Photographing the Flash
Spectrum Was Important
Part of Astronomers Work
During Eclipse.
XNTHEN the eclipse of the sun
w occurred on April %, as
trononers observing it devoted much
of their efforts to photographing the
flash spectrum" 1t is only within
recent years that astronomers have
had a high degree of success with
the flash spectrum, and its study
promises to be an important item at
all future eclipses.
When a prism is held up to SUM-
light, it spreads the light into lit
tie rainbow. Astronomers call this
rainbow a spectrum.
The ordinary spectrum of the sun
is a continuous spectrum, crossed
with great number of dark lines,
the so-called Fraumhofer lines.
The flash spectrum is just the OPP
poSite. 1t consists of a series of
isolated bright lines, each line oc-
curing where the dark lines occur
in the ordinary spectrum.
To understand the reason for the
occurrence of the flash spectrum, we
must turn to the structure of the
sun.
The bright surface of the sun is
known as the photoSphere. The
dazzling light Of the sun originates
in the philosophers. The photo
sphere is a dense mass of gaseous
material at a temperature of 5000
degrees Centigrade, or 10000 de-
greeS on the Fahrenheit thermome-
ter, the one in general use in this
country.
Above the philosophers is a layer
OF cooler gases known to aStrono-
mers as the reversing layer. Above
this is the chromosphere, or at
mosphere Of the sun, an envelope of
thinner gases, chiefly hydrogen. This
chromosphere is at a tremendous
temperature. The solar promi-
nences, great tongues of flaming
gases, arise from the chromosphere.
Surrounding the chromosphere is
the great silvery halo, the corona.

duced another bill, acting he says at the request OF
the President. This would turn over the work of the
childrens bureau to the public health service, to be
subordinate apparently, to the other functions Of that
department.
For such change no convincing reason has been
offered 1t sounds dangerously like first step in the
direction the frightened of Boston are trying
to lead U.s.
Wisdom and humanity point the other way. Con-
gress will not have finished it's task this session until
it has done what can for the women who must bear
children in loneliness and poverty, and for the chill
dren to whom the future of the country belongs.

In an attempt to study the re1a-

patton, DR.. F. L. Hoffman found that
during the two years (1925-192D
there were 1913 deaths from lead
poisoning in the United States

OF these, 216 were in painters,

BY the time he is 81, he has

Pro-. Watson, Of Columbia
University, thinks the human
race would be greatly bene-
fitted if someone would remove
babies from their mothers at
?, and give them into less SEN
timental hands.
Personally, I'm not quite sold
on the suggestion, but If the

up his dating about 90 years

doting mama's grip. I'm with
him. lock. stock and barrel.
The American mother is an
amazing institution. She is,
given any breaks at all, as
pretty and bright at 40 as she
was at 20. When it comes to
force and efficiency, she has it
all over her average mate.
This idea of picturing America
as a tall old gent in striped
pants is nothing but a sop for
the boys. What America really
is, is a Stylish Stout model in
a s-lappy sport skirt, with a
lot Of trick pleats. Thus at
tired, Mrs. U. S. A. directs and
invades male life from cradle
to grave. And what she fre.
quently does to Mothers Pre-.

tragedy-Mama Is their best

glands"
Those in the neck are rather
familiar to the average person
for the reason that, especially in
childhood. they may become in
fected and, accordingly, en-
larged.

wards it is found that the
nodes in front of this line have
to do with drainage of the
mouth and nearby regions
while those in back of this line
are concerned with drainage
of the scalp.
An infected tooth, therefore,
may enlarge one or more lymph
nodes in the neck because the
poisonous waste products from
the tooth are carried, via lynn
phatic vessels, to the node,
where an attempt is made to
combat the infection. An in.
fected scalp may enlarge one
or more nodes, but further
back, and for a similar reason.
In infections of the breast
the lymph nodes under the
arm pit are affected. We say
that these drain" the breast.
In cases of infected fingers
the lymph nodes about the ell
bow become swollen and often,
especially in severe cases, blush
lines appear along the front of
the forearm, indicating infection
of the lymph vessels running
from the finger to the nodes.
Most of the lymphatic vessels
finally pour their lymph con-
tents into what is known as the
"Thoracic Duct"
The Washington times., 1930-06-23

When food is digested and
absorbed into the blood vessels
and so-called tlacteals" of the
intestineS, it is distributed
throughout the body.
However, such nutritive ele-
ments do not find their way
directly to the various organs
and tissues which need them,
not only because the blood YES
sells do not run to all minute
parts, but also because such
nutritive elements cannot pass
Through thick blood vessel
walls,
To overcome this difficulty
we have the Lymphatic System.
Lymph Is that sort Of blood
which is able to pass through
the finest and smallest blood
yesSels-the capillaries.
Lymph, therefore, is a kind
Of "go.between." It carries
nourishment from the blood to
all the tissues. It likewise car
ries waste products from the
tissues back into the blood.
Lymph bathes all living cells.
This, lymph, however, also
forms q system of distribution
of its own the same as does the
blood. These are known as
''lymph vessels" And, like the
veins rather than the arteries
Of the blood system. lymph yes.
sels carry waste products in one
direction, which is away from
the tissues.
These lymph vessels do not,
as in the case with the veins,
unite to form larger and larger
vessels. Lymph vessels remain
approximately the same size
throughout and empty into
what are known as lymph

Incidentally, both of these

 His first home run was made with one out and accounted for the first four runs in the Tigers B run rally, which gave them q Y 10 nin over Hun school. Later in the inning Purnell came 10 bat with two out and the same three runners on base and drove out his second homer.
