the Adelaide observatory, Australia. will locate at D, and one from Sydney, Australia, at K. The parties are thus widely distributed. The chances of clear weather for some of the parties is thus increased. All of these sta tions, unless 1t be the one at E, are
 in very inaccessible places. Those at c will be carried there by vessel of the Australiani navy especially as- signed for the purpose. Those at R require over five weeks of travel by camel train from the nearest rail- way station.
 Why do observers travel to the op- posite side of the earth as several of these parties have to use six min utes or less of time with a chance of total failure because of clouds? There are things which we hope to learn at the time of total eclipses which can not be learned at other times. To- tai eclipses are not common events. and this Is one of unusual length. problems of eclipses. The outstand- ing problem of this eclipse Is the test for the so-called Einstein effect. If Einsteln's theory Is correct, the light from the stars which passes through the suns gravitational field In coming to us will be deflected from a straight line course. The stars near the sun will be displaced from their normal positions. At the edge of the sun. where the displace- ment Is maximum, the amount is only 1.75 seconds. The amount decrea ases rapidly with increasing distance from the sun.
 In figure 8 we show the positions

AUBURN STUDENTS
 NEED MORE ROOM
Dr. DoWeII Asks Residents to Accommodate Students Till
 Dormitories Are Built

Auburn, September 2.-(Special.)- Citizens of Auburn are responding readily to an earnest appeal issued today by Dr. spright Dowell. presi dent, that additional rooms be pro- vided to accommodate 200 more stu- dents than had already been arranged for. Although 39 new residences have been completed in Auburn with in the past year, and number of new homes are now under construc- tion, every available room in the town will be needed to care for the large number of students who will report Monday and Tuesday for the opening of college on Wednesday,.
 Due to the fact that two new boys dormitories, which will accommodate 100 boys each, will be the first struc- lures erected from the funds of tho semi centennial campaign, every ef- fort is being made by the people of Auburn to care for all the students until these buildings can be com pleted. Legal complications regarding the title to the. land will prevent con- struction work before October 1.
 President Dowell expressed grati- fication tonight over the hearty CO., operation he was receiving from the citizens of Auburn and declared that many families were inconveniencing themselves in order that students might be cared for until the dormi- tories were ready.
 Registration of students takes place on Monday and Tuesday and regular classes begin on Wednesday morning. All members of the fac ulty are here for duty.

somewhat hastily and the methods were not wholly satisfactory. The results were said to confirm the theory. This verification depended upon microscopic measurement Of very small quantities. The results are not regarded by many as conclu- sive. Confirmation is needed. This eclipse Is the first since that time to provide satisfactory conditions. The stars are not as well located as in 1919, but the preparations are more thorough and the instruments better suited for the purpose. Some instru- ments have been made especially for this eclipse. Three of the instru- ments used in making the astro- graphic catalogue will be used. Many months will elapse before any re- suits can be announced
 The Moons Path
 The actual path of the moon is exceedingly complicated. If the earth and moon were perfect spheres and no other bodies existed, the moon would move about the earth in a perfect ellipse. We speak of the path as an elilpse as that is the simple curve which most near ly fits the actual path. The at traction of the sun is the greatest factor in disturbing this simple mo- tion. At present the moon moves over the sky In a circular path which crosses the ecliptic in nearly

THE STARRY SKIES IN SEPTEMBER
 By Professer Barton of the University of Penn.yxana

The second and last eclipse of the year, which occurs on September 20. may be considered to be tho most important astronomical event of the year. Total eclipses of the sun are often important. but this one Is un- important for reasons dis cussed later. The only other eclipse of this year was an annular eclipse of the sun on March 27. not visible in the United States. Figure 2 shows the regions in which 1t may be seen. The eclipse will be seen as a total eclipse only within the mar row strip about 150 miles wide. cross ing the Indian ocean and Australia

 Several expeditions of astronomers will observe the eclipse. The ob servatory of southern India will send a party to the Maldive islands at A, figure 2.

The moon comes between us and the sun September 20 and causes the eclipse already described It is evident from Fig. I that the only time that al eclipse could occur is at the time when the sun is near the moon 's node. for In other places the moon s path and the suns path (the eclip- tic) are so far apart that the moon passes the sun without concealing it.

Venus and Jupiter may be seen low in the southwest in the evening twilight Venus Is at its greatest distance east of the sun September 15. Mercury Is at it's greatest distance east of the sun September 20. The distance in each case is unusually large. but the planets are so far south that they set soon after the sun. Not only does the line from the sun to the planets lie near the horizon, but the planets are nearly at their greatest distances south of the ecliptic The position of Uranus Is marked on Fig. 1.

near them we cannot see the stars be- cause of the overwhelming brightness of the sun. 1t is only at the time of the total eclipse of the sun that we can observe the positions of the stars near 1t and detect a displacement if 1t exists and then observations are limited to the brighter stars. A few months before the eclipse photo graphs are made of that part of the sky in which the sun will be at the time of it's eclipse. During the eclipse another photograph of the same re- zion Is made. These photographs are made with the same instrument and under conditions as nearly identical as possible, so as to eliminate any
 causes for displacement beside the one tested. An attempt was made to test the theory in this way at tho time of the eclipse in 1919. At that time the arrangements were made

 the same place as that at which the equator crosses 1t. (See figure.) The point of intersection of the equator moves westward very slowly. This we call the procession of the equi- noxes. The point of intersection of the moons path with the ecliptic (the node) also moves westwars, but far more rapidly. The node moves completely around the ecliptic in l9 years. The node passed the equinox last month. The moons path is now in the position closest to the equa- tor. After nine years it will lie on the opposite side of the ecliptic farthest from the equator. The path will then lie little south of the present position of Mars. It is be- cause Mars is now nearly as far south of the ecliptic as 1t is pos sible for it to be, and the moon, when passing Mars nearly at It's greatest distance north that the bodies are so far apart when they pass August 30 or September 27 Be- cause of this position of the moons path the harvest moon of this month is the least favorable of the 1s-year' period.
