On Janu- ary 24 the moon passed between the earth and the sun_and caused an eclipse of the sup. It was then new moon. By February & the moon will have moved around the earth until it is a full moon in the opposite di- rection from the sun and the earth is between it and the sun. The earth then shuts off the sunlight, which causes the moon to shine, and it be- comes eclipsed. The conditions of the eclipse are pictured In figure 2. The large dark circular area repre- sents the cross-section of the earth’s shadow at the distance of the moon. This shadow moves as the earth moves around the sun. The moon in its revolution about the earth overtakes the shadow in the position 1 at 3:09 p.m. eastern standard time. At 4:42 the maximum eclipse occurs in position 2. At that time three- quarters of the moon's diameter will be immersed in the shadow, and as the moon is never entirely within the shadow, the eclipse is never total. At 6:16 the moon is in position 3 and the eclipse then ends. The appearance of the eclipse of the sun on January 24 was very dif- ferent from different places. At some places it could be seen as a total eclipse; at others, only partial phases could be seen, but in eclipses of the noon every one who sees the eclipse sees It allke and at the same time. For observers in the United States the moon will nou have risen when the eclipse begins, and for all west- ern parts, the ecl{pse will be entirely over befors the moon has risen. At Philadelphia the moon rises at 5:24 Erom that time until 8:16 the moon will be seen in eclipse, but close to the horizon. At Philadelphia the sun sets at 5:28. Here, then, from 5:24 to 5:28 we have a condition which at first thought seems fm- possible—the moon eclipsed with the sun in sight. We stated that it is because the earth s between the moon and the sun that we have an eclipse. How can the earth be be- tween the sun and the moon when both bodles are above the horizon? It is the result of tpe bending of light rays in the earth's atmosphere, called refraction. The rays of light from the sun and moon do not come to us In straight lines. This refrac- tion of the light causes all heavenly bodies to appear to he higher above THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. THE STARRY SKIES IN FEBRUARY By Prof. Samuel G. Barton of the University of Pennsylvania. Figure 1.~The constellations at § pm., February 1. the sky n¢ that the direction faced in at the bottom; that is, If facing east, hold east at the bottom am wouth now is. The center of the map is the point overhead. [ S —————— seen from Washington, D. C., the oc- cultation begins at 4:52 p.m. and ends at 5:38, Eastern standard time. The times will not differ much from these in Eastern United States. The moon is 8 days old at the time. Unfor- tunately, the occultation occurs in daylight and twlilight, so that opera glasses and telescopes will be neces- sary for observing it. One can easily estimate the time when the occulta- tion will begin by noting the position of the star and moon on this after- noon. After the sun has set the star will be seen easily with the naked eye near the moon. This is the only bright object occulted by the moon Figure 2—Lunar eclipse February 8: 1, First contact 3:09 p.m.; 2, maxi- mum eclipse 4:42 p.m., 73 per cent of moon’s diameter eclipsed; 3, last contact 5 p. Eastern standard time. the horizon than they actually are by an amount which is greatest for bodies near the horizon. When the sun or moon or a star seems to be on the horizon—that is, rising or set- ting—It s really a little more than half a degree below the horizon; this is a little more than the diameter of the sun or moon. It requires about two and a half minutes for the sun or moon to rise or set, as that is the interval between the times that the upper and lower edges pass the horizon. The times of rising or set- ting refer to the time at which the upper edge is first seen in rising or last seen in setting. Hence the moon i8 really entirely below the horizon when it appears to have fully risen, and the sun also is really entirely below the horizon when its lower edge touches the horizon. Hence the earth is between the two under these conditions. To observe the above phenomenon one must be able to see not merely down to the bulldings and trees which form the sensible horizon, but down to the true horizon formed by a horizontal plane through the eve. 1If the observer is on a high spot, he may see below his true hori- zon, and this is an advantage. The same phenomenon will be seen else- where at sunset, but times will vary with the place. Two Other Eclipses. There is another eclipse of the sun this year, July 20, visible only in the Southern’ Pacific Ocean. It {5 an an- nual eclipse. There is also another partial eclipse of the moon on Au- gust 4, the beginning of which will be visible in Western United States. No_ other eclipses occur this year. On the evening of February 2 there will be an occultation of the bright star Aldebran by the moon; that is, the moon passes between us and the star and hides it. This is the star at A, figure 1. It is the brightest star ever-‘occulted by the moon. As CADILLAC orth point of shadow. this year as seen from Washington