THE GREAT ECLIPsE.-On the Doth of
this month there will occur most beauti-
full eclipse of the sun. 1t will be annulAr,
or ring-like, caused by the moon between
earth and sun, not being large enough to
cover the surface of the latter. but leaving
at the middle period of the eclipse Il ring
of light outside of the total shadow. This
annular phase will be visible throughout 4
belt of land running across the Eastern
States of the Union. beginning It's north
ern border at sunrise on the shore of Lake
Ontario and extending eastward to Il point
belt is about one hundred and ten miles in
width. The middle of it, of course, will
give the annular appearance most project
ly-lhe observer on each side, as he goes
toward the edges, finding the eclipse hay
ing more and more the appearance of a
crescent. The middle of this belt runs
through Bennington and Windham coun.
ties and the northern bounderyofit through
the central part of Addison and north part
of Windsor counties. Here the eclipse
will be partial and not annular. The
phenomenon occurs in the morning ut sun
rise. An astronomer says: Every OBJ
! jcct VIII have or rather would have, if the
sun were higher, a yellow, sickly, deathlv
appearance, which can only be appreciate
when seen" This is one of the eclipses
which has long been carefully observed.
At each recurrence it passes about sixty
miles further south, and it will finally pass
off the earth ut the South Pole after havinn
appeared ut the North Pole, occupying
1883 years. After this it will not touch
the earth, till after the lapse of 1912
years. when it will touch the earth again
at the North Pole as before.
