iod as contrasted with the night. This may lead to confusion in the minds of some amateur astron- omers. While the actual length of the tYenty-four hour day Is not ex- actly the same throughout the year, because of the earth's vary ing velocity in its orbital move ment and because of the fact that the earth's plane of revolution Is not the same as the plane of the earth's equator, 1t is the attitude of the sun in the sky and the varying lengths of the daylight period of the day which directly affect the general temperature. Both these effects are due to the inclination of the earth's rotation axis from the perpendicular to the orbital plane. If the earth's axis actually were, or through some catastrophe. became perpendicular to the or- bital plane, seasons would disap- pear and all places on the earth would uniform clnshrdlunhmrdlu would have uniform climatic con- ditions throughout the year. or course. conditions at any one To- cality would depend upon local surface factors as well as upon the latitude alone.
 The varying distance from the sun to the earth plays only an in- significant part in the production of the seasonal changes. The rela- tive importance of the two causes of seasonal change which have been mentioned above differ at diff ferent parts of the earth's sur face. At the equator, where days and nights are always practically equal, 1t is the high altitude at- tained by the sun which Is the more important; at tho poles the te .perature is never very high In spite of the continuous daylight period of six months because the altitude of the sun Is never very great. In our. attitudes both effects are important.

BAN ON WAR SEEN
IN LEAGUE MOVES
Statesmen Feel Duce Is
First Victim of New Gen
eraI Attitude.

1copyright 1885. by the Associated Press)
GENEVA, October 21.-The new
system of sanctions against Italy, de-
visad swiftly to cut short the warfare
in Ethiopia, was interpreted by League
of Nations statemen today as world
law for outlawry of war-all trans
gressors take notice!
The general view was that Premier
NusSolini was the first victim Of the
commandments against war, but that
the move went farther than that
the law laid down and the punishment
provided striking at all aggressors.
Mussolini was given time to reflect.
Unless his war in Ethiopia has been
halted by October 81, League nations
will fix the fateful date for unleash
ing an economic boycott against italy.
The y-nothing-from- Italy" pro-
gram, advanced by Anthony Eden Of
England, threatened by its repercus-
sions to strangle Italy's power to pur-
chase abroad the raw materials es-
sential to its national life.
Threefold Sanctions.
This was but part of the three
fold sanctions program pushed through
to establish League precedent after
the indictment Of Italy as an aggres-
sor nation.
An arms embargo was clamped on
Italy and lifted from Ethiopia, flnan-
cial sanctions were adopted to cut of
Italian cash and credits abroad, and
economic sanctionS-the boycott and
an embargo on exports of key prod
ucts to Italy-Were arranged.
A review of the historic Geneva
meetings showed the existence of two
schools of international opinion.
The first believes the prestige of the
British Empire might be reaffirmed as
never before for long decades In this
view. Britain was fighting Italy for
its place in the Mediterranean and
control of the sea route to India.
The second school of opinion-the
one more generally accepted-was
that the sanctions against Italy rep
resented a spontaneous attempt by
all League nations to strike mortal
blow at war.
Sacrifices Involved.
Another feature of the newly Gre
ated League law was that it involved
sacrifice by virtually all participating
nations.
League spokesmen said that up to
the present, international conferences
had failed seemingly because nations
attended them with the idea of get
ting something out of them for them
selves"
Now, they said, world leaders ap-
parently were awake to the realiza-
ton that they must themselves con-
tribute something in order to receive
a larger return later.

director of Science Service, told the
delegates.
In explaining the usefulness of mo-
ton pictures in research work, Davis
said:
"Micro-photography, the placing Of
reduced size images upon film or pa
per, appears to be a tool that will find
increasing usefulness in coming years.
Micro-p Photographic duplication prom
ises to take the library to the research
worker in isolated districts through
the fact that natural film copies Of
literature can be made and distributed
at less than a cent page"
