The meeting was opened with reading

chair. The reports of the secretary
and the several committees were read
and approved. The work of the union
for the month was reviewed, showing
unusual activity along every line. The
speaker for the occasion was detained
unavoidably, but the women who are

programs interesting In spite Of dis
appointments.
The flood situation in the Southern
States was discussed and the union
voted to send $40 to the relief fund.
The sick and suffering at home and
in every other land were remembered
in prayer. ~
The meeting was closed in the usual
manner. after which refreshments and
a social hour followed.

occurs about 5:25 a.m<, and lasts but
25 seconds. OF course, the sun will
be very low and the chance of clear
weather is about third. However,
as this is the first total eclipse of the
sun visible from any part of England,
even assuming clear weather, since
1924, and no other will occur until
1899, 9,~.there~ will be great interest in
the occasion in that country. We wish
them well. The eclipse path runs just
north of Liverpool and passes over
Hartlepool on the east coast.
The short duration of the eclipse
and the rather small prospect of clear
weather will deter astronomers from
making long journeys to the scene Of
the eclipse. DR.. S. A. Mitchell of the
University of Virginia, who has al
ready made six expeditions and trav.
eled 10000 miles to observe total

eclipses Of the sun, will make his
seventh trip for this eclipse. The ex.
peditjon will be financed by Mr.. j. A.
Chaloner, DR.. Mitchell's special prob.
lem is to secure photographs of the
fash spectrum for study later. These
photographs can be secured only dur
ing a couple of seconds before and a
couple of seconds after tOtality. For
that reason he can secure the same
opportunities at a short eclipse that
he can at a long one. To secure
photographs of the corona, however,
many seconds are desirable and elab-
crate equipment Is necessary for large
sized photographs, so meager results
could be obtained from short eclipse
without undue expense. The study of
the flash spectrum enables us to know
more about the conditions in the suns
atmosphere. 1t is not possible to ex'
plain in a brief, non.technical descrip.
ton what the flash spectrum is or
how the photographs are obtained.
Another expedition will be led by
Prof. III. T. Stetson of Harvard Col.
lege. Still others in the United States
are considering expeditions, but at the
time at which write nothing definite
can be said with respect to them.
These expeditions will be made to
points in Norway.
We in the United States will not
see this eclipse in any phase.
A Total Eclipse of the Moon.
It is some consolation to know that
there will be a total eclipse of the
moon, which we can see, If our in.
terest is keen enough, on June Is.
The eclipse begins when the moon
first enters the earth's shadow at
1:43 am, Eastern Standard time, and
ends when the earth leaves the shadow
at 5:06 am. The most interesting
time will be the period of total eclipse.

of the information which follows I am
indebted to the paper on the subject
by Prof. Van Biesbroeck of Yerkes
Observatory in Popular Astronomy.
The comet moves in long ellipse
which extends little beyond the orbit
Of Jupiter. We can see the comet only
when it is near the earth and sun. 1t
requires very nearly six years to make
one circuit and will be nearest to the
sun June 81. The positions of the
seven dates and the positions of the
earth on the same dates are shown
in the figure. The plane of the comets
orbit is not quite the same as that
of the earth, but inclined 10 degrees
to it and crosses the plane of the
earth's orbit from north to south on
June Is. AS may be seen, the earth
and comet move around together.
The comet Is closest to the earth at
distance Of only 3,5O0,000 miles.
Only the moon is closer. Very rarely
does comet come so near. The
nearest approach known was that of

The Pons.Winnecke Comet.
A comet discovered by Pons in 1919
was rediscovered by Winnecke in 1858.
Computations made after the second
discovery showed that the comet was
periodic; that is, returned to the
vicinity of the earth at regular in
tervals, and that 1919 was one of these
times. Since 1858 it has been seen in
1863, 1869, 1875, 1886, 1892, 1898, 1909,
1915 and 1921. 1t was not seen in

Total eclipse lasts 90 minutes, from

the moon has little scientific i'm

be seen easily even when it is in total
eclipse, as it is illuminated by light
which reaches it after being refracted
by the earth's atmosphere. The light
