VaxiQtion Noticed in
Suns Rotation Period

The sun is as tickle in most of its

own smile. 1t has been found, how
ever, that this inconsistency is prob
ably periodic function, so that the
sun win vary from maximum to min
imum in its behavior over fixed Pc
riod Of years.
For example, DR.. Charles ST. John
OF the Mount Wilson observatory in
California, has discovered that the Pc

is slowing down. In 1876 the equa-
torial speed Of the suns rotation was
2.28 kilometers per second. In 1915
1t was 1856, and by 1928 the sun had
slowed down to 1.S9 kilometers per
second. 1t is believed, however, that
this decrease will not be constant, and
that beginning in 1929 the sun will
gradually pick up speed again until it
reaches a maximum period of rotation
within the next few years.

Eruption of Volcanoes
Ascribed to the Tides

Not all active volcanoes erupt. as
did Mount Etna recently, like boiled
over pot. Many explode, shooting dust
and ashes miles into the air. The non
explosive character of Etna is ascribed
by volcanologists to the fact that its
lava is relatively thin liquid which
allows steam and gas bubbles to
escape readily. In explosive vol
canoes the lava is thick. It holds
back steam and gas stubbornly, caus-
ing immense pressure beneath and
eventually a violent eruption.
Because practically every active vAl-
cano in the world is located not far
ffHezll large bodies Of tire he tiireUr!
is advanced BY DR.. William Bowie of'
the United States coast and geodetic
survey and others that the kneading
action of the periodic tides twists the
earth, forcing up the lava and causing
volcanic activity.

There is still another story of the
origin Of the Bowie knife-and another
inventor of it'll This story names as
the father Of the weapon a Tennessean
named John Sowell, who fought with
Jackson in the War of 1912. then
moved to Missouri and finally settled
in Gonzales, Texas, in 1920. Being a
blacksmith, he began plying his trade
there. Then. the story as told Dy

James Bowie often passed through
Gonzales on his way East after trip
prospecting in the mountains 70 the
West, and he generally had Is 70 ~
men with him-all Indian fighters--and
they had many encounters with the
Comanches and other tribes. In one OF
these fights Bowie thrust at an Indian
with his butcher knife and his hand
slipped over the blade, cutting him very
badly. This cut suggested the idea OF
a guard between the handle and blade
and he cut a pattern from piece or
wood and in passing through Gonzales
stopped at Sowell's shop and asked him
IL he couli make one like 1t. SoWell
replied that he could and, selecting a
piece of steel, turned out knife that
pleased Bowie very much. Mr.. Sowell
asked Bowie IL he (SowelD might give
the knife a name. Bowie replied in the
affirmative and MIR. Sowell said, Il will
name it in honor of you. we will call

"Who invented the Bowie knife?"
Let him who can, read that conflicting
testimony and then give reply which
he can be sure is correct!

 BATTLE TONIGHT
Bristol and New Britain Clash
 at Walnut Hill Park

With a chance for crack at the state title at stake, the New Britain and Bristol Legion teams will clash at Walnut Hill park this evening at 6:15 o'clock. A capacity crowd is expected to be present as one of the best games to date is being predict cd for tonight.
 The Bell City nine already holds a decision over the local crew. In Bristol several weeks ago, Potz, pitching for the Bell Towners held the Manganmen helpless and as q result the end of the game found the locals on the short end of a 9 to 0 score.
 Tonight the New Britain team will seek revenge. The locals will be playing with their backs up against the wall as win for N.c Bristol contingent will put the Hard ware City nine out of the running for the state title. X win will dead lock the two hines and necessitate a playoff for the title of this half of the county.
 Realizing the importance Of the struggle, Coach Mangan has worked his squad hard this week and he believes that it is in the best form since the opening of the season and that the Bristol crew will fall vic tims to his charges when the teams meet tonight
 As yet, New Britain's pitching selection is up in the air but in all probability, Harry Lennhan, who has been twirlng effectively since the opening of the season. will gat the call. on the other hand. sammy Capodice showed brilliant form as d relief pitcher against the Bristol team in their last meeting and he may possibly be used.
 Bristol will doubtlessly start its leading hurler, Potz. After his re- markable showing in the first en- counter between the two teams, the Bell City coach is expecting an easy time tonight when his charge takes the mound.
 Both nine will have their strong est lncups in the game.
