TIE ECLIPSE.

To the hundreds of thousands who have
never seen q total eclipse of the sun, we pre-
sent TO-DAY such clear and ample information
as will enable them to witness intelligently one
Of the great phenomena of our planet and OF
our time.
The eclipse as q wonderful and 80 to speak,
a century blooming event, will furnish happy
occasion for the exercise OF the curiosity OF
mankind. That curiosity delights to celebrate
itself in mass, and there are odd millions round
and about us to whom their unanimous
curiosity will be the chief event, and for
whom the eclipse will be in verify
eclipsed. Thousands, too, will witness the
great solar experience with much the same
sentiment that Mr.. Micawber felt toward the
" gowans,n not knowing what they might be
but willing to take a pull at them. But TO
that sober-minded class who have learned to
see through q glass darkly, and yet with a
comparative clearness of visiOn-tO whom the
high affairs of the spheres and the celestial
politics are important-in short, to those who
have interest in the sun not to be ecliDsed by
the shade of this mundane life-we commend
the great phenomenon tenderly.
The total eclipse of this year will occur on
the 18th of August, and will be visible along
track of about 14O miles wide and more than
5000 miles Tonga track which, says our solar
historian, is like narrow ribbon across North
America and portion of Asia. A large
majority of us will not have the chance
of viewing this total eclipse, because in
New York, and in most parts of the
United States, the observation will only
cover fve-sixths of the SUMS disc. Whoever
would see utter darkness at midday must fol-
low the astronomer to the rbbOn-track we
have described How it begins, where it ends,
what territories it traverses, what States it
favors, how it is to be observed, what instru-
ments are to record its secrets, and what les
sons are to be learned from the records, we
have elsewhere set down.
