Wood, of the Uni versity of Wisconsin, in Science for April 27th, makes a request for co-op - , eration by amateur observers "in the eclipse 'belt. There is a very singular phenomenon observing during- the moments imme diately preceding; and following- total solar eclipses, that has, up to th pres ent time, never been satisfactorily ex- - plained so far as I know. Just before ' totality, usually about one minute be fore (alternate bright and dark bands are observed sweeping across the coun try. These have been called shadow bands by some observers, and diff rac tf on bands by others. They can be observed to the best advantage by laying a large piece of white cloth on the ground. , In some eclipse reports they are styled "diffraction bands bordering the moon's shadow." Fringes bordering a shadow should, however, move with the speed of the shadow. Observations show that the dark bands move quite slowly, from ten to twenty feet per, second, while the shadow of the moon rushes across the country at cannon ball speed. Moreover, they move in one direction before the eclipse, and: in the opposite direction after. The only half way plausible explanation that I have evert heard offered for the shadow bands is that they may be due to striae in the atmosphere. This would bring them under the head of the scintillation phenomena treated of somewhat extensively in advanced works on optics, but I am unable to see how any such regular and sym metrical distribution of light and shade can result in this way. That the dis tance between the bands varies on dif ferent occasions lends some plausibili ty to this explanation, but it is not impossible that the width of the bands is a function of the location of the point of observation, that is to say of its distance from the center of the eclipse track. This can only be de termined by numerous and extensive observations covering a wide tract of country, and it is to secure as many data as possible on this subject that I . desire to secure the co-operation of all who are interested in the subject. Observations just outside of and just within the track of totality will be of especial interest. - The observations caa be made without any apparatus, and as ' the bands are not visible during totality, their observation will not in convenience any who are more inter ested in the spectacular than : in the scientific side. I desire to secure, if possible, a com plete record of the appearance of the bands over the entire country, togeth er, with statements regarding the direc tion of the wind, condition of the air, etc. The bands can be best observed by spreading a-sheet or other, large white cloth on the ground. As soon as the moving shadows appear, which will probably be about a minute before totality, lay a. lathe on'fhe sheet paral lel to the. shadows, with as great ac curacy as possible. Then try to es timate the width of the bands, and the velocity with which they are moving, also the direction in which they are going, that is whether from east' to west, or west to east. The width of the bands can be best determined, I imag ine (I have never seen them), by esti mating the width of a group, say five or six, or as wide a baunch as the eye can grasp and follow with certainty as to the number of dark bands" in it. A scale for reference, preferably a white board with feet and half feet marked with strong black lines, will be of assistance. It should be laid perpen dicular to the shadows, that is at right angles; to the lathe.. The speed can be estimated by trying to keep up with the moving shadows, and may be re corded as slow walk, fast walk, slow run, etc. Those who are accustomed to counting quarter seconds, can prob ably make a fair estimate of the speed by noting the time of transit of a band across the sheet. The shadows will disappear at the moment of totality, but will reappear again as soon as the sun's edge emerges from behind the -moon. A second lath should be la on the sheet, parallel to the bands un less their direction is the same, and the same observations repeated, noting whether the direction of motion is re versed. After the eclipse is over, de termine the direction of the two laths as accurately as possible with the com pass, and measure the angle between them. Note the direction of the kind ... before and after the eclipse, and record the general atmospheric conditions. , , BEFORE TOTALITY. 1. Direction of the bands. 2.

Dingelhoef, Optician, No. 123 Market street. Dr. Dingelhoef does not treat .medically or surgically, his profession being of the scientific adjustment of glasses to the eye: Dear Doctor: On coming to you I could not see the large headlines in the newspapers. My eyes were in a very bad condition and steadily growing worse. I really be lieve that I would bave been totally blind ere this had I not consulted you. 'Thanks to your skill I am able to do my work with comparative ease, seeing everything perfectly. I also suffered incessantly with headache, neuralgia and inflamed eyes, which your glasses . have entirely relieved. -i With the distant glasses, I am able to see as far as I ever could, with per fect east and comfort. I am now able to read the finest print either by day or artificial light, your glasses, and can even read with out them during the day, so much have rthey improved. I am writing this letter without the aid of the glasses, so you can readily see the wonderful im provement in my vision. I am more -than pleased with your work and wish you continued, success in your profes sion. . Have that piano tuned by the most thorough and oompeltent man we ever pmnWwi.

