lands and the continent of Aus

Pacific Ocean, he said.
This trail of the shadow will be
about 11S miles wide, the dura
tion of totality at different point
will vary from three to six min
utes and Professor Frobt declared
to be an unusually long- eclipse.
Expeditions from various astron
omical Institutions will be estab
lished at favorable points to study
the eclipse. John Everched. di
rector of the observatory st Kod.il
kanal, India, will make his obser
vations from the Malulve islands.
Astronomers from the ltoyal Ob
servatory at ffreenwlch England,
have established a station on
Christmas Island. A party from
Batavla, Dutch Indies, also will be
located at Christmns Island and
will be joined by Dr. FreunJlioh
from the Einstein laboratory at the
Potsdam Observatory. Prof. W. W.
Campbell with a party from the
Lick Observatory will he a'.s'.loned
at Wallal, Australia. Prof. Chant
of the University Observatory at
Toronto will be with this group.
"The total eclispse of the sun
always has been one of nature's
most thrilling spectacles," said
Professor Frost. "It gives a mo-
THE
mentory glimpse of the mysterious
veil surrounding the sun, called
the corona, which Is never visible
at any other time.
"Gigantic rosy eruptions of flow
ing gas also may be seen along the
rtm of the eclipsed sun."
On September 10. 192S, he said,
a total eclipse will touch the coast
of the United States at Santa IHnr
hara and near San IMegu, Calif.
Thei Islands o the Pacific Coast,
notably Banta Catallna, will be
well situated for stations. The
track of the shadow will sweep
southeast across Mexico. Prepa
rations for observing the eclipse
already have been started by sev
eral American observatories.
After the one of 1923. the next
total solar eclipse that can be ob-
I served under favorable conditions
in United States will be on August
21, 2017.
Kinstoln Theory Comes
Under Text Form. '
New tests of the validity of Ein
stein's theory of relativity will be
possible with the total solar eclipse
on September 21. according to
Professor Ed win B. Krost of the
University of Chicago.
The theory requires, he said,
that the rays of light from a dis
tant star should be bent out of
their straight path when they pass
within the field of attraction of a
great body like the sun. But stars
whose light passes close to the rim
of the blazing sun cannot be photo
graphed except on these rare occa

before the war the Latvians, who
through centuries of history were

their efficiency as workers. Their

They paid all their own govern
