see the star displaced from the true po-
sition in which it is seen in the sky

Usually the overpowering brightness OF
the sun renders the stars near it invisible,
but during a solar eclipse when the disc
is hidden for short time by the dark
ball of the moon, the stars in its vicinity
can be photographed and if there is any
displacement it can be detected.
Measures of photographs taken during
the eclipse of June s, 1918, showed no
displacement, but the results are not en-
tirely conclusive, because the stars on

The Seminole limited is a very satisfac-

enjoyable. Incidentally in passing through
the rich bottom lands of Village Creek
between Thomas furnace and Pratt Citg

famous Kankakee bottom lands in Tllinoi5.
On our train was Senator Tubb. former

have been elected state senator from
his county.
At Haleyville I invested in a basket
of lucious peaches, the like of which l

which have excited the admiration ano
fellow travellers from sundry states, and
in sharing them we never failed to call
attention to the fact that they were Ala

Are you sure you are2
When he had sOlemnly treasured
her with a second affirmative she
confided 10 him that her name was
Daphne and that when she saw him
and his party coming towards the

he was the prince.

summit Of that peak. perhaps IS miles
away, you experience as much change
OF climate and scenery and pass
through as many different zones Of
life as you would in travelling from
Southern Sonora to the region Of

This is due to the fact that altitude
has the same effect on climate as
latitude II you climb five hundred
feet upward. you have achieved the
same change Of climate as though
you had gone two degrees north The
result is that a mountain top in Ari-
IONA twelve thousand feet above sea
level, has a climate like that at the
edge Of the Arctic Circle Moreover,
many OF the same plants and some
OF the same birds that live in the sub

Leaving this region in the morning
by noon you find yourself on the

through a beautiful open forest OF

abound, and you may glimpse deel
