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,

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

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."

Night Flying Between Cc
England and France
London, .June 23.?Night flying be- I
tween England and France, which was hu
inaugurated early this month, is ex- ' vrf
pected to add immensely 10 the com- l.h<
mercial value of aerial communica- Co
tion. 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

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.
