Scientist Uses Yellow,Vio^ let and Red Rays With Strange Results. (Baltimore Dispatch.) Using the 60 inch telescope at Mount Wilson observatory at Pasadena, Cal,' the larpst of its kind in the w’orld. Dr. Robert Wood, professor of physics at Johns Hopkins University has obtained remarkable results in ])hotograping the moou Saturn and Jupiter by yellow light and ultra violet and infra red rays. The planets showed remarkable differences when photographed by the different lights. On Saturn a broad dark belt about the equator was plainly visible on the proofs of the ultra violet photographs but totally lacking on the others. The polar caps and the rings of the planet also showed differences. The change in appearance was caus ed Dr. Wood says by some material in the planet's atmosphere either finely divided dust or some absorbing gas 0})aque to the ultra violet rays but transparent to the ordinary yellow ones. Jupiter shov/ed even more mark ed differences tlian Saturn, the mark ed being very much more complicated and intricate. The shortage of gasoline in this country is due primarily to a failing off in the production of cmde oil, but the increasing use of gasoline caused by the growing use of automobiles, especially the big commercial trucks, is a big factor. In the last fiscal year the United States consumed approximately 13,000 000 barrels of gasoline, as compared with 10,000,000 barrels in 1914. Besides this millions of barrels of gasoline have been exported to Euro pe since the beginning of the w'ar. In creased exportation plavs a big part in the threatened faminine.
