Our measurements at Mount Wil
son have been carried on for several
years The first expedition was in
1003 and we have observed almost
daily for six mouths of each year from
1905 to 1910 excepting in 1907 In
1910 I was fortunate in having two
weeks of good weather on the sum
mit of Mount Whitney which is the
highest mountain in the United States
I carried on there complete measure
ments which were simultaneous with
those carried oft at Mount Wilson Wo
have found that the results obtained
at Mount Whitney check and substan
tiate completely the work we wore
doing at Mount Wilson Therefore
having established a standard scale of
measurement and having shown that
we get the same results at Washing
ton Mount Wilson and Mount Whit
ney we are now able to state the
value of the solar constant of radia
tion This value Is of an importance
2qual to that of the distance of the
sun in astronomical work Our meas
urements show a range of the value
of the solar radiation outside of our
atmosphere of about 8 per cent
The Method of Proof
Now by taking stations so far
apart that no local condition in the
atmosphere can affect them both we
may actually prove whether or not
these variations are in the sun or are
something that we have not elimi
nated in the atmosphere If we find
them in the sun we shall have made
- discovery of the first rank It is
clear that if the sun varies the tem
perature of the earth must vary cor
respondingly perhaps not always the
same at all stations because the earth
is so affected by the presence of water
and mountains and the like that not
all stations would behave exactly
alike but yet we will be able to find
n relation between the radiation of
the sun and the temperature of the
earth that will be so important to the
meteorological service of this country
and abroad that undoubtedly this
work we are doing will be continued
daily at several stations over the
world if we shall prove the variation
in the sun

50000 NEW YORK GIRLS
DOOMED TO BE OLD MAIDS
Scarcity of Men Is Given as the Reason
I Whv Mnnv Cannot Honn to VJcti
In spite of writers who give formu
las to girls how to get husbands as
suring them that every girl can win
one if she makes herself attractive
there are thousands of girls today who
havent a ghost of a show at matri
mony There are not enough men to
go arouud
This is the cold blooded statement of
Dr John Jackola who backs up his
statement with figures
Dr Jackolas mother and sisters are
among the pioneer suffragists of Fin
land where women have full suffrage
and where there are 100000 more
women than men in 3000000 popula
tion
Dr Jackola declared that there are
30000 more women than men in Great-
ir New York alone and that 110 mat
er what interest they had in looking
orward to matrimony for thousands
of them there was absolutely no hope
lie said that farming would solve the
ccrious and the growing problem of
the old maid
Farming can rightfully be called a
womans occupation said Dr Jackola
It is womans nature to mother some-
thine
If she has no babies to moth-
ence it will also be of great benefit in Cr she can mother the chickens

There were just four diners in a lit

Napoli in New Yorks east side one
night recently Two were laborers of
Sicilian birth whose names have no
place in this story Another was An
tonio Lavecchia a grizzled haired
bricklayer out of a job and one was
Vincenzo Nespoli also out of a job
by reason of his habits and his ways
The bricklayer had finished his meal
and lolled in his chair facing the
door He was smoking Two tables
away sat Vincenzo haggard and trem
bly ne fumbled in his pockets drew
out a soiled and crumpled five dollar
bill and smoothed it out on the bare
table His shaking finger idly traced
the figures on it Then suddenly he
jumped up yelling His bloodshot eyes
were staring wildly
They have cheated mo again he
shouted Theres a V on this money
but there should be an N too an N

And with that he pulled out a pis
tol and fired twice point blank into poor
old Lavecchias breast Both the bul

Examine Students For Hookworm
Students at Wofford college at Spar

examinations will get a medical exam
ination by experts on the hookworm
in order that it may be determined

that disease This plan was decided
on by the faculty after a lecture by
Dr J L Ward a member of the Rock
efeller commission for the eradication
of the hookworm Dr Ward declared
that the dullness displayed by many
W Tord students was not necessarily
du to mental inefficiency He said
