Capital Expects Big Increase Of

year period. An immediate effect Of tie present war, according to best obtain.
able estimates, is that the federal government population here will be In
creased by 10000 before Christmas. Many officials believe that this increase
will be permanent and that 1t will necessitate the employment Of additional
persons in many industries and trades.
II the SAN ratio Of increase should be maintained during the next decade
as was recorded in the ten years following the Civil wa the capital would
have n total population of more than half a million by 1927.
The task before the commissioners and local service corporations is to
estimate the increase and begin now to formulate plans to meet the demand
for additional service. With respect to providing additional school buildings
and street. improvements. that would be called for by Ii n enlarged population,
the commissioners, it is believed, will be impressed by the importance Of
starting o w to make estimates. Work on the next budget will start In Sep
TENDER and 1t will be next July before any appropriations that congress may
authorize will become available. BY imt time, it is pointed out, the capitals
population may have recorded a considerable growth.

I ing map. But this most interesting world, whose rapid motion and chang ing appearance are always so well worthy of study, will remain with us throughout the entire year
 PHENOMENA OF YEAR 1918
 Unquestionably the most important astronomical event of the year will be the total eclipse of the sun which will occur on the afternoon of June 8, , On this date the shadow of the moon 1 will sweep entirely across our coun 1 try, from the state of Washington | in the northwest to Florida in the southeast. Within the path of this shadow the light of the sun will be completely plotted out; from else where in the United States part only of the suns disc will be covered The shadow will strike the extreme northwestern border of our country at about hours minutes D. m. (east- ern standard time), and will arrive at the peninsula of Florida only 50 min utes later. At Philadelphia the eclipse will be a partial one, only seven- tenths of the suns diameter being COW cred. Every reader who can do so is urged to make the journey to some point within the shadow path on this day, for a total eclipse of the sun Is the most impressive heavenly phenom- enon that can ever be witnessed by us.
 Two other eclipses will also occur during the present year. The first is a very small partial eclipse of the moon, only one-eighth of the moons diameter being immersed in tine earth's shadow. This elcipse will take place shortly before sunrise on the morning of June 24. The third eclipse, on December 3, Is q so-called annual eclipse of the sun, totally in- visible to us and visible only from stations in South America and in west ern and southern Africa.
 The motion of our moon among the stars in the course of it's monthly circuit of the heavens is less strik- ing phenomenon but vet a most in teresting subject for study. A very little observation will show that our satellite moves eastward a distance approximately equal to it's own ,diam- eter in the course of one hour and that this changes it's position in the heav- ems about 13 degrees each day The careful observer will also discover that it does not follow exactly the same path on successive months. Thus while the moon passes below the Plei- ades on January 21, February IT. March 16 etc, during the present year, he will notice that on each success sive passage it's path among the stars lies lower, the displacement amount ing to no less than three times the ap- parent diameter of the moon in the course of the year.
 On various evenings the moon will be seen to pass over, or occult, many different stars, but there will be few occasions when planet will be seen to be thus hidden during the present year. Only two planetary oc- cultations will take place. On Au- gust 3 the moon will occult Jupiter and on October it will pass over Mars. but neither of thse interesting phenomena can be viewed from sta tions within the United States

Bombardment From the Air

Frederick w. Finn of the French Aviation
 Corps. in Leslie's
 It. may be stated at the very outset that which may appear so feasible in America, are not an mpossibility. It takes a pilot of extraordinary endurance to bomb even the Westphalian border towns Because Essen is only 200 miles from the battle fnont. and there are airpanes capable of making 100 miles an hour, one must not jump at the conclusion that the town can be bombarded in four-hour flight Actually the return trip requires over seven hours of continuous flying. The few men who have been able to carry out these long raids were, almost with out exception, pilots before the war; they have had a minimum of three years fly ing training. The cities and towns within reach of the average bombardment pilot are, as a rule, not desirable objectives owing to the presence of French and Bel gium civilians, who would suffer more than the Germans in case the place were bonibarded The only really eff fective military objectives, cantonments, munition depots, and the like. and which are carried out in connection with of fensive operations. The general com manding designates as objectives the points whose destruction will best help along his plan of attack. Independent bomb dropping expeditions, no matter on what scale they may be carried out, will not in themselves drive the Germans out of their trenches, any more than will merely pounding their back areas with ar- tillery.
 AS variation to bombing them out it has been suggested that huee fleets oe airpianes be used to sweep down on the trenches and destroy the occupants by machine gun fire. This idea Is sufficient ly picturesque to appeal strongly to ones
 
 advantage-the loss in aviators would be greater than the destruction of Germans. and when it was all over, the enemy would still be in undisputed possession of their original trenches. No one, who gives the matter the slightest thought will ever consider that an air fleet can be effectively used directly against troops in trenches.
