short time when they are visible that
it is difficult to observe them proper
" and still more difficult to make
good measurements of their width or
of their distance apart.
The measurements most required
are their direction (from the north)
their distance apart, their breadth
and the rapidity of their motion.
These can be obtained by laying a
sheet on the ground and holding a
stick in each hand ready to lay
down on consecutive bands as they
pass, estimating their breadth as you
do so and counting the number that
pass in say, five seconds.
Another method is to obtain a piece
of beaver board about five feet
square covered with white paper and
divided into three sections marked
with three sets of dark bands. Well
watered ink put on with brush will
serve for these bands. The bands
should be about three inches broad !;
the upper set, say twelve inches apart
the next, ten inches, and the third,
eight inches, as shown in the dia-
gram.
AS soon as the shadow bands ap
pear, twist this board around so that
the shadow bands are parallel to the
dark bands on the board. Then note
which of the three sets of bands
painted on the board gives the great
est changes of light and darkness as
the shadow bands pass. The width OF
the shadow bands can be estimated
at the same time.

And the rear is built some differ

chain,
Well, it is a real rip-snorter,
Takes you where you wish to go;
Through the cold and stormy weather
1t will plow right through the snow
1t is started by a throttle
And you stop it with a brake.
It's Ford put up on runners,
And it's called the Ford Snow Snake
And it has a real small motor full of
pep and gasoline.

EVIDENTLY A LARGE EVENING


The following letter from one of
our Madison readers goes to show
that Oscar Star was not the only
person who witnessed some strange
and unusual disturbances of the So
lar system and planets due no doub
to the action of the Moon, on Sat-
friday night, January 10.

Eagle River, Review,
Eagle River, Wisconsin
Dear Verne:
In your Review of January Is,
noticed a letter of Oscar Stars in
which he claims to have seen two
moons which, in period of about
five minutes, merged into one.
thought Oscar would like to have
somebody back him up in his state
ment, hence this honest mans testi-
mony.
In this case, however, it was not
moon. On the night of January 10
this man was coming home from a
late party and he met four lamp
posts on one corner. Thinking that
it was funny that SO many should
be put in one place, he sat there for
about eight hours before they finally
merged into two.
All of which goes to show that any
thing can happen on Saturday night

GOOD WEATHER FOR LoeeERs


January has been very favorabl
month for all loggers and all other
who wished to dispose of their timbe
products as the early. fall of SNOW
made excellent sleighing with nc
stormy weather to interfere with haul
ing. A vast amount of pulpwood and
paper mill timber is hauled in to town
every day by farmers for shipment b.
rail. The G. F. Sanborn Company are
dealing heavily in all forest products
and many farmers are taking advan
tage of the opportunity, offered to
keep themselves and teams busy and
clear their land of timber for which
they receive good returns

Watch the Shadow Bands

In sending in the results give ~
the observing method used, (2) the
direction of the shadow bands, CD
the distance apart, (4) the width, 60
the approximate length of time dur
ing which the bands were visible, (6)
the number of seconds before or after
totally that they became visible, CD
the number of the shadow bands that
crossed fixed mark on your sheet
in five seconds, and (S) whether the
shadow bands were wavy or straight
For the fourth possible observa-
ton, the diffused light of the sky dur
ing totally, a rough method is to
give the size of print which can be
read. What buildings can be seen as
compared with those visible in the
light of the full moon? Or you can
use a Watkins or Wynne exposure
meter, exposing strips of sensitive
paper, for say, ten seconds, twenty
seconds, thirty seconds and forty Sec
onds during totality and later anoth
e1' strip for similar periods in moon
light when the moon is full A similar
method can be used with an ordinary
Photographic plate exposed during
the eclipse and afterwards to moon
light, the two being developed togeth-
sr later on.
The light intensity of the corona
can be estimated similarly from
photographs taken with an ordinary
camera. Several exposures of differ
snt length, ranging from half sec
ond to five seconds, can be taken on
the same plate by moving the camera
slightly between exposures. A plate
from the same box should be exposed
the same camera for similar per-
iods to the full moon, the two being
developed together.

GRANGE MUST PASS
EXAM TO BE ELIGIBLE

Red Grange is doing more than car
ing. And while he studies all of Illi-
nois' loyal sons are looking to the fu-
ture with fingers crossed, with appre-
hensive eyes
For before Red can play foot bail
for the Orange and Blue next Fall he
must pass a special examination.
He was sufficiently careless in the
Spring term TO slip up in three-hour
course. To be fair. il was not alto
gether carelessness AT the beginning
with the mumps, aud this gave him a
bad start on his work.
Probably not in the history of inter
collegiate athletics has the result of a
scholastic test been attended by sig
nificance so great.
Aside from Reds value to his eleven
he is a drawing card such as never be
fore existed in college foot ball. When
IIlini comes TO Franklin Field TO play
Pennsylvania fully half of those who
are present will have been drawn by a
desire to see the great Grange. and
every one who is now looking forward
to the game will feel he-or She-haS 5
been deprived of a great opportunity
of being thrilled if he is not in the
lineup.
But every one close to the situation
feels that Grange will meet this schol-
astiC test with the gallantry, precision
and general proficiency that have
marked him on the field OF play.
1t is not the first time he has been
in this plight AS a freshman he drew
an e which he made up during the
Summer, and that Summer he was
carrying ice, too. So there would
seem to be no incompatilibity between
the ice tongs and thes students lamp.

chance to equal or better the record.
Nevertheless, wet as l was, l would
not have continued. had it not been
for two facts.
Before starting out I had made a
bet with Jimmy Farrell that I would
play the course in rs or better: also,
Costello and ]. as partners. had bets
up with Farrell and my brother on
the best ball.
Jimmy wouldn't concede that l
would get my 75, nor could Costello
and 1 persuade him and Phil that
we had them beaten in the foursome.
BY the time the first nine was end
ed rain was pouring down. I guess
Jimmy Farrell had strong hopes that
the deluge would disconcert me.
However, l didn't let up. When
we had finished the fifteenth hole /
was under As. Six brides, with
an eagle on the par fourth hole,
the hardest layout on the course, had
given me a total of So strokes. And
maybe you don't believe that I had
to hole every putt, too, with Jimmy
and Phil clinging like leeches to the
hope that they'd win their bets.
Par for the last three holes is
3-5-4, so that ] only needed to play
par to set a new record. But after
the fifteenth Costello and ! had our
match won, 4 and 8, while even Phil
admitted that I was bound to do the
round in 75, with 20 strokes left for
three holes.
"I1l concede you can do it, Joe" !"
he said.
l was now tempted to play through
in an attempt to beat the record.
But Costello took hand.

of four. But then came the Brook
