The Lubbock avalanche. (Lubbock, Tex.) 1909-1922, 1922-04-14

On September 81 there win be a
total eclipse Of the sun, TO which
the Astronomers Of the world Are
looking forward with intense in
terest. lNHst
Everyone knows, of course, that
an eclipse results from the intru-
MON Of the moon between the sun
and the earth, which cuts off the
light of the sun. II is an inter-
csting and important coincidence
that, although the diameter Of the
sun is about four hundred times as
large as that of the moon, the sun
Is also about four hundred times as
far away as the moon--sometimes a
little more, sometimes a little less.
The optical result is that the sun
and the moon appear to be OF about
the came size in the sky. Since the
orbits Of the earth and the moon
are not circles but eclipses, the dis
lance from us to the moon and TO
the sun varies. When the moon is
near us il appears larger-not TO
the naked eye, but TO the instru-
ments Of astronomers. It's disk ~
then a little larger than that of the
sun, and if it happens to get exactly
between the sun and us It cuts off
completely the light of the sun and
NO causes total eclipse. II the in
trusion takes place when the moon
is farther away, its disk appears
smaller than that of the sun, and
causes the "annular" eclipse; that is
one in which ring of sunlight
surrounds the disk of the moon.

WHAT OTHERS SAY AND
HOW THEY SAY 1T

Itasca Item: The loose morals Of
the modern young person of today
usually can be traced to the loose
management of the modern home Of
today. This is not only found in the
home where there is lack of love,
but too often il is the case of lack
Of Judgment in regard TO love. Every
boy and girl needs the proper train
ing and coaching before they are
fit to meet the problems Of life and
the home is the place Of all places
for such training; without it we
have what we have today-especial-
" in the larger places--a huge crop
Of chickens" "flappers" and Jelly
beans" Unless public opinion or
something can awaken parents 10
the fact that with them alone rests
the responsibility Of the degeneracy
of the human race and something
done, in another hundred years the
monkey will resent Darwin's evo-
lutionary theory more than we do
today.

September 2lst, Astronomers Say Will
Bring About An Interesting Eclipse Of
The Sun-Watch For 1t On That Date

Mathematical astronomers have so
long and so closely studied the mo-
ton Of the moon and Of the SUN
or rather the motion OF the earth
round the sun,4--that they can pre-
diet eclipses with extraordinary ac-
curacy. They can tell us the width
OF the zone OF totality. which on
the average is about one hundred
and fifty miles; the precise second
OF time at which an eclipse will be-
gin and end at any given place /;
and how many seconds the totality
will last. No total eclipse can last
more than eight minutes. Some
eclipses last hardly more than three
minutes. The shadow Of the moon
sweeps along its path with the
frightful felocity OF something IKE
thousand miles an hour.
Astronomers have learned many
other curious things about eclipses,
as for example that, IL there has
been an eclipse on a particular day,
there will be another eighteen years
and eleven days later. II may not
be total and II will not be in the
same place, but it will be an eclipse.
Another remarkable fact is that an
eclipse of a particular kind repeats
itself five hundred and twenty-one
years later on the same day of the
month.
Everyone who has seen total
eclipse Of the sun recognizes II az
one of the most impressive and
awe-inspiring spectacles that can be
conceived. No wonder then, that

to the superstitions and unlearned
peoples Of ancient times an eclipse

had been frequent occurrence, the
fear might have worn off, but on
the average more than three CEN
turtles and half elapses between
two opportunities TO see an eclipse
at the same place. The interval Is
often much longer. There was an
eclipse visible in London in l7i5,
but there had been no other eclipse
visible there for more than six
hundred years, and there has been
none since.--The Youths Compan-
