Although Eastwood and Elechnre

The party, headed by Captain Ed

The Los Angeles will take a posi

probably a short distance at sea off
Long Island. The high altitude from
which the observations will be made
not only will be above any obscurity
of clouds, it was poin.ed out, but also
will afford a rarer and clearer atmo

director of Yerke.i observatory of the

Although conditions here were not

"Many American observatories will
have temporary stations in New York

said. . 1
During the last few years toliil
eclipyes of the sun have been of value
as furnishing Important tests of the
theory of relativity.
"It Is during the moments when the
sun Is covered by the moon that we
can get shots of stars whose orbits
nearly graze the sun: at other times
the stars are wholly lost in the bril
liance of the sunlight. Pictures are
taken with the same telescope of the
same group of stars at night, half it
year before or after the eclipse when
the sun Is nowhere near that part of
the sky.
"The distance between the stars In
the plates nre measuerd lo the one-ten-thousandth
of an Inch, or less, and
it has been found at Iwo recent eclip
ses, that the light of each of the e
stars was bent out of Its path bv a

theory. Thus eclipses have confirmed
