Two Eclipses or The Suu Are
Predicted.

Astronomical events for the year 1922
according TO Prof. Claude Z. Hall. Jr.. Of
the Maryland Academy Of Sciences, will
not include any planetary movements Of
phenomenal character.
There will be two eclipses of the sun,
an annular eclipse on March 9Th, when
the moons shadow is not quite as large
as the sun. and a total eclipse that will
occur September goth. There will be no
eclipses of the moon within the year
There will. however. be several occulta
tons. none Of them very bright. when the
moon will come between the earth and n
star. Among them will be an occultation
of Alpha Tauri, star of first magnitude
the occultation Of which will occur Sen
TENDER 18th. There will be two occplta-
tons Of Lamba Geminorum, star of third
magnitude. that occur January 18th and
May 9th.
The most important event of 1929 will
be the opposition Of the planet Mars
which will mark the closest approach to
the earth hirty-6ve million miles-with.
In the past 80 years.
In the year 1924 Mars will come still
nearer the earth-to within thirty-two mil
lion miles-which will afford astronomers
Of this planet wonderful opportunity to
view the surface Of Mars at relatively close
range.
Encke's comet, that appears every five

and a-half years. is due to appear to the
Inhabitants Of the earth during the pres
ent year. but upon no fixed date.
On Christmas Eve. 1922. Mars and IRA
nus come within seven minutes Of arc OF
each Other. which is uncommonly neiehborly
for these rather unsocial planetary bodies.
1t is noteworthy that astronomical calcu-
lations recently made at the Maryland
Academy Of Sciences Observatory in rela-
ton to the position Of the moon, which is
slightly out of its accumtomed orbit, agree
with those made at the Royal Observatory

Soaking The Farmer Under The
Rsch Railroad Act.

Senators Trammell Dem. Fla.), and
Norris (Rep., Neb), gave some additional
instances Of ex0rbitant railway and ex-
press rates and furnished additional reasons
for an investigation of the railroad situa-
tion generally. Senator Trammell quoting
from letter from a constituent, said:
The account Of sales which was sent to
me by Mr.. A. B, Prevatt, Of Seville Fla,
who signed this letter. shows that at Rich
mOnd, Va, the commission merchant sold
seven crates Of cabbage for $34. approx
imately SIS "A crate, which was a reason
ably good price for those cabbage to have
sold for in the market at Richmond
Charged against that $34 was $22.25
for express; or, in other words. il cost
him $317 per crate upon his cabbage to
ship 1t from Seville. Fla, which is only
about 80 miles below Jacksonville, to Rich
mond. The commission being deducted
S3.4O. left the farmer 1887 for his seven
crates of cabbage. Out of that 1887 he
had to pay the expense Of production. he
had TO pay for the gathering Of the cab
bage. for Grating it and packing it, and
hauling il to the station the consequence
being that the farmer. on account Of the
excessively high rates, did not receive the
cost Of production on the seven crates of
cabbage which sold in Richmond at a
fairly good price, namely. about SIS per
crate. II would have been far better for
Mr.. Prevatt to have let his land stand
idle.
"Unquestionably the farming interest of
this country need relief. The Interstate
Commerce Commission should enter into
a serious investigation of the rates that
are being imposed upon the agricultural
products Of the country. Certainly some
relief should be afforded, not only in the
interest of the producer. but in the interest
Of the consumer.
Il merely desire to bring these deplor-
allie conditions to the attention of the
Senate. hope that they may also be con-
sidered by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission of the Senate in its investigation
Of the existing railroad and express rates.
Senator Norris said:
Il think the Senator's farmer should feel
good about that shipment. He ought to
thank God that he got anything out of it,
after II had been shipped on the railroad
in these times have heard of a man in
Nebraska who shipped carload of corn
a whole carload Of corn-from Verona,
Neb., to Billings. Mont, where they had nc
corn. and he did not get enough for his
carload of corn to pay the freight. He was
in debt to the railroad company 81 cents
when he got through with the operation. So
the Florida man ought to feel glad to think
he got out without owing the express COM
pany something when he got through with
the shipment"
These exorbitant rates are due to the
guarantees of the Esch railroad act. which
President Harding so highly praised as a
great piece Of legislation, The railroads
are the only institutions in the country that
are guaranteed profit

Birth OF The Agricultural Bloc.

1t was the sectional spirit displayed by
the financial and manufacturing interests,
announced by the Chairman Of the Appro-
priations Committee Of the House (Mr.
Madden, Rep, Ill.). that gave birth to the
so-called agricultural bloc"
This was forcibly and effectively stated
by Representative Wingo Dem, Tex), in
a recent speech, when he said
ut will be remembered that our Repub-
lican friends were very much elated when
they took charge under this administration
The real leader the gentleman from ILL.,,
nois (Mr. Madden because the man who
holds the purse strings is really the leader
and gentlemen here will live to see the day
when the man who is chairman Of the
Committee on Appropriations will give
orders to the President and to the Speaker
under your present system Of appropria-
tions-the real leader, the gentleman from
Illinois (Mr. Madden). in his citation an
nounced, before these gentlemen succeeded
in forming an agricultural bloc in an effort
to insist not upon special legislation for
agriculture but for equality Of treatment
and for proper consideration Of the prob
lems that disturb the great agricultural
sections Of the West-the real leader (Mr
Madden) announced with a good deal OF
dictum and with that vehemence that he
can assume at times that for the first time
since the Civil War, believe he said, the
people who paid the taxes, who lived north
Of the Ohio and east Of the Mississippi
were in control of the Government and
that they were going to run it.
Right then and there the agricultural
bloc was formed. because that was notice
that II men who believed in nonpartisan
legislation for the benefit Of the agriculture
interests Of this country did not get together
the only legislation that would be enacted
under this administration would be typi.
cal Republican Legislation. which is class
legislation for the benefit of the great
financial and manufacturing interests OF
the country"
