RANGER PICTURES
TO co ON EXHIBIT
Works of IL American Artists
: Win Be Displayed Until
January 81.

The rs pictures, so far purchased by
the National Academy of Design from
the Henry Ward Ranger fund will be
exhibited at the National Gallery Of
Art, Smithsonian Institution, next
Wednesday. They will remain on ex-
hibit until January 81.
The Smithsonian Institution regards
this collection of paintings by outstand-
ing American artists as one of prime
interest. Henry Ward Ranger, himself
an artist of note and an academician
of the National Academy of Design,
died in 1916, leaving his entire estate
to the academy, the income to be used
to purchase pictures by living American
artists, the majority to be by artists
over IS years of age.
Pictures Assigned to Associations.
These pictures are assigned by the
academy to art associations museums
and libraries that are free to the public,
the assignment being subject to the
privilege of the National Gallery of
claiming any of the pictures which 1t
deems desirable for the national COL
lection within the Swear period, be-
ginning 10 years after the artists death
and ending is years after his death.
Regarding the operation of this provi-
sion, the catalogue to be issued for use
at the coming exhibition says:
"a large number of museums and
art aSsociatioSN-N9e eligible to receive
these Ranger-fund pictures, and the
number is gradually increasing. Every
effort has been made by the National
Academy of Design to extend the edu-
cational and cultural influence of these
Ranger-fund pictures. The works are
selected and purchased by the council
of the academy, and their choice is
carefully made in order that the diff
ferent examples may represent the best
of the different tendencies of contempo-
rary American painting. The assem-
blage in the National Gallery of repre-
sentative examples of the works of
American painters and Of the periods
represented will give to the Ranger be-
quests great national importance. In
the course Of time, as the centuries pass,
there will have been brought together
an aSSemblage of art works such as no
other agency or procedure can hope to
surpass."
"a Artists Represented.
Through cooperation of the numer-
Gus art galleryS and museums to which
the pictures have been assigned and of
the National Academy of Design the
Ranger-fund paintings will now for the
first time be exhibited to the public
all together. The costs of the aSSemblage
have been betrayed by the Carnegie
Corporation of New York. The cata-
logue lists Is pictures, representing "A

;TOSTUDY ECLIPSE FOR SHADOW BANDS
Astronomical Parties to Hold
 @indfQld Test May g

New York. May ' R-Severa, members of astronomical parties ex- poet to sit blindfolded for about 30 minutes before the total eclipse of the sun takes place on the other side of the world May 3.
 And when they remove the blinds it will not be to look first at the impressive spectacle of an eclipse. hunting for the shadow bands" that are familiar to every person who has watched total eclipse.
 These bands are shadows sweep ing with clocklike regularity over the earth's surface before and after the moments of totality. Whether they persist during the total eclipse is what the astronomers using the blindfold experiment wish to find out. There has been disagreement.
 In the past some observers as serted they could see the bands even during totality, but there has been doubt whether this was real, or an optical deiusion arising from watch ing the bands before the sun was plotted out
 Why are astronomers spending months of travel for few mo- nents of experiments. each one as exacting as that of the shadow bands? This question was asked Of nt al nf
 Flower observatory and professor of astronomy of the University of Penn sylvania.
 Because" he replied, 'the sun is the only star sufficiently close 10 be seen in detail. We must interpret ] all other stars on the basis of what we can learn about our own sun.' More information about the iden- 1 tity of coronium is another of the | objectives in this years eclipse. ! Coronium is something that exists in the suns corona. the outer white l glow that surrounds it during the l moments of total eclipse. Spectro- | sopic photographs contain certain lines which show the presence of this | element.
 But these lines indicate that 1t is
 a substance never yet duplicated in earthly laboratories, and thus far unknown. ch, mists know of two missing elements which they believe exist on earth. but the lines idcnti- flying coronium do not link it to either of these.
