TOTAL ECLIPSE or THE MOON.

The eclipse of the moon, which has been extern
svely advertised here below. took place carly this
morning and ali the announced details of the per-
Torrance were carried out to the letter The condi-
tons were very auspcious. light fog lay upon
the rivers and the bay, but the sky. almost for
the first time this month, was cloudless and
nothing hndored n perfect view during the
continuance of the phenomenon. The moon was
full as she had to be in order to make tho eclipse
visible. she was at her node, IN perigee ard she
passed centrally through the earth's shadow. This
is the astronomical explanation of the interesting, If
nof scientifically valuable spectacle which persons
awake after midnight saw. At about 26 minutes after
midnight the shadow became visible on the moon
over the bright disc, until all had been swallowed
mp in darkness. At l:20 according Ia the astro-
nomcal table The total phase began. and II ended
at 2:51 The entire eclipse was over at about 200

CHANGES WHICH, WITHOUT MAKING THE THOUGHT
CLEARER, ARE MISLEADING AND TECHNICALLY
INACCURATE.
Some of the verbal changes which the Revision
Committee Of the New Testament made so freely
and which, though much commented on. have been
held not to change the sense of the passages in
which they occur, may. special examination. turn
put to be entirely harmless. The injury to
melody and rhythm in some instances was the most
Senial Of the Committees offences. 1t would seem
- though the substitution of two words for the old
IN Matthew tx 90 had disturbed if not obiterated
fhs clear picture there presented of very interest
ing social custom among the ancients. In tho
authorized Version the reads And when
Sesus came into the rulers house and saw the min