The American pa vilion at the exposition was formally turned over to the authorities and pub lic this afternoon. The inauguration took place in the presence of embassy and consulate officials, a number of high French functionaries, foreign diplomats and commissioners and such a concourse of American citizens that many who were provided with tickets were unable to gain admittance to the building. , I Before the hour set for the ceremony the. crowd became so dense that orders were given to the police' to keep the people at a respectful distance from the doors. The French officers adhered so strictly to the letter of their in structions that even guests holding in vitation tickets were not allowed to pass. Considerable confusion resulted from this cause and the United States ambassador, General Horace Porter, with his party, found their passage barred until an official perceiving him from the building hastened to meet him, and the ambassador's party scrambled through. The interior Of the building was brightly decorated with American flags and tri-color bunting, with which the balconies were draped, while from the summit of the dome around the golden eagle flew the Stars and Stripes and the French flag. The balconies were occupied exclusively by invited guests, while on the floor of the building a double line of American sruards. with white summer helmets, formed an aisle xnrougn wnich the official party pass ed from the, main entrance to the spot where the presentation took place. Be hind the guards, the Americans who gained admittance, stood and witnessi ed the proceedings. -j. The ceremony of transferrins: th nai vilion was quite simple, consisting of an aaaress oy Ferdinand W. Peck, cunuiuMiuner or tne United States, naiiaing; over tne building to M. Al fred Pickard as the head of the ex-i position, and the latter's response in accepting the ceremony. Sousa's band provided music and the" selections piayea were composed purely of Ameri can airs except for the "Marseillaise.1 Mr. Peck reached, the pavilion about z o ciock to await the arrival nf m Picard, who, escorted by B. D. Wood ward, assistant United States commis sioner, entered the exposition eraf p. .t the Invalides bridge at 2:30 o'clock and proceeded Immediately along the Qua! d'Orsay to the entrance of the Ameri can building;, which faces th Seinp. After a brief glance at the equestrian s.tatue of Washington, which guards the portals of the American national pavilion, M. Picard ascended the steps leading to the door. Here Mr. : Peck stood surrounded by the members of the United States commission, and1 as he welcomed the French commissioner general, Sousa's band struck up the Marseillaise." All the spectators at once uncover ed, and, amid "the strains, of the Frencri nymn, M. Picard conducted Mr. Peck to the centre of the rotunda. The au aience greeted the conclusion of -the air with cheers, which M. Picard ac knowledged. No time was lost in the proceedings, with the ceremony, Mr, Peck delivering his address and M. ncara replying in a brief, but elo quent speech, which evoked enthusias tic hurrahs from the audience. At the conclusion of M. Picard's re marks a general reception was held Sousa's band gave a concert during the remainder of the afternoon. COTTON GROWERS' CONFERENCE Meeting of the Cotton Growers at Ma- con to Take Action for Self Protec tion. - Macon, Ga., May 12. The cotton growers' convention held at v Macon to day was one of the largest conven tions of representative planters and business men ever held in Georgia. The convention was called for the pur- pose of affecting an organization of the' cotton planters which would enable them to secure better price for cotton. Five hundred delegates were pres ent, representing every county in the state, and including .planters, ware housemen, manufacturers, bankers, merchants and lawyers. The convention was addressed by Hon. Hoke Smith, Hon. Pope Brown- president of the State Agricultural Society; Hon. J. F. Hanscon, "Harvey T" 3 T" -M " 1 9 -1 j m joruan, i. j3. .ungusn ana omers. ? Mr. Smith in his address said in sub! stance that the south's cotton crop is further-reaching in its effect than any oher product of the soil, its aggregate annual value being over $300,000,000. H stated that during the last 100 years the money paid for cotton raised in the United States amounted to fifty billion dollars; of this amount, eleven billion dollars was received for cotton exported. He said that in fifty years the consumption of cotton had increas ed from 2,500,000 bales annually to 18,- 000,000 annually; an increase of 700 per cent. He advised the farmers of the south to organize so as to control the' marketing of their - crop on such a basis as would secure to them its real value. The convention concluded wjth the organization of the Georgia Cotton Growers' Association. The plan upon which the work of or ganizing the farmers is to be effected was referred to the committee on or ganization and the executive commit tee jointly the convention ratifying, in advance, any plan that might be adopted. Macon was chosen as permanent headquarters of the association. Try Alien's Foot-Ease. A powder to be shaken into the shoes. Your feet feel swollen, nervous andl hot, and get tired easily.
