CHEVRONS ON
 RIGHT SLEEVE

Paris, July So.-American mon coms" are no longer to wear their cor poral and sergeant chevrons on both arms as heretofore, but will sport them on the right sleeve only. There is some discussion as to the precise reason for the new order-whether a saving of chevrons is intended, or whether it is to prevent the mon coms' from being gradually covered with stripe altogether. Service stripes such as are unfortunately apt to come and kindred marks of honor will even tual1y leave little room for double chevrons. ...

A reader asks about the total
eclipse of the sun to be visible in
the United States on the Sth o. next
June. particularly as to the point
on the earth's surface where the
eclipse starts and at what time of
the day it starts.
This eclipse begins in the western
part of the Pacific ocean, east of the
Philippines, in longitude $50 degrees
east of Greenwich, and necessarily.
the time of day at that point will be
sunrise, since an eclipse of this kind
is caused by the interposition Of the
moon between the sun and the
earth, and although the beginning
of an eclipse at az given place may
occur at asy hour of the day be-
tween sunrise and sunset, Yet the
point on the earth where the edge
of the moon is first seen encrOach-
ing upon the sun must be sunrise
point
In other words, when the first
contact occurs the sun must be ris-
ing at some point on the circumfer-
ence of the earth, and that point
therefore becomes the place of be
ginning Of the eclipse. To Observ-
ers situated farther and farther
eastward from that place the eclipse
begins later and later in the day,
until at the eastern limit OF the
eclipse area the beginning occurs at
sunset
