Not very much Of interest attaches to
eclipses OF the remote past except a.
aids to the location Of important his

tables Of the lunar motion. It Is fair
to the Investigators Of the last hundred
years to say that they have pretty we'll
ransacked the ground in both these di-
rections. In the latter department OF
research the eclipses have been Of great
service, though the observations OF
these phenomena were only rude up TO
> comparatively recent date. They
have furnished data for determining
the average rate Of the moons motion
with degree Of precision that would
seem to leave nothing more to be de-
sired, since the possible error Of the
deduction Is very much less than : sec

few astronomers who are yet working
at the problem is now directed to the

The FISHING SEASON. fishing sea-
son is now fast drawing to close, the
10Th OF June being regarded as the closing
day 1t has not been very fortunate sea
sou for the fishermen. In some instances
money has been made by the efforts put
forth by those engaged in the business, but
the instances are rare. The shad season
has been a decided failure, but the herring
much better. Remunerative prices have
been the rule for shad, while but few have
been caught. Fishermen think the shad are
gradually leaving the Potomac river for
other rivers, for some causes which they
cannot give. As the population increases
the fish disappear. Some believe that the
influences Of the gas manufacture which
impregnate the water have driven them
away. Though in the older times the far
mers used to catch herring and shad to
spread ON their soil, now they can obtain
scarcely enough for their tables. 1t is the
prevalent belief that there are too many
fishermen engaged in the river, and that
unless laws are enacted limiting the mum.
Der Of fishermen or shortening the lawful
fishing season that the fish will run out en-
tirely from the Potomac. The seine, haulers
are growing fewer from year to year, aud
iorsaking their long nets for traps aud gill
nets. No more big hauls are made. While
the shad fishery was failure in the roo
mac, however, IN other rivers on the Attain
tic coast they were abundant and of good
quality
