The SUMS Eclipse.

PHILADELPHIA, July 29.-Reports
from all over the country show that in
the most important places where the
eclipse was total the weather was fa-
vorable for observation. AT Little
Rock, Arkansas, Fort Worth, Texas
and Pixies Peak the observations were
entirely successful. At Forth Worth
five photographs were taken. At
these and other places in the south
west corona cuspis, moon limbs and all
contacts were duly noted. During
total eclipse artificial lights were
necessary. A halo ringed the moon,
the surface of the latter looking like
blueish steel. The animals, such as
dogs and cats, seemed undisturbed by
the eclipse and remained during the
darkness lying in the shade where
they had been when the eclipse began,
and the cattle continued to browse
quietly in the fields. In most of the
places in the east where the eclipse
was only partial observation was him
dered by the clouds.

On Saturday evening last a severe
storm, accompanied with heavy thun-
der and vivid lighting, passed over
Genesee township. About eleven
o'clock the lightning struck the house
of John Pye, located on the road be-
tween Ellisburg and Oswayo and only
a short distance from the former place.
1t is supposed the lightning passed
down the stove-pipe to the first floor,
where several persons were sleeping,
including three of Mr.. Pye's sons-a
young man about twenty-one years OF
age, another about sixteen, and the
third about twelve years of age-whO
were all sleeping upon a bed made
upon the floor, the oldest one sleeping
between his two brothers. The crash
awakened some of the family, who
called to the eldest son, who answered
them that he thought there was nc
harm done, and that the lightning
must have struck something else be.

MastOdOn Remains.

ing been announced that the fossil
remains of mastodon had been found
in cave near the railway station at
Mt. Araat, on the Jefferson branch of
the Erie road, hundreds of persons,
both on foot and in carriages, visited
the scene.
1t seems that some workmen, while
excavating at the point named, came
upon what they first thought to be
part of the tusk of an elephant. 1t
was taken to naturalist who lives in
the neighborhood, and he pronounced
1t the tooth of mastodon. The work.
men at once returned to their task,
and under the direction of the natur-
alist and an antiquarian whom he
summoned from Carbohdale, the
search was prosecuted until nearly
midnight, by which time nearly the
entire skeleton of the monster was
unearthed, and is now on exhibition
at the opening of the cave.
The jawbone Is four feet long and
thirteen inches thick; knee-cap eigh-
teen inches in length and nine and a
half inches in width at the narrowest
point; thigh bones six and quarter
feet long, and the bones from the knee
to the foot seven feet in length. The
skeleton will be boxed and shipped to
the Smithsonian institute.
