Abyssinia Plans
Initial Seaport

WASHINGTON, Nov. s.-R-
Abyssinis, a country sealed from the
outer world for many centuries, is at
last to have a seaport. Yielding TO
the demands of modern progress, Ras
Tafari, the ruler of the black ma
ton, has negotiated with the italian
government a lease for $50 years
upon a piece of Red Sea shore in
Eritrea, the Italian African posses
sion and will proceed to develop It..
Word of the enterprise came to
the department lotely
through one Of its trade scouts, who
pointed out that the new port meant
some construction jobs in wharf
building and some dredging contracts
for somebody. The Abyssinian pro-
gram at its inception is rather mod
est, and the whole territory leased
will amount to about 10000 square
meters.
So far, the only seaboard entrance
to Abyssinia has been through French
territory from Dijibouti. over a mar
row guage rail line run by the
French. which reaches Adds Ababa,
for centuries the Ethiop capital. Now
that the lease has been arranged on
Italian territory. the Abyssinian gov
eminent will collect customs and con-
troll absolutely the traffic passing
inland through its contemplated port.

RARE ECLIPSE
DUE NOV. Il
Offers Oppor tunity
For Specialized
Research

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Nov. SIP
When the moon goes into total
eclipse over the Pacific ocean at
1888 q. m, Nov. 27, astronomers in
the western hemisphere will have a
few moments TO augment two rare
lines of research.
One is a study Of the earth's at
mosphere. The other Is an investi-
CATION 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 visible dim
ly, from the sunlight which is bent
inward around the edges Of the
earth by refraction through the at
mospere. In 1s4S so much light
reached the moon in this manne
that it was a copper color, and
few persons realized it was in
eclipse. At other times there has
been little reflection from the
moon. showing that the earth's air
was at the moment quite Opaque. 1t
is probable that some very dark
eclipses of the moon may be traced
TO volcanic truptions which fill the
air with dust.
Another observation, which Is
su~bstantiated by photographs. is
that the darkest part of the shadow
on the moons face is not where it
would be expected, IN the center OF
Tho n1A~ - a.
side Of the shadow. The light on
the moo during this coming eclipse
comes from the northern atmosphere
of the earth.
DR.. Willard J. Fisher Of the Har-
ward college observatory explains
that the northern atmosphere is be-
lieved to be more opaque, due to
more dust and smoke in the north
ern hemisphere than in the southern.
The great land areas of the north do
not form as good settling basins for
clearing the air of foreign art cles
as do the great oceans about the
Antarctic.
DR.. Fisher is now working on data
Of the lunar eclipse of 1927, when
he was able to forecast the exact
- 1NAtSS ANbANn america anONe
which the sunlight would be bent
IN toward the moon. This lire ran
from Nova Scotia through Hudson
Bay and Alaska. He has reports
that all this line was cloudy. except
a short stretch near Hudson Bay.
Study of the earth's rotation Is
made possible because stars ordi-
narily invisible in the radiance
close to the moon cen be seen and
Photographed during the eclipse.
These stars determine quite exact
" the moons position. For a long
time the moon has appeared irreg-
ular in its course. II was difficult
to predict exactly its positions. The
queen Of the night seemed not to
obey exactly the laws Of gravitation
and motion. The measuring unit
which showed these apparent irreg-
ularities was the rotation Of the
earth.
Recent research. through observ-
ing the stars at eclipse and at 9TH
er times. DR.. Fisher says, indicates
that the moon is behaving accord
ing TO the law Of g%ravitation and
that it is the earth's rotation which
Is slightly uncertain.

When the driver sees this signal he
