Nathan Hale Stamp for
 Revolution Anniversary
BY GEORGE n. MANNING,


 (Washington Bureau of N. B. Heraldl Washington, D. O.. Jan 22.-A special stamp eommemorating the life and martyrdom of Nathan Hale, Connecticut Revolutionary hero, may be Issued by the post office depart ment as part of the celebration Of the 150th anniversary of the Revo- 'utionary War.
 The special issue first was suggest ed by George seymore. New Haven historian. and the plan was conveyed to the post office department today by. Representative Schuyler Merritt of Stamford.
 The issue suggested would bear a reproduction of the Nathan Hale stasue on the Yale clolege campus against solid color background. and it was hoped that 1t could be substituted temporarily for the regu- lar one cent stamp In order to give 1t wider circulation than would be possible otherwise.
 Warren I, Glover. third assistant postmaster general. who has charge of special stamp issues, expressed himself as being fayorably impressed with the suggestion, but declared that 1t would have to be made a spe- cial issue, as Benjamin Franklin could not be taken off the one cent stamps as he was the first postmas- ter general and father of the postal system.

THEORY
 MAY BE AIDED Captain See Discusses the Con-
 ing Eclipse
ny rhe A...ot.cla.ad rre...


 San Francisco, Jan. 22. Aid in extending the theory of the aether Is expected to come from obserya- tions of the solar eclipse Saturday. although 1t seems doubtful whether new light will be thrown on the Einstein theory of relativity, said Captain T, J. J. See. professor 5of mathematics in the United States navy and government astronomer at Mare Island, Cal, in statement to- day.
 Tt is believed now that all forces, etc, come from waves. disturbances in the aether," he said,
 Findings of radio investigators and certain magnetic observations in connection with the eclipse. would aid that study Captain See said, calling 1t really the most important research in contemporary physics"
 Some interest will attach to the Einstein theory, which has not been satisfactorily confirmed and is still in dispute among the leading men of science" he said.
 The corona visible during the to- tai eclipse as silvery light about the sun shows bright polar rays curving around towards the equator. These lines are due to the intense magnetism of the sun. which is about so times more powerful than the magnetism of the earth. It is expected that some new information will be obtained relative 10 the sun's magnetism. and that astronomers who note the times of contact care fully will aid Professor F. W. Brown of Yale university and others In im- proving the gravitational theory of the moons motion, which is subject to the fluctuations discovered by Newcomb in 1909. These trouble some fluctuations of the moons mo- ton are believed to be due to the suns gravitation having to act through the solid mass of the earth at the time of eclipses."
 Persons living along the edge of the shadow can do a useful scien. tlflc service by noting whether any part of the sun is left uncovered at the moment of greatest darkness. If 50, they are slightly off the line. It is real triumph of astronomical and mathematical skill that the track of solar eclipse can be pre- dicted, but Improvements can be made if the exact limits can be cor rected by observation to less than a mile.
 Such reports could be made to local papers. which in turn could send them to the Scientific American in New York, which is to collect such information for the American Astronomical society"

Appeals Court Reverses
 Immoral Drama Decision

Albany, N r., Jan. 22.-Conviction of the producer of the play God Of Vengeance" and eleven actors who took part in the production last year on a charge of violating the law against immoral drama, was reversed yesterday by the court of appeals, and a new trial of the indictment against the producer and players was ordered. Production of the play in English for the first time in De- cember, 1922. resulted in police &C., ton against the theater and subse- duent indictment of Harry Weinber- ger, the producer, and the eleven ac- tors by grand jury. Weinberger and Rudolph schiidkraut, leading man, were fined $200 each. but the others were given suspended sent ences. Witnesses called by the court of appeals were unable to recall the exact lines in the play alleged to be immoral. ~

HERE'S BEST WAY ID SEE ECLIPSE Observer Gives Directions Tor
 General Use

Syracuse, N. r.. Jan. 22.--How to spare the eyes in watching ' the eclipse of the sun Saturday. rescry- ing direct observation for the brief period of totality or nearest ap- proach to totality. is suggested by Major Edmund T, sandars, O, B. E., of London. England, who, with, Mrs. Sandars, is visiting ID this city.
 Major sandars advised that Q card be punctured with pin or needle and thls card be held above a piece of white paper, so the image of the sun will be thrown through the miniature hole in the card and show upon the piece of paper. In this way the progress of the eclipse Smay be Matched easily, saving the strain on eyes and neck until near the time of totality, when 1t Is desirable to look at the sun.
 Major Sandars also cautioned against looking at the sun except with darkened glass, because, Of the danger of injuring the eyes.
 Hhis discovery of the card method of watching the progress of the eclipse was made during an observa- ton at Yorkshire several years ago.

