"The total eclipse of the on the 2sth in slant

to Mr.. Kinds calculations, will be more or less
visible to the whole of South America, the north
Atlantic ocean, down to the 30th degree of latitude,
the whole OF Europe, and the northern part of AT.
rica The total eclipse will commence on the north
west coast OF North America, near Queen Char

over the Rocky mountains TO the Slave Lake, which
will be in entire darkness at H. 30, p. M. Green

end at is. M Arago, in bis account of the eclipse
of 1912, in France and Italy, describes the effects
produced upon the animal creation. Horses came
TO standstill, and neither whip nor spur would
induce them to move-oxen stood in circles in the
fields, as if to resist an attack-dogs fled to their
masters, bowling piteously-hens collected their
chickens--brds fell to the ground apparently dead
from fright-delicate plants closed their leaves
Those and other phenomena show that tho forth
coming eclipse will be interesting to the natu-
ralst as to the astronomer"
