(ives History Of Scientific Research
In Field Placing Importance
On Newton's Work
"We are making great prpgress in
the solving of scientific problems that
have confronted us for many years
by the use of light and light measure-
ments," declared Prof. W. Carl Rufus
of the astronomy department in a lec-
ture 'on "What The Spectrum Re-
veals" delivered at Natural Science
auditorium yesterday afternoon. "By
the new principle that has recently
been set down of the equality of mass
and radial energy we have been able
to explore fields previously closed to
scientific investigation."
For example, the speaker showed
how the velocities of stars are meas-
ured by the use of the spectroscope.
"Turn the spectroscope on a nebula
and it is found to be composed of the
same materials as the earth, air, and
water that we know," he said. Turn
it on the atom, and we see a minia-'
ture solar system with all the parts
revolving in definite relation to each
other."
Tells Of Investigation
"The phenomenon of the rainbow
had not previously been satisfactorily
solved by philosophers and scientists.
Newton, who undoubtedly made some
of the most important experiments in
this field, discovered the diversion as,
well as the difraction of light al-
though the former was they most im-
portant. Investigation was carried on {
continually in this field from that time
on. Wollaston in 1802 developed
Newton's discoveries, and a short
time later a telescope was invented
for use in the study of the spectrum.
Recently the spectroscope has been
discovered.
After showing many slides of as-
tronomical phenomena that have
been examined through the spectro-
scope, Professor Rufus said, in speak-
ing of the common theory of the
gaseous nature of spiral nebulae, "We
believe that spiral nebulae are com-
posed of a large number of stars so
far away that they appear as gas.
These nebulae are very similar to our
own Siberian system which is com-
posed of about 10,000,000 stars and
of which our sun is only a very
small yellow star."
Explains Error
"The true spectrum is not, as has
been erroneously stated, merely a
series of bands of reflected light ob-
tained by passing sunlight through a
prism. That is what is known as
the visible spectrum and forms only
a very small part of the whole. There
are certain electric rays that pass be-
yond the infra-red end of the spec-
trum, and there are the x-rays and
certain other even shouter rays that
are found on the short-wave end."
Professor Rufus also spoke at some
length on the orbits of the electrons
within the hydrogen atom.
VOLCANO CAUSiES
BIG DEATH TOLL
(By Associated Press)
BATAVIA, Java, Aug. 9.-According
to reports transmitted by a resident
of Timoin, nearly the entire island of
Paloeweh, in the ,Dutch East Indies,
has been destroyed by eruption of the
Rokatinda volcano on August 4 and
5. Six villages were destroyed by
fire. The death 'toll was believed
to be nearly a thousand.
Six hundred persons were injured
when hit by fragments thrown out of{
the crater. Further casulaties were
caused by the submersion of the
whole seaboard of the island through
an earthquake accompanying the
eruption. The remainder of the is-
landers, numbering 5,000, were said
to be safe and ample provisions avail-
able.
It was feared that nine native
boats en route from Celenes island to
faloeweh foundered with their crews.

"We can have faith in brotherhood

ommonwealths of Great Britain as
n example of the incomplete work-

built is the family," he said. "What.
