not to be repeated for 200 years.

tory through which the moon's
shadow raced eastward at the mo*
ment when the eclipse became com-
plete.
The greatest mobilization of scien-
tists in the history of heavenly
phenomena trained giant telescopes
and cameras on the eclipse from
large observatories in the path
•the moon’s shadow, while millions
of lay observers braved zero weath-
er to watch the passing of the moon
across the sun.
They were rewarded With a sight
unequalled In splendor by anything.
Dr. Booth Royd, astronomer
charge of the observatory of Cornell
university. Ithaca, New York, re-
ported that the conditions for ob-
serving the phenomena were perfect
"The sun's corona, flaming around
the edge of the moon at the mo-
ment of totality, was beautiful,"
Pr4fm»or ‘ Caroline Furness, of Vns
sar, said. y "Long streamers shot
out. assuming unusual shapes such
as hare not been observed hitherto.

The strange Shadow bands that
raced across the ear:* from fiffct

to right as the sun apepared again.
The parks and open spaces in east-
ern cities were thronged with thou-
sands gazing skyward, while roof-
tops, windows and ships at aea were
other observation points. '
To those, thru darkened glasses,
the sun when in eclipse appeared
like a flashing, inverted diamond
in a slate-colored sky. The stream-
ing corona shot around the edges
of the moon’s black dis for several
minutes.
Then, what appeared to be s ball
of fire, showed In the lowgg right-
hand corner of the eclipse and! the
sun gradually came info view ogpln.
Before it completely reappeared,
airplanes came drooping down from
the skies with first reports of suc-
cessful aerial photography.

The noted astronomer, who is

was completely obliterated by the
moon, as the eclipse reached the
point of totality. Although the

overtook the plan to observe tbe
phenomena from an aerial labora-

All night long a sharp cross-
hangar wind howled over the Lake-

could not go up.
Finally, just before dawn, the
wind died down and Commander
Klein got tbe blimp under way.
Even then a gust pearly tore tho

many of whom were dragged along
the frozen ground until the ship
regained Its keel.
