from Country Life on "How to See
London in Two Days." is timely.
In normal days. when American visi-
tors filed the hotels, sightseeing was,
In spite of American hustle, a fairly
leisurely thing. 1t is the soldiers who
are here today who have to be the real
hustlers. Their sightseeing has often
to be crammed into a day or two's
leave, and the problem of how to see
all possible, and yet so to see as to
store up mental pictures, clear, definite
and full of color, on which TO draw in
pleasurable restrospection for the rest
of life, is one which probably few of
them are solving.
Now, the secret of success in sight
seeing is discrimination and selection.
Try to see everything and you see
effectively-nothing. Your thousand
impressions are mixed, in week they
are hard to disentangle, in year they
have vanished. On this principle l
throw out ideas for those who have no
more than a couple of days to give to
the work and the pleasure. On more
than one ground 1 should counsel the
giving up of at Least half day to out
door sightseeing. The hugeness of
London strikes everyone who gives
days to its discovery. The best way of
getting the same impression quickly
is to travel from end to end Of the
route of one of the great London lin

ECLIPSE OF SUN |S COMING SOON
 FOR OUTSIDERS

DENVER, May 29-Tia total eclipse of the sun forecast to occur on June 8 has ben postponed for one hour. This is not the result of any error in the calculations of the astronomers nor is it due to an orrier by modern Joshua that the sun stand still, but is chargeable to the opera tions of the daylign. saving law as a result of which the clocks through out the United States were SC. for ward an hour on March a1.
 In consequence, the .:lipse will begin in Denver at I:l2 D. ,l., will become total at 5.22 D. n, WI pass from totality at 5:2+ p. nj. aid will end at 6:27. The same variations in the hours of the eclipse will pre- vail throughout the length of the fiftymile belt, extending from the southeastern corner of Washington state to the coast of Flor;ca. in which the total eclipse will be visible.
 This change in hours will ::rt af- feet the astronomers. however, as their clocks still are adjusted to the standard sun time.
 Preparations for observing the eclipse, the first total eclipse of the sun visible in the United States since 1900, and the last until 1929. are going ahead rapilly at he U..iver- sity of Denver observatory, where astronomers from Yerkes noserva- tory will make their observations. Professor Edwin B. Frost, Of the Yerkes observatory at Green Bay, Wis, recently notified Dean Herbert A. Howe, head of the 0,.artment cf Astronomy of the University of Denver, that several .h;pments of specially prepared instruments are enroute.

 ''It is difficult to enforce laws which are against the public's wish, and easy when the public takes suffi- cient interest to report any infrac- tions of the law to us," said Mir. Tanner.
 When asked if he thought there would be any attempt to distill liquor he said that he would not be surprised as the people used to dis till considerable liquor when Alaska was dry before. He says that he had known of stills running back in the early days of '98, but that if any persons thought they could get away with it now they would have another guess coming.

BOCHE NOVELTY
 IN AIR BATTLE
 IS BOOMERANG

LONDON, May 29.-The airplane circus, which was introduced by Germany two years ago, has taken notable part in the fighting on the Western front recenly. The use of he word "circus" in this con- nection has now become recognized among both British and French avi- ators. It indicates virtually a spe- cially organized troop of picked pilots whose job is simply to destroy enemy airplanes.
 These circuses are complete units equipped with their own transport mechanical shops, and all necessary accessories. Wherever there is fight ing to be done, the circuses move quickly to the danger point If a big attack is to be made by either side, the rival circuses are moved to aerodomes in that district, and each endeavors to prevent the others reconnaissance machines from oper- ating. The circus performs, in fact, precisely the functions of destroyer flotillas in the navy.
 The first circus was formed by Captain Boelke, one of the early German star pilots. He collected a number of picked pilots, including the Richthofens, Voss, and Schaefer, of whom the two latter have been killed within a year. Boelke himself was killed in 1916, and the elder Richthofen took over the circus.
 On the British side, the reply came in squadron organized by Major Hawkern, which the Germans called the "Anti-Richthofen Circus" Ul- timately, Hawker fell in a fight with Richthofen.
 During the fighting of the past few weeks several circuses of picked pilots have been in action on both sides. They have reduced fighting in formation to fine art, each pilot as one of a team and refusing to be drawn away from the formation into single-handed fights.

