Great Astral Pencil, Whose Point Is
50 Miles In Circumference Draws
Jet Black Line Diagonally' Across
the United States From Aberdeen I
to Orlando, Florida.
SAN FRANCISCO. June 8 A
grout uslrul pencil, whom1 point is
n) miles in circumference, is to draw
1! jet blui'k lino across the United
States from Aberdeen, Wash., to Or
lando, Flu., this iil'ternonn.
While tli(( marking is being made,
thickens am expected to iro to roost
and birds to ni'st. Street cars will
ran with their headlights nglarc, anil
there will he a sudden slriiin on all
lighting utilities. The ureal cosmic
lital who will hold the pencil and
mark the line will "get even" with
Washington for stealing an hour of
sunlight on that day, for he will lake
I" minutes of that sunlight hack
again. '
Dai kens Ijuge Ami
The point of that pencil, hhick as
ebony, will represent an eclipse of
the sun. The point will begin with
the moon, anil will drop in mi exact
cone to I lie earth where it will darken
u considerable portion of the Pacific
ocean and the states of Washing
ton, Oregon, Cttih, Colorado, Kansas,
Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama,
(corgia and Morula, in about the
sainn manner that a military censor
delates an objectionable line from a
war correspondent's dispatch. The
stock of the pencil will be repre
sented by a nebulous spueo of infin
ity, millions of miles Ion;;, between
the sun and the moon.
Many an astrological Christopher
Colinahus will he out "alone, the line"
to discover a new world or two. The
mythical planet Vulcan, snid to hov
er neai' the sun, may possibly be
given a positive identity. The great
solar force that makes Mercury shake
with an ui'tral ague as it spings
n round its orbit, may he uncovered.
A thousand theories may be proven
or repudiated, chief of them being
the theory of relativity, first sug
gested by Kinstein, a tleriann physi
ciun. Light on Spectrum
The nubbin of this theory is that
the light from stars beyond the sun
is bent by the sun's gravity before it
reaches the earth in about the same
manner Unit a street ear rail is bent
around a slight curve. The eclipse
is expected to prove whether such a
sun gravity can bend light or not.
The eclipse is expected also to
throw some light on the composition
of the sun's spectrum, which, during
the period of totality, glows with a
greenish hue. What makes it green
is the question the scientists are go
ing to try to answer. Points of sim ilarity
and dissimilarity between the
atmospheres of the sun and the eurth
are to be given close attention also.
The polarized light of the sun will
also attract interest. Scientists nt
the University of California, near
here, and elsewhere sav that the light
around 'the sun moves in regular
waves like wireless uir waves, instead
of being a steady, even substance, as
aroiind the earth. The eclipse ma
explain this difference.
t'ornnnl Spectrum
The coronal spectrum of the sun,
according to Professor K. I'. Lewis,
department of physics, Cuivcr-ity of
nlifornia, is made up of unknown
eicuieiits. Professor Lewis is to study
this coronal spectrum through a large
quartz speelograph as a member of
the l.ick Observatory parly at (lol
deuilalc, Wa-h. The spectogrnph, in
the event of clear weather, is expect
ed to reveal tminv new and startling
facts concerning this corona and ac
companying spectrum.
'fhe war has had some effect on
the plans lor oliMTviug the phe
nomena, many of the .scientists who
observe such things now being en
gaged on preliminary studv of the
great tier ll eclipse, which is due
"somewhere in Prance" at an un
named date.
The eidipse will begin at 7:'J! in
the morning at a point south of
Japan and will end at the Itahaina
Lluiuls, east of Florida, nt 7:'-'!l in
the evening, tlrecnw ieh menu time.
The shadow will enter the l aited
States at - :Vi in the aflci-uoou, Pa
cific standard tune, or ll:Vi duvlight
saving time, and will leave ut ":ll,
central standard time, or ti:-ll, day

The line of totality will he oil miles

over North and Central America and

fessor W. W. Camphell of Lick Ob
servatory, at Mount Hamilton, Cal
ifornia, who Is here to study tho phe
nomena of today's eclipse, received
a cablegram from France today stat
ing that his son, Lieutenant Douglass
Camphell, an American aviator in
France, was slightly wounded.
The eiiblegram was signed by an
officer with the American expedi
tionary forces, it was said, and i
brought little information beyond the j
tact tout voung ( nmiv'oi! was
wounded In action und that bis Injury
was not serious.
I'rofessor Ciiniibell, in the rush of
final preparations for, the scientific
observations he hopes to make, when
tho moon obscures the sun mid dark
ness descends, on this region later
today, was. unperturbed by the news,
Mid apparently paid it .slight heed be
yond expressing relief Hint thu. boy's
life wns not endangered by '"his
wounds. " .-
When informed several days ago
of his son's latest exploit, in bring
ing do'wn'Jiis sixth enemy airplane,
iTofessor Campbell made the com
ment that his son is a g;ood athlete
and chauffeur, ipiiek to decide anil
click to net and without fear. . When
a friend spoke of the dangerous chnr
acter of the aviation service, the
scientist said: "A man's life should
not be measured in venrs, bill by what
he accomplishes. Mv sou's letters
say he is haupyover there."

A Sound
The conservation of Time and Energy is the underlying motive of our
modern efficiency doctrine. To perform each daily task with a mini
mum of waste etfort and all possible dispatch that is the objective of
every aggressive American business man. And in attaining that objec
tive the motor car is playing a very important part.
The Paige has always been a favored car with those men who demand un
failing service and economy of operation. It has been tried and proven
on a strict utilitarian basis. It is most emphatically a sound investment
and, for that reason, it enjoys the confidence and respect which is only
accorded to products of real intrinsic worth.

U. S. AIRPLANES
TO REDUCE LOSES
WASHINGTON, June 8. A fire
proof airplane is the latest addition
to Uncle Sam's aerial' program.
These planes will he constructed
of non-inflammable materials, the
wings, struts, fuselage, etc.,. being
made of an aluminum alloy steel,
both light and strong. The gasoline
tanks will be specially protected from
puncture by inflammable bullets.
Flights have already been made
with the first models.
A non-inflammable plane, It Is be
lieved, will greatly reduce the losses
of planes in action. It was the burn
ing of his plant, rather than his In
juries that caused the death of Lufs
bery, America's premier filer. Luf
bery, who If he had been flying in
a non-inflammable plant would, ther
Is little doubt, have landed Bafely,
despite the bullet wound In his hand.
