HfarIDBRSON, (K.C.,) DAILY DISPATCH TUESSDAY, AUGUST 30, 1032 Y Although Tame Event Scientifically Total Solar Eclipse Will Be Popular Inadequate Starry Background May Prove Disappointing to Astrono mers but New England, Which W ill* Get Best Performance, Is Ad vertising Phenomeno n to Attract Tourists Illustration shows the path which % (he trial solar eclipse of Aug. 31. 1 persons in niosi By CHARLES P. STEWART i Washington, Aug. 30—The total solar eclipse scheduled for Aug. 31 will be a rarely popular event of Us kind. but. astronomically considered, rather humdrum, according to P>«c tor' James Robertson of the Almanac Office at the Naval Observatory. It will be popular because the moor's shadow will travel across a very thickly sealed earthy region, wr.ere there will be plenty of folk to ace it. It will not add greatly to science's store of information, however. Beginning in the north polar neigh borhood at dawn, the belt, of the occu- Ration's totality will awing to the southeastward across Hudson biy; across Canada, about midway between Quebec and Ottawa (Montreal will be within the edge of it); across northern Vermont, most of New Hampshire, southern Maine and the extreme northeastern corner of Massachusetts; Uhen trend out to sea and finally lift , in mid-Atlantic, approximately on the 40th degree west longitude and a lutle to the south of the 160th degree north latitude, to be exact. New England Favored As a partial eclipse, the show will be visible (with fair skies) all over North America and even a trifle south of it, but the strip of totality, of course will get the cream of tihe perform ance. The beauty of It is the New Engand and southern Quebec, in the favored territory, are summer tourist areas, anyway. This added attraction comes at an ideal tJme of year for them and natu- j rally they ar emaking the mo3t of it 1 in fact, advertising it. with a certain | sort of implied suggestion, In some of j theur publicity, that if is a feature I which they are pputtlng on this season j at great expense, for the especial benefit of their customer*. Nothing has been overlooked. The exhibition is due to start, at the international line, about 2.20 p. m., or just the right hour for an aft ernoon entertainment. True, It will continue, at its maximum, only for an inshant at any given point. This sha dow move* at tremendous speed. Spectators must also accept the risk of'toad weather, but lata August ordi jyijily jig pitAiAht on the north Atlan fHi be Liken by «he moon’* shadow a : t will he visible as a total eclipse on of Narth America will view it as a tic seaboard. * HE Jt Accurate Forecast Upon one thing visitors can count with absolute certainty —the shadow will pass exactly where Directot Rob ertson of the Alamanac Office has charted it to pass, or almost exactly. Cases are of record in which ex ceedingly bad guesses have been made on eclipses. One* reckoning might be mentioned (it was made a long while ago. indeed, and far in advance of the eclipse it was intended to apply to) which was 600 miles wide of the path that the shadow actually was pre-des- Wned to follow. Astronomers admit that there are uncertainties as to the movements of the> heavenl ybodies which make an absolutely infallible calcultion impos sible, but Director Robinson not only smiles at the idea of a 600-miJe error; he has surpassed the degree of accu racy which the Lick observatory ex perts had previously pronounced the , closest that mathematics could come j to hair-line precision in dealing wiih such problems. Thai Is to say. the Lick authorities maintained that 500 feet was the least variation attainable in figuring, in ad vance. flhe route of any solar occuJa tion. but. Director Robertson figured the Pacific coast eclipse of a couple of years ago or thereabouts, in this country, within 100 feet —a world'3 rec ord. Scientifically Tame Spectacular as this month’s eclipse Will be, from the standpoint of lay ob servers, it will be a scientifically tame affair. Director Robertson 'explains, due to the small number of stars which will be visible in the sun's vi cinity when it lakes pplaoe. ' By comparisons between sun and nearby stars, when an eclipse affords an opportunity for them, students of the heavens draw important conclu sions. and an ecllpae with an inade quate starry background is disap pointing. Not that it will be disregarded. A Naval Observatory staff under Capt. C. J. Keppler will watch It (weather permitting) In its every detail, through a 65-foot telescope, mounted on a tow er atop a high hill between Limerick and Llndngton. Me., and more or leas qew information dqubUees will toe cross the face of the earth during ly alon:j the black line, although partial eclipse. gathered. "But the earliest really enlighten ing eclipse of the future," says Direc tor Robertson, "will take place Feb. 13 and 14 (two dates for the reason and the moon’s shadow will cross the date line in miid-Pacific), 1934.” Others Calculated This eclipse the director already has fully calculated, as he has many oth ers, in response to requests from all parts of t.he world —Japan, for example which will have one to observe on June 19, 1936; Germany, June 8, 1937, et cetra.

TOMORROW JOAN BLONDELL STUART ERWIN —in— "MAKE ME A STAR" 10c Th Everybody Coming: Thursday—F riday LIONEL BARRYMORE —ln— WASHINGTON MASQUERADE However, as to the occulatijn of 1934? The shadow will first touch the earth's surface over north Borneo, cross the Pacific in a northeasterly direction, and lift some distance west of Alaska. It will be a fine eclipse, since it will appear against a large group of stars, affording a n opportunity for conclu sions of the utmost value to be drawn; to furnish an admirable test of the Einstein tiheoiy of the curvature of space, among other things. But, as it dellberatly designed to make science's task as hard as possi ble, throughout its entire length, ex cept for north Gorneo, where the eclipse will be at too early a stage for satisfactory observation, the belt of total darkness will avoid every speck of land save two mlid-pcean pin points, close together, known as Lo ss p and Orluk islands-so small that they appear only on pilots' charts. Uncle am Will Watch Nevertheless, the Naval Observa tory will have an astronomical expe dition on the job when tne lunar sha dow passes over those twi islets IS months hence. It has investigated them already. They have harborage, three or four hundred aboriginal inhabitants and produce a few coconuts. One may surmise that those three or four hundred natives will be surprised about Feb. 1, 1934. when an Ameri can warship drops anchor and lands a score or so of scieniists with a Gl foot telescope. Later, probably the eclipse will surprise them more yet. TROY LEE MOORE, JR., PASSES ON MONDAY Trov Moore, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. T.
