SKY Phenomena
TOMORROW NIGHT
Moon and Bright Star in
Close Proximity in
fE'a:s;s Southwest. 3ta

DR.. Daniel w! MOlYhouse of Drake
University, well known astronomer
has announced that tomorrow evening
at approximately G:3O o'clock, the new
moon and the bright star Spica (Alpha
lVeginis) will be very close together in
the southwestern sky. The moon will
be about two and one-half days old.
forming a beautiful crescent. This,
together with the brightness Of the
star Spica will attract the attention
OF thousands of observers" DR.. More
house says.
'The- moon in its eastern motion
among the stars will pass between the
star Spica and the earth and com
pletedly hide the former from view.
At 7.o'clock the moon will he right
over the star. About Z 80 the star will
be seen at the western edge of the
crescent.
"If it is clear any man will be re-
paid to watch for this phenomena. 1t
is not altogether an unusual occur
renee, but it seldom happens at so fav-
Orable time for observation, especial
ly in the case of as bright star as
Spica Anyone who is interested would
be well repaid to look up the history
Of the constellation Virgo. the sixth
constellation in the famous ZOdiacal
group. The history of this constella-
ton is as old as mankind 1t is sup
posed to represent a virgin holding a
spike of wheat in her hand, the bright
star Spica marking the head OF wheat.
The sun is always found in this con-
stcllation in the fall, which mdOubtcd-
ly has given Interpretation to its
mythology"

How to Use Farm Movies.

The motion picture is a time saver
Suppose county agent is showing a
group of farmers how to construct a
wooden Silo-with the motion picture
outfit he can show them in II minutes
what it would take him days to show
by actual demonstration. SupDbse a
home demonstration agent wishes to
show a model kitchen in Massachusetts
to a group of farm women in Nebraska.
A trip from the Great Plains 70 the
North Atlantic is not necessary. Tie
thing can be done in few minutes
with the motion-picture protector and
a reel Of films.
The United States Department of .ig-
riculture is using the motion picture in
Il great many ways. Films already
made cover 112 agricultural subjects.
There are AGO reels, or more than AGO.
600 feet Of film available for distribu-
ton. All of this film is in circulation,
most of it constantly. During the past
II months more than 100000 persons
saw one or more of these films.
Persons desiring to use any Of these
films can borrow them if they comply
with some necessary regulations. APP
plicatiOnS can be made through the
county agent. the director Of extension
of State agricultural colleges, or any
other officially cooperating agency. The
borrower does not have to pay any
thing for the use Of the film except the
cost OF transportation.
The whole matter is explained in de-
tail in Department Circular ia, which
has just been printed and copies of
which may be had free. This circular
gives a list of all the motion picture
reels: it explains in detail the borrow
ing process: it outlines the procedure
for those who would rather buy than
borrow: it tells how to select a pro
jectOr and sets forth the advantages Of
the various kinds: it discusses lights
and screens. and it gives definitions of
words that motion picture users should
know.
