The swift pace of the moon's great shadow was described by Captain A. W.

Stevens of the Army Air Corps experimental laboratory of Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio. "We were high above a layer of white clouds about 18,000 feet over Honey Lake, In Northern California," said Captain Stevens. "Suddenly we spied what we thought was a mountain about seventy-five miles in the distance. "The dark spot appeared to be stationary at first. Then we saw It approaching, and knew it was the moon's shadow.

"The dark spot came slowly at first, then faster and faster. It passed beneath us so rapidly we could hardly perceive It. Turning our plane, ws photographed It as It disappeared. "The shadow appeared to be a luminous and bluish purple and Its diameter was about three-fourths of a mile, with Its edges clearly defined. "A snowstorm was raging below the plane at the time of the eclipse, and the exhaust fumes from the plane froze and left long trailing streaks In the sky." As the moon moved across the face of the sun, astronomers of Lick Observatory and other scientists obtained an almost unobstructed view.

Hundreds of photographic records were made by the expeditions, the most comprehensive ever gathered to photograph an eclipse. AS FARMING LANDS; Assessment Appeals of Sport Organization Not let Heard. Judgment waa reserved by Mr, Justice D. A. McDonald on appeals heard In 1 Supreme Court of Mrs.

Margaret Elizabeth McCleery and of Mrs. Theodore Mil Hon Logan to have the assessments of farm lands, which are south of Marine Drive and in the vicinity of Blenheim street, reduced from 500 to $250 an acre. The appeals were from the Vancouver Court of Revision, which assessed Mrs. McCleery's sixty-nine acres at $34,850 and Mrs. Logan's seventy-two acres at $38,180, Although the appeals of Point Grey Golf and Country Club and of Marine i Drive Golf and Country Club have not vet been heard, his lordship Intimated that he did not think that the 200 acres used for golf links by the two clubs were ln the same category as farm lands.

The clubs hoped to reap the benefit of whatever reductions were granted the agricultural holdings of Mrs. McCleery and Mrs. Logan on the ground that their properties were similar. Objection waa taken to the hearing of the' appeals by Mr. George E.

Mc-Crossan, K.C., counsel with Arthur Lord, for the city. His point was that the Court of Revision, in their discretion, had classified the lands in question aa agricultural, and that there was no appeal under the circumstances. Mr. A. E.

Bull was counsel for Mrs. McCleery and Mrs. Logan, Mr. E. A.

Dickie for the Point Orey Oolf and Country Club and Mr. H. M. McKlm for the Marine Drive Golf and Country Club. Two Californian Motorists Are Killed in France LEMANS.

Photographs of a celestial phenomenon, the eclipse of the sun by the moon, were available to posterity today, thanks to a roaring wind which at the critical moment swept aside a black cloud which had obscured the view.

The black cloud, apparently formed by mist in the frigid air, startled scientists and their aviator assistants along the line of totality, stretching eastward across the Sierra Mountains just north of San Francisco. But a moment later a strong wind swept the cloud away and scores ALL DIVORCE BILLS House Postpones Action Till Divorce Court Bill Is Disposed Of. OTTAWA, April 29. Applicants for divorce before the House of Commons will have to wait until after May 13 before their bills can be presented. When the first of scores of divorce bills was Introduced In the House yesterday, J.

8. Woodsworth moved an amendment that action be rjostuoned. so that the Divorce Court Bill might be disposed of before they were dealt with. The amendment was carried. The object of Mr.

Woodsworth was very plain, namely, to see If, mesnwhlle, the bill establishing a Divorce Court in Ontario carries. If It does, then all the divorce bills will go through flying In recognition of the fact that this will be the last year of them as coming from Ontario. But, If the Divorce Court Bill Is not passed, then the Idea Is to combat each bill separately and generally ball up the whole works. With the exception of two or three bills, the list was laid over. "I don't believe In permitting the House to say they are opposed to the principle of divorce, and then having these bills passed without discussion," the member for Central Winnipeg declared.

Indicating his purpose, be added: "without msklng any threat, I shall say we must consider passing every bill on its merits and having every bill fully discussed before it Is disposed of." This line of strategy caused a couple of divisions to delay two specific bills, but this was unsuccessful. Agreement with the proposal of Mr. Woodsworth was expressed by Premier King. He was not opposed to the private divorce measures standing over for a couple of weeks to see if the Ontario Bill could be disposed of.

To the late Senator Bostock belongs the credit for starting the Weekly Province In Victoria, the predecessor of the "Vancouver Dally Province."

Scalfe as editor. Mr. Archer Martin, now a justice of the court of appeal, and Mr. Bostock, as he wss 1 then, were the other two directors of the original Province company. The i actual job of printing the paper.

This from Page 1.) was his home town, here he was familiarly known and In earlier days he was more frequently seen than recently. 'Owing to his high duties at the capital, he was In the city less and less latterly, but It was to his old home at Monte Creek that he pressed forward wbn the end came. It was here his heart lay. "Senator Bostock's achievements In political life brought lustre to Kam-ioopa.

To the outside world Monte Creek was but a name, but Kamloops was always associated with his fame. He had a warm sidd ever for the home town and was always Interested In Its welfare. 1 "He brought to this country from England a tradition which never forsook him, the conduct of affairs along distinctly British constitutional lines. In the early days bis and skill were of Importance, and he was soon an acknowledged leader among many much his superior In age and experience. His early English associations never forsook him and the con-dGct of his estate and his family life were based on the old fashion of English county usage.

"Kamloops oity mourns the bereavement of Its leading citizen for that the senator could be called and It la no perfunctory offer on Its part, but something' very personal and feeling, when It wishes to extend to Mrs. Bostock and her children heartfelt sympathy at this time of their Irreparable ices." PRAISED BY PREMIER TOLM1E. VICTORIA, April 29 Premier Tolmie paid a high tribute to the memory of the late Hon. Hewitt Bostock, Speaker of the Canadian Senate. "I have heard wtlh the utmost regret of Mr.

Bostock's death," the Premier said. "He was a man whom I had known for many years both In his public and private life, for while he played an eminent part In public affairs, he did much for agriculture In this province through his success as a cattle rancher In the Interior. "Mr. Bostock was held in the highest esteem in Ottawa, where he filled his hiirh office us Sneaker of the Senate i with efficiency and dignity. He waa a man of very kindly disposition witn a host of friends from one end of Canada to the other and never at any time have I heard any criticism of him in any capacity.

He was always ready and glad to do anything at Ottawa to promote the prosperity of his province and will be much missed here as he Is In the capital." WH.LOrOHBY'S TRIBUTE. MOOSE JAW. April 29.

"It seems only a few days ago since I attended the reception of the British besdmasters in Speaker Boi.tock's chambers In the Benate, and he appeared to be In bis utual health.
