Although the moon looks about the
same size as the sun, it is very mucn
smaller and nearer. The sun is $4,000
miles in diameter and 100000 miles
away, while the moon is 2,163 miles III
diameter and $4,000 miles away. On
account of the moons small size COM

the moon is a cone. and the point of
this cone just barely reaches the earth.
In the August eclipse the diameter
of the cone at the earth's surface Is
only about eighty-fve miles. so that
the eclipse Is visible as total only in d
belt about eighty-five miles wide
stretching over the countries named
above. The important cities Of Bills

about hundred miles north of Stock

half of Africa. Within this region only

Mercury Nearest to Sun.

/. Formerly it was believed probabl that
ne or more planets of the solar system
'Xist nearer the sun than Mercury, and
t was hoped to discover these during
otal solar eclipses. But the sky has
~ co carefully searched that no such
objects large enough to be worth count
ing exist.
Formerly also it was regarded as neces-
sary to wait for eclipses and to see and
study the beautiful rosy flames Of ny
drogen and other gases, called promi-
nences, which surround the sun. But
lcse may now be observed at any time
y means OF a special apparatus. While
.'alue of total eclipses has therefore
somewhat diminished, there still remain
many studies which are confined to them.
Astronomers make very careful prep
,rations and rehearse all details of their
Programs lest some of the precious time
should be wasted. They observe with
he eye and the Photographic plate to de-
ermine the. exact times of totally and
he form and extension of the corona.
They photograph the spectrum of the
orona. and also that of the bright color
d ring OF light which lies at its base
ust on the edge of the sun. They meas
Ire the brightness of the sky and of the
:orona. and make many other observa-
ions useful in learning about the nature
Of the sun.
Although many European and American
larties propose to observe the coming
eclipse, Russians and Scandinavians

Stars Visible During Eclipse.

Wherever the solar eclipse is seen as
total the sky will become nearly as
dark as full moonlight, and a few of
the brighter stars and planets may be
seen. The duration of the totality is
longest near Kief in Russia. where 1t
is two minutes thirteen seconds. Some
times the moon and sun occupy such
positions that although the moon
passes directly between the earth and
the sun the shadow cone does not quite
reach the earth: Such solar eclipses
are called "annular" and are nowhere

There will be total eciipses visible in the
United States June s. 1918; September 10.
1923. and January "a, 1925.
As the glare Of the sun in the sky is
removed. and yet the moon hardly more
han covers the sun. it is possible at
mes of total solar eclipses to see all the
'lestial objects near the sun. These
annot be seen at other times because
hey are lost in the bright sky light. 1t
this which makes astronomers SO eager
. observe total eclipses. The most strik-
ng thing seen is the solar corona,
eautifui pearly light stretching away
rom the sun in all directions, something
Ike the aurora borealis seen in northern
-ountries.
The corona extends from one to three
-olar diameters away from the sun. Its
orm changes from year to year in con-
,ection with the number of sun spots

one of comparatively few sun spots,
he corona is expected to have short but
