...Observatory has issued a circular giving a series of measurements of the diameter of the bright spot surrounding the Linne crater on the moon's surface made before and after the passage of the shadow of the earth during the total lunar eclipse of October 16. The circular contains tables which show that the spot has increased in size during the last three years. Professor W.H. Pickering, who made the observations, believes that the explanation of the change in the size of the spot is that Linne is more active than heretofore, and that there is therefore surrounding it more...
...times the ball was brought within easy scoring distance, only to be lost on fumbles--once on the 16 yard line, and again within 4 yards of the goal. It was lost also for holding at the 10 yard line, and the last time on downs in the very shadow of the goal posts. While the Pennsylvania team thus succeeded in stopping Harvard's offense at the proper moment, it never had the ball within 65 yards of a touchdown, and the only chance that was offered to score was when a fumble on a kick-off allowed the ball...
...time the moon was obscured. That the spot is a deposit of hoar frost and not light reflected from rock is shown by the fact of its enlargement and increase of light. If the spot were stone virtually no light would have been reflected when the earth's shadow fell upon the moon...
...University Observatory is preparing to photograph the total eclipse of the moon which will occur tomorrow night. At 10.17 the moon will enter the umbra of the earth's shadow, and at 12.19 the total eclipse will begin; this will end at 1.48 and at 3.50 the moon will again be clear of the earth's shadow. By photographs the light of the sky will be measured during the eclipse, and the light of the moon eclipsed compared with the moon's light unobscured. The observers will expose also several plates during the eclipse to discover if any hitherto undetected...
...awarded to Monroe Buckley, 1L., for ten pictures mostly of mountain scenery. Numbers 24, "East Rock, New Haven;" 25, "The Franconia Notch;" 26, "Sunset on Mt. Lafayette;" and 28, 29 and 30, of Mt. Osceola and the Waterville Valley, are deserving of mention. The last two show striking cloud-shadow effects. Second prize is given to H. H. Ruston, 1G. His principal picture, "Morning," number 157, is an artistic view of a hillside pasture, with clumps of hard wood trees, and a hazy distance. "A Barnyard Study," number 154, and "Sheep" and "Firelight Study," numbers 161 and 163, are also...
