STRIKES MENACE
GREAT BRITAIN

LONDON, January 13.-Industrial
insurgency of the most radical type
and on the widest scale again men
aces Great Britain. In three of the
chief departments of labor-cotton,
railways and mining-conditions are
fast assuming a dangerous aspect.
All over the United Kingdom are
strikes and lockouts, and, according to
a radical journal, rs per cent of the
economic energy of these islands is
affected by the yeast of labor discon-
tent and unrest.
Tory and Unionist charge it all up
to the so-called socialistic propaganda
of Lloyd-George, pointing out that just
when statistics show John Bull to
have had record-breaking trade year,
"agitators and demagogues. leading n
radical government, see their follow
ers embarking on a crazy series of adj
ventures that cannot possibly yield
an extra shilling to any workingman
in the United Kingdom
Upward of 100000 persons have
been for fortnight on strike pay OF
half wage as the result of the lockout
in the cotton trades, and no adjust
ment in sight.

cALIFoRIA LEADS IN
OIL PRODUCTION IN 1911

WASHINGTON, January 16.-Cali-
fornia's gain in the production of oil
in 1911 was greater than the net gain
for the entire country, the decline
of other districts offsetting the in
crease in the Middle West and South.
An official of the Geological Survey
said today:
THE increase was from 73,010,560
barrels in 1910 to 81 100000 (estimat-
ed in 1911. The prices in California
were held at 80 to 65 cents, according
to quality, with higher prices for oils
near the Los Angeles market.
THE petroleum industry assumed a
steadier condition." the official report
continued, owing to the absence of
the disturbing incidents of 1910, such
as the bringing in the Lake View
gusher and other great wells in Cali
fornia.

No way has been yet found in
which the suns corona with its un-
known gases may be properly studied
except during a total eclipse. The
wonderful halo that the sun wears is
one of the most interesting objects in
the heavens to astronomers, and it is
important to know all that can be
known about these strange lights that
shoot out millions of miles beyond
the sun
No eclipse can ever last more than
seven minutes and fifty-eight seconds.
That is brought about only when the
sun is as far from the earth as it ever
gets, and the moon is as near as il
ever gets, and such a combination Of
events will occur only once in a thou
sand years The longest recent
eclipse lasted six minutes, and that
was considered a wonderful length of
time to have to work in. Everything,
of course, is done by photography.
The astronomers and their assistants
are well drilled, and all the work that
can be crowded into so short a space
of time is accurately done The Paris
eclipse will be very short and little
attention will be paid to it by astrono-
mers. One much more interesting
will occur in South America in Octo-
Der
Eclipses have been calculated from
the year 1907 B. c. to 1852 A. d.
/ There is always, Of course, the pos.
sible error of a few seconds of time
on account of the cratic moon. If
she attended to her revolutions in \
businesslike way, eclpses would oc
cur always in the same part of the
world, but owing to the fact that she
jumps about, the small point that her
shadow throws on the earth travels
Z over sea and land and has to be chas
ed thousands of miles by the astrono
mers who wish to study the suns co
roma and other phenomena which car
best be observed during an eclipse.

INSURGENTS LOSE
IN HOUSE FIGHT.

WASHINGTON, January Ire
publican insurgents met defeat in the
House today in an attempt to upset
Republican Leader Manns power to
name all Republican candidates for
places on the House committees.
Led by Representative Norris of
Nebraska, who waged the great rules
fight of the previous Congress, the in
surgents tried to set aside Mann's
nomination of Phillip B. Campbell of
Kansas, regular to succeed the late
e. II. Madison insurgent, on the Com
mittee on Rules, and to nominate in
his place Victor Murdoch of Kansas,
insurgent.
Opposed by both Democratic and
Republican leaders, the insurgent at
tempt was beaten by vote of 1917
to 1O7.

THE MOON IS REALLY AN
ASTRONOMICAL NUISANCE

the moon u.s. The result is that when
the moon is measured they do not
know exactly what to give as the dis
lance of the earth from the moon at
that particular moment. This dis
lance is calculated a little differently
in different countries, not very differ
emily, but just enough to make uncer-
tain the question whether the April
eclipse will or will not be total
OF course, the nearer the moon is
to the earth the bigger it seems. The
true semi-diameter of the moon is cal
culated by English astronomers at Ia
minutes and 4224 seconds and BY
French astronomers at 10 minutes
43S seconds This very small differ
ence in calculation is what makes /
division of opinion about the eclipse
now
Prof Mitchell says that in all proba-
Ibility neither school will be found to
be absolutely exact. when | was in
Spain in 1901 photographing the total
eclipse visible there" said Prof.
Mitchell, the moment of eclipse came
ten seconds sooner than had been cal
culated. That was not because there
had been any inaccuracy in the mathe-
NAUTICAL work, but simply because of
the erratic motion of the moon which
had made it impossible to tell with
exactness just how she would move
The position of the planets, the
things have an influence on the mo
ton of the moon. Not only does this
erratic conduct interfere with astro
nomical calculations, but the moon
makes it impossible to study the stars
for a part of the time and blurs pho
Geographic plates, and generally makes
itself Objectionable. It's surface has
been thoroughly studied, no change
can be observed, no astronomer is to
day interested in the moon as an OBJ
ject of observation, and, in short, oul
old friend could be done away with
out sigh from any student of tn,
! heavens.
) 1t is, of course, very important t,

eclipses are going to occur There
may be as many as five eclipses Of
the sun in year, but a total eclips
that may be observed in some accessi
BILE place is a comparative rarity, anC
important scientific work depends OF
what is accomplished during the prec
ious minutes of comparative dark
ness.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1912-01-27

A dispatch appeared this week tell
ing of the eclipse of the sun that
is to be visible to Paris in the month
of April, and mentioning a division of
opinion between English and French
astronomers as to wether the eclipse
would or would not be total.
If there is to the average person
one thing more mysterious than an
other il is the calculations of astro-
nomers, but that there should be
marked division of opinion among
them on a subject so much discussed
as that of eclipses is a surprise TO
most people. why should there be
speculation as to whether the com
ing clpse will be total or an
nular. whether the disk of the sun
! win be quite obscured, or whether a
ring of its surface will shine at the
darkest moment of the eclipse.
1t all comes down, of course, to a
question of the size of the moon.
French and English authorities disa-
gree slightly as to the diameter of
the moon, and the calculations of
American and German astronomers
are not exactly like either the French
or the English. 1t is, however, be-
tween these last that there is the
greatest diversion of opinion 1t is
only a very small divergence, be it
understood, but under certain condi-
lions it amounts to the difference be-
tween a total and annular eclipse Of
the sun.
When one comes to look into the
matter still further it will be found
that the trouble arises not from any
disagreement as to the methods that
should be used to measure the moon
but because of the erratic motion Of
that orb.
"The moon," said Prof. S. l. Mitch
ell of Colombia University, to a Led
ger reporter, lis an astronomical nuis-
ance. 1t gives more trouble than all
the rest of the heavenly bodies put
together. If we astronomers had oul
way we would abolish it."
The distressing truth is that our
good old family moon, with which we
were brought up and on which we
have always looked with such affec.
tionate familiarity is anything but &
steady-going and reliable body. There
may be little that is certain in the
universe, but the moon is a good can
didate for the position of it's most
Eighty thing.
