SCHOOL EXAMINATION.

The new school house on the south side
was better filled with visitors yesterday than
any Of the rooms which have been the theator
Of examination for the past week. We noticed
the Hon. James Crawford, of the United
States Mint, who smiled as though he in
tended to be candidate for School Trustee
at the next election; c. w. G. Ferris, of the
present board, and twenty-six other inter
estcd ladies and gentlemen, among whom
we're seven teachers. The room was very
prettily decorated with autumn leaves and
e,ectrotype engravings OF fruits and flowers.
The blackboards contained specimens of
printing, drawing and writing, the most nota-
bic OF which were a very well executed

Was placed upon the board as follows: Pro

class in geography, etc, etc. The scholars
were well drilled and displayed a great
amount of interest and application. The ex-
aminations in arithmetic, spelling and detini-
lions, the only ones we had the pleasure of
listening to, were very thorough Miss Woods

nature. The questioning portions were inter
spersed with singing, which was not only
very creditablc but included a sort of calls
thenic exercise. In the soldier medley, the
drummer boy was introduced with an accom-
panment of fists on the desks, and the color

long drawn out, we gladly note the fact that
the house last night was the largest of the

Eclipse of the Sun.

A total eclipse of the sun by the moon,
at any particular place, is phenomenon Of
such rare occurrance, it is not improbable
that at many places in the United States
there has not been one since the settlement
of the country. In this century the
largest and finest in the United States was
the one which occurred about noon of a
clear day. June 16, 1906, when the shadow
in crossing North America was in places

and the duration of totality full five min
utes, and the excitement produced near
the central line has perhaps meyer since
been equalled. As eclipses return in 1S
years 1015 days, under circumstances not
very different, the one of June, 1906, re-
turned shortly before sunset of June 26,
1924. Its third return was on July Is,
1860. Its fourth return will be on July 90
1878, and will be visible throughout the
United States, and on curved line not
oyer 100 miles wide frem near Behring
Straits to S.. Domingo, the eclipse will be
total; but the length of the total eclipse
will not at any place exceed three and one
half minutes. The centre. of the Moons
shadow first touches the Earth at sunrise
in Asia, takes a north-easterly direction,
and will cross over to America at about
its greatest latitude, So degrees; then tax
ing a southeasterly direction, it will pass
oyer part of British Columbia, of Idaho,
Wyoming. Colorado, Kansas, Texas, where
it will leave the United States; then pass
over the island of Cuba, a little south of
st. Domingo, where the centre of the shad
ow will lsaye the Earth. It hence appears
that this eclipse will be total at only two
cities in America, viz. Denver in Colora-
do, and Havana, in the island of Cuba.
