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
