US To Miss Three Eclipses This Year
New York—(U.P.) The sun and the moon are going to "sit out" the coming year as far as interesting eclipses are concerned.
The first show occurs on Saturday, March 18 with an annular eclipse of the sun, but it will not be visible in the United States.
Then on Sunday, April 2, the moon goes into a total eclipse—and again the show will not be visible in the United States.
However, the Russians will have something to brag about on Tuesday, Sept. 12 when a total eclipse of the sun occurs. It is expected to be visible in some parts of Siberia and at the north pole.
The fourth eclipse—that of the moon—occurs on Tuesday, Sept. 26 and will be visible in most parts of the United States. The year, however, will have the usual run of regularly scheduled meteor showers.
Scientists in this country and in Canada are looking ahead to 1954 when a total eclipse of the sun occurs, and will be visible in Canada. The duration of totality will be only $2 \frac{1}{2}$ minutes.
Following the Canadian total eclipse, there will be one in 1963 which will be visible in Alaska, and another in 1970 which will be visible in Florida.
George Washington laid the cornerstone of the national capitol.
