Show Fare Six Tuesday December 25, 1956 THE DRAGERTON TRIBUNE Meteors . . . . Highly ionized Path ' Meteors streaking through eddies in the lower layer of the upper atmosphere are being used by scientists as a new tool to study the behavior and composition of this highly ionized or electrified layer. Dr. Robert S. Cohen, physicist at the Boulder . Laboratories of the National Bureau of Standards,, told of his thesis research completed recently at Cornell University on meteor echoes. He explained that by beaming two or more simultaneous signals into the ionisphere at a point on the highly ionized pah tleft by a meteor simultaneous meteor echoes weer immediately received. By comparing variation in the meteor-ch- o strengths with the freof transmitted signal the quency he had an effective tool lor probing the mystery of the ionosphere. For some time the Boulder Laboratories has studied the ionosphere by beaming radio pulses in to the eddies themselves. This is a tedious process since the echo is so weak it is difficult to detect; but immediately after a meteor passes through the eddies ionization is increased and the echo is magnified. Dr. Cohen pointed out, however, that the results from the study of meteor echoes very nearly bear , Eggs from native wild spawnat 5:01 p.m., placed many months ahead of deheld December 15, tse Utah Depart- livery dates with both private and ing stocks and from spawners keep-thserve to ment of Fish arid Game reminded public agency supply sources from at these hatcheries of game fish at a production within and outside the state. cies came to a close e today.
