the Einstein theory &
that frst drew the atten- -
ton Of the scientific world
to this weird, revolutioniaing.
and little q erstoo theory.
II is only during total solar eclipses
that stars In the vicinity Of the sun are
visible, and II then becomes possible to
obtain photographs Of them by means of
the astrographic telescopes, which are de-
signed especially for the purpose Of
photographing the stars, work that is
systematically carried on at number of
observatories For purposes Of compari-
son, it is advisable to have photographs
Of the same field Of stars taken at the
same place several months preceding or
following the rdate Of eclipse
1t is for this reason that members Of
the British eclipse expedition have been
stationed on Christmas Island since the
latter part of March. Comparisons of
the two sets of photographs-one taken
at the time of eclipse with the sun in the
field and the other Six months earlier,
when the sun was in a different portion
of the heavens-should show the predicted
displacement if it exists.
The stars to be used this year in test
ing the Einstein theory are neither as
stars that were close to the sun at the
time of the 1919 eclipse, which was par
ticularly favorable for testing the Elm
stein theory. There is danger that if a
long enough exposure is given to bring
out these faint stars close to the sun the
light of the solor corona, which is i'm
pressed on the Photographic plate at the
same time, will be so strong that it will
mask these stars. Special precautions
will have to be taken to avoid this. Brief
as the moments Of totality will be-about
five minutes at the most-it will be pos
sible to take in this time a large number
of photographs of the field surrounding
the sun with exposures of different length.
At the time of eclipse several brilliant
stars of the first magnitude and four of
the brightest planets should be plainly
visible, though all of these stars and
planets will be too distant from the sun
to be used |, testing the Einstein theory.
Within one degree of the sun shining
probably through the coronal rays will be
the planet Saturn.
A little to the southeast of the sun
Jupiter will shine resplendently, and
few degrees beyond Jupiter the bright
star Spica and the planet Mercury will
be seen almost in conjunction. Venus
also will appear in the southeast during
the suns eclipse and will be nearly in
line with Jupiter, Spica, Mercury and the
sun. In the northeast will appear the
brilliant first magnitude star Arcturus,
and in the northwest Regulus in Leo.
In addition to the numerous photo
graphs that astronomers are planning to
obtain of the field of stars surrounding the
sun with astrographic telescopes for test
ing the Einstein theory, there will also be
photographs and spectrographic pictures

GAME WARDENs LOCATED
 STILL IN WATERFORD

While looking for the man who fired shot at a deer in Waterford, Deputy Game Wardens Lewis Ross and F. D. Tice found a still on what was once the old Waterford town farm near the Golden Spur.
 MT. Tice saw a deer cross the road in that vicinity early Tuesday morning and few moments later he heard a shot. He decided that someone had taken shot at the deer, and, accompanied by Mfr Ross started on a tour of investigation. As they approached the home of Nicholas Homan, the latter when he spied the Of- fcers hastily closed the front door. This made the officers suspicion and they de- manded and gained an entrance to the house.
 Instead of finding the carcass of a deer they found Q still in operation. They asked HomAn regarding the shot which they had heard and he told them that he had shot a crow. They didn't find the crow, but they thought there was per- haps some "Old Crow or it's suceezsAr, but not being vested with authof4fy to make arrests for operating stills during the closed season, they tried to reach Federal Enforcement Officer Juseph E. Fitzpatrick of New London.
 Officer Fitzpatrick could not be located and Deputy Sheriff J. H. Tubbs was noti- fled Deputy Tubbs with Constable Charles R. Tubbs and William Follows went out to Waterford and connscated the still and brought it into New London. They did not arrest Homan but 1t is said he will later appear before a justice in connection with the operation of the still.
