atmosphere by the rays of the sun.
These free electrons, or ions,
form in huge clouds, through
which radio signals, except those
of extremely short wave lengths,
will not penetrate.
Throughout the day these ions
collect and are produced lower
and lower down in the atmosphere.
At night this cloud of ions rises,
thus improving radio reception.
Reason for Two Layers
Upon discovery Of the heaviside
layers in 1928, the question at
once arose among scientists as to
the reason for there being two
separate layers, or barbados,
against which radio signals re-
bounded.
Ionization by direct action Of
the suns rays explained the outer
layer, but not the lower layer, so
miles up. DR.. Chapman suggested
that this layer was formed OF
"corpuscular" atoms" fired by the
pressure of light" at a speed Of
1000 miles a second from the sun.
AS their speed was slow COM
pared to the speed of light. which
travels, 10000 miles second,
they do not penetrate the earth's
atmosphere, but are checked and
gather in clouds at the point
where their lack of sufficient en-
ergy stops them, DR.. Chapman
theorized.
Measure the Layers
1t is in order to prove or dis
prove this theory that various
Canadian and British scientists
have concentrated in this section
of the dominion and will receive
assistance throughout the new
eclipse period from the Canadian
Marconi and British broadcasting
companies.
DR.. Eve said the central path Of
totality for the radio eclipse IS
roughly 100 miles west of the CEN
ter of the path of totality of the
optical eclipse at sites underneath
the portion of the heaviSide layers
from which the direct light Of the
sun will be blotted by the moon.
The scientists are gathered
along this route sending signals
directly upward and timing the
return of their echo to earth.
In this way they manage to
measure the height of the two
layers. When the new type
eclipse occurs they will measure
signals as rapidly as possible to
note the difference in the heights
caused by absence of the suns
rays and the pressure of light on
the electronic clouds.

MONTREAL, Aug. % Q.N.SO.
There will be two eclipseS of the
sun Wednesday, each with diff
ferent paths of totality and
occurring at different times.
Details of and plans for OBJ
serving the additional eclipse "a
radio eclipse) we're announced to-
day by Prof. A. S. Eve, head OF
McGill Observatory's eclipse ex'
petition.
The new type eclipse occurs
about two hours before the old.
fashioned optical eclipse, caused
by total obstruction of light from
the suns face by the body OF
the moon, sweeps downward
through this province and across
the upper New England States to
the sea.
Found in 1928
This is due to the fact that
the effects of the new-fangled
eclipse are produced in layers OF
the earth's atmosphere about 60
and $50 miles above the earth'S
crust. The period Of totality
occurs then much sooner than
with the optical eclipse, as the
world, in effect, is $50 miles
larger in diameter.
Although the ChaldeanS and
Babylonians observed optical
eclipSes and wrote about them
in 1000 B. c.. the occurrence OF
the new type eclipse was not sus-
pected until 1923.
In that year DR.. Sidney Chap
man, of England, announced his
"corpuscular theory to account
for the lower Of the two layers in
the earth's atmosphere. which
cause radio signals to bounce back
to earth and thus permit broad
casting over distances"
Form in Clouds
1t was agreed among scientists
that the outer "heaviside" layer,
as it is called, $50 miles up, was
due to the stripping off of cleo
irons from atoms of the earth's
