THE NEXT SOLAR ECLIPSE.
Professor O. A. Young, of Princeton College, de-
lvered his third popular lecture on astronomy last
night in the Church of the Strangers His subject
was "Eclipses and the Moon" not Inc
Moon and Eclipses," as it had been an
nounced. In the same easy conversational but
rapid manner in which he spoke at the two preced-
ing lectures of the course he made some concluding
observations the sun, being led naturally 10 TINS
by the description and explanation OF the solar phe-
nomens visible during total eclipses OF the
sun, and then came to the moon.
BY the aid of stereopticon pictures he gave
a large number of views of lunar Orators
and other features of the topography Of the eartRs
satellite Incidentally in the early part OF the
evening Professor Young referred to the next total
eclipse of the sun, which will in May of this
year. and expressed an earnest hope that Congress
would make provision for full and its careful obser
walton. On next Tuesday Professor Young will talk
