MILLIONS WILL VIEW ECLIPSE OF SUN AUG. 31 Scientists Make Elaborate Plans for Nature’s Great Spectacle. nv WATSON DAVIS Managing Editor. Science Service When the moon moves round in ront of the sun Wednesday afteroon, Aug. 31, for a minute and a alf, millions of permanent inhabitnts, thousands of visiting spectaors, and several hundred scientists i a narrow region in Canada and Few England will enjoy one of na,ure's grandest spectacles. A total eclipse of the sun always has, since the dawn of history, at.racted attention. Until the extreme decision of the movement of the leavenly bodies was discovered and understood, the blotting out of the sun in full day struck fear into men's hearts. It was received as a portent of evil. Now eclipses can be predicted years in advance and the snapping of cameras has r eplaced the beating of tom-toms in the ritual of eclipse observation. Figured to Last Fraction To within a small fraction of a .second and a small part of a mile, astronomers know just when and where the eclipse of Aug. 31 will occur. With confidence, intricate instruments are erected to capture for science the few seconds during which the pearly halo of the sun can be seen. Weeks of time ad thousands of dollars rae expended in eclipse preparations. Thirty-one years will pass before another total solar eclipse will fall upon continental United States. Astronomers who wish to observe eclipses in the interval must travel to inconvenient, distant places. Half a hundred photographic telescopes wall be trained on the sun and superimposed moon. Airplanes will fly to elude the danger of clouds that 50-50 may spoil the show. Radio transmission may be changed over a large area in such a manner as to give new knowledge of the upper atmosphere. Strategically located in the eclipse path will be instruments to break into colors the rare light of the sun's outer atmosphere. Visible Everywhere in U. S. From every square foot of the United States there will be seen the moon partially with the sun’s light. Every one should pause in his daily work to view’ through heavily sooted glass or exposed photographic film the nicking of the sun by the moon. An eclip.se is a demonstration of the orderliness of nature. Seeing an eclipse, watching the moon or sun rise and set, seeing the parade of stars with the seasons, catching the flash of a meteor, astronomers and layman alike well may wonder at and about the power of the universe that keeps it functioning.
