ECLIPSE OF E THIS MORN. 7:30 WASHINGTON, Feb. a. (AP) Approximately the best time to ce tomorrow's eclipse of the sun. the time when the moon will most nearly cover the sun. will be 7:30 a. m. to day. It will be visible In most places for about an hour before and after this time, however. The best thing to look through Is a piece of developed photographic film. Viewed from the earth, the eclipse will be only partial, with the moon coming only part of the way between the sun and earth. As seen from Hel ena. Montana, the sun will be 67 per cent covered by the moon, the near est to totality In the United States. The closest approach to totality as seen from anywhere on earth will be about 74 per cent near the Great Slave lake In northern Canada. Astronomers are not especially ex cited about this eclipse, because there is little they can learn from It. The naval observatory, however, will use It. as It does all others, to see If the solar system Is "running on sched ule." Tomorrow's eclipse will be the third of seven scheduled for this year five of the 'sun and two of th moon. None of the eclipses of the sun will be total as seen from earth. A total eclipse of the moon on July 16, will be visible In this country. EDUCATION CHIEF TO CONFER FEB. 8-9 John B.
