The fact that this event will occur in the early morning when the bonyess of the ship will be decreased by low temperature, has resulted in a minimum and carry only a sword or scientific observable.
Carrying a staff of astronomers and their scientific instruments high above any clouds that may be in the sky and far out to sea so as to determine the time of totality, the new volume fledgraft is expected to serve science effectively. In recording this important event,
Plans Are Tentative
The University of Iowa astronomies, of which Almanac W. A. Moffett is chief, and the United States naval observatory, of which Capt. Edwin T. Pollock is superintendent, are now making tentative plans for the use of the airship at the time of the eclipse. In a communication ad directed to prominent astronomers throughout the country who are planning to observe the coming eclipse, the University of Iowa Pollock has indeed their advice or the kind of observations that can best be made from the air.
"Observations from the air hire the advantages over those from the ground of less interference from the wind. Strong absorption of the lower series of the air, he states. "The latter advantage would be particularly favorable in an alpine like the one of Mount Everest in his sun will be at a very low altitude."
"By going out over the ocean, the additional advantages of longer duration and greater altitude of the sun could be secured. An airship offers several advantages over an airplane, not for example a larger and stronger platform for instruments, and accountable for professional advertisers."
To Get Corona Pictures
Although observations requiring precise adjustment of instruments and long photograph exposures will not be possible from the airship, the program already plumbed into determinations of exact times of contact of moons and sun, photographs by a half dozen cameras, motion pictures of corona and disappearance, the observation of the shadow bands, determination of the color and visuality of the corona, color effects and changes in the atmosphere, viability of the stars and searches for comets.
To use Colorado Tectonics, you will have to observe the period of unity of the eclipses will be longer and by cling above any observing should or fag, the Los Angeles is expected to be the means of obtaining pictures of the solar corona, which has never before been taken advantage of in this stage of its development. Colored motion pictures of the highly colored stratosphere shooting out from the sun during totality will be attempted for the first time in history. The solar corona will be of equal value to the study of sun spots and the resulting magnetic disturbances of the earth which affect telegraph and cable communication and probably have some effect on radio communications. Daily observations will be a part of the regular program of the naval observatory.
Veteran Observer Approves
Prof. S. A. Mitchell, of the University of Virginia, and chairman of the coliseum committee of the Ancient Roman Empire, has approved the previous eclipses, has approved the plan of using the dirigible as an observatory, Prof. Ernest W. Brown of Yale University, authority on the moon which will cause the eclipses, points out that aerial photographs of the edge of the moon are crucial material in determining whether the moon arrives at the times predicted by the astrologers.
The possibility of cutoff observations from the air was painted out before the California pipeline of last summer. Aircraft like the M-1300 U.S. Aero-true, and airplanes of the curvy and the army were in the air during that event. Clouds and the speed movement of the airplanes prevented remote scientific observation of them but their lightning-air craft is expected to be better results.
'Rah! Rah! Jay Hawk! Father of 'Rock Chalk
Prof. E, H. S., Bailley of the department of chemistry of the University of Kansas has the honor of suggesting a yell which with the changes that have come with years is now the famous "snowie" URL [URL K, U]. Conceded to one of the best college yells in the world.
Along in the early eighteens, the faculty and students of the University had a scientific society known as the "It" which met for the purpose of social pleasure as well as the discussion of scientific subjects. Among other things, the society decided to adopt a yell. The result was a variety of professors, instructors and faculties until Professor Bailey suggested "Bah' Rab! Jah Hawk! K. S. U." This yell was adopted by the society.
No one knows how the "Buck Chalk" was substituted for the "Rah Rahi." According to the 1904 Kansas, it may have been suggested that Lawrence had been near Lawrence the society frequently met. He was very much interested
in science and especially in the geological formation of western Kannu where the chukh rock abounds. Peru's Chokh region is the suggestion of "Rock Choll!"
The "S" of the "K. S. U." was dropped after the yell had been adopted by the student body. For years the yell was given without the long-drawn-out vail of "U" as new given by the students of the Uni-
