Book Description
Excerpt from Bulletin of the Southern California Academy of Sciences, 1902 Professor Simon Sarasola, S. J., President of the Colegio De Belen at Havana, Cuba, assisted by Professor Laurent Gangoiti, S. J., Director of the Belen Astronomical Observatory, has made a life study of the atmospheric phenomena of the Gulf of Mexico, and his reputation as a weather prophet is world-wide. It is a matter of history that he sent to the Weather Bureau at Washington a communication announcing that, on or about September 8, 1900, a terrific hurricane would sweep along the Atlantic sea-board from the Gulf of Mexico as far north as Charleston, South Carolina. The authorities at Washington paid no attention to this communication further than announcing that in September, strong winds would prevail throughout the eastern portion of the Southern States. The prophecy of Professor Sarasola, which, in the consideration of the cataclysm which succeeded, and which prophecy approached the domain of the super-natural, was fulfilled by the tornado which swept from the face of the earth, the beautiful City of Galveston.

Book Description
Excerpt from Bulletin of the Southern California Academy of Sciences, Vol. 19 On the summit of Mount Wilson, 6, 000 feet above sea-level, and two-thirds of that altitude above the dust and fogs of the populous valleys below, in the clear skies and balmy atmosphere of Southern California, are planted five unique and powerful instruments. The first instrument installed was the horizontal Snow telescope which reflects the image of the sun on every clear day, through a focal distance of 60 feet, producing an object full of surprising detail, seven inches in diameter. The next instrument projected was a tower telescope 65 feet in height, from the stationary top of which the light of the sun was reflected downward, forming a solar image in the observers station at the surface of the ground. So successful was this experiment in solar study that another tower telescope was erected in its vicinity 180 feet in height, so constructed as to give a solar image 16 inches in diameter in a laboratory which with its adjuncts, extends to a depth of 75 feet below the surface of the ground, where the temperature is uniform. The wonderful image thus produced shows with marvelous detail, the seething, swirling motions of the various chemical elements in the suns atmosphere. The rushing maelstrom of downward currents, and the upward thrust of red prominences seen projecting far beyond the shadow of the moon in total solar eclipses, are vividly shown in full sunlight by the spectroheliograph. But all of these instruments were invented, designed and constructed for the purpose of studying the constitution of the sun, the nearest star in the sidereal universe. A great reflecting telescope 60 inches in diameter was also deemed essential for supplementing the original investigations being carried on by the solar telescopes. Its purpose was to make a systematic study of the myriads of other suns in the universe, to ascertain in what respects they resembled or differed from the mighty luminary at the center of our own solar system. The work accomplished with this large telescope fully met expectations. It has thrown much light on the nature of spiral nebulae, it has demonstrated the great size and enormous distance of the globular star clusters, and contributed in scores of other ways to our knowledge of the stars. We eagerly await what is yet to be disclosed among the deep mysteries of the universe by this telescope. Finally we come to that Brobdingnagian instrument, the great Hooker 100-inch reflector, but recently installed in the 100-foot observatory, provided with every possible facility for accurate adjustment, for delicate handling, and for convenient observing. Touch an electric button and the massive dome, whose top is 100 feet above the ground, moves at will. Another button opens a shutter 20 feet wide through which you peer at any object in the universe which may become visible in the magic glass.

Book Description
Excerpt from Bulletin of the Southern California Academy of Sciences, Vol. 5: March, 1906 The location of nearly every town of importance in Southern California was originally planned by the old mission fathers in relation to the possibility of its water supply. The most im portant missions were built in those districts where water was found in largest amount. At these old missions one may see, even today, evidences of a high degree of engineering Skill possessed by these people in planning Ithe ditches and reservoirs. A reference to the map Shows that the San Gabriel and Los Angeles rivers carry the water from the mountains toward the sea, and although not rising directly in the high ranges of the Sierra Madre mountains, at least a large part of the rain and snow finds its way into these two streams, through the under ground washes with which the San Fernando and San Gabriel valleys are filled. The San Gabriel river is different from the Los Angeles river in that it has a perennial flow from the mountains in which it originates and is less affected by seasons of drouth. The peculiar geological structure of the washes referred to shows they are made up of sand and gravel with the bed rock between 200 and 300 feet below the sea level. These immense subterranean filter galleries as we may speak of them, make the character of our water supply one of the most ideal as far as bacteria] invasion is concerned. If it were possible to bring this water filtered through its beds of sand, gravel and alluvial debris directly into 0111 city mains then our water supply would be most ideal in quality.
