Cambridge. Mass. Nov. s. ~
When tho moon goes into total

3:33 a. m. November 81. astrono-
mers in the western hemisphere will
have few moments to augment
two rare lines OF research.
One Is a study OF the earth's at
mosphere. The other is an inves-
tigation of the suspicion that the
earth's revolution on its axis is not
uniform.
When the moon Is in total
eclipse. it nevertheless still is WISH
BILE dimly. from sunlight which Is
bent inward around the edges Of
the earth by refraction through the
atmosphere. In 1S4S so much light
reached the moon in this manner
that 1t was copper color. and few
persons realized it was in eclipse
At other times there has been lit
tie reflection from the moon. show
ing that the earth's air was at the
moment quite opaque. 1t is prob
able that some very dark eclipses
Of the moon may be traced to vol
canic eruptions which fill the air
with dust.
Another observation, which IS
subNantiated by photographs. is
that the darkest part of the shad-
ow on the moons face is not
where it would be expected. IN the
center of the shadow. but on the
northern side of the shadow. The
light on the moon during this COM
eclipse copes from the north
crn atmosphere of the earth.
DIR. Willard J. Fisher of the Har-
ward college observatory explains
that the northern atmosphere is
believed to he more Opaque. due to
more dust and smoke in the north
ern hemisphere than in the south
ern. The great land areas OF the
north do not form as good settling
basins for clearing the air Of for
cign PARTICLES as do the great
oceans about the Antarctic.
Or. Fisher is now working on
data of the lunar eclipse Of 1927.

exact line across North America
above which the sunlight would be

line ran from Nova Scotia through

Cheap beds are like everything
else. bad investments, and all
things must be bought not as ex-
pendftures but as investments.
The bed that 'squeaks" is a
bed with mean malady. Do not
toelrate a squeak here any more
than you would in your motor.
If it squeaks it is suffering from
bad joints. the side rails and the
head and foot boards are not con-
genially joined and need atten-
ton. Reduce the melody and
sleep will be sweeter.
When you buy springs get an
eternal spring-not a spring TO
use for a few months time.
All springs divide themselves
into about four classes:
The woven wire, a woven mesh
about three-eighths of an inch
thick, is the cheapest. Some are
good, and some are bad. What
you must demand lis one that will
sag and stretch the least. This,
if it says. cannot be renewed,
unless YOU buy a whole new
spring, but there are woven
springs fastened at both ends
which can be renewed.
The national spring is so at
tached at either end of it's frame
that it can be renewed when it
