The opinion of many business men that the stage and the screen by no means have a monopoly on girlish beauty is strengthened by recent re- ports of a pulchritude contest in Paris. Chosen queen of beauty in that city, renowned for its beautiful women, was a typist.

A RARE SIGHT FOR ENGLAND

Apropos of the annular eclipse of April 8, 1921, Dr. Crommelin writes in Nature that the occurrence of a cen- tral solar eclipse within the limits of the British Isles is a rare event. There has been no British total solar eclipse since 1724, and the next one will occur in 1927, if we disregard that of January 9, 1925. in which the track of totality merely grazes the Western Hebrides and the eclipse occurs with very low sun. The last annular eclipse before that of the present year was in 1858 and there will not be another until 2093.-Sci- entiftc American.
