CAMERAS WAIT FOR VIEWS OF SUN'S ECLIPSE Indiana University Professor In Charge of One Station. Bit .Science S< n o i WASHINGTON, May 7.—Hundreds of cameras, two of them over sixty feet, long, are now waiting in Sumatra, the Malay peninsula and the Philippines, pointed at the place where the eclipsed sun will be Thursday afternoon. Attending each of these cameras are astronomers, carefully testing them, trying them out. rehearsing a program so that they can put in photographic plates, make expo ores and take out plates with the least possible delay. Preparations for the eclipse of the sun next Thursday afternoon in Malaysia now nearly are complete. Practically all the instruments have been erected. As the eclipse will last only from three to five minutes, depending on the place, it is very necessary that no time be lost. Clouds May Ruin All Cloudy weather may make all these preparations in vain, but then, at least, the astronomers will know that they did their best, and that another eclipse will come along in 1932. The moon is lighted by the sun. and being a solid body, casts a shadow behind it. If the solar system were full of smoke, we could see this shadow as a dark cone, extending thousands of miles from the moon on the side away from the sun. Though invisible, it is there, and occasionally the tip of the shadow crosses the earth’s surface. Not every time that the moon comes between the sun and the earth does the shadow touch the ground. This happens every new moon, or every twenty-eight days, and usually the tip of the shadow passes either to the north or to the south of the earth. Sometimes, even when the three bodies are directly in line, the earth is a little too far away and t.ie tip of the shadow does i it quite reach. Occasionally the shadow does reach the earth, and because ol the motion of the bodies concerned, sweeps over the surface with a speed of as much as 6.009 miles an hour. To a person in this path of totality, as it is cat led, the disc of the sun is obscured by the opaque moon, and the pearly white corona, outermost layer of the sun. appears around it. Then astronomers have the chance to make many observations. Huosirr in Charge The United States naval observatory party is also at Iloilo. Dr. W. A. Cogsliall, of Indiana university, is In charge, and with him is Paul Sollcnberger. of the observatory. A sixty-two-foot camera, the twin of the one with the Swarthmore party in Sumatra, is their chief instrument. As the eclipse will reach Iloilo about an hour after Sumatra, comparison of the two sets of pictures may solve the problem of how fast tne corona is moving. Motion pictures will be taken also. The British expedition at Iloilo is under the leadership of Dr. R. L. Waterfield, and accompanied by W. E. B. Lloyd, of Cambridge university. An effort will be made to get the very outermost parts of the corona, by using red light. With the use of a special rotating shutter in tht 1 camera, pictures will be made so as to equalize the exposure in the bright inner corona and in the very faint outer parts. Color photographs will also be attempted, as will the flash spectrum.

UNION MEETING BAN IS UPHELD Supreme Courl Ruling Hits Bicknell Miners. Union miners of the BicknellVincennes mines of the Knox Consolidated Coal Company today were without protection from the drastic temporary injunction of Superior Judge Linn D. Hay of Indianapolis. State supreme court Monday afternoon dissolved a temporary writ of prohibition against the Hay order and refused the miners’ plea for a permanent writ of prohibition. Supreme court overruled the miners’ contention that Judge Hay did not have jurisdiction. The injunction prohibits the miners from even holding a peaceful meeting in their own homes for the purpose of discussing ways and means of inducing strike breakers to stay away from the Knox company’s mines. Hay’s contention that he has jurisdiction, although the seat of the trouble is more than 100 miles away, on the ground that the mine is being operated under ship in his court, was upheld by supreme court. The next step in the case appeared to be a move by the receivers to make the Hav injunction permanent. GYM EXHIBIT TONiGHT Annual Kirshbaum Show Scheduled to Be Run Off.

FRANCE TO PAY HIGH HONOR TO JUAN OF ARC Pilgrims From All Over World to Orleans for Rites on Wednesday. BY RALPH HEINZEN L'nited Press Staff Correspondent ORLEANS, France, May 7. Thousands of pilgrims from all over the Christian world, including foreign ambassadors and high dignitaries of the church, began to gather here today to pay tribute to the memory of a little girl who five centuries ago Wednesday obliged the English soldiers to life the siege of Orleans and thus changed the course of history. It was on May 8, 1429, that Joan of Arc, a gallant shepherd girl, inspired a nondescript army of peasants and soldiers to such a high pitch of valor and patriotic fervor that they were able to drive the Britishers away from the gates of the ancient town. Nine years ago Joan was canonized a saint. Among the latest arrivals today were Sir William Tyrell, British ambassador to France; Cardinal Bourne, archbishop of Westminster, and Cardinal Le Picier, papal envoy to the ceremonies which will be staged here Wednesday. One of the features of the ceremony will be a pageant depicting the maid’s deliverance of Orleans