and nearby points. The planet Nep- tune will be occulted on February 8. The only naked eye planet now vis- ible in the early evening Is Mars. Its position on the first and last days of the month are indicated on figure 1. The planet is of the first magnitude, only a twelfth as bright as it was last Summer. The position of Nep- tune, which cannot be seen with the naked eve, is aiso marked. Venus and Jupiter may be seen in the East just before sunrise. They are in the constellation Sagittarfus. Saturn is in Libra, and is visible late in the night. Uranus, which is not visible to the naked eye, is in Plsces. It may be seen low in the West in the early evening. Watch the Sky in February. Bright stars shown on figure 1 are Sirius at B, Capella at C, Rigel at D, Procyon at E, Betelgeuse at F, Pollux at G, Regulus at H and Castor at J. The sky is more beautiful in the early evening of February than in any other month of the year. The discussion of the eclipse last month did not leave sufficient space for a discussion of what is expected during the year. The eclipse of last month was the most important event of the year. There are no other out- standing or very unusual events ex- pected. There is always the possi- billty of the occurrence of things which cannot be predicted, such as the appearance of bright comets or new stars. The Planets in 1925. Mercury will be seen best in the early evening for a fow days around March 31, July 28, November 22 and in the early morning around May 16, September 11 and December 31. Venus will be a morning star until April 24, but will be close to the sun.

Consecrated to Great Spirit and Hung on Pole Out of Touch. From the Pittsburgh Sun. In the old days Indians cherished the white buffalo robe as almost be- yond price. In 1832 or 1832 the Man- dans, hearing that the Blackfeet at the mouth of the Yellowstone had a white buffalo robe, sent a delegation with eight horses and with trading goods the 200 miles to procure the robe if possible. The delegation left the horses and the gobds and returned afoot with the robe. This was consecrated to the Great Spirit and hung upon a pole, out of touch, as powerful medicine. It is said that not one in 100,000 buf- falo was white. Even at that, the color was likely to be a yellowlsh white, and the robe was known by the plainsmen as a “buckskin” robe. The pure white robe scarcely existed. Helping the Boy. Henry Van Dyke.

OIL COMPANY Phones West 166, Frank. 391 Try Lightning Once and Become a Regular User AR i . powerful Pikes Peak Motor and famous Tratfic Transmission HIS new model solves a problem that long has puzzled the automotive indus- try. It provides for the first time—a closed car at touring car price which embodies not only protection and transportation— but also beauty and flashing performance. Unmistakable Beauty You will be struck by the instant reall- zation that here in the Coach Imperial is an entirely new order of coach appearance— a broader, more liberal application of the principles of mass, line and color—a more careful and infinitely more successful blending of beauty factors. Also, on stepping inside the car, you will become acutely conscious of a new kind of coach atmosphere—a positive roominess, a smartness of upholstery and provisions for relaxation and comfort that are wholly without precedent in closed cars of this type. ‘The doors are so wide that an average can reach the rear seat without dis- person turbing front seat passengers. Unparalleled Performance With this distinguished appearance is combined the performance that only a Chandler can provide. Undoubtedly you have heard many a Chandler owner express himself on this sub- ject. Yet we predict that when you drive the Coach Imperial you will have an experience even more vivid than you expected. The Pikes Peak Motor was developed on the highest automobile climb in the world. It is one of the reasons why Chandler stands uppermost in the public mind. It made Chandler the national perform- ance champion and its unparalleled power, JUSTICE MOTOR speed and snap are matters of common knowledge. But when you ‘“give her the gas” you get standards of performance that are absolutely new! Also you may have heard that it is possible to change speeds in the Chandler without clashing gears. ‘The Traffic Transmission does more than eliminate all noise when you go from low to second or high. It enables you to snap from high to second or low in absolute silence and with absolute certainty of making an instan- taneous gear engagement! Combining for the first time at touring car price, marked beauty, pronounced luxury of environment and unexampled perform- ance, the Chandler Coach Imperial gives without question what no other coach can give. See it today! Two New Open Models Included in Chandler’s presentation for 1925 are two new open models representing advances no less striking than the Coach Imperial. The Sport Touring ($1595) is entirely new in general lines and detail. It is offered in Luxor blue or two-toned grey green Duco. The new Comrade Roadster is distin- guished by a rumble seat of improved design that will find immediate favor because of its easy accessibility and the ample leg room it provides. Price, $1795.
