As the apparent diameter Of the NOON will be little
less than the sun, the eclipse cannot be total any

be visible only in the vicinity where the line Of central
eclipse passes The eclipse is central in longitude

readily discovered The path of the annular eclipse
will be about one hundred miles wide, and
lines we have described. The annular eclipse
will move about one hundred mi es per minute. The
first time this eclipse ever occurred was in 1918.

The Legislature adjourned on the 7.h
We understand from Mr.. Scott. that few
laws of general Importance were passed.
The session WAS n buried one, giving but
little time for deliberat,on. Several adds
tiopal charters for railroads were granted
but no new appropriations Of lana or mo
ney have been made. 4 bill wa. passed
giving $3.50 900 Tor cleaning out our rivers

added among other additions, there were
four thousand dollars added for cleaning
out the Lake as far ~ Jefferson. This bill
wxs passed with the reservation that IL Is 10

new Apportionment bill did not receive ihs
signature Of Gov Bell. A. he could no,
consistently sign it. and a. il had been
passed by two Legislatures Immediately
succeeding each other, which made him
avefse to taking the responsibility Of veto.
