ECLIPSES OF THE SUN
ANNULAR ECLIPSES MORE NUMEROUS
BY Garrett p. Serviss-

II you fixed II in position horizon
tally, its hour hand would always
point to the sun. This would on
able you. by means Of the circle
Of figures on the dial. to tell when
the sun had completed a circle
around the sky; in other words.
when twenty-four hours had
elapsed. or course an ordinary
watch would also tell you the
progress OF the hours. But with
out the aid of your watch, or some
fixed artificial or natural mark on
to tell, without elaborate observa-
tions and calculations, when the
sun had completed a circle, or
TO measure time at all.
A curious fact is, that X you
drew a horizontal line across the
pole in any direction whatever,
II would be a meridian line, 1. e.,
north-and-south line. Moreover,
both ends OF II would point to.
ward the south. though extending
in exactly opposite directions.
II on approaching the pole you
kept the direction of a certain
meridian. say that Of 80 degrees,
which runs through the center of
the United States, then on reach
ing the pole you could mark that
direction on the ground (suppos.
ing you had solid. unmovable
ground under ySG), and when the
sun was over the mark you would
know that II was noon in the mid
die of the United States.
Starting with such a basis. you
could sketch out a large dial
around the pole. which would
serve to distinguish the meridians
OF different known places on The
earth, and so you would know
when you were facing toward
those places. II you did not ,,on.
trive some way of distinguishing
the meridisns, you would be more
completely lost as to direction
when standing on the North Pole
in perpetual daylight, than in the
deepest woods on the darkest
night. You would have only one
direction to choose, and yet that
might carry you to the opposite
side of the globe from where you
wanted to go!
From the spring equinox TO the
summer solstice, the sun slowly
rises higher In the polar sky, and
from she solstice to the autumn
equinox, 1t correspondingly sinks
back again. Owing to atmospheric
refraction, II comes up above the
southern horizon some days before
the spring equinox and sinks be-
low II some days after the autumn
months, thus lengthening the
polar day considerably beyond six
months. From the autumn equinox
around to the spring equinox,
perpetual night prevails at the
pole Except a shortened by re.
fraction and very long twilight)
and II you were at the pole during
its long night, you would have

Noted Astronomer and Writer on
Subjects OF Scientific Interest.

CORRESPONDENT in West
"A Orange asks two interesting
L Aquestions, which are present
ed. with answers, below:
I'm a,total eclipse OF the sun the
moon seems to cover the entire
face of the sun, as viewed from
he earth. The cone-shaped shadow
ieaching the earth is much dimin-
in size, but the point Of the
cone would pass a considerable
distance beyond the earth did not
the eartn interpose. Suppose the
earth were placed beyond this
point so the shadow could not
reach the earth, would this eclipse
be apparent to us, only covering
less surface Of the sun"
Yes, and such eclipses not only
actually occur, but they are more
numerous than the total ones.
They are called "annular eclipses,"
because the uncovered part Of the
sun looks like a ring Of light sur
rounding the black lunar globe.
Annular eclipses are more nuiner-
Gus than total ones for the reason
that the average length OF the
moons shadow Is slightly less than
the average distance between tho
moon and the earth. II both were
not variable we should never see
any total eclipses of the sun-all
would be annular, or only partial.
The average length of the moons
shadow when 1t - between the
earth and the sun is 232,150 miles,
while the average distance oe-
tween the moon and the earth's
surface Is 234, 800 miles,
In the most favorable circum-
stances the moon may be within
about 217, 800 miles OF the earth's
surface at a time when its shadow
Is 236,000 miles long. In such
case its point would extend 1S,400
miles beyond the nearest surface
of the earth, and the shadow cone
would be about 1853 miles in diam
eter where 1t touched the earth at
right angles. On the other hand,
the point of the moons shadow
may fall over 10000 miles short Of
the earth's surface. Annular
eclipses possess less interest than
total ones because, on account OF
the glare of the ring Of sunlight
surrounding the moon, the COM
paratively faint phenomena Of the
solar corona are invisible. The
changing, though characteristic,
features Of the corona form an
index to the physical condition and
activity of the sun. =
II you stood on the North Pole
any time between the 21st Of
March and the 22d of September
(the, equinoxes), you would see the
sun circling around the sky once
every twenty.four hours from left to
right, l. e.. In the direction which
we call from east to west. II your
watch had a twenty four hour dial,
and was geared so that the hour

Skirts for
Sports
By Rita Stuyvesant.

this season more than ever we find
all sorts Of materials made up into
sports skirts. The models are so
simple to make that almost any.
one could make a skirt at home In
a short time.
The figured baronet satins are
really exquisite this season, and are
offered forty inches wide. Only a
yard and half is necessary, II one
uses the width of the material for
the length Of the skirt.
A wrap-around model is, perhaps,
the simplest of all to attempt. and
looks so smart when finished. Turn
a deep hem and baste II. Next
turn about an inch hem at the top,
and this Is to run an elastic
through later. Now turn about an
inch and a half fold at the side, and
wrap this over the other end. Stitch
the skirt and run an elastic through
the top hem. Fasten the elastic
on either side of the fold and fin
ish with three buttons near the bot
tom.
This skirt may also be made in
white flannel, tweed, eponge, ra-
tine, either plain or striped or
blocked.
Instead Of hem at the bottom
you may fringe it several inches
deep, and this gives a smart effect.
Accordion pleated or knife pleat-
ed skirts are lovely made up In
crepe. The hem should be stitched
and the pleating done at any shop.

The two.piece skirt still retains
favor perhaps because It fits SO
well and eliminates all bulk around
the hips. A few gathers are used
at the back, but the front is per-
fectly smooth. Slit pockets finish
ed with embroidered arrows are
smart. The tailor will put these in
for you IL you do not feel COM
petent to attempt them yourself.

make an excellent sport skirt to ac-

work in the county for the five-year
period from October /, 1917 to Octo-

time that the average farmer has at
his disposal for the reading of re-
ports and. lengthy printed matter, the
County Agent has made this report
purely pictorial with the necessary
captions. Nearly 100 pictures are
used. A farmer can take up this re-
port and in period of fifteen minutes
have a general conception of the work
that has been conducted in the county
during the past five years. 1t will be

copy will be mailed to every farmer
