NV THEORETICALLY there Is no
limit. AS long as the sun,
earth and moon have occu-
pied the relative positions, and
possessed the relative motions,
that now characterize them,
eclipses must have been occurring
Just as they occur at present. 1t
is a matter Of calculation based
upon fixed relations of time and
motion.
Since an eclipse of the sun is
caused by a conjunction OF the
moon with the sun in the line of
sight OF an observer on the earth
(the moon appearing to pass over
the SUM 1t is evident that there
would be an eclipse every lunar
month II the orbit of the moon
around the earth lay exactly in
the same plane with the orbit of
the earth around the sun. But
the orbit OF the moon is inclined
something over five degrees to.
that of the earth; and moreover
the two opposite points called
nodes where the moons orbit
plane cuts that of the earth, shift
around with respect to the earth
and the sun. and there can be a
solar eclipse only when the line
Of the nodes happens to point to-
ward the sun and the moon hap
pens simultaneously to be near
that one Of the nodes which lies
between the earth and the sun.
There are irregularities in the
motion Of the moon and of the
nodes, which have to be taken
into any exact calculation Of an
eclipse. But the law of these
motions Is known with a very
close approximation, so that
highly accurate computations can
be carried hundreds and even
thousands of years into the
future or the past.
Forecast Year 2l6S.
In Oppolzcr's Canon of Eclipses"
such calculations have been made
for all eclipses occurring during a
period of 1868 years, beginning
with 1907 bcfrle the Christian era,
and ending with 2161 A. .. Pro

There Is a celebrated verse In
the Biblical book Of Amos"
which many believe refers to q
solar eclipse. 1t runs as follows:
81 will cause the sun to 90
down at noon and I viii darken
the earth in the clear day."

sun as q figurative expression for
the oncoming OF darkness, this -

which might have been the one
referred to by the scrfptural
writer. These eclipseS occurred
B. C. 791, B. c. I'll, B. C. ITO,
B. c. 763. The latter IL generally
regarded as furnishing the most
probable Identification. It has
been computed that this eclipse
was visible at Nineveh on June
Is, B. c. 763.
Everybody has read OF the Ia

pened in the reign OF Emperor
Chung K'ang, and for failing TO
foretell which the astronomers
Ho and Hi were beheaded. Calcu-
lation has proved that there was
a total eclipse visible in China
on october %, b. C. 21S6. and for
various historical reasons 1t has
been thought that this was the
eclipse that cost Ho and Hi their

loadstone was already known in
Europe. It is also contended
that the Asiatics are irdebted
to the Europeans for the com
pass, since their instrument Is
exactly like ours. and they AL
ways buy them OF Europeans.
This contention seems reason
able, for if the Asiatics had IN
vented the compass is it likely
that they would manufacture II
themselves.
The earliest definite mention
as yet known OF the use Of the
mariners compass occurs in
treatise written written by AL
exander Neckam in tho uWrlfth
century. He wrote.
Mariners at sea, when through
cloudy weather in the day which
hides the sun. or through the
darkness of the night, they lose
the knowledge of the quarter of

Another early type Of compass
consisted of a magnetized needle
which was floated in dish OF
of water supported by a splinter of
wood or reed. Even before the
magnetized needle was used Il
piece of iron was placed upon
small raft Of cork or reed In a
bowl of water. The Italian name
Of "calamita," which is still used
to designate a magnet. literally
means frog and probably is due
to the resemblance between the
oating iron and a frog.
BY the thirteenth century we
already find descriptions of
compass with needle thrust
through a pivoted axis. placed in
a box with transparent cover.

~HE discovery that a load
stone--a natural magnetic
l. iron ore-will direct itself
to point north and south led
to the discovery of the mari
ner's compass. The Chinese, the
Arabs, the Greeks, the Firms
and the Italians have all claimed
that they were the originators
of the compass.
There is a Chinese tradition
that in the year 1884 B. c. the
Emperor IIiuan-yuan attacked one
Tchi-yeou, and finding his army
lost in a thick fog raised by
the enemy, constructed a chariot
for indicating the south, where
the enemy lay, and thus was
enabled to pursue Tchi-yeou and
take him prisoner.

this south-pointing chariot was

strange that one coach compares him to Mel Sheppard, and another to Charley Paddock, and another to Kolehmainen, and another to Alfred Shrubb, and so on-all-star runners.
 In rowing, every coach for fifty years has been trying to get a stroke that on the recovery does not check the forward progress of the boat; and in running every coach has been doing his best to make the body and arms aid rather than re tard the speed of his pupil And so when their boat wins they be- lieve their picture is right, and ten years later they see another boat slipping along through the water and coming into a commanding lead they recognize the old picture even though the mists of time have blund- cred their recollections bit, and when Superlative runner like Nurmi appears before the track eX- perts, they are reminded of other winners, and perhaps with accur- acy.
 Nothing succeeds like success, and we can all see Nurmi on the night of January and make our own pie lures and call him a Sheppard or a Paddock or a Shrubb-by the way why not a Len Myers or a w. c. l George or a Workman?
