(Professor of Astronomy, University
 of Illinois,

(fIOIeSsOr or Astronomy, university
 of Illinois,
 Crbana, H., Oct. 31. Rl-A total eclipse of the moon will occur No vember c7 early in the morning. It will be visible from beginning to end everywhere in the United States.
 The moon will enter the earth $ shadow at o::34 a. m. eastern stand ard time. Total eclipse begins at 3:3S and lasts until 4:2o o'clock. when the moon begins to emerge. At 5:39 a. m. the eclipse will be over. Central times are one hour earlier. mountain times two hours and Pacific times three hours.
 Although the moon will be en- tirely within the shadow for nearly an hour, it probably will not disap- pear from view. The reason is that considerable sunlight is refracted into the shadow through the ring of the earth's atmosphere around the base of the shadow.
 The moon at that time will be dim and noticeably red like the setting sun. Usually dark eclioses accompany stormy conditions all around the shadow base. The brightest ones occur when no clouds are there to stop the light, Mixed conditions give spotted ap- pearance to the eclipsed moon.
 While . lunar eclipse does not much effect us on the earth, it would be a serious matter if we lived on the moon. Recent obser- vations of eclipses have shown that the temperature of the moons sur face drops from TO degrees F'ah- renheit immediately before the eclipse to 1so degrees below zero during the total phase.
 A drop of 360 degrees in an hour or two is a cold wave no one would care to observe at close quarters. Of course, no one lives on the moon. for it is airless and entirely barren.
 It is the absence of atmospheric protection that permits the sudden change of temperature. During the long lunar night the cold is even more intense: thermometer at the surface would register not higher than 25o degrees below zero.
 The earth's conical shadow stretches nearly a million miles into space. On a screen placed at the moons distance from us the shadow would appear as dark circle 5.700 miles in diameter - am- pie space for the moon. whose. di- ameter is only 2.16O miles.
 At intervals of c9h days the
