Six Comets and Two Eclipses of Sun on Program. Washington.—The sky schedule for 1633 will be of great Interest to star gazers, says the American Nature as sociation. Six periodic comets are due for return engagements, Two eclipses of the sun are on the schedule also. Then, too, Mars which is probably of more popular interest than any oth- er planet because of its possibilities a8 an abode of life smd its fascinat- ing and varied surface markings which Indicate seasonal changes, is due to come to perihelion on Mareh 1. Perl- helion Is that point of the orbit of a planet or comet which is nearest to the sun, This Is one of the less fa- vorable oppositions, since the planet is 62,700,000 miles distant from the earth at nearest approach on that date. Nevertheless astronomers interested in the physical phenomena of the plan- ets are preparing to keep this little neighboring world under scrutiny be- fore and after the date of opposition, and we may expect to hear more than usual about the ruddy planet Mars within the next few months. Six Comets Due, As to the comets, Nature Magazine lists them by the names of Brorsen, Pons-Winnecke, De Vico-Swift, Glaco bilni, Finlay and Holmes. The first was discovered by Brorsen. It was last secn in 1870 and is due to come to perihelion again in November. The Pons-Winnecke comet has a pe- riod of nearly six years and was dis- covered by Pons in 1819. It is dne to return again in May. The De Vice Bwift comet returned in January, Giacobini's comet was discovered by that astronomer at Nice in 1000. It is due at perihelion In June, Finlay's comet is also due in June. Holmes’ comét was discovered independently in 1802 by Holmes on November 6 and Davidson on November 9. It is due In August, There will be two eclipses of the sun, both annular, An annular eclipse fs one In which the relative positions of sum and moon are such that the moon fails completely to cover the so lar disk and there is a thin annulus or ring of light surrounding the dark lunar disk at the time that would correspond to mid-totality of a total solar eclipse, Eclipse of Sun. The first eclipse will occur on Febru ary 24. The partial phase will be visi ble in the southern and central part of South America, all of Africa, except the extreme northwestern part, the western part of the Mediterranean, Greece, Asia Minor, Persia and Arabia. The annulus in this eclipse is visible within a very narrow path with a max imum duration of only 1 minute 55 see- onds. This path crosses South Amer- fca, near the fortieth parallel, the South Atlantic, and from Stephanie ville, Africa, to Aden in Arabla. The next eclipse will occur on Au gust 21. The partial phase will be visible In central and eastern Europe and northeastern Africa at sunrise, 1a- ter in the morning, or near midday, in Siberia, eentral and southern Asia, and in the afternoon In the Philippines and East Indies. In Australia the eclipse will occur late in the after noon or at sunset. The path of the annulus, also narrow in this eclipse, passes from Alexandria, in Egypt, over lagdad, India, grazing Delhi and Calcutta, across Siam to Borneo, and wporth Australia, ending on the coast of Queensland at sunset. The duration of the annular phase will be only 2 minutes 18 seconds.

This revival of modes 18 not confined to needlework, but applies to all the arts, Historical Notes Originally etching embroidery was called print work. It was very much in vogue early tn 1800, making it over one hundred and twenty-five years since Its inception. [t was modified In its revival half a century ago, and it Is In this modified form that it Is used A Table Runner With Etching Embroidery, today. At the beginning it was an elaborate needlework combining chiefly sepia tinted grounds various stitches in black such as outline, French knots, satin stitch, crewel stitch, etc. The intention was to re produce printed pictures through these two medinms. stitchery and colored washes. Some of this early print work was choice. Pictures done in the em- broldery were framed and hung with genuine prints and etchings on walls of rooms. Later on pictures were embroidered in outline only and {t is this fashion which today Is known as etching em. broidery.
