bers to WPA workers.

(NEA photo, coypright,
Besides invaluable scientific data, the recent eclipse of the sun produced this arresting freak of photography. Made from a PanAmerican Grace Airways plane 25,000 feet above the - coast of Peru a second or two before the instant of total eclipse, the pinpoint of sunlight still visible caused the central spot of light above the wing tip. The light rings were formed by reflection between several surfaces of the complex camera lens. Right—The first protograph of a total eclipse ever taken from the substratosphere.
