QUERY FROM BREADLOAF
Mr.. Hubbard, Former Editor on The
Youths Companion, Raises Odd
Problem

Dear Sir; | am writing to you IN the
hope that some of your readers and
especially some Of the summer school
students. VIII help me to solve d prob
lem which has for a long time greatly
interested me. 1t ], in regard to the
circles of light which are to be found
in the shadows Of trees and bushes cast
upon the ground during sunshine
Anyone carefully studying these ,ha-
dows will see any number of these
light circles forming and disappearing
as the wind moved the leaves These
light circles are exact representations
Of the sun surface | say this unhes-
itatingly, for l have several times
watched the progress Of an eclipse by
looking at these circles They show
distinctly the shadow on the suns
surface.
The thing that Interests me now is
what is the relation Of the hght-circle
to the leaves. The circles under an
elm may be more than an inch in di-
ameter, while those under rose bush
may be a small fraction Of an inch.
Evidently the size of the circle de-
ponds upon the size of the leaves,
through which the ray Of sunlight
passes l should be very glad if some
one could show by careful measure
ments Of leaves and circles what the
relationship is.

One suggestion was made that it
might be well to ask Henry Ford to

The principal branches affected are
