MINATURE BLIZZARD STAG Ep
IN LABORATORY CAMPUS
U. OF CALIF.
LOS ANGELES, Dec., 10, (/P>—
A conquest over the elements
which has enabled science to
make snow fly despite the balmy
climes of southern California,
was revealed in an announcement
by Dr. John Mead Adams, asso
ciate professor of physics, Uni
versity of California, at Los An
geles.
Dr. Adams staged a minature
blizzard in his laboratory on the
campus. The apparatus used in
the production of the white crys
tals included a glass tube sur
rounded by containers of gurg
ling waters; a vacuum jug, coils
of white rubber tubing, a cooling
apparatus, and a resistance in
strument.
As the snow crystals formed
they drifted down upon a black
cloth sufficiently cooled to pre
serve them to allow a microscopic
examination and photographing.
Dr. Adams believes that snow
crystals are built up from smaller
crystals through action of a kin
etic or electrical energy, but as
yet he has found no proof of his
theory through experiments.
