Upsalas SNedcn, March %. -, In Sweden ski running is at least IA centuries old and probably dates back to prehistoric times, according to Prof. Otto von l'riesen of the University of UpSala. A runestonc at Boeksta, not far from here, shows a picture Of a ski runner and it is probable that long before they knew how 10 write runes the SwedCs learned the art of skiing from the nomadic Lapps and Films. Prof. I'ricsen says that in inc sixth cen .tury southern European writers de- Scribcd hunters in Sweden who were able to glide through the for csts at high speed. The runestone, which dates from the middle of the eleventh century, proves that ski running was then common in Sweden.

RADIO TRAVELS BY ' DUAL PATH IN SKY
Scientific American Makes Re-
 ports Of Eclipse

New York, March 20.-Thc theory that radio travels by q dual path on the ground and in the sky was cor roborated by the study of the eclipse Of the sun, says the Scientific Amer ican in its current issue. Other re- were proof that shadow bands are caused by streaks of irregular den- sty in the air. and indications that the moon is a little smaller or the sun a little larger than previously supposed, or both. according 10 the magazine.
 Reports from thousands Of anna teurs showed that in radio transmits sion, when the listener and transmit ter wore on the same side of the shadow there was gradual increase in signal strength during totality, but when they were on opposite sides of the shadow there was a decrease in signal strength. and that when they were both within the shadow thcre was relatively sharp increase, practically coincidcnt with totality, at the transmitting sattion. he article continued.
 These results were taken by the magazine to prove inc dual path theory of radio transmission. with lhe direct path, or ground wave nath' along the surface of tho ground or water while the upper wave path" believed to be followed by part of the radiation, is thought | the upper part Of the earth's atmos- phere. and is bent around the earth l by ihe righ. combination or electric |
