These Mallard ducks make daily trips across heavily
traveled Center Street near 17th. They are not in the
pedestrian traffic lane, but motorists, so far, have halted
their cars to permit them to take their time in wadding
across the street. In the picture they are on their way to
Mill Creek from Fred Riedesel's service station, where
they often pick up a few tidbits. Once across Center Street
they usually walk abreast down the sidewalk to Statesman
Street which they must cross before reaching the safety
of the lawns bordering Mill Creek. .
Interesting Questions by
Readers of Science Stories
By J., HUGH
DItuIo
The answers to the ques
tions of certain correspon
dents will likely be of inter
est to others.
1. "Are there places in the
world where the sun does not
cast a shadow?"
A ' leafy iree with the
branches well above the
ground will cast a shadow at
any time, if by "shadow" we
mean the darkened image
seen on the ground. But a
solid, narrow pole and
many other objects can be
so set that at certain times of
the day no ahadow can be
seen.

Let us consider a pole set
vertically in the ground. The
only time that an unclouded
sun would not cast a ahadow
would be when directly over
head, So the question resolves
Itself into this: "Are there any
places on the earth where the
sun is ever directly overhead
at noon?"
Yes, . there are plenty of
them, but we who live in the
temperate zonea never ob
serve the sun in the zenith. In
our part of the world the noon
sun is always south of over
head. In the southern tem
perate zonea the sun is al
ways north of this point. Its
distance from the zenith
varies with the time of year.
But in the torrid zone, that
strip which extends 23 de
grees both north and south of
the equator, the sun at noon
seems practically fn the zenith
I for a few daya each year. At
I the northern limit of this zone,
the Tropic of Cancer, vertical
I posts will be shadowlesa at
: noon about June 23; at the
' southern limit. Tropic of Cap-
ricorn, about December 22.
The noon sun will be vertical
: over the equator at the times
; of the equinoxes, March 21
' and September 23.
I ...
! 2. "Why len't It the hot
; test In ' January when the
earth is nearest the sun?"
; This is a very frequent
j question. If the axis of the
j earth stuck straight up from
i me piane ox us pain arouna
me sun, men an parts or me
earth would receive the great
est heat in January when it Is
3.000,000 miles nearer the sun
than In July. The difference
Is that in January the 23 W
degree tip of the earth's axis
makes our northern part of
the earth inclined away from
the sun so it does not get as
direct heat as in July. But the
southern part of the earth is
then "catching it," both be
cause of inclination and near
ness. ...
3. "Did the transit of Mer
cury across the face of the aun
take place November 14 as
predicted?"
Exactly. At (he wrtler's lo
cation we set up a telescope
to project a 15-inch Image of
the sun on a white paper
acreen. The transit lasted
over 2V4 hours but clouds in
terfered during all the time
excepting five "clear" min
utes around 8:30 a.m. Then
we had a fine picture of the
little round black spot on the
solar face.
