FRIDAY, JANUARY 9, 1925 EAST FAVORED IN TOTAL ECLIPSE NEW HAVEN, Conn., Jan. 9.—The eclipse of the sun which will be total on January 24, 1925, over Connecticut and parts of the states of New York, Michigan, and Wisconsin, will be studied at the observatories within the zone and other observatories will send expeditions into the zone bringing their own instruments. But anyone can do some observing on his own account without anything to assist him except a bit of smoked glass and perhaps a pair of binoculars. One or two of the things he can do may be of service to astronomy. For hundreds of years we have been trying to find out the exact path of the moon in the sky. Indeed the first records go back more than 2500 years when the Chaldeans found out a rule about the occurrence of eclipses. With every year this knowledge increases and an eclipse is a particularly favorable occasion to improve it because the edges of the shadow cast by the moon on the earth can be easily seen. And the exact time that the shadow passes can be obtained within a fraction of a second by a good observer. The astronomer can predict the positions of these edges within a mile or so, but it can be observed much more closely than this. It is very easy for anyone near the edge to say whether the sun was totally eclipsed or not at the place where he happens to be. There are several ways in which this can be done. As the moon creeps over the face of the sun and covers up more and more of it, there will finally be left a narrow crescent of the shape of the new moon, but of course very much brighter. If this narrow crescent completely disappears, even for less than a second, the eclipse is total at the place where the observer is stationed. It may be that before it has totally disappeared a bright point of the sun will appear at another part of the edge, and if this happens, the eclipse is not total. A difference in position of the observer of even a hundred yards may make the difference between a total eclipse and one which is not quite total. When the sun is very nearly obe-sured a fringe of light will begin to be visible on the side farther away from the bright crescent. As the crescent lessens this fringe will appear to spread around the edge, and finally, when the crescent of bright light has totally disappeared, the fringe will be seen all round. Hence another test for totality is for the observer to say whether he saw this fringe of light the whole way round at any moment. Even before the crescent of the sun has disappeared, stars will begin to be visible to those who are on the lookout for them, but it is not until the sun is totally obscured that any but the brightest stars are seen. If winter comes, can spring hats be far behind? Modernism: Ethyl gas, methyl alcohol and a lethal weapon. Slowly but surely, cemetery by cemetery, the meek inherit the earth.

Your Cross Word Puzzle HOW TO SOLVE THE CROSS WORD PUZZLE The way to solve the Cross Word Puzzle is to fill in the white squares of the diagram with the words which agree with the accompanying definitions. The definitions are numbered to correspond with the numbers on the diagram. Any word defined in the text under "HORIZONTAL" will begin at its number, shown in the diagram, and will extend all the way across to the first black space to the right of that number. That is, the word must begin in the square that contains its identifying number, and extend as far as the white squares continue uninterruptedly.

STRAUS (President American Society for Thrift) Workmen digging an excavation for a building in a southern city recently unearthed a small, hard-rubber matchcase containing four $50 greenbacks. The match container is believed to have been lost by a soldier during the Civil war. The incident serves to illustrate a very forceful lesson in thrift. The notes bear 6 per cent interest, payable semi-annually, and are dated December 15, 1864. Through the processes of compound interest, they had a value of $6,942.20 on December 15, 1924. In other words, the original $200 increased in value more than 34 times during the 60 years that elapsed. We often hear of tremendous profits in some kind of enterprise and often we read of fabulous wealth acquired as if by magic by someone. As a matter of fact, such actual occurrences are rare and only take place in connection with some unusual or freakish circumstance. But when we think of money lying hidden in the ground and increasing in value more than 34 fold within the not common span of a human life, we find that even in finance truth is stranger than fiction. It is to be borne in mind, of course, that there is nothing commendable in simply hoarding money. The fact that money prudently invested piles up with great rapidity, through compound interest, should serve as a reminder of the efficacy of thrift and patient saving to those who are under the delusion that wealth can be acquired only by some violent stroke or some feat of skillful manipulation. There is but one royal road to wealth, and that is thrift. John McCormack, owner of the world's most famous tenor voice, has finally yielded to the radio-broadcast urge. He is seen hurling gold-plated notes into the ether from a New York station. Lucrezia Bori, famed prima donna, has also joined the radio ranks as you see. Lane's Sat.
