TEMPERATURE MEASURED
BT C.A SLR- -PRKSB ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT (Received Sqnt. 29, 11.10 a.m.) WASHINGTON, Sept. 27. Indications that the temperature of Mars is low and that the atmosphere is rare is announced by the Carnegie Institute as a result of observations at the California Observatory during the recent approach of the planet. The measurements of the temperature and the heat radiation were made with a vacuum thermocouple, attached to a hundred-inch reflecting telescope. The measurements indicate that the tropical region of Mars at noon is ten degrees above freezing point. The mean temperature over-the Polar Cap is ninety-five degrees below zero (Fahrenheit). The average temperature in the tropics between the Martian sunrise and nine o’clock is ten degrees above zero. The maximum heat comes at noon. —Reuter.
