1011. By Dr. C. S. Brainin of the Columbia University Observatory Staff.

Saturday, June 1918, will be a red letter day for American astronomers, both professional and amateur. On that day a total Holar eclipse will occur, visible in certain parts of the United States. Dame Nature will spread before us what is undoubtedly the very finest spectacle In all her wonderful realm. Not every resident of the country will be in a position to see the phenomenon, for the favored region Is a strip less than seventy miles wide, but extending from the State of Washington to Florida. Our map Hhows the location of this strip, or "path of totality," and gives some of the cities and towns which will be good points for observation and to which pilgrims from outside this zone should flock.

The entire remainder of the United States, as well as Canada, will see the eclipse as a partial one of greater or less degree, depending on the distance from the "path." Do not think, however, that if you live in a place where the sun will be 80 per cent covered you will see 80 per cent of what a person in Denver, for example, will see; we can not make It too emphatic that you-will have to be within the path to see anything at all of the phenomena of the totality and an almost total eclipse ia no better than a small partial one. What Is an Eclipse? At the time of the eclipse, the positions of the Bun, moori' and earth are such that the moon cuts off a portion of the earth from receiving direct sunlight; i. the moon gets directly between the sun and the earth in such a way as to prevent Inhabitants of a certain region from seeing the sun. This may be put in still, a third way: the shadow of the moon touches the earth. The mechanics of this is very simple: The earth revolves about the sun, and the moon revolves about thw earth, Necessarily, therefore, the moon will have to get in, periodically, between the earth and the sun, and this happens every time there is a new moon.

But we do not have an eclipse so often, because in order to have an eclipse the three bodies must He fairly well along a straight line, while at most new moons the moon Is either too far above or too far below the line Joining earth and sun to produce the eclipse phenomenon. The reason for this is that the plane In which the moon revolves about the earth is not the same as the plane In which the earth revolves about the sun, but rather makes an angle of about fifty with, the latter plane. Therefore, the moon's shadow usually passes above or below the earth, and does not touch it: The phas6 of the moon at the time of any solar eclipse is always new. The relative distances of the sun and the moon from the earth and their relative sizes are suchthat only the tip if the moon's shadow ever reaches the earth, and for that reason the path of totality narrow, averaging about Bixty miles. As the moon travels with tremend ous velocity along Its orbit the point of the shadow travels wltn correspondingly high velocity over the earth's surface.

Furthermore, aa the 1 disks of the sun and the moon, seen from tho appear of very near ly the same size, the time during which the moon can keep the sun's face covered Is necessarily very short, not exceeding seven minutes. All these reasons combine In mak lng the total solar eclipse a rather rarely observed phenomenon; not only that the phenomenon Itself is of so rare occurrence, but it is visible only to few people properly located. In fact, solar eclipses, to'tal and partial, are of more frequent occurrence than lunar eclipses, but tbe lat- Member ot The Associated Press.

TfidweM the confidence men, went to pay Bar-nett they displayed, according to Bar-nett, about $5,000 in paper money. Then Barnett said he had been playing on a check, and the men said if he would cash the check and show them he was really worth that amount, they would gladly pay him what he had won. Barnett went to Fort Worth, and told his employer, DeWltt Kerr, what had occurred. The latter returned to Wichita with Barnett, Saturday. Barnett went to the Savoy Hotel to collect his winnings.

When he displayed his roll of $4,500 and started to count it on request from the men, the three men robbed Barnett of his money. The men dashed thru the door, "pulling, the door shut after them. The knob had been purposely loosened, and when the con men pulled the door shut, they pulled out the knob. Barnett was a prisoner in the room. He managed to crawl over the transom and give the alarm, but too late.

The men made their escape down the back stairway. The police are of the opinion they had a motor car in waiting, and left the city in the car. Barnett and Kerr went to the po lice station and reported the matter to Director Zickefoose. K. U.

TO HAVE WAR COMMENCEMENT James W. Gerard Former Ambassador to Germany to Give Address. Lawrence, June 3. A box break fast by the senior class began the forty-sixth annual commencement exercises at the University of Kansas June 1. To conform in full to the spirit of food conservation tho senior class abandoned the customary commencement breakfast that was served by a caterer and each member brought his breakfast to the campns in a box or bag and the class thus held its last meeting as a Unlver sity undergraduate uult.

The com mencement exercises will close June 3 with an address by James W. Gerard former ambassador to Germany, and the conferring of degrees by Chancel lor Frank Strong. The baccalaureate sermon was June 2 by the Rever end Clyde McGee. pastor of the Union Church, Chicago. Commencement ceremonies have been cut down from the customary week to three days and tho program repeats these words in several places, "If the government requires the gym naslum for soldiers here for instruc tion" this part of the program will be omitted.

Degrees will be award ed to 193 women and 192 men and teachers will be granted to 115 worn en and 192 men and teachers certifi catcs will be granted to 115 women and six men. Only a small number of the men will be present to receive their degrees because most of them are in service or some form of government war work. TWO WICHITA MEN HURT IN A WRECK Injured in Kansas City When Tvvo Motor Cars Collide. Kansas City, June 3. B.

