Goshen; N. Y.--It may be a quarter of a century since harness racing played before metropolitan audiences in New York, back in the days when automobiles made more noise than speed.

 Representatives of Civic Music associations meet annually here to, discuss the artists and their abilities, ignoring the j publicity frequently used to build up a star. Each loyal association chooses its own talent but by mutual confer- ences, the best artists are made known. Desiring good music and not caring much for high-sound- ing foreign pameS as such, at the Civic Music asociation each local organiza- tion reports on the success of artists before their audiences. By thus relatnig their experiences with all artists, American artists Of ability have been placed on an equal footing with imported 'prinia donnas and virtuosi.

Ordinarily. these layers are invis- ible because of the binding light of the solar surface. By the use certain astrOnomic instruments
 the chromibphere and the promi- iiences have been rendered visible at other than eclipse times. but the carona has never beensseen ex- cept at time of total eclipse.
 The moon. although quite close to the sun, is entirely invisible be- fore the beginning of the prelimi- nary partial phase of the eclipse. Suddenly we notice that small slice has been cut from the solar disk. this black segment gradually increases in size as.thef moon moves into our line of sight. More than half of the sun's bright disk is soon covered, but even this diminution in the sunlight has no marked effect on, the general illumination. As the sun shrinks, to a narrow crescent. the growing darkness be- comes suddenly noticeable:a the twilight is strange and, to the bril- liant solar disk, slightly uncanny. As the moon moves on and covers the last brilliant solar disk. there suddenly flashes out the r0se-red surrounded by the pallid glory of the corona Cor0nal streamers extend sometimes over a million miles into space. Some of the brighter stars and planets which happen to lie close to the suns position, become visible. just as the ordinary twilight and increase the beauty of the spectacle. At the present eclipse, Jupiter, Regulus and Mercury will lie in this order from the sun to the westward and will probably be observable while -totality lasts.
 All too soon the few seconds al- loted to totality pass and with the first ray of direct sunlight, the chr0mosphere and the corona van- fsh from the view of man until the next total eclipse. Gradually the rhurrying moon moves eastward across the sun and normal day. light is restored. Nothing remains of natures sublimest spectacle ex- cept an indelible image in our minds.
 The most serious problems for the astronomer at a total eclipse is the composition and physical con- ditions of the corona and the Ein- stein or relatively shift of the light coming from stars in the field sur. rounding the sun. This Is shown, as a change iu the positions of the stars in the field when the sun is present and again six months or so later when the same star field is far from the sun and up. in the sky at night. In spite of all the work that has been done on this problem since the first oh. servations in 1919. 1t has not yet been carried to satisfactosy con- cfusion and has been studied at practically every total solar eclipse of the last ten years. In the corona, it 10 the electrical and physical condition which still remain . deep puzzIe, ' as we'll asrthe -nuestion of the origin Of the very prominent "coronium" epectum lines or lIght- waves.
