Again in 1938, scientists will have to venture into. remote are. of the world to study phenomena attendant upon a tofal: eclipse of the sun.

This is one of four eclipses during the year. Two total lunar eclipses are visible May 14 and November 7. The remain- ing one is a partial shadowing of the sun on November 21, : Must Get Up Early Canadians can witness the last three, but they will have to rise early to see the May 14 lunar show. Its perlod of greatest totality is at 3 a.m. The other lunar eclipse takes place at-five o'clock in the afternoon, when the brightness of the sun may hide it. British Columbia {is the only part of Canada. privileged to witness the partial eclipse of the sun, November 21.

In his Utopia he promises wild horses. and cattle, cascading streams, tropical fruits, and no tax collectors or other pestilences.
