' Atmospheric absorption [of solar heat] had never before been studied with such precision as it was by Langley on 

 Mount Whitney. Aided by simultaneous observations from Lone Pine, at the foot of the Sierra, he was able to calculate 

 the intensity belonging to each ray before entering the earth's gaseous envelope in other words, to construct an extra- 

 atmospheric curve of energy in the spectrum.' Miss Agnes M. Clerke. The author invented the bolometer, which he 

 largely used in the investigations described in the above work.
