SOLAR PHENOMENA OF 1S54-On Friday. the
18th OF May next, there will be an cclipse of the
sun, which will be more or less visible in all
parts OF the United States and Canada, and in
portion of both will be annular its commence
ment in the city of Washington will lie at 4h
ZOm. III the afternoon, its greatest observation
at Oh Ism. and its end 6h 27m. AS the appa-
rent diameter of the moon will be little less
than the sun. the eclipse cannot be total any
where. The Christian Almanac saws -" The
ring will be only one-third of a digit wide, and
will be visible only in the vicinity where the
line of central eclipse passes. The eclipse is
central in longitude 73. SO west of Greenwich,
latitude A. IA north ard in longitude ca. 35
west, latitude Al 10 north. BY finding these
positions upon map. and drawing a line from
one to the other, the towns and countries
through which the central eclipse passes will
be readily discovered. The path ofthe annular
eclipse will be about one hundred miles wide.
and extend about fifty miles each side of the
lines we have described. The annular eclipse
will move about one hundred miles per minute.
The first time this elipse ever occurred was in
1873, July ID; since then it has returned thir-
ty-onc times, including its return next year. 1t
occurred in April. 1915, in May. 1913, and in
May, 1895 twill return again in June 1872
Its last return will be in the year 1898. August
18th. The next solar eclipse that will attract
mucl attention in this country will be in 1858.