F. Coleman, said to be a Wichita iron worker, is dead; and AL Bennett, said to be a Wichita chauffeur, is in the General Hospital here with serious injuries resulting from a motor car accident Saturday at mldnlgrtt. A man giving the name of Charles Richardson and driver of the car in which Coleman and Bennett were riding, escaped with slight injuries. Coleman and Bennett arrived in Kansas City only a few hours before the collision. The trio was speeding on a downtown street, when a car collided with their machine at right angles at a corner.

Richardson lost control of the machine just as the cars hit; and he and the other men were thrown against a trolley pole. Coleman died at the General Hospital Sunday morning. No F. Coleman" appears in the Wichita city directory. There is an "Albert and an "Albert C.

Bennett" listed but It was not learned if either of these was the Injured man. With the shortage of labor available for road-making and the more general use of the roads for heavy hauling. It is likely that the rotuls as they exist will not be able to withstand the hard usage, and the outlook In dubious for the automobile. Many Industrial companies are making use of fleets of trucks to deliver their Roods, Instead of subjecting themselves to the uncertain-ties of the railroad service and the wear and tear on the raids thus mode use of is more than Ihey can take care of. This more than ever makes It evident that there should bo some very decided reforms made in the matter of rond building.

The makeshift repairs which have heretofore been mado are not now sufficient, and all new road-building work should be made on the most substantial lines. sunlight in the shadow, say, of a nearby tree, are of the form of a crescent; this is a pin-hole camera effect, produced by the small spaces between the leaves. As the crescent shrinks further Into a very thin line of light, the darkness begins to become noticeable and decidedly uncanny. The moon moves on, and suddenly the last lingering ray of sunlight is cut off. The darkness has deepened, and in that instant the rose-red colors of the chromosphere and prominences flash out, surrounded by the pale glory of the corona.

Some of the bright neighboring stars and planets also become visible and add to thu lmpressiveness of the sublime spectacle. The few minutes allotted to us pass altogether too soon, for, with the first ray of direct sunlight coming from the western edge of the sun, uncovered by the progress of the moon, the vision vanishes. The eclipse again becomes partial; gradually the moon removes itself from between us and the sun. and the davlicrht returns to flormaL Nothing more of corona or prominences is to be seen; but tha mental image never fades. The Eclipse in History.

Since the eclipse of the sun is a phenomenon easily observable by the naked eye and one which, unlike most astronomic wonders, rather thrusts itself upon the inhabitants, human tnd animal, it has played a no inconspicuous part in the history and life of mankind. Many an ancient pagan priest has made use of an eclipse to impress" the powers of his gods and, Incidentally, of himself upon the ignorant populace. The priest-astronomers of Babylon early learned the way of predicting eclipses, and the Chinese probably even preceded them. Before 2000 B. C.

the latter already had official astronomers whose duty it was to predict the phenomenon and also to take the proper precautions to ward off any evils which it might tend to bring. Once a couple of these savants failed to predict an eclipse and lost their lives as a consequence; today the life of an astronomer is not quite so hazardous. The earliest recorded prediction of an eclipse by a European is that foretold by the Greek, Thales. This eclipse happened right in the midst of a merry battle between Lydians and Medes, and it scared both sides so mucli that they decided to make peace. Many other interesting incidents astronomers have been able to set dates for many ancient events for which historians otherwise would be at a loss.

The ancient Babylonian astronomers discovered that there existed a certain period repetition about the might be told, but for lack of space. The eclipse is one phenomenon that every chronicler carefully noted, and occurrence of boIot eclipses, bo that, for instance, if an eclipse happened on June 8, 1918, an exactly similar eclipse would occur 6,585 days later. This ia true for every solar eclipse. All the motions which enter into the production of eclipses are periodic, i. take a certain definite time to be completed and then start new again, like the oscillations of a clock pendulum.

It follows, therefore, that given a long enough time, any possible configuration of the three bodies In question sun, moon and earth is bound to repeat itself exactly. Hence the Saros, which is nothing but the lowest common multiple of the proper periods. (Copyright 1918 by C. S. Brainin.) nnm Amir HAT rv ft rv 1.

The beauty of tho total eclipse of llltl huh la uuu mo liiti mai mc main body of the sun is surrounded by a layer of luminous gases called the chromosphere, which has a rich red color and from which great "flames," or prominences, shoot out thousands of miles jrtto space; besides this, and outside of it, is the great. Irregular halo called the corona, which Is of pale, silvery colored light. At ordinary times, these are invisible, because of the dominating and blinding light of the sun Itself. By means of certain Instalments the chromosphere and prominences, tho not the corona, can be studied by astronomers any time; but only at a total ecllpso are these beauties revealed 'to the.nnked eye. One may use a smoked glass to view tho progress of the partial eclipse phase which precedes (nnd follows) the totality, but no instrument Is necessary at the final moment.

Before the preliminary partial phase of the eclipse begins, the moon, which is quite close to the sun, is of course absolutely Invisible Suddenly we notice that a small slice hns been cut off the sun's disk; gradually this block sector increases, as the moon 1 I.
