are prepared years IN auVaHce lroIn
tables which have been calculated
and printed especially for the pur-
pose of predicting the place OF the
moon in space at any time. These
tables are based, in the main, on OBJ
servations of the moon, running back
many years into the past and taking
into account, of course, what we be-
lieve to be the gravitational laws
which control the relative motions
of the sun, the moon and the earth.
If we can determine for the COM
ing eclipse the position of the edge o
the shadow path on the earth to with
in a hundred feet or less and if we
can determine simultaneously the
exact times at which the total part
of the eclipse begins and ends, as,
tronomers hope to be able to use
this improved data to discover hethe
any further correction is necessary in
these important tables and to calcu-
late exactly what this correction vii.
need to be.
The determination of the exact
time of the eclipse will be done best
by trained observers working with
the most accurate and expensive
equipment. What the general scientif
ic public can do-and do well is tc
locate exactly the path of the shadow
across the earth.
1t is strongly urged that every per
son interested in science and who car
by any means arrange to do sc
should station himself at some prope,
point Gas is described in detail in the
following paragraphs and should
make and report the necessary obser
Vations. 1t is by nc means an over
statement to say that adequate pub
lie cooperation in this important in
yestigation may furnish a better val.
ue for the moons position at the time
of the eclipse than could be obtained
in any other known way
The ideal thing would be to have
thousands of individuals stationed
about one hundred feet apart through
out two strips of country, each few
miles wide and covering the two edge
of the calculated shadow path. If each
of these thousands of observers re
ported his exact position on the
earth's surface and whether or not
the eclipse was absolutely total at
that position, the data obtained woulC
permit the calculation of the eclipse
path with an accuracy much greater
than any previously obtained.
So comprehensive a plan of observe
ton as this is probably impracticable
but a great deal of valuable data can
be obtained if persons who happen
to be near the calculated edges of the
path on the morning of the eclips
will note down and report only two
facts: One, exactly where the obser-
yer stood; two, was the eclipse total
at that point or was it not?
The path of totality begins about
12O miles west of Duluth, Minnesota
where the sun rises already eclipsed
Eastward of this point the shadow
passes over parts Of the Great Lakes
practically covers the state of Con
necticut extends across the Atlantic
Ocean and bends up to the northwest
of Scotland, where it ends about sun
set The lower edge of the band of
totality just covers Duluth, Mime

ciety as described in the following ar.
ticle.
At the solar eclipse of January "a
1925 the band of total darkness will
cover territory so much greater in
population than any total eclipse of
the past or the near future that the
American Astronomical Society feels
it to be a good opportunity to secure
the cooperation of the public in OBJ
tanning CERTAIN observations. An ac
count of what observers may see if
the weather is clear has been given
by Professor Russell in the preceding
article In the following paragraphs
are instructions forzcarrying out sew
eral kinds of observations which can
be made by anyone and which will
be extremely useful for the progress
of scientific astronomy.
There are four of these investiga-
lions. First is the photography of the
corona or fringe of light around the
1ulIy CCllpOCu ouAl. oOOOhO 10 CAO w.
termination of the amount of light
received from the sky during the
time of totally. Third is the investi-
cation of the mysterious shadow
bands which. Immediately precede
and follow the period of totality.
Fourth, and most important of all, is
the exact determination of the edge
of the shadow path on the surface of
the earth.
Tables of the Moon
The especial Importance of this
marking of the shadow path is due
to the fact that the astronomers can
not predict the exact place of the
moons shadow on the earth closer
than about one mile, or the exact
time of the eclipse to an accuracy OF
more than few seconds.
Such predictions as can be made

One scientist tells others that the
potato vine is deadly to tobacco and
tomato plants, to both of which the
potato is related. The sap from the
ordinary potato plant will kill the
two other plants.
Combat and destruction extend, you
see, from proud man at the top of
creation all the way down to the
abode of the potato bug.
Tobacco men rejoice, saying, you
have abused our tobacco, and now IL S
your highly moral potato that does

The potato farmer answers, "Pota-
toes may destroy tobacco plants. But
remember that pigs destroy rattle
snakes, yet pigs are less poisonous
than rattlesnakes."

that in the vegetable world there are

Some healthy boy may change her

Sugar companies, oil and railroad
companies are organizing great mer.
gers, bigger and bigger industrial
units are coming. In the end, perhaps
single units will include entire indus
tries.
No need to worry about it. The big
ger the better if the public gets its
share of the savings. II the public is
not intelligent enough to watch and
regulate one big concern. it won't be
able to watch and control the secret
inside deals of a dozen little con
Germs.
Very expensive is the overhead in
wasteful competition, and the public
pays the entire bill always.

There is a new plan for teaching
little boys how to grow UP. This il
the ''Knighthood" plan, to teach little
boys chivalry and guide them away
from evil.
It's a good plan, presumably, but
it is possible to oyerdo schemes and
plans for showing boys how to act
and think.
They need some time in which to
think exactly in their own way. 1t is
the thinking that a boy does on his
own account and of his own free will
that counts.
Little Newton, called dull boy
was thinking out the law of gravita-
ton. Napoleon, called sulky boy tt
his military school, was making plans
that surprised his teachers later. Let
children alone, at least part of the
time.

The Indians themselves, Indian bu-

the restriction extended. as they de-

the last decade.
Farming and stock raising have de-
Teloped appreciably among the In

being spent by the government on irri-
cation projects on their lands, the In

IN MEMORIAM.

In sad but loving remembrance Of
our dearly beloved mother, Josephine
Robinson, who entered into eterm al
rest two years ago today, June 4,
1923.
Rest in peace, dear mother,
Two years have passed away,
Thou art gone, but not forgotten
For we think of you each day.
O soul that was noble and earnest and
kind,
O life where the rarest of virtues
we find,
O mind ever pure as the white lily
flower,
How sadly we miss you each day and
each hour.
Mother, not one day are you forgotten,
Something said or something done,
We mention your name, if only a
whisper,
Wish mother was here to cheer us
some.
She was one with soul divine,
Whose heart was constant and true,
One who was the same all the time,
bCdlCoC 0AOCilSA, IAioS VS@o SSSA'
One who was always kind,
Who would always forgive and for
get,
One with the purest of minds,
Whose friendship was ever set.
Out in life's garden, where sympathy
grew,
God planted soul-'twas the soul
o'you;
Lies wonderful garden, love seeking
went through,
Till He found heart-'twas the heart
o'you.
We sought through life's garden Of
rue,
And we found one sweet blossom all
jeweled with dew;
Love, sympathy, faith-all unchang-
ing and true
And the heart of my flower, dearest
mother, twas you.
HER CHILDREN.
