ECLIPSEs OF DECEMBER

Two interesting eclipses will occur
 during the present month, one of the
 sun and one of the moon. These will
 make a total of no less than seven
 eclpses which have taken place during
 the year 1917. which is the greatest num-
 Der that can occur in any one year.
 The first December eclipse will be a so-called "Annular Eclipse of the sun. This will be wholly invisible to and can. in fact, only be seen by observers within the area M, N, P, Q of Figure 2. Throughout most of this region the black disc of the moon will be seen to move across, and so cover a portion only of the bright disc from the sun from all points along the line A. B. however. the center of the moon will be seen to move exactly across the center of the sun. At this time our satellite will be so far from the earth that it will not ap- pear sufficiently large to completely hide the sun. Even when the center of the moon is seen exactly upon the center of the sun, a narrow rim of the sun S disc will remain uncovered thus encircling the black disc of the moon with a bril- liant ring of light.
 The second December eclipse will be a total eclipse of the moon. This may be viewed during the early morning hours of December 2S from all stations in North and South America and from eastern Asia. Unfortunately, the eclipse occurs at a rather inconvenent hour; it will be necessary for the observer to remain up
 until long after midnight of December 27 1 in order to witness it, but the phenom- ena are so very interesting that he will be well repaid for his trouble.
 The great shadow of the earth which stretches out into space to a distance of S57,090 miles in direction exactly op- posite the sun, has a conical shape
 From any point within this shadow cone the light of the sun will be cut off, the brilliant suns disc being hidden as seen from this point by the opaque ball of the earth coming in front of it. The moon will plunge into this shadow and so be 1 darkened on December 28 the center

THE STARRY SKIES IN DECEMBER

By far the most striking star groups of the heavens are those which now fill the eastern sky. Even one who seldom looks upward and who hardly knows one star from another is apt to have his at tention arrested by this beautiful dis play and to perhaps wonder why the stars seem to him so unusually bright probably not at all knowing that the heavenly objects which shine upon these, the earliest of our winter evenings, are wholly different from the fainter stars which are to be seen on the evenings of summer
 The groups of Taurus, Orion and Gemi- nj have now mounted high above the eastern horizon. In this region there also shine the golden Capella and the bluish Urocyon, while the Greater Dos Star. Sirius, the greatest sun of al is just emerging from below the ground. There is only wanting the bright group Leo, and when, toward the end of the month, this also enters our evening sky the brilliant train of winter constella- tions will be complete.
 All of these bright stars will remain .,ith us throughout the winter It will rot be until toward the close or Apfll that the western edge of Taurus will have reached the western horizon and the Withdrawal of the bright winter groups from our evening heavens will begin.
 The remarkable position of the planet Jupiter almost in the center of Taurus and just above the Hyades, will afford the observer an unusually good opportun- ity for clearly seeing the motion of this slowly moving world. Though Jupi- ter moves slowly eastward in it's great orbit and thus completes the entire cir cult of the heavens in the course of 12 years, it is now "retrograding," or nov ing westward, among the stars This apparent backward motion is caused by the fact that our earth, which is now between Jupiter and the sum- is moving eastward faster than the distant planet and so displacing it westward in the SKY.
 On December 1 the observer will see Jupiter at the position of A of Figure 1, wholly to the east of the Hyades, while by the end of the month it will have moved to the position B, wholly to the west of this group and almost midway between the Pleiades and the star at C.

The United States. which is notoriously wasteful of all the natural gifts with which nature has favored her, appar- ent1y feels that there is no need to economize in so potential a source of national wealth as it's babies. Their destruction takes it's natural place alongside the destruction of our forests our birds, our animals and our coal; these annual human sacrifices are mere ly another indication of deplorable national habit.

of view, as something which cannot be helped and which it is therefore useless to struggle against. But mod ern science knows better.
 Infant mortality" says Sir Arthur Newsholme, lis the most sensitive index we possess of social welfare and of san itary administration, especially under urban conditions" How judged by this test, does the United States stand among the nations of the world? We are not the worst country. though we are long way from being the best. With a na- tional infant mortality rate which, so far as the statistians can determined, is 124 per thousanl, our record is just a little better than Serbias S. Nations that surpass us are Scotland, Finland, Eng land, Denmark Ireland, France and the Scandinavian countries. The nation that makes the best showing is far away New Zealand, a new and growing coun- try like our own, which loses every year only 51 per thousand of her infants.

, The moons center will reach the posi-
 ton 2S at 2:56 a. m. (eastern standard
 time); it will reach the position B and the moon be most deeply immersed in the shadow at 44618 a. m, and it will
 reach the point and the eclipse will end at 6:27.24 a. tn
 It will be noticed that even when the cen ter of the moon is at B the moon is so far from the center of the shadow that this eclipse barely misses being only a partial one. The moon will, in fact, re- main wholly immersed in the shadow for cnly 16 minutes and 50 seconds. As much sunlight is usually bent within the shadow by refraction as it passes through ] the rim of air surrounding the earth, the upper portion of the moon will at l this time doubtless be far more darkened d l than tlie lower portion and the latter

Our Waste of Babies

 Nearly two an half million babies are born in the United States every year of whom 100000 die before they reach their first birthday. Apparently, that is, one out of every eight babies that first see light on American soil is sacrificed to the unfavorable cir cumstances surrounding it's birth. Ap- parently, too, our first year of existence is the most dangerous in the whole human cycle. A man 70 years old stands a much greater chance of reaching n than a baby born today has to reach

 The planet Mercury will reach its great est distance to the east of the sun rays on the morning of December li. For few evenings before and after this date it may be seen shining in the tWi- light glow, very far toward the south west, for some what more than one hour after sunset.
 ern elongation on November 30. remains our very conspicuous evening star throughout the month. It is unfortunate that this planet has been for many months so very far below the equator that it could only be seen low in the southwestern sky. It moves upward quite rapidly during December, but as it also draws nearer the sun it's time of set ting will remain nearly constant.
 Mars moves rapidly eastward during the month, passing from the eastern bor- ders of Leo into the constellation Virgo. It rises a little to the north of the east point of the horizon at about Il 30 D. m., but is not sufficiently high ill the sky for satisfactory observation until we'll after midnight.
 Jupiter remains the most brilliant ob- ject in the eastern heavens, riding high in the sky, in excellent position for ob- servation. Interesting phenomena of it's satellites may be seen during the nights of December l, G. S. 15, r, 2, 24 and 3l.
 This month witnesses the entrance ot the beautiful Saturn into our evening heavens This planet, which. like Jupiter, is slowly retrograding, will be seen to rise at about D. m. on December 1, and so early as D. m. on December 3l. Throughout the winter it will remain with us, most interesting object for observation.
 On December g at 4:46 a. m (eastern standard time), the sun will reach its lowest position in the heavens and at this instant winter will begin. This will also be the shortest day of the present year, this day being no less than hours and 30 minutes shorter than the follow ing night. ERIC DOOLITTLE.

The strangest paradox presented by Ger. many is her excessively high infant mortality rate; this is 191 per thousand for the German empire and 146 for Prus sia.
