Another Use for the Airplane.

.Eclipse observation by dlrptane is declared W. Merrill to be not chimerical. A modern plane could readily surmount any ordinary fog or cumulus cloud, though cirrus is usuallytoo high, and, aside from cirrus ctoods, the observer would have a wonderfully clear dark sky. And photographic observations are not out of the question. A DeHavlland plane with a Liberty motor, feet agtttade, rides more smoothly than a tinin, and should permit direct photoiftaphs on a small scale, especially if «s plane were equipped with a gyroscopic stabilizer.
