Giving a truly colossal performance, the sun made its debut as a movie star in a film viewed by the nations most eminent scientists. The premiere, with Old Sol exhibited in spectacular form, was at a session of the National Academy of Sciences at the University of Chicago. The pictures, which show great jets of flame on the sun, shooting to heights of a hundred thousand miles, banded by rainbows more than 150,000 miles in length were made by Dr. Robert R. McMath and Dr. Edison Pettit of the University of Michigan. The Michigan Scientists shot the film from the new solar tower of the McMath - Hulburt observatory, at Lake Angelus near Pontiac. Sixth of its kind in the world, the tower is fifty feet high and rises above a concrete well thirty-fiv- e feet deep. ' Importance of the , suns display to the several hundred men of science lay in its revelation for the first time of the actual motion of the flames which compose the solar kings cloak. Like Roman Candles. As the sun appeared in the film, 0 the flames were from 50,000 to miles in length composed mainly of incadescent calcium and hydrogen. All along the tremendous jets were smaller discharges like Roman candles, which spurted to a length of 1,000 miles. The film also revealed new cloudlike substances descending like cur- tains in the solar atmosphere. The rainbows depicted appeared like huge beaded strings. Dr. McMath said: This cloud development is a new discovery and may render revision, of some theories of the solar prominences necessary. The photographs show the sur- -, face of the sun to be dotted by low, d flames darting up for a thousand miles or so and then subsiding.

Shown in the foreground is the shipping along the Hudson Manhattan with its towers grouped about the Empire State building (center) which houses present headquarters of the Fair and.in the middle distance the 1.216W acre site of the 1939 international exposition. To the right lies three-quarte- rs Brooklyn and, beyond, the hinterland of Long Island. At the extreme left, spanning the East river, is the new Triborough bridge over which many of the 50,000,000 visitors expected at the Fair will motor to the conVenieni parking lots. A photograph of the table model of the Fair has been superimposed on the negative of the air view to show the grid of the centra! exhibit zone, the boat basin being constructed on Flushing Bay and tht lagoons that will feature the expositions amusement zone. , . sharp-pointe- !
