British Landed Gentry Are Being "Dislanded" London.--The landed gentry of Great Britain who are not that any more are to be officially recognized as the "dislanded gentry" In the special supplement to Burke's "Landed Gentry," which lists British aristocracy. High taxation and death duties are responsible for the innovation, according to the editors of the publication. Formerly when a landowner sold his acres his name was automatically dropped from the register. But now, with orfe-third of the 2J500 names el.!glT ble for publication In 1921 failing to qualify, it was realized that it would be necessary to include them somehow or the book would be too small.

About four years ago the senoritas of Madrid, or at least many of the "eligible" ones, adopted a leg code whereby male limb gazers could dis- •cern at a glance, according to the position of the bandage, whether they had a "novia" or sweetheart. Now this fad Is being revived In Madrid, for the reason, according to some of the senoritas who use the code, that there exists a "matrimonial crisis" in this 'capital.

There must be no slip-up „ at the crucial moment for the eclipse lasts just 99 seconds, and another won't be here until 1954. New England authorities are cooperating with the scientists to assure the success of the experiments, officials of all communities in the belt of totality have promised to light no street lamps, while motorists have been . asked to shut off engines and headlights in the vicinity of the stations lest the delicate adjustment of the instruments be disturbed. At Island Pond, Vt., will be located the station of the Adler planetarium of Chicago with Prof. Philip Fox in charge. The planetarium staff left the first of the week for the scene with a truck load of instruments, in cluding the strongest magnifying movie camera ever built. One of the wonders of this age has been enacted nightly last week at the Adler planetarium where Prof. Fox has been offering visitors a vivid preview of the coming eclipse, seasoning the demonstration with some of his own philosophy. As Prof. Fox demonstrates the eclipse to several hundred people he says, "The eclipse you are witnessing was predicted by Chinese astronomers three thousand years ago. In accordance with the natural law which the Chinese understood forty centuries ago, the moon has kept her tryst with the sun. It is nature teaching us the lesson all of us ntust learn to get along in the world". One of the earliest references to an eclipse occurs in the Chinese Book of Historical Documents compiled 2,000 years before the birth of Christ-. Most famous of the ancient eclipses was the one referred toby the Greek historian, Herodutus, in his chronicle of a battle between 1 he Medes and the Lydians. So awestruck were the warriors, as he relates it, that they laid down their arms and concluded peace on the spot. - Apocrypha! .
