NUMBER 164 UNIQUE TYPE 0 IF SOLAR STUDY IS SHOYRSTUDENTS Traveling Car Carries Complete Equipment for Astronomical Work; New Inventions Dem onstrated. (By Alan Lowenstein) When University students went to Swain hall yesterday noon for lunch, they saw in front of New West building a pecu liarly shaped car with a high roof, with drapes over the side which seemed to be concealing something, and sleeping accom modations in'si de. Another trav eling exhibit had come to the University. On the sides of the roof in the front of the car on both .sides were signs reading, "Astronomy." By 1 o'clock when most of the students were fin ished for the day a large crowd had gathered to satisfy their curiosity about the exhibit. David Philips, the proprietor ' of the car, entered town early yesterday morning with his ex hibit on the solar system, the stars and the relation of the moon to, the earth. He has two devices on the side of his car which have been invented by him to make the study of the heavens simpler and more un derstandable . to x the ordinary student, ,The first device, called the "lunarian," shows the phe nomena Of the moon and why the moon is retarded. The second the "astroteluri- h,: displays ithe, solart system ? with its principal members grouped about as they are now in the sky. A movable object representing the earth with a night" shadow on the ball marked with the equator, the tropics, and the polls, moves about the sun and explains the seasons, day and night, and why the sun moves north and south during the year. This is claimed to be the most complete exhibit of its "kind in the coun try. Mr. Philips i3 an amateur as tronomer with inventive ability who is attempting to advertise and sell his inventions. He has been interested in astronomy for the past seven years and has worked on his two inventions for the past five years. He has con stantly improved them both. Most of the recent changes have been to make them cheaper and more practicable. Mr. Philips is a Massachusetts man, but he has been working in recent years in Florida from where he has just come. He holds letters of commendation for his work from the chief as tronomer at the United States naval observatory, and from of ficials of the University of Flor ida and Florida State College. Since leaving these two last named institutions he has trav eled gradually north and he in tends finally to reach Harvard. Mr. Philips hopes to sell some of his inventions to colleges and state educational systems. He expressed the belief that every state should have two or three, of such cars to send around to the public schools and in that way teach the students astron omy in a simple'manner.; Mr. Philips intends to be in Chapel Hill ! for two days, leav ing tomorrow morning. He has with him a five and five-eighths Brashear telescope, an instru ment oftexeellent make. He set it .up yesterday afternoon and Continued on last pass)
