especially when using a telescope. The
best way to observe the -sun at any time
is not to look through the telescope but
to project the sun's Image on a white
card held beyond the eyepiece. No dark
glass is then necessary, and we may not
only ourselves look at the linage with
both eyes, but at the same time exhibit
It to a circle of admiring friends. The
Imago of the sun, however, wilt be turned
about In a way that depend upon the
kind of telescope we are using. Ordinar
ily this makes no practical difference,
because the sun' Image Is a true circle.
In an eclipse, however, we want to be
ure of the position of the point of first
contact F, so that we may be able to
note the exact second when the eclipse
begin.
If we are using a common spyglass,
which shows object upside-up and right-Ide-right.
the sun' Image will have top
and bottom exchanged. Just as If we held
the diagram with B on ton and then
turned the paper over around a horizon- i Mar on the 17th. On the 6th and 43th
tal. axis. . If wa remove the Inner pair I the crescent moon will make a fin
or lenses and change our terrestrial tel
e scope Into an astronomical one, which
show object upside-down and right'
lae-lert. our Image on the card will
keep B on. top but exchange right and
left. Just a lf we turned the paper over
around a vertical axis.
We may even dispense with a tel
escope altogether. An image of the sun
la formed on our card by any small bole
In a piece of pasteboard, or even by the
chinks In oiir window shutters, provided
we do not allow the sunlight to pass
through the pane. The Image will then
be the same a lf we projected It with a
pyglaas. ,
- If w practice our method before, the
eclipse, draw our sun circle on the card,
and mark the point of first, contact, we
may be able to note the time of the be
ginning of the eclipse within a few sec
onds. A string with a weight hung in
front of the card and casting Its shadow
on the diameter through B. will ensure
our holding the card properly.

and sets with the sun, and the full moon,
always rises at sunset and set at sun

TIIE JOY OF
MOTHERHOOD
Words of Encouragement to
Childless Women. .
Motherhood ia woman' natural desti
ny, but many women arc denied the
happiness of children simply because of
some curable derangement.
Among the many triumphs of Lydia
E. Pinkham't Vegetable Compound Is
its marvelous power to overcome such
derangements, as evidenced by the fol
lowing letter:
Worcester, Mass. "I suffered from
female il!s, and was advised to have an
operation, but a
friend who bad
taken Lydia E. Pink
ham 'a Vegetable
Compound and who
has six children, told
me to try It ltbas
helped ma so much
that I am now well
and have a baby boy
who is the picture
of health, and I
thank theVetretahla
Compound for my restoration to health."
Mrs. Bert Gakvet, 20 Hacker St,
Worcester, Mass.
In many other homes, once childless,
there are now children because of the
fact that Lydia E. Pinkham'a Vegetable
Compound makes women normal,
healthy and strong.

GAYETY IS THERE
WITH HITS OF YEAR
Maids of America Simply Sweep
Away Audience at. Popular
Burlesque House.
MANY NEW FEATURES IN SHOW
A real treat, a genuine record
breaker. Is the attraction at the
Gayety for this week. It is an un
usual treat tor the patrons, of whom
there was a big houseful last night
for the first performance; and It Is
a sure-enough record-breaker in .the
ay of laughs scored and song hits
registered. There is nothing slow
or draggy about the "Maids of
America." They are one of the liveli
est choruses of the season, with real
burlesque dash and "pp."
The production offer a number of
novelties: In fact, variety is one of its
earmark. The costuming Is brilliant,
and the settings, especially that of the
second act. win a big hand for beauty.
The company larger and stronger than
ordinary, and with plenty of splendid solo
voice and clever dancer.
But the main feature of the how, the
paramount reason for Its emphasised
popularity and undeniable worth. Is the
headline, co-star team, Al K. Hall and
ton rtarclay. Clajrty patrons last season
found these tiro skilled comedians among
the best on the circuit, when eah headea
a company of his on ancl each wti a
veritable whirlwind of continuous
laughter. Their appearance together In
dicates the policy pf the circuit's manage
ment In constantly Improving the shows.
Both are eccentric and talented funsters,
but each Is entirely unique and Individual
In hi style and methods. Working sep
arately or together, as the case may be.
they produce a spontaneous, continuous
and side-bjreting assortment of con
vulsive entertainment.

Harney Norton and rtuth Noble score

dances, one of the latter being finished
successfully last night In spite of a dark
stage, due to the electric power trouble.
Elsa Bostel. Mse Mack and Carrie Cooper
have delightful volcea and w-ln much
praise In their solos. The frequent Inter

In consequence Tj7rfl.TJ J
of the
uicce
of the New "Handy Volume" issue of N :
The Encyclopaedia Britannica
which we are offering on the payment of
$1.00 down and small monthly payments
we are obliged to give the following t
Notice to
torn
e ruoHc
shall be able to make prompt delivery
sets of our new " Handy Volume"
issue of the Encyclopaedia Britannie-a
for only a short time longer. The demand has been
bo enormous as to exceed all calculations.
We are making deliveries from our warehouses
in different cities over the country. But tho stocks
on hand are being rapidly exhausted, and wo must
beg the indulgence of our customers if they find
their orders delayed.
We began advertising tho remarkable offer
which we are making on this new issue of the En
cyclopaedia Britannica between the 10th and 14th
of the month, and within a week the orders were
almost 700 per day, andjby tho time this notice can
be printed, will probably be 1,000 per day.
Packing and delivering a thousand sets a day
of a 29-volume encylopaedia, every volume of which
must be packed so as to . come to the purchaser
in perfect condition, is in itself a task of some mag
nitude. But a much more serious matter is that
these shipments will very rapidly exhaust our stock
of the bound sets.
Rush, orders were immediately placed with the
binders to push deliveries at all possible npceil,
Jworking night and day shifts.
We Had 50,000 Sets Ready
After we had made arrangements for this re
markable sale, we did not begin advertising until
the publishers had on hand 50,000 sets printed on
India paper. The whole success of the "Handy
Volume" issue depended upon the fact that it was
printed upon the light India paper, which makes the
volumes so easy to hold and read. But the printing
upon this paper must bo done with especial care.
Even this enormous printing can last us for only
a short time, and we have already arranged with
the publishers for the printing of another 50,000
sets, making a total of 100,000 sets, or 2,900,000
volumes averaging more than 1,000 pages each.
These are, we believe, the largest 'single orders
for printing ever made. They alone make it possi
ble to furnish our customers with the complete new
Eleventh Edition of the Encyclopaedia Brittannica
printed on tho same lovely India paper as tie LigH
priced Cambridgo University issue at one-third tho
cost of the higher priced issue.
We undertook the sale of the new "Handy Vol
ume" issue because we aro are always seeking real
bargains to offer our customers; something ; of
superlativo quality; something that everyone needs;
something that lendg itself to economical manufac
ture in large quantities; something that reflects last
ing credit upon our institution and means permanent
satisfaction to our customers; something that can
be sold at a price that, considered with its known
quality, will instantly identify it as a BARGAIN.
For this reason, wo arranged with the publishers
to sell this issue on the narrowest margin of profit,
both to themselves and to us, and to offer the com
plete work, the entire 29 volumes, unabridged and
unchanged, for a first payment of a single" dollar."
Wo put behind every order our absolute guaran
tee that this is the complete, authorized, unabridged
Eleventh Edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica,
which cost more than a million and a half dollars
for its editorial preparation alone.
And we further guarantee that any subscriber
