There are three kinds OF solar eclpscs and two Of
lunar the former being partial, annular and total the
latter partial and total The coming eclipse will be an
nular and total rng like) caused by the moon being
too small the entire sun, hence narrow bright
ring will surround the black moon, presenting sight

annuar phasc first touches the earth at sunrise the
Atlantic ocean northeast Of the Bermuda Islands,
and leaves IL at sunset in the southern part Of
Africa. The annular phase, not visible here, first
touches the earth at sunrise tn o shore of Lake
ontario. about three miles northeast Of that narrow
neck Of land separating Sodus Bay from the lake. fol-

Through the centre of this belt the eclipse will not

years and about ten days thereafter, every Tune pass

After this il will not touch the earth, but will take
