Eclipse .... long one due
The next total eclipse of the sun
will be visible In most parts of New
England! on August 31 this year.
The moon's shadow will pass across
the face of the sun In the afternoon,
about 3:28 o'clock standard time,
and the total eclipse will last for
almost three minutes. Most total
eclipses last only a few seconds, so
astronomers are looking forward to
this one and hoping for clear weath
er. In the expectation that their
photographic Instruments will re.
veal more than is yet known about
the elements which exist in the sun.
Outside of the black disk of the
moon's shadow Which obscures the
sun's face in a total eclipse, huge
flames shoot out, sometimes as far
as 100,000 miles, from the body of
the sun. These are burning gases,
the colors of which, as seen through
the spectroscope, tell what they
are composed of. It is known that
a large part of this flaming mass
which we call the sun is Iron, heat
ed to a point where it vaporizes. Al
most every other mineral found on
earth has also been detected in
these sun gases, but science is still
trying to learn.
Whether the sun is getting hotter
or cooler is a matter of great im
portance to all mankind. A drop of
a few degrees in the average heat
received by the earth from the sun
would mean a return of the Ice Age,
when glaciers a mile thick formed
as far south as Kentucky; an in
crease of a degree or so in sun heat
would start palm trees and sugar
cane growing in Labrador.
Fat
jazz king loses
A couple of years ago the fattest
man in the public eye was Paul
Whiteman, the . famous orchestra
leader, who weighed more than 300
pounds. I dined with the ' Jazz
King" the other night, the first time
I had seen him for several years,
and was amazed to find him weigh
ing less than 200.-
"I eat just as much as I ever did,"
he said, "but I divide up my meals
differently. On the day when I eat
starches, for example, I don't eat
meat or fruit. One day I'll eat only
fruit, another day only meat, It's
the mixing of all kinds of food In
the stomach at one time which
makes fat"
Maybe it won't work for every
body, but the diet system that the
present Mrs. Whiteman worked out
and made Paul adopt before she
would marry him, by the way
certainly has had a great effect in
his case.
Wood . . . worth fortunes
Ever hear of Andiroba? Or Cas-
tanheira? Those are the names of
some of the new kinds of lumber
that have been cut on Henry Ford's
Brazilian rubber plantation, and
which have been brought to the
United States for use In cahinet
making. Other rare and new va
rieties of tropical woods which
may be expected to come into use
for making fine furniture because
of their beauty of color and grain,
and their hardness, are Muiracoa
tiara, Abiu Branco, Massaranduba,
Amargaso, 'Angolim Pedra, Sucu
pira, Mamrella, Pau d'Arco, Jutahy,
Uxy, Tatajuba and Tauba.
The pursuit of new and rare va
rieties of wood fit for the use of the
cabinetmaker is one of the most In
teresting fields of adventure, In
which hundreds of men are engag
ed. A single log which can be cut
for veneers may be worth thous
ands of dollars; a shipload of cer
tain South American woods would
be worth a comfortable fortune;
There are still millions of square
miles of forests which have never
been explored, and the men who
can discover in them new sources
of fine woods can name their own
price, almost, for their finds.
Soil . . . and soilless crops
They've been experimenting with
"soilless" farming at the University
of California, and have proved,
pretty conclusively it seems, that
most crops can be grown without
any soil at all. All that is needed
is water and fertilizer.
All that makes one soil different
from another Is the kind and quan
tity of plant food nitrogen, phos
phoric acid and potash that each
contains. Immense crops of celery,
potatoes, berries, tomatoes and oth
er vegetables are grown in some
parts of Florida where the sandy
soil -contains naturally almost no
plant food. Fertilizers do the work.
It is hardly likely that the staple
crops, wheat, cotton, corn and the
like, will ever be grown commercial
ly except on soils adapted to them
but it is entirely possible that most
of the vegetable and small-fruit
crops of the future will be grown
in wire baskets suspended in water,
in which the essential plant foods
In their proper proportions have
been dissolved.
"Ike" . . with a "double-0"
Up till 1929, for thirty-five years
or so, any letter addressed to "Mr.
Hoover, The White House, Wash
ington," would have been delivered
to "Ike" Hoover, who has been the
major-domo of the Executive Man
sion since the days of President
McKinley. Few people outside of
Washington realize that there are
two Mr, Hoovers in the White
House, for Ike is still on the job,
and the next tenant of the White
House will probably keep him there.
He manages the President's domes
tic arrangements, bosses the cooks,
chauffeurs and servants generally,
and his official title is "steward of
the White House,"
Somebody asked Ike Hoover the
other day who he thought would
be his next boss. He replied:
"I don't know who it is going to
be, but he will have a double 'o' in
his name, the same as mine."

In Late Afternoon
It was very late in the afternoon
in Galilee. The dozen men who had
walked all day over the dusty roads
were hot and tired. The sight of
a village was very cheering, as they
looked down on it from the top of
a little hill. Their leader sent two
members of the party ahead to ar
range for accommodations, while
he and the others sat down by the
roadside to wait
After a bit the messengers were
seen returning, and even at a dis
tance it was apparent that some
thing unpleasant had occurred.
Their cheeks were flushed and their
voices angry. Breathlessly they told
it the people in the village had re
fused to receive them, had given
them blunt advice to seek shelter
somewhere else.
The indignation of the messen
gers communicated Itself to the oth
ers. This back-woods village refuse
to entertain their master it was
unthinkable. He was a famous pub
lic character. He had healed sick
people and given freely to the poor.
In the capital city crowds had fol
lowed him.
"Lord, these people are Insuffer
able," one of them cried. "Let us
call down fire from Heaven and
consume them." The others joined
in with enthusiasm. Fire, from
Heaven that was the idea! Make
them smart for their boorishness!
Show them that they can't affront
us with impunity! Come, Lord, the
fire
There are times when nothing In
man can say is nearly so powerful
as saying nothing. Every executive
knows that instinctively. To argue
brings him down to the level of
those with whom he argues; silence
convicts them of their folly; they
wish they had not spoken so quick,
ly; they wonder what he thinks.
The lips of Jesus tightened; his flna
features showed the strain of the
preceding weeks, He needed that
night's rest, but he said not a word.
Quietly he gathered up his gar
ments and started on, his outraged
companions following. It is easy
to imagine his keen disappointment.
. . . Would they never catch a true
vision of what he was about?
Down the hot road they trailed
after him, awed by his silence,
vaguely conscious that they had
failed again to measure up. In the
mind of Jesus the thing was too
small for comment
"And they went to another vil
lage." Eighteen hundred years later an
important man left the White
House in Washington for the War
Office, with a letter from the Pres
ident to the Secretary of War. In a
few minutes he was back in the
White House again bursting with
indignation. The President looked
up in mild surprise. "Did you give
the message to Stanton?" he asked.
"Yes, and he tore it up, exclaim
ed the outraged citizen, "and what's
more, sir, he said you are a fool."
"Did Stanton call me that?" he
asked. . . . "He did, sir, and repeat
ed it." "Well," said the President
with a dry laugh, "I reckon it must
be true then, because Stanton is
generally right"
The angry gentleman waited for
the storm to break, but nothing
happened. Abraham Lincoln turned
quietly to his desk and went on
with his work.
