WHEN THE SUN COOLS
FOR many years astronomers have speculated regarding
* the possibility that some day the sun will have ex
hausted its heat and becomes cold.
Dr. E E. Trevine, president of the Mexican Astron
omical Society, is one who holds this view, and points out
that thousands of now extinct suns are known to have ex*
isted in the dim past. In lectures atthe University of Ed
inburgh recently, Prof. A. S. Eddington also expressed
the belief that the universe is slowly running down, al
though he admits the possibility that the heat thrown off
by the sun and other stars may be gathered again in some
manner to form new suns.
In any event Old Sol appears to be good for a billion
or years or more, so his ultimate end has little practical
interest for us. But it is fascinating to contemplate what
may be the final fate of mankind when, if ever, our solar
system begins to undergo a marked change, such as these
astronomers predict.
About all that is left for the future seeker of the spot
light is to discover a scheme to travel through space by
radio. But what if he happened to be booked on a wave
occupied by a fat woman and they met half way ?
We suppose it’s natural that a peeved aviator should
get hopping mad and go up in the air.
Putnara-Baffin Island Expedition Will Mark
:knrect Radio Apa>eac<t to Magnetic Pole
Oil
Edward Manley, radio operator of Putnam-Baffin Island Expedition,
testing out^ his transmitting apparatus.
HEN the schooner “Mor
rissey,” in charge of Cap
tain “Bob” Bartlett, Peary’s
skipper of his North Pole
days, comes abreast of
of West Baffin Island with the
members of the Putnam-Baffin
Island Expedition aboard, it will
mark the nearest that radio has
ever been taken to the Magnetic
Pole.
The Putnam-Baffin Island Expedi
tion, headed by George Palmer Put
nam, left New York on June 11
for West Baffin Island, a region
unvisited by white men since its
discovery by Luke Fox in 1631.
Sponsored by a number of scien
tific societies, the expedition is
equipped for a thorough survey of
the geographical, oceanographic
and anthropological aspects of the
rugged North country. ®
Radio scientists are especially in
terested in the outcome of radio
experiments so near the actual
center ^ of the earth’s magnetic
iforce. ~ Radio operations and ex
perimental work will be in charge
of Edward Manley, of Marietta,
Ohio. The Morrissey’s radio equip
ment, as shown here, includes a
generator - powered transmitter
(shown at extreme leit of picture),
a battery-powered transmitter with
the UX 852 tube (shown at top of
wooden shelf), two specially built
radio receivers, one short wave,
one long wave, and a portable bat
tery transmitter. Equipment in
cludes 37 dry batteries, which ..an
be used for portable purposes.
The battery-powered transmitter
shown above, in addition to the
UX 852 tube, which will be used
for the first time in Northern
waters, has four radio frequency
chokes. The circuit is show as
a tuned plate and tuned grid cir
cuit, for use on 33 and 20 meters.
Twenty “B” batteries supply 900
volts as power.
Through Mr. Manley’s transmit
ters, the Expedition expects to be
in constant touch with civilization
throughout its travels.
