Bronze Beaded Cirdle

Many beautiful girdles are seen in the
shops, some Of one kind Of metal or
another, some Of fancy wooden beads,
and some Of the ordinary small beads
in many wonderful colors and combina.
tions Of colora
The braided girdle should not be
especially difficult to copy. Tho color
used would naturally be a matter Of
choice, depending on each individual.
Here are directions for one made Of
bronze. colored beads.
Two spools Of linen thread, twenty
cents each; twenty punches Of beads,
ten cents each, and two wooden knobs,
two cents each. will be needed for the
Rirdle.
Take ten strands Of beads. Braid
five double strands from the outside
toward the inside-take the first strand
on the right hand side, bring It under
the second strand and over the third.
Repeat until the girdle Is the desired
length.
There are fifteen strands Of beads IN
each tassel. The knobs are covered
with the beads, drawing the thread
through the hole in the center Of tho
knob.

eclipse will occur about 4:30 p. m. and
the duration will be about thr.e and one
half minutes.
The chief object of all expeditions will
be to test the Einstein theory of rela-
tivity, which states that light consists of
material particles possessing weight and
is consequently defected from its course
upon passing through the strong gravita-
tional field of the sun.
If light Is thus detected by the action
Of the suns gravitational attraction the
rays of light upon stars in the vicinity of
the sun at time Of eclipse should be bent
from their course and photographs of the
eclipsed sun should show these stars
slightly displaced from the positions in
which they normally appear when the sun
Is not In the field.

to predict the amount of displacement

peditons to Wallal as well as to other
points are supplied with excellent astro-
graphic telescopes and Photographic and
spectroscopic equipment. The eclipse
will occur at 1 80 p. m. at Wallal and its
duration will be five minutes and nine
teen seconds, which will be the longest
for any chosen point of observation
within the path Of the eclipse.
The observatory at Adelaide has
planned to send an expedition under
Director Dodwell to Cordillo Downs on

How the astronomers can foretell this
sickening of the sun they have not the
slightest idea.
1t is reported that the combined Dutch
and German expedition will be joined by
observers from Java and possibly also by
Professor Enstein shortly before the date
of eclipse
In the Maldive islands there will be an
expedition under the direction of Director
Evershed of the Kodaikanal Observatory
of Southern India. The observing sta
ton will be on an inner island of this
group of coral atolls, since the outer reefs
are continually shaken by heavy surf,
scopic and Photographic work. The in.
habitants of these islands are civilized
and are ruled by sultan who pays tri-
butte to Ceylon. They are reputed to be
skilled navigators, who can make and re-
pair astrolabes and quadrants and trans
late astronomical books and TALES.
1t Is believed that the islands will be
a most favorable location for eclipse ex-
petitions, and the chances in favor of
favorable weather are said to be as seven
to one at this time Of year, though heavy
the eclipse occurs at this point at eight
in the morning, local time, and its dura-
ton on the central line is four minutes

At Ninety-mlc Beach, on the western
coast of Australia, where the eclipse track
strikes into the Australian desert, there
is telegraph and telephone station by
the name of Wallal, hundreds of miles
from railroad terminals. To this point
on the central line Of eclipse the common
wealth government has generously offered
to transport eclipse expeditions on a YES

leaving Freemantle the last Of August.
A number Of eclipse parties have taken
advantage of this offer, including the
Crocker eclipse expedition of the Lick OBJ

ure of this mysterious
solor envelope and the nature
Of its light and of the unknown
elements whose lines have been
found in It's spectrum.
Even at the tremendous velocity of
over one thousand miles per hour, at which
the moons shadow passes over the earth,
It will take about three hours and quar-
ter TO pass from point near the eastern
coast Of Africa, where it first touches the
earth's surface, to, point in the Pacific
Ocean north of New Zealand, where it
leaves the earth. 1t will take nearly one
hour and half to pass from the Maldive
Islands to Christmas Island, three-quar-
ters of an hour to pass from Christmas
Island to Wallal, thirty five minutes to
pass from Wallal to Cordillo Downs, and
ten minutes to pass from Cordillo Downs
to Goondiwindi.
If the structure of the corona should
change apprecably in short intervals of
time, as some believe, a comparison of
photographs of the corona taken at wide
ly separated stations, such as the Maldive
Islands and Wallal, might show this
change and possibly also give the clue to
the cause of changes in the form of the
corona.
The skies of India and of the Ind an
Ocean are noted for their remarka ole
clearness. Nowhere on the earth are
more magnificent views of the heavens
to be obtained. Halley's comet, which
was, on the whole, a somewhat disappoint-
ing object as viewed at its last return in
1910 in Europe and the United States,
appeared as a most magnificent object to
those who had the good fortune to view
it from aboard ships crossing the Indian
Ocean, having, as has been reported by
certain observers, tail that was visible
for a distance of over ninety degrees
when it was most favorably placed with
respect to the earth.
For this reason observers at the NAL
dive Islands and at Christmas Island
should obtain some exceptionally fine
views of the solar corona and a number
of excellent plates for testing the Elm
stein effect il weather conditions turn out
to be as favorable as they are predicted
to be at this time of year at both of these
stations.
The chances of fine weather conditions
at stations In Australia are also said to
be excellent and all expeditions are hop
ing for an abundant harvest of photo
graphic plates showing the eclipsed sun
and its surroundings on the eventful day.
