METERS ARE SET
TO GATHER DATA
ON C01IS RAY
CHICAGO (UP) Dr. Arthur H
Compton, emerge tic University of
Chicago physlclat. awtlta report from
even widely eparnted &ru of the
arth'a surface for proof of at least
two more theories evolved In hta ex
perlmental work with the ooemlc ray,
Meters, heavily sheathed In lead,
were posted In these scattered points
recording the movement of the rays
as they bombard the earth.
One meter Is on board the tea,nv
ship Orangl, operating between Van-
couver and Sidney, Australia. Anoth
er la In Cheltenham, Md.. a third has
been shipped to the Huancayo obser
vatory In Peru.
Another Is on duty In the town of
Christ Church, New Zealand, and
' atlll another has been sent to Prof.
Ralph D. Bennett of the MasMchu
setts Institute of Technology who
will take it to the Rocky Mountains
next summer.
Two others are at the University of
Chlcsgo awaiting shipment to Mexico
City and Greenland.
The objectives. Dr. Compton
plained, are:
First, to explain the dally variation
Jn Intensity In the northern hemls-
aphere than In the southern.
"There appears to be an effect on
eoamlo rays caused by the rotation
of the galaxy in which the milky
way, the earth, and the sun are lo
cated," he said.
"Astronomers estimate that our
galaxy Is moving faster than 300
miles per second approximately north
at 45 degrees In the general direction
of the star. Vega.
"If this la so, there would be an
explanation of the dally variation,
according to sidereal time, in the
Intensity of cosmic rays, though this
variation may be cxplnlned by other
hypotheses.
"But," he said, "If the Instruments
In seven widely scattered regions of
the world show a greater Intensity of
cosmic rays In the northern hemi
sphere than In the southern, I shall
regard the demonstration as positive
evidence that our particular galaxy
Is rotating and that cosmic rays orig
ins te In remote space or remote
galaxies."
Compton, young, powerfully built,
a winner of the Nobel prize In phys
ics, within the next few months will
Inaugurate at least two other Instru
ments In his experimental work.
One of these, a small balloon carry
ing a cosmic ray meter and a radio
attachment Instead of human cargo,
will soar skyward to obtain addition
al data from the atratophere. The
second will be a huge electro magnet
designed to study the disintegration
effects of cosmlo rays within the
magnetic field.
The eight-ton magnet, thousands
of times more powerful than the
earth's magnetic field as measured by
the deflection of a compass on the
University of Chicago campus, will
have a six-Inch space between Its
poles In which Instrument may be
placed to record the magnetic deflec
tion of cosmlo rays and their by
product. Tha balloons are expected to rise at
least 17 miles above the earth's sur
face. QUADRUPLET GIRLS BORN