Regular communication is now being conducted with Deutch Altengurg in Austria, and also with Tsarsko-Selo. Wireless messages have also been exchanged with Span ish stations and with Constantinople. Word has also been received that the Karlsborg stations messages have been read by a little station in Damascus, Palestine, although the Damascus stations plant is too weak to reach Karlsborg.

EMITTING THE JAILS

That the enforcement of the pro- hibition law has had the effect of lessening crime in Alaska, is the opinion of United States Marshal J. M. Tanner, of the First division, with headquarters at Juneau. "We have twenty fewer prisoners in the Juneau jail now than we had at this time last year. he said recently, in discussing the operation and results of the dry law, which the voters of the territory expressed a desire to have enacted. Continuing, he said that he expected the number to fall off fifty per cent or more, all owing to the enforcement of the new law
 Prohibition not only is emptying the jails in the First division, as it is in all other sections of the terri tory, but it also is putting the police SOuiIS OUt O1 COIlIIllSSlOu. ne Ju- neau city magistrate, as an illustra- tion, recently reported that he had been called upon to try only one case since the first of the year, whereas the rate, before the terri tory went dry, was at least one case a day.
 Regarding the difficulty of appre- hending smugglers and other illegal traffickers in booze, MT. Tanner is of the opinion that it will not be nearly so difficult to prevent their operation as it used to be in the early days, since now they have sev- eral times more officers, and the big fact that the public is decidedly

tronomers are greatly interested in the result of this work as affording opportunity to study the composition of this great outer belt of luminous gases which surround the sun.
 Photographs also will be taken of the sky in the region oi the sun in search of any stray comet and also of the mythical planet Vulcan, which some astronomers have asserted has its orbit so close to the sun that it can be seen only during an eclipse. The existence of such a planet is doubted by most astronomers, how ever.

AERIAL SCHOOL
 OF PHOTOGRAPHY
 MAKES SHOWING

ROCHESTER, N. Y, May 29.-
 With more than 800 men enrolled, representing every state in the union the Army School of Aerial Photo graphy is nearing the end of it's first i term of instruction, and the men who have taken the course of inten- sified training are anticipating ar early assignment as members of the Signal Corps, to one of the fighting flying divisions abroad.
 More than 300 men for whom ac- commodations could not be found here, have been sent to Madison Barracks, Sacket Harbor, N. Y, for la period of military training before the ybegin their photographic work here.
 All of the facilities of large factory here have been placed at the disposal of Captain c. F. Betz, the school commandant and his as- sistants. Officers from the Allied armies, who have seen actual ser vice in the flying zone, have been detailed to the school to instruct those whose task it will be to operate and maintain the photographic de- vices of the scouting airmen.
 Details of the course of instruc- ton naturally have not been made public. When the men first ar rived in Rochester and were taken to barracks the process of enrolment and classification was the same as that at any army post. The post surgeon passed on their physical qualifications, vaccinated them and gave them the customary party phoid inoculations.
 Several days of military training, followed so that the men now pre- sent the appearance of trained sol diers. Then they were taken into the laboratories where the latest and l improved methods of photographic | processes were taught them. They 1 were shown not only how to operate 1 the cameras usd by the airmen, but also how to repair them. The gradu- ated student will know how to de- velop and print the negative he i takes.
 The assurance is given that the training at this school will result in the graduation of new t. 3 of who will be in great de- nand in the fighting zone.
 Plans are formulating to give the nen practical experience aloft. Ar 'angements are being made to have l detail of army flyers sent to Rochester. If they come, hanears will be built for their use south of he city, and the photographs will 'e taken with the necessary appar- tus to photograph the country over {; which flight is made !:
 The opportunity to benefit by the raining at the school has been much ought after. Little difficulty is cx- { 'etced in obtaining enough recruit: { or the next and several more ..ia5s- ( $ to come.
