, at their doorstep, instead of at tl some distant aerodrome. d< One of the pilots alighted with a P1 woman ware on-the lawn in front of u] her home. Earlier in the day the same in aviator took Jockeky Steve Donoghne, tl the winner of the Derby, from the Ep- st som track to the steps of his home. .iTK: . A~ - 1 " 1 " i ins meets my idea 01 speed," said a; Oonoghue, who has ridden some of the p? fleetest thoroughbreds in the world, nt "Usually in takin an airplane I've di been dropped miles away from my fe destination instead of yards." eh Dicapproves Women Entering ja Business For Spending Money th l.< Chicago, June 2J.?Gntranee into co business by large numbers of women who are not obliged to support them- ** selves but merely desire more spend- l>0 ing money is disapproved by Mrs 'th Kdith Jarvis Alden, the recently ap- an pointed assistant secretary of the P? Chicago, Burlington & Quincy rail- w< road. After only four years of ex- to perience Mrs. Alden was given what is said to be the highest railroad of- c'h fice held by a woman. Pe On the other hand, Mrs. Alden believes some business experience niJ ......?l,i r:i. _ I A _ vvuuiu |ji ui ii/ annual any woman, n ,,u :>nly to make her more' appreciative >f her husband's problems. "A wife an understand better how her hus- oil band feels on coming home after a Sii lard day's work if she has been there kil herself," she said. "Hefore I had ^ business experience, I imagined that w' business demands were sometimes Sc unreasonable. Then, too, it is well for a woman to be equipped to earn tio ler own livelihood if necessary. ' Efficiency and hard wrok seem hit ;o be the keys to success in the rail- ?f "oad business as in every other. It s undeniable that business offffers a more promising field to women than ?ver before.
