plated. There was always elaborate
preparation which gave opportunity
for elaboration and which left in the
minds of all concerned the seriousness
of the obligation which was about to
be taken. One has only to read the
accounts of these preparations among
the most primitive tribes Of all coun-
tries to realize how important an event
marriage was considered even among
peoples whose sociological develop,
ment was very incomplete indeed.
The church, especially those churches
which make any attempt at ritualistic
form, has always made marriage much
more than legal contract. 1t has
given it dignity and surrounded it with
ceremony. Music and lights and flow
ers and formal dress have emphasized
and dignified it.
There lies before me now formal
announcement that the parents of a
young woman with whom I am ac-
quainted wish to make the public ac-
quainted with the fact that their
daughter has entered into an engage
ment to marry certain young man.
Sometimes such an announcement
seems like broadcasting ones private
affairs, but 1t Is not so. The custom
Is an old one, a dignified one, and one
which might with propriety become
more common.
There are too many informal mar
riages, and their result Is likely to be
disastrous.
There was formal social function
in town not long ago which two young

walked up justice of the peace, and
amid hilarity and laughter they were
married. There was no serious con-
sideratlon of what they were doing,
no solemn ritual; they were simply
putting on a vaudeville stunt at a
social function, wonder how 1t will
turn out.

the Kyoto Imperial university, Japan,
and the Central Astronomical observa-
tory at Pulkoya, Russia, are expected.
Most of the observations to be made
by these astronomers, If cloudy
weather does not make the elaborate
preparations in vain, will be photo
graphs of the solar corona. The CO.
roma is the outermost part of the sun,
so faint that it is generally invisible
because Of the great glare from the
light Of the pner part When the
solar disk is covered by the moon, at
the time of a total eclipse, the corona
becomes visible.
In addition to direct photographs,
in black and white, natural color and
motion, made through cameras rang
ing from small kodaks to huge as
Economical instruments as much as 85
feet long, spectroscopic photographs
will be made of the corona to deter

Of the flash spectrum, seen when the
last silver Of sun Is visible just before
the moon completely covers it, or
when the first bit reappears just after

tions give valuable information about
the suns atmosphere.
Still other observations to be at
tempted will be photographs Of the
shadow bands which appear on the
ground before and after the total
eclipse, and of the shadow of the moon
as it sweeps over the earth. One OBJ
servation that has engaged the atten-
ton of astronomers at recent eclipses

Old English Law Made
Churchgoing Compulsory

Golfers, picnickers, Sunday auto
lists would be out of luck if an old
English law were in force today.
The act Of uniformity, 1852, re-
quired:
"All persons, except those dissent
ing from the worship or doctrines of
the Church of England and usually
attending some place OF worship not
belonging to the Church of England,
are, if they have no lawful or reason
able excuse for absence, to endeavor
to attend their parish church or ac-
customed chapel, or, if reasonably
prevented from so doing, some other
place where the divine service of the
Church of England is performed, on
all Sundays and other days ordained
and used to be kept as holy days, and
to abide there orderly and soberly
during the time Of common prayer.
preaching or other divine service
there performed"
Failure to observe this law renders
the offending ''parishioner or inhab-
liant Of parish" who is not legally
exempt from attendance at divine
service on Sundays and holy days
"liable in proceedings taken against
him in the ecclesiastical courts to be
censured for the offense, admonished
as to its attendance in the future,
and to be condemned in the costs Of
the proceedings"

NEW DESTROYERS WILL
BEAT ALL In THEIR GLASS

Washington.-The five American de-
stroyers now under construction will
be the fastest and most powerful ves-
sells Of their class ever built in the
United States, according to naval Off
Gals. These war vessels will have a
designed speed Of 361s knots, or APP
proximately 40 miles an hour, COM
pared to the present 35-mile speed Of
the fleets best destroyer types.
The new warships will have five
hve-inch guns, compared with four
1our-inch guns on the rapidly deteri-
Grating destroyers on the naval list.
According to Rear Admiral E. B. Lari-
mer, chief Of the bureau Of ordnance,
the new vessels excel the present
boats in speed. stability, armament,
greater engine power, and seaworthi-
ness.
The new vessels also have center
line gun and torpedo positions, thus
increasing the field Of fire, power op-
Grated ammunition hoists, new fire
control apparatus, and improved tor
pedo control machinery.
Whereas the old destroyers carry
no machine guns at all, the new ones
will come equipped with five 50-caliber
and three 30-caliber machine guns.
The horsepower Of the new speed boat
destroyers will be 42,S00. Their

ECLIPSE OF SUN EXCITES
INTEREST OF SCIENTISTS

New York.-A new record for the
number Of astronomical parties OBJ
serving total eclipse of the sun will
be set on August 81 Of this year, when
the moons shadow passes across east
ern Canada and New England.
Word has already been received of
16 institutions whose representatives
will be in the path Of the shadow, and
probably a number of others will also
send astronomers to make observa-
tions only possible when the moon
hides the sun. Hundreds of other
professional and amateur students of
the heavens will go to see this rare
phenomenon, generally regarded as
the most impressive of natural spec
tacles.
Eight of the scientific parties now
planned are from American institu-
tons, two from Canada, four from
England, and one each from Russia
and Japan. The path along which
they will be located is about 100 miles
wide and passes south of Hudson bay,
across Quebec, over the st. Lawrence
river from a point about eight miles
west of Montreal to one about twenty
five miles east Of Three Rivers. Both
of these cities are therefore well with
in the band Of totality.
Entering the United States, the
path is across northeastern Vermont,
all of New Hampshire except the
southwestern corner, southwestern
Maine, the northeastern corner of
Massachusetts, and Cape Cod. The
shadow will cover all Of the Atlantic
coast between Salem, Mass, and
Boothbay. Maine.
The most northerly accessible point
from which to observe the total eclipse
is Parent, Quebec, on the Canadian
National railway, about 1876 miles
northwest Of Montreal Two expedi-
lions, those of the Dominion observa-
tory at Ottawa and the Royal OBJ
servatory at Greenwich, England, are
expected to make this town their
headquarters.
At Sorel, Quebec, on the st. Law
renee river, close to the center Of the
path, the expedition from the McCor-
mick observatory Of the University Of
Virginia will be located. Astronomers
of McGill university at Montreal will
make observations from their own
city, where they will be Joined by a
group from the University Of London.
Astronomers from Cambridge univer-
sity will go to Magog, Quebec.
Most of the parties located in the
United States have chosen the vicin-
ity Of Conway, N. H., including North
and Center Conway, and Fryeburg,
Maine, as observation points. Groups
from the Lick observatory Of the Uni
versity of California and the Sproul
observatory of Swarthmore college
will go to Fryeburg. Near Center
Conway will be party from the Van
Week observatory. Of Wesleyan uni
versity. Representatives from the
Franklin institute, Philadelphia, will
go a little further west, to Conway,
according to tentative plans. The
group from the Perkins observatory
Of Ohio Wesleyan university will To-
cate at Douglass Hill, near Sebago,
Maine. At this same location will be
a party from the Royal Astronomical
society, London.
