ECLIPSE OF SUN EXCITES
INTEREST OF SCIENTISTS

and the Central Astronomical observa-
tory at Pulkova, Russia, are expected.
Most Of the observations to be made
by these astronomers, II cloudy

preparations In vain. will be photo
graphs Of the solar corona. The CO.
roma is the outermost part of the sun,
so faint that 1t is generally invisible
because Of the great glare from the
light of the Nner part. When the
solar disk is lowered by the moon, at
the time Of 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 IS
feet long, spectroscoplc photographs
will be made Of the corona to deter
mine its composition and motion. 9th
er spectroscopic observations will be
Of the flash spectrum, seen when the
last silver Of sun Is visible just before
the moon completely covers 1t, or
when the first bit reappears just after
the total phase is over. Such observa-
lions 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 1t sweeps over the earth. One OBJ
servation that has engaged the atten-
ton Of astronomers at recent eclipses
will be lacking, however. This is the
photography of stars close to the sun,
to determine whether their light is
DETECTED by the solar gravitation, as
predicted by Elnstein. There will be
no stars sufficiently bright in the suns
neighborhood at the time Of the Au-
gust eclipse.

NEW DESTROYERS WILL
BEAT ALL In THEIR GLASS

Washington.-The FIVE American de-
stroyers now under construction will
be the fastest and most powerful YES
sells OF their class ever built in the
United States, according to naval Off
Gals. These war vessels will have a
designed speed Of 36la knots, or ap-
proximately 40 miles an hour, COM
pared to the present 35-mlle speed of
the fleets best destroyer types.
The new warships will have five
nve-inch guns. compared with four
four-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 seaworthl-
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
0estroyers will be 1880. Their
radius Of action also has been en-
1arged.
OF the 100 needed by the fleet to
modernize its destroyer tonnage, but
four are building. One more will be
laid down this summer or fall.
Seven others now authorized and
and one appropriated for were pigeon
holed by President Hoover.
Naval officers stated also that an
experimental flying boat and a single
scatter pursuit plane have been de-
veloped which represent distinct ad-
vance over earlier types. The bomb
ing plane has four engines and without
a load can travel 5000 miles. 1t can

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, admonlshed
as to Its attendance in the future,
and TO he condemned In the costs of
the proceedings"

VIEW 1Ork.-A new recOEu lOt hhe
number of astronomical parties OBJ
serving a 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-
tlons 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 1S5 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
yersity. 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,

society, London.

Color Blindness

Some persons are unable to dis
tinguish colors and are therefore
called "color blind" This defect
may be Unborn or a result of long
strained attention to colors. 1t
Is incurable and no glasses have

Extreme cases can distinguish no
colors other than black and white,
but the majority are color blind

BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

Parents should agree about their
children-about the manner of
upbringing and the general methods
Of discipline.
Nothing upSets child more than
to receive two opposing orders and
to have to decide which parent to
obey His father says he must do
one thing, his mother another, and
the one whom he crosses is going
to be very diSagreeable about it.
He has no feeling of obedience,
then, if he fails to please both, and
that, under such circumstances, is
impossible.
This is very bad state of
affairs. 1t is unfair to the child
and unfair to ourselves and wise
parents will try very earnestly to
have a complete understanding
about each others ideas.
Parents Should Agree
They will discuss privately a gen.
eral plan to pursue with each child
and support each other in attempt
ing to carry it out.
Each child is different, has diff
ferent faults and tendencies, and a
certain disposition peculiar to him
self. Parents should know their
children and what to anticipate and
then work together.
Fathers are likely to be too stern
according to the ideas of mothers,
and mothers are too soft and easy
if we voice their husbands thoughts.
Dad does too much correcting and
mother too much protecting. That
appears to be the general state of
affairs in most homes where there
are children.
Now as 1t happens, both are right
according to their lights. The very
conflict that wakes so hot between
the male and female parent is the
precise point of contention in the
field of child guidance today.
Father Represents Law"

sents freedom-the father, law or

meeting point is the most talked-of
question in child science at the
moment.
The result is that freedom is on
the gain, thank goodness! but not
at the expense of duty, happy obedi-
ence, responsibility, or work.
Each child has to be prepared for
life, and this is where 1 think IA
theirs are likely to be more far
sighted than mothers.
But they can go to extremes and
fill child with nervous terror, in
feriority, resentment and all sorts
of ruinouS things unless they are
careful. A child's love and friend
ship will serve a father far better
than fear.
Mothers do not realize that much
of their coddling is selfish, that they
use it as lure to hold love.
Fathers seem to sense this and it
antagonizes them. They accuse
their wives of too much leniency
and go to extremes to counterfeit it:
The best way is as 1 have sug-
gested, to get together and honestly
talk over Johnny'S or Mary's case
and go about their task intelligently
together.
If there is any diSagreeing to do,
it should take place out of earShot.
QuarrelS in the presence of children
about what is best for them instant
ly- weaken respect.
And the child under discussion
usually goes out and does as he
pleaSeS.
