LIQUOR VALUED AT
 $I5O,OOO IS SEIZED State Police Make Great Haul on Farm Near
 Danbury Today

Danbury, Conn, Jan. 24.--In one of the greatest liquor raids ever made in Connecticut squad of state policemen, directed by Sergeant John Kelly, of the Ridgefield barracks, seized whiskey of an estimated value of S150.0O0 late last night, upon a farm in Beaver Brook dis trict, on the outskirts of this city.
 Isiah E. Linnell, on whose place the liquor was found, was brought to police headquarters in this city by state officers at o'clock this morn- ing to subject to lengthy question: Ing,
 The liquor seized included 159 barrels and BPS cases of whiskey. About 500 empty barrels and many empty bottles were discovered by the raiders. It is supposed that the place was the headquarters of q whiskey gang extensively engaged In buying. cutting" and bottling contraband liquor for distribution throughout the state.
 Aacheckup of the seized liquor to- day shows that 1t amounts to 35.G36 quarts. The building from which it was taken was apparently an im- mense poultry house, 140 feet in length and 40 feet in width. It was found to contain two heating fur naces of the pipcless type and q complete bottling plant.
 In the city court today the hear ing in the case of Lihncll was con- tinued until ne Saturday, the man was r, 4sed in $2,OOO bail. Mean while an analysis of the liquor will be made.

Scientists at Niagara Falls were not wholly disappointed despite the clouds. A rift just before totality enabled thousands to See radiant tints on the frozen cataract and e7 photographs were taken by CleYo-s land astronomers.
 President Coolidge witnessed the partial eclipse on the lawn of the, White House looking through q blackened window pane which he carried.
 Scientific observations were characterized as the most success full ever made by Dr. F. E. Free, who headed a party at Easthampton, Long Island.
 The weather bureau at Cornell noted drop of 1.3 degrees in the temperature.
 Shadow bands were noted at Yale one minute before and one minute after totallty. Jupiter. Mercury and Venus Were clear at Yale but no comet was seen.

ANIMALS IN PANIC

Norwalk Police Chief Permits Lone Occupant of Cell 10 Go Out and Look At Phenomenon -- AIpena, Mich, Reports Darkness.
By The Associated Pross.

By The Associated Press.
 New York, Jan. 24.--Dotr in the open at the Bronx zoo tumbled over one another in terror during the darkness of the eclipse. The great Arctic owl hootcd and flew about. The heavyweight alligator beloved as at night.
 Monkeys Were Quiet The chattering monkeys were awed and quiet for the first time in the history of the zoo. Songbirds from all parts of the world dipped their heads under their wings and slept.
 Elephants, lions, tigers, kanga- rcos, antelopes and giraffes, were blase and una1tected-possibly be- cause these tropical animals were cagcd indoors, out of the cold. Birds of paradise, which usually display their plumage but once every week, strutted about like chorus girls in a Broadway revue for an admiring audience that gath cred after the sun returned.
 The most marked effect was ir the monkey house where the usual ly irrcpressible funny fellows, somt of whom can be heard at any h0ll Of the night, were effectively coWe( by the whip of the dark.
 Rugged Each Other
 Before the phenomena began they were at it with their usual gIoe. The orang was banging his chains, the chimpan2ee was leading the scrcoch- 1 irg symphony. During totality they were too scared even to whimper but huGged each other in awed groups as if expecting the end Of the monkey world. They came to life very slowly and wore not shouting at full volume until nearly an hour 1 later.
 The great Arctic owl, immohilo and white as 2 marble figure during the day. awoke, hooted and Tapped about during the darkness but with an evident impression tUuG d.. aas not what it sccmedg
 1 Song Birds Sleep
 Songhirds, only gai)y started on their carols to the day, became quiet and drifted off to sleep when l the curtain of light went down. As | the sun came back the usual orchcs- ] trations at dawn were repeated. h. tormittent peeps gradually became solos, but it was 40 minutes after totality before the opera was re- 1 sumcd.
 Roy l.. Ditmars. curator of man. mals and reptiles, said that G,0oC people visited the grounds of the zoo to watch the eclipse and that most Of these fingered to watch thu effect upon the animals after tho second sunrise of the day.

K. C. A. Announces Results Of Experiments With Wave Lengths-Observ- atiOns in Waterbury Show Signals Faded Out As Eclipse Became Total and Direction Changed.

New York, Jan. 24.---E'rom tests made of the behavior of the ether of the air during the total eclipse today, officials of the Radio Cor poration of America deducted that a short wave length follows the sun, that static is not entirely a local con- dition because it was affected by general conditions and that a long wave, irregular before the eclipse, became noticoably regular during totality.
 Short waves of 75-mctors and long waves of SS0 meters, sent out from WGY at Schenectady, were picked up at the Bronx laboratory. Dr. A. N. Goldsmith, chief broadcast en- gineer in charge said:
 '"The short wave could not be heard until just before sunrise when 1t came faintly. As the sun appear. ed the waves grew stronger. As the short wave lengths increased the static increased. During the totality the short wave was plotted out and conditions were exactly the same as before the sun rose. When the eclipse ceased the short waves and static returned as the sun appeared.
 "The long 3S0-meter waves were irregular before the eclipse but be. came noticeably regular during total. ity. As the sun began to shine agair the irregulartty increased and tho static returned"

Even Electrical Conditions.

Electrical conditions were more oven than 1t night because they were controlled by one focal point the sun in eclipse-rather than by all points of the horizon. Dr. Gold smith added. He described them as generally favorable, halfway be- tween the best day and the worst night"
 The tests were registered with a device known as fading recorder which automatically noted the changing conditions on paper.
