Prof, ; . Claude E. Hall, jr., of the Maryland Academy of Science, will not include any plane? tary movements of phenomenal char acter. '..:... -.':-. ,: : There will be two eclipses of the sun, an annular eclipse on March 27, when the moon's shadow is not quite as large as the sun, and a total eclipse that will occur September 20. There will be no eclipse of the moon within the year. . . ' There will; however, be several oc culations, none of them very bright, when the moon will come between the earth and a star. Among them will be occulation of Alpha Tauri, a star of first magnitude, the occulation of which will occur on September 12. 1 There will be two occulations of La ba Gcminorum, a star of third mag- i nitude, that occur January 12 and 1 May 8. 1 The most important event of 1922 will be the opposition of the planet j Mars which will mark the closest ap proach to the earth thirty-five mil lion miles within the past thirty . years. In the year 1924 Mars will come still nearer the earth to within thirty-two million miles which will af ford astronomers of this planet a wonderful opportunity to view the surface of Mars at relatively close range. Encke's comet that appears every five and a half years, is due to ap pear to the inhabitants of the earth during the present year, but upon no fixed date. On Christmas Eve, 1922, Mars and Uranus come within seven minutes of arc of each other, which is uncom monly neighborly for these rather un social planetary bodies. It is note worthy that astronomical calculation recently made at the Maryland Acad emy of Sciences observatory in re!a tionto the position of the moon, which is slightly out of its accustomed orbit, agree with those made at the Royal Observatory, England. tion of a few nuclei, the hearts of atoms, to give simpler nuclei," -Professor -Taylor said.

Hunting -up land owners and titles to property which has becomp a bi isk business in this section since the dis covery of oil at Mexia, near here, has brought to light some strange things. Only a few days ago Thomas Rogers, of Fort Worth, came upon a cabin in the hills, several miles from the nearest railroad point. An aged wom an told Rogers her name was Sarnan thy Johnson and that she was l7 years old. "You do not own this land?" Mr. Rogers questioned, "The title is in the name of Washington Johnson; I sup pose he is your son." "No, sah!" the woman replied. "Dat's my pappy. He's loafin' around here somewhere this minute. Wait, and I'll call him." Then ambled up-to the cabin old man Johison. "Are you Washington Johnson?'' "Indeed, I is," was the reply. "How old are you?" "I never jes figured it out, but I was born in 1801, back in Virginny." "That makes you 120 years old, he was told. "Do you still feel spry?" "Jes' as spry as a colt," was the reply.
