pating with mounting excitement
one Of the greatest events IN their
careers an unobstructed view Of the
total eclipse Of the sun on Tuesday.
Years Of scientific training, thou
sands Of dollars worth Of instru-
ments, intercontinental air flights
and long months Of careful prepara-
ton have been expended all for the
forthcoming three minutes and 48
seconds OF expert observation.
The period Of Sotality will begin at
81 minutes and 48 seconds after z

This eclipse will be the most COM

Tuesday morning, on quiet plain
400 air miles north of Rio de Janeiro,
man will expertly perform hundred
scientific tests as the moon passes
between the earth and the sun. In

also will be making observations.
The scientists from the United

mounted some of the worlds most
powerful astronomical instruments
for the observation.
Their experiments include meas
,rement of the bending of starlight
passing near the sun, affording q
check on the Einstein theory of rela-
tivity. Such measurements can be
taken only during an eclipse.
Other experiments will include
measurement Of changes of the tenn
perature Of the air during an eclipse;

between Two organized ice out
fits in Toledo this season.
Andy Mulligan, coach and
manager of the Mercurys, says

amount on a reserved or box
