Umbrella Astronomy.

IF IN doubt about the relative posi-
tons OF the North Star and Vega,
get an old umbrella and make plane
tarium George Hicks, announcer, ad-
vised before he began 7,000-mile
journey to the South Seas, where, on
June 8, he will describe the longest
total eclipse Of the sun in 200 years.
Hicks thought he should know some
thing about astronomy, since he was
assigned to the job Of announcing the
many programs to be broadcast In
connection with the National Geo.
graphic Societys solar eclipse expedi-
ton. So, in talking with Col. Oscar
Fogg, Of New York, an amateur astron-
omer of the first rank, he discovered a
simple method for learning the lay
out Of the heavens That is where the
umbrella comes in.
The inner surface of an umbrella.
he found, makes an excellent model Of
the sky. Upon it Hicks drew the ma
jor stars and consultations: the North
Star Vega, Cassiopeia, Capella and
the Dipper. Having them all in their
proper positions, he dropped the edge
of his model over a table edge, repre-
senting the horizon. Rotation of the
umbrella takes the place Of the earth's
rotation. BY comparing text books on
astronomy with his planetarium ard
this, in turn, with the heavens them
selves, Hicks found he was able to fix
firmly In mind the position of most of
the important stars and consultations.
