Dominion Defence:
AUSTRALIA NOW HAS ARMY
OF 180,000 MEN
Australia is now spending 21s. 10d. per head of the popula- tion on defence, in accord with an Imperial defence plan. This is the most for any Dominion. New Zealand is spending .12. 7d, the Irish Free State 10., Canada 5s. 7d. and South
Africa 3. 5d.
This financial year Australia's vote is 27,352,000, Coastal defences are being strengthened and will be more powerful than ever before, the air service is receiving concentrated at- tention, and resources are now established for the production of uniforms, rifles, Vickers machine guns, guns, gun-carriages, limbers, anti-aircraft guns, small arms, ammunition, and shells up to 8-inch calibre, anys Austral News,
"Any dangers that threaten the Commonwealth are over- aca," said the Defence Minister (Mr. Archdale-Parkhil); “and her first lines of defences aré on or over the scal British naval strength is Australia's initial safeguard, but Australis is 10,000; miles away from the main concentration of the British Fleet."
Australia can now put into the field and maintain two cavalry divisions, four infantry divisions and auxiliary troops to the total of 180,000, all ranke.

To Study Corona
Study of the spectrum of the sun's chromosphere, or outer at- mosphero, and the spectrum of the sun's corona will be the principal objectives of the Massachusetts expedition.
Dr.
"We wish particularly," Menzel explained, "to study the Infra red regions of the spectrum with new photographic plates more sensitive than plates that have been used previously."
"In the 1932 eclipse," the Har- vard professor continued, "new in- tensities of lines were found which were fresh Indices of solar l'activity. For instance, there were some bright spots in helium lines which denote pecuklar con- ditions and which previously we had not observed.
Scok Secrets Of Static "The sun sends out a great deal of intense radiation from the ex- treme ultra violet region. That radiation is undoubtedly the cause of the ionized layers that make possible radio and static, which latter phenomenon is closely allied with solar radiation and solar ac- tivity.
"The sun changes and all these ; phenomena vary. We wish to have measures of the different spectrum colours so that we will know how much activity is coming to U18 from the sun."
