cal length.
The silvery white halo Of the
corona. which looks as if it be
longed to the moon, is the most
impressive object seen during an
eclipse. Portions OF the corona
unquestionsbly extend several
million mileG from the body tba'
it surrounds. The structure of
this envelope eXcites wonder
even in the inexperienced OBJ
server, but it is made the subject
of careful research by the scien-
tist.
Down at the base of the snow
white corona lies a crimson ocean
of hydrogen, helium and other
gases. 1t is called the chrome.
sphere. Langley, Young and
other experts say it is about s.
600 or 5000 miles deep. Up from
this rose red, or blood red, sea at
times rec cloudlike prominences
over 100000 miles high Young
has seen one swiftly grow to an
altitude of 100000 miles. With a
spectroscope it is now possible for
the astronomer to study the solar
chromoSphere and prominences
at almost any time, but the anna
teur can see them only during a
total eclipse.
After it is all over, perhaps the
astronomers may tell us the an
swers to many questions abou
the corona which as yet have
never been answered. They may
also have news of Vulcan, that
mysterious star, that lost world,
which is supposed to exist some
where between the sun and Mer-
curry.

A Left-Handed Party.

A hostess often finds difficult
ty in entertaining her young
friends Here is a novel way to
spend an evening which will af-
ford amusement to the old and
the young. In sending out in
vitatiOns request each guest to
come with the right hand secure
ly bound up Let no one be eX-
cepted. When the hostess grcets
them she extends her left hand
and gets them to write their
names in Il blank book on her
desk. The page will soon have
the appearance of a thrce-year-
ODDS first attempt to write.
Some solOist may play her own
left-handed accompaniment,
and an elocutionist rccite, max
ing all her gestures with her
left hand. The menu must in
clude something that will de-
mand the use Of spoon add to
