Radio Signals From

The Milky Way

Pasadena, Cal., July 21.

SCIENTISTS have launched an attempt to decipher weird radio signals coming. to the earth from the milky way.

At a base on the bleak Mojave desert, Cali- fornia Institute of Technology researchers have set up a powerful receiver with a whirl of revolv. ing antennas to pick up the impulses, which hiss in the loud-speaker all night long.

They seem to come from the heart of the great star swarm some 120,000,000,000,000,- 000,000,000, (120 sextillion miles out in space. Decoded, they may tell secrets of the stars that are now hidden from the largest telescopes.

Dr. G. W. Polapenko and a young researcher, Donald N. Folland, 26 year old son of a Ulah Supreme court justice, designed the apparatus. They tried it on the campus but the approach of the latest model of a certain low-priced auto- mobile set out impulses that drowned out the milky way broadcast. They moved to a nearby farm and finally fled to the desert 30 miles from the nearest town.

All night long they train the directional aerials of the radio upon the source of the signals. Dr. Karl-Jansky of the Bell Telephoné labonatories, discoverer of the phenomenon, found that they always come from the spot where the stars are bunched thickest in the milky way.

The use of Eledon precludes the irregularity of composition usually found in ordinary buttermilk.

In Eledon, the degree of acidity is carefully controlled, whilst the standardised fat content is sufficient to fulfil nutritional requirements.

Manufacture is carried out under full scientific control and Eladon may be used in all cases where butter-milk is required especially when regularity is essential.

Various deposits have been worked, not only by natives, but by an Italian company which explored some 10,000 square miles between Lake Tana and Ashangi, in the Tigre district, and also worked quartz veins south-west of Adowa, as well as by a French syndicate in Wallega and by an Eng fish concern at Mount Senaar, to the north-west of the valley of the Blue Nile.

Platinum was discovered last con- tury on a tributary of the White Nile near Yabdo, but the amount present was not enough to justify working the primary rock.

A Prench concern, it is stated, was formed in 1926 to work these deposita, Since then, however, English capital had entered the company, which was said to have been building a 120-miles road from Gambella and with much difflenlty brought a small dredge from that town ter The Birbir river.
