The Total Solar Eclipse
OF June 8th 1918
to photograph the middle corona.

" puotoSrdpH tne lmuule corona.
A Photographic camera, with ;
Dallmeyer portrait lens of inche.
aperture and SO inches focal length
used with plates S by z inches, tt
photograph the outer corona.
| The spectroscopic work will be UNI
der the direction of Prof. S. A. Mitch
ell, and will be for the purpose OF
photograhping the flash spectrum
with three different concave gratings,
each used without slit.
In addition, through the coopera-
ton of DR.. S. w. Stratton, Director
of the Bureau of Standards, an at.
tempt will be made to extend our
knowledge of the flash spectrum to
greater wave lengths by photograph
ing with plates stained with dicyanin.
One of the novel features that will
be introduced at this eclipse is the
use of moving picture cameras. It is
hoped some of the films will bring
to light phenomena that have not
been observed before.
The personnel of the party will be:
Astronomer J. S. Hammond, in
charge, and Assistants G. G. Wylie
and W. A. Conrad, of the staff Of the
Naval Observatory; DR.. S. A. Mitch
ell, Director of Leander Mccormick
Observatory, and Prof. L. G. Hoxton,
University Of Virginia.
In addition it is expected that the
following will cooperate with the
Naval Observatory party: DR.. P. WI
Merrill, of the Bureau of Standards;
Or. Harriet Bigelow and Dr. Mary
Murray Hopkins, of Smith College:
Mr. Edward D. Adams and Mr.. Kemp. |

ENGLISH ExTRAvAGANcE
(By Jonathan Bang of The
Vigilantes)

Before the war the most extraya
giant people in the world in the mat
ter OF food were not the American
but the English. The average Eng
llshman had to have his bacon AMI
eggs and jam or marmalade fol
breakfast, good sized luncheon. T.,
hearty tea, a big dinner and not in
frequently a supper before retiring
Even the laboring man had five
meals, not to mention his beer (Which
was really ale, much heavier than oul
beer), which took the place of solid
foods only too often.
but 1t was not in what they con.
sumed that the Englishmen showed
thelr extravaganza. 1t was rather in
what they threw away. English ser.
wants were especially criminal in this
respect. To them the overlooking
garbage pail was badge of gentility
ana source Of pride. To throw
away the overs was evidence of the
rank and Importance of the house in
which they served. The mistress
who would have interfered would
nave done so at the peril of losing her
0omestics.
Evidently the war has brought
about a great change. Chester M.
Wright, formerly managing editor of
the American Alliance for Labor and
Democracy, and who is now visiting
England as member of the Ameri.
can Federation of Labor Mission.

The potato crop is now being made

toes are dug the corn has the ground

manure is put on to cover the ground,
and 1t is we'll worked into the soil.
Here is where I plant my second
crop OF potted strawberry plants.
They are put in the middle two rows
wide, one foot apart. After the corn
has been cultivated five or six times

crop is used to rotate or make new

poultry yard. The chickens will pick
only a few outside ears, and it is good
Tor them. At this time the turnips are
coming on nicely in the clean soi,.
the berry plants are not so thick but
that frequent cultivation keeps them
coming and everything looks fine. By
this time I have sold part of the DO.
tatoes, leaving empty crates in which
they have been stored, and when the
frosty mornings come the turn'ps are
dug and these same crates are used
to store them. Now l have all the
weeds and the old strawberry plants
killed; have harvested a crop of no.
tatoes and a crop of field or sweet
corn, together with crop of turnips
and my berry plants have the field.

strawberry field from which
my potted plants were taken, I take
