This financial year Australia's vote is £7,352,000. 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 arme, ammunition, and shells up to 8-inch calibre, says Austral News.
"Any dangers that threaten' the Commonwealth are over- sea," said the Defence Minister (Mr. Archdale, Parkhill), “and ber first lines of defences are on or over the sca. British naval strength is Australia's initial safeguard, but Australia 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 ranks

Leaving this country in April the scientists will go to Ak-Bulak, | near Orenburg in Eastern Russia, located contrally on the path of the eclipse that will occur over Siberia, Russia proper, and the Black Sea for 1 minute 67 seconds at about 8 a.m. on June 19.
To Study Corona
Study of the spectrum of the sun's chromosphere, or outer at- mosphere; and the spectrum of the Run's corons will be the principal objectives of the Massachusetts expedition.
"We wish particularly." Dr. 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- tenslice of lines were found which were fresh Indices of solar activity. For instance, there were some bright spots in Kellum lines which denote peculiar con- ditions and, which previously we had not observed.
Seck Secrets Of Static "The san 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 intter phenomenon is closely allied with solar radiation and solar ac- tivity."
"The sun changes and all these phenomena vary. We wish to have mesaures of the different spectrum colours so that we will know how much activity is coming to from the sun.