sI f'l T H.H q
 Buffalo, Jan. 22.-lNiagara Falls. with its magnificent cataract banked with great pillars of crystal ice. never darkened by total eclipse in the memory of the white man, and Ithaca, with its concentration of scientific experimentations at Cor nell university. are wing for this section of'Newi York states chief in terest in the total eclipse of the sun which will take place nsyt Saturday morning. ..s
 The observations to be made .at Niagara Falls will be distinctly unique. It is expected that the eclipse will afford an unprecedented opportunity for study of the effects of varying light and shade over the cataract. with the illumination con- trolled as the hand of man alone cannot control it.
 Niagara, under normal winter con- ditions. presented an awcsome spec tacle. This season nature has been unusually generous. Early in the winter heavy storms and low tenn fperatures. aided by favorable winds, covered the islands and shore lines with soft white blanket. formed a massive Ice bridge, piled ice foes | into grinding mountains. and fes- tooned all the trees near the catar- acts bank with tiny sparkling ice- gems, evolved from frozen mists. What will be the effect of the gradual changing of the character and intensity of illumination during the eclipse and the pale light of the sun'sscorona, on the dancing prisms of snow and water in the cataract is ! a matter for conjecture.
 The Cleveland astronomical so- ciety will take, observations from l the roof of a hotel near the fall and corps of scientists under the di- i. rection of w. Darcy Ryan. head of l the General Electric Illuminating laboratory at Schenectady, will be stationed at the falls to measure and
 photograph the effect of the eclipse on the water and ice of the cataract. I The photometric measurements are expected to be of great scienti- \ fic interest and perhaps of practical value. Data gathered by the expedi- I ton will be used as a basis for planning artificial illumination of the 1 falls, in which several nearby cities are interested.
 l At Cornell university many of the countrys scientists will congregate' Yerkes observatory and the United
 States Coast and Geodetic Survey

LETTERS FIGURE
 IN CHICAGO CASE Inquiry Into McClintock Death
 Involves Shepherd

Chicago. Jan. 22.--Four letters which Harry olson. chief justice of the municipal court said were writ ten by William D. Shepherd, chief heir of William McClintock the millionaire orphan" to Miss Estelle Eleanor Gehling. a nurse, will figure in the coroner's inquest of McClin- tock's death when 1t Is resumed next month, Judge Olson said last night.
 McClintock's will. leaving the bulk of his $2,000.000 estate to Shepherd. was made last April just after he became of age. He died last month In the Shepherd home Of typhoid fever. according to patholo- 'gists. who performed necropsy.
 Miss Gehing said she met Shep- herd several years ago when he was brought to hospital where she was supervisor for slight operation by Dr. Oscar Olson. brother of Judge Olson. Since then, she said, Shep- herd had written her many letters, all of which she had destroyed ex- cept the four she turned over to Judge Olson.
 After she communicated with Judge Olson last Monday. he called upon Chief Morgan Collins for po- lice participation in the investiga- ton which was dropped by states attorneys after the necropsy showed McClintock died from natural causes. At the request of Chief Collins, the inquest which was to have been completed, Tuesday was continued to February 19.

Longs Corners, Ont, Jan. 22.-Al but the last details in the final ad- justment of their Instruments was reported today by scientists prepar- ing to observe the total eclipse of the sun from this point Saturday morn ing. There was an easier feeling at the temporary observatory today in respect to weather conditions for the event. For some days the scientists were somewhat pessimistic about the chances of favorable weather condi- tions at the time of the eclipse, but indications today were that clear sky at the critical moment was well within the bounds of probability.

YALEASTRON0MER
 GIVES MORE FACTS
Says Eclipse Shadow Travels ,N Miles a Minute

New Haven, Jan. 22.--Astrono- mers generally regard the rush of the shadow from the west to east which marks the beginning of the sun eclipse next Saturday as one of the most picturesque celestial phe- noniena known. Professor Ernest w. Brown. the Yale astronomer, to- day gave explicit directions to enable persons watching the eclipse to fol- low the shadow most successfully, He said: FF
 ",rhe moons shadow marking the beginning of the total eclipse of the sun comes from the west and travels about n mile second.
 "The rush of the shadow an- nouncing the beginning of the eclipse Is one of the most impressive sights of the event. In the eastern part of the track where 1t crosses the state of Connecticut 1t will come from d direction somewhat to the north of west. At New Haven the exact amount is IS degrees north of west. In the western part of the track the direction is little more northerly.
 50 Miles q Minute
 "The speed of the shadow in the east is about fifty miles a minute, rather less than a mile second. Towards the west It Is greater. It slows down to about mile in two seconds as 1t travels across the Att lantic but quickens. up towards the end of its path on the other side of the ocean.
 "The advancing shadow is best seen from hill or tower from which stretch of country to the west Is visible. White buildings in the distance will suddenly disappear from sight while those nearby will take on d dim ashen appearance. If the ground is covered with snow, the effect will be still more pro- nounced.
 Just as the advancing shadow marks the beginning of the eclipse, the coming of light from the west shows the end. The outer edge of the shadow approaches with the same speed, crosses the observer and passes off to the east allowing the sun to bathe the land in its rays once more.
 If the sky is covered with clouds at the time, the coming of darkness will not be so sudden. The shadow will reach the upper layers of cloud first since 1t travels in a slanting di- rection and a second or two will pass before 1t gets to the ground be- low. The .sxact time when 1t ar rlves will be harder to judges but Astronomers and those who are helping will try to determine 1t as accurately as possible"

Use Wireless as an Aid
 Tn "Crihhing" in School

Strasbourg, France, Jan. 22.-The use of wireless as a means of "crib- bing" by a young medical student has mortified the whole faculty of the university here. It appears that the aspiring Alsatian installed a wireless telephone receiving set un- der the table at which he was due to undergo a crucial written test, and that friend coached him from the outside.
 The dean of the medical school is investigating the affair, which is likely to be aired before the min isters of public instruction.
