ECLIPSE OF THE SUN.

There will be a total eclipse of
the sun on July % next. The path
along which the eclipse will be
visible, as a total one crosses
Behring's Sea from Asia and pass
es from Alaska in a southeasterly
direction, nearly parallel with the
Rocky Mountain range to tina
Gulfof Mexico, which ID enters
near the mouth Of the Sabine E.iver
at the western Boundary Of Louis
lana. On this path Of ~totality the
gratest duration Of the total OBJ
servation will be three minutes
and twelve seconds: but the total
observation will also be visible for
a few miles on each side of the path
and places so situated are said to
be near tie path of totality. 1t is
therefore obvious that to most
places in the United States the
eclipse will be only partial. At
New Orleans the eclipse will be-
gin at $3.50 p. m. reach its middle
phase at 4:49p.m. end at 5;4s
D. m. and we are informed by the
chief signal office Of the army that
the chances of weather conditions
favorable for observing the eclipse
at New Orleans at that time of
of the year amount to. SO per cent.
With such a percentage in our
favor we may almost confidently
expect a clear day and a good
view.-N. O. Democrat.
