AN exchange, IN writing up the moon:
phases for the month Of June, says: The
June moon fulls on the 18th, and gives u.
the rare treat of total lunar eclipse. NJ
celestial phenomena is easier to understand
The earth passes between the sun and moon,
and obscures his light. It can only occur
at the time of full moor, and there would
be total eclipse of the moon every month
if the sua's path and the moons path were
on the same plane or level. But the moons
orbit is inclined to the ecliptic about five
degrees, therefore the moon must be at her
node or crossing point at the time of full
moon in order to be totally eclipsed. She
is, however, much oftener far enough from
her node to be above or below the earth's
shadow, when there is no eclipse, or she
may be near enough her node to pass
through a portion of the earth's shadow,
when she is partially eclipsed. But on the
morning of the 18th the conditions are ia
vorable for a grand exhibition OF the dark
ening power of the earth's shadow. The
moon Is full, she is at her node, she is in
perigee, or at her nearest point to the earth,
and she will pass centrally through the
earth's shadow. The eclipse begins, that is
the dark shadow enters upon the moon, at
Oh. 26m., or 26m. after midnight. The TO-
tai phase commences at In. GEM, and ends
at 2hi Sim. The eclipse ends at 3h. 52m.
On the 2lst the moon Is in conjunction with
Mars and Saturn. On the morning of the
22d the heavens will present a superb pic
ture, made up of the waning moon, the
bright planets, Venus and Jupiter. Between
five O'Clock on the morning of the 2lst and
two O'Clock in the afternoon of the I'D, the
moon is in conjunction with five planets,
Mars, Saturn, Neptune, Jupiter and Venus:
An accident overlook Harrisburg man,
several miles west of this place on Satur-
day night. The occurrence is mentioned in
the Harrisburg Telegraph of June s, as fol-
lows George Bower, an extra brakeman on
cabin $50, PENNSYLVANIA railroad, while at
tempting to pass forward on a train, in the
discharge of his duty, at II O'Clock Satur-
day night, was severely injured by being
hurled violently on a load of large lump
coal. The train was moving on a curve,
four miles west of Miffiin, at the usual
speed, and Mr.. Bower was on the top of a
car which had been loaded unusually high
with lump coal, so that with an unsteady
curve, he was hurled with tremendous force
on the coal, the effect of which was to
drive his left arm out of the socket, forcing
it into the flesh beyond. He was in the GEN.
ter of the car when he fell. If he had been
any nearer either end he would have been
hurled on the track. 1t was some minutes
before the injured man was discovered, when
the crew did what could be done for the
relief of the unfortunate man, and he was
brought to Miffiin, where be lay four hours
before medical attendance could be had to
replace the arm in its socket, which was
done by the company surgeon at that point.
Mr.. Bower reached his home, in Grant
street, yesterday at II o'clock NJ, and was
shortly thereafter attended by DR.. Orth. In
addition to the injury to his arm and
shoulder-blade, Mr.. B. was considerably
cut about his face and bruised on his body.
1t will require about six weeks before the
injured man can use his arm.
