Why is there not an eclipse of the
sun every month when the moon is
"neW?"
There would be an eclipse of the
sun every month at this time if it
were not for the fact that the path
of the moon about the earth and the
path Of the earth around the sun are
not in the same plane but incline to
each other at an angle of IL de-
grees. In addition, perturbations due
to various causes result in distinct
and we'll marked deviation from the
moons course in a single month.
An eclipse of the sun cannot occur
unless some part of the moon over
laps the disk of the sun.

HELPS BURBERRY
Bigger Fruit and More Rapid
Growth Noted in Tests by
U. S. Experts.

Milk-fed blueberries will probably
figure along with milk-fed pullets on
restaurant bills of fare before long.
In the greenhouses of the Depart.
ment of Agriculture here DR.. F. V.
Coville, expert on blueberries and
other acid-soil plants, has been ex-
perimenting with buttermilk and sour
milk as fertilizers. and he finds that
they work very well.
Some years ago DIR. Coville showed
the world how to put BURBERRY Gull
ture on regular, profitable farming
basis, by seeing that they got acid
soils in which to grow, instead of the
neutral or slightly alkaline soils de-
.nanded by most crops. The queS-
lion of a nitrogen bearing fertilizer,
which all plants must have, still re-
manned, for acid soils are VIGOROUSLY
poor in nitrogen and somehow seem
70 resist the application of the or
binary kinds of nitrate fertilizers.
Milk, DR.. Coville reflected, is rich
in nitrogen compounds, and butter
milk. sour milk, whey and similar
acidulous dairy products are rather
q drug on the market. So he tried
these various nitrogen-bearing milk
products on lot of young BURBERRY
bushes, as well as on some aZeleas
and few other similar plants that
naturally thrive in sour soils.
The results of his experiments are
a striking confirmation of his initial
theory. The bushes, which are as
yet too small to bear a crop, pushed
along their growth in a most aston
ishing fashion, outstripping compan-
ion plants left without milk by a good
third in length of stem. and produc-
ing larger, greener, Misunderstanding
leaves.
Apparently, however, there can be
too much Of a good thing. One lot
of bushes was given a heavy over
dose of whey and showed definite
signs of i'll health. This Dr. Coville
to too much acid; for
bushes on a smaller ration of whey
throve very well.
DR.. Coville concludes that If further
experiments bear out the first re-
suits, there is an excellent prospect
of using dairy materials, now largely
wasted or sold at low figures, to en-.
courage the young and pushing in
dustry of BURBERRY culture, and to
help along the growth of rhododen-
drons, azaleas and similar ornamental
plants.

BOWERS TO DISCONTINUE

DR.. Richards and Wachter Decide

BOSTON, July 24.-Choppy seas and
the heat here caused DIR. Thomas K.
Richards and E. A. Wachter to decide
to discontinue at New York their pro-
posed row in wherry from Norfolk,
Va, to Boston. DIR. E. NJ. McGarty,
associate of DIR. Richards, confirmed
this report today after telephone
conversation with the head of the
rowing expedition, who was in Phila-
delphia.
DIR. Richards, medical director of
Harvard's foot ball squad, said his
companion, the crimson basket ball
coach, had suffered from the heat as
they crossed the, mouth of the Potomac
in the Chesapeake bay, and that two
or three storms had caused them to
lose so much time it was thought ad.
visable not to try to row farther than
New York. They had planned to make
the entire trip in two weeks, and left
Norfolk week ago last Thursday.
The rowers are expected to arrive
in New York about Tuesday evening.

NEW YORK FISHING
HOLE USEDBY MANY
Boats Leave for Atlantic
Angling Spots at All
Hours of Day.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 24.--New York.
like every small town, has It's "hshin
hole" Here it is the Atlantic Ocean.
and good fishing may be enjoyed In a
score of charted locations.
A handful of wealthy men go TO
Florida and California annually to en-
joy the sport in an expensive manner,
but more than 100000 men this sea
son have enjoyed deep-sea fishing by
devoting only one day at a time and
on a minimum expenditure.
Trade Highly Developed.
There always has been fishing, but
until recently the nimrods had to
organize small groups, charter an old
boat and get their enjoyment in the
face of discomfort and sometimes dan
ger.
Now, going fishing is as simple
as taking the ferry.
Large, speedy craft cater to this
one trade and, regardless of the time
of day the fisherman likes to drop
his line in the water, he can be &C
commodated.
If he likes to catch them as they
rise at dawn, there are boats leaving
at midnight. The man who likes his
nights sleep first can get the boat
at o'clock. Others leave at intervals
until late in the afternoon.
Veterans Lead Way.
The larger boats carry several score
of men and on Sundays usually are
crowded to capacity.
The boats, as a rule, are in charge
Of veteran fishermen, who gauge the
tide, wind and weather and can pick
unfailingly the place where they are
biting. Bass, fresh fluke and black
fish are among the leading catches.
The boats, however, would bring a
smile to the face of a veteran off the
Grand Banks. There is little rough
ing it. Instead, the tired sportsman
may sink into a heavily upholstered
chair. The larger boats even have
lounging rooms and dining rooms.
Sell Worms and Tackle.
Neither is it necessary to worry
about tackle, for along that section
of the docks from which the boats
depart are shops selling not only the
proverbial hook, line and sinker" but
all other equipment.
1t is not even necessary to dig for
worms, if that bait is used, for there
are any number of shops dealing in
grubs and angle worms.
There are many other conveniences
offered on these boats which tend to
make fishing a matter of luxury,
but there is one item of the old pond
that cannot be duplicated. That is
the tree on the messy bank where
one can stick the pole in the ground
and doze off while the fish play around
with the bait.

LONDON, July 24.-The National

The action was taken chiefly on the
ground that the federation is more

,manifestos whose effect has been to
mislead the workers of all Europe.
Only recently it was revealed in the
