.D|SCL0SES HEAT
|. ON MARS SURFACE
Scientist Likens the Average
Temperature to That in
Earth'S Record.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass, November IL
The average temperature on the
surface of Mars, except near the
poles, is not unlike that of a bright
cool day on the surface of the earth
it was diclosed here yesterday at
the annual meeting Of the National
Academy of Sciences. In a paper
read before the meeting embodying
observations made at Flagstaff, Ariz.
last summer, when Mars was nearest
the earth, it was stated that the sur
face temperatures on Mars run from
to Is degrees centigrade, or be-
tween 40 and go degrees Fahrenheit.
Reports on Measurements.
Measurements the results of which
were presented today were made on
"a nights by w. w. Coblentz of the
Bureau of Standards. Washington,
D. c., and c. o. Lampland of the
Lowell Observatory at Flagstaff,
working with a new "thermocouple
radiometer," an instrument capable
of delicate measurements.
The brighter portions of Mars are
cooler than the dark regions, the OBJ
servations showed. Temperatures In
the polar regions fall as low as ap-
proximate minus 70 degrees, cent?
grade-about 94 degrees below zero
Fahrenheit Temperatures of the
dark phase of the sunrise side of the
planet are also very low, probably
reaching, it is said, about minus 81
degrees centigrade.
Greater Variation Shown.
G. X. Burgess of the Bureau OF
Standards, who read the paper, said
that one of the most striking differ
ences between the earth's tempera-
ture and that on Mars was that far
greater variation in temperature oc-

NEW HAVEN, Conn. November
11.-For a few minutes on the morn
ing of January "A next the moon will
get between the earth and the sun
and cut off all the light we get from
that body. This eclipse will be visible
in the United States, and it doubt
less will be seen by more millions Of
people than any such occurrence in
the past, according to Prof E. W.
Brown of Yale University.
An eclipse is not a rare event. Ono
or two occur every year. But the
one next January is notable for the
fact that it occurs in a territory
from which the light of the sun has
not been wholly obscured by the
moon within the memory of any one
living.
"If we look over the records of past
eclipses," Prof. Brown said, "and the
predictions for future eclipses we
soon see that in any one place there
will be a total eclipse of the sun only
once in every few hundred years.
The coming eclipse will produce dark
ness over a narrow band of territory
which stretches from a point some
what west of Duluth, and, after cross
ing northern Michigan and Wiscon-
sin, is seen in Connecticut and then
passes out to sea- The hour of the
phenomenon is between and $3.50,
Eastern standard time"
There was an eclipse in 1919 visible
in Brazil and central west Africa. and
another last September, seen by the
people of California and northern
Mexico.
Can Predict Accurately.
The accuracy with which the time
and position can be predicted for an
eclipse is high, Prof. Brown went on
to say. The staff Of the United States
Naval Observatory at Washington is
always at work calculating the posi-
tions of the heavenly bodies years in
advance in order that the predictions
may be useful. The northern and
southern edges of the shadow band
can be laid down within a mile.
Hence, when the almanac predicts
that the southern edge will cross the
upper end of Central Park in New
York City it is fairly certain that the
shadow will not keep off the grass
All this knowledge, however, is not a
product of the present generation. 1t
has been slowly accumulating through
many centurss. Most Of it is due to
the proof ~ the law of gravitation

Records for Centuries.
But we have to pay our homage
to observers for their industry much
further back than that" the profess
sor continued. More than $500 years
ago the Chaldeans were able to pre-
dict when eclipses would occur, be-
cause they had learned that there is
long series of them repeated in a
little over Is years. 1t is .remarka BILE
that they should have been able to
get this knowledge, because any
eclipse does not cover quite the same
part of the earth's surface as the
corresponding one which occurred 1S
years before. They must have kept
records over at least century, per-
haps over many centuries, before the
cycle was discovered. The eclipse of
next January will be seen by many
millions Of people.

Consideration by the Board of
Education of the activities of the

public schools will be insisted upon
by the boards committee on the
community use of school buildings,
1t was said today by DR.. J. Hayden

Several months ago the board
adopted recommendation of Supt
Frank W. BaIlou to devote a Ger
tain portion of it's time at each
meeting to consideration of the ac-
tivities of various departments of
the school system, it was pointed out
by DR.. johnson. Two of the sub
jects on DR.. Ballou's program already
have been considered, but the COM
munity center department activities
have been sidetracked.
Wants Hearing Speeded.
"The committee and the COM
munity center department want the
hearing to be held as soon as pos
sible, as the department is anxious
to complete it's program of work for
the season" said DR.. Johnson. The
committee will insist on the hearing.
I have held a conference with jaime s
T. Lloyd. president of the board, and
he has promised to put 1t on the

The attendance records of the
Eovejoy Community Center. the ac-
curacy of which was challenged by
Rev. F. I. A. Bennett, member of
the board, at a recent meeting, prob
ably will be discussed at the COM

DR.. Bennett voiced the belief that
the attendance figures, as compiled
by Mrs. r. J. Gray, secretary of the
Lovejoy center. and transmitted to
the board in the annual report of
Mrs. W. L. Hardy, acting director of
the department, had been padded"

was completed recently by Mrs. ce-
Gil Norton Sisson, general director
Of the community center department,
who was on leave of absence during
the last school year, and submitted to
DIR. Ballou. 1t Is understood that the
