lips are light, as q merest shred OF thistle
down.

From II o'clock to 2 on Monday
an annular eclipse of the sun was
observed. This is the first in %
years, and another will not be visi-
BILE on this continent until Oct. 90,
1892. In total and annular eclipses,
line drawn through the centre of
the moon must pass through the
centre of the sun. But at certain
seasons of the year the sun is nearer
the earth and his disc appears larger,
and the moon is further off and her
disc appears smaller. When under
these conditions, the moon passes
directly across the surface of the sun
an annular OF ring eclipse occurs
But as the surface of the moon is
too small to cover entirely the sur
face of the sun, when the centre of
the moon is Immediately over the
centre of the sun ring of the suns
surface is visible all around the
outer edge of the moon. From this
fact the phenomenon takes its name.
