HI COMING ECLIPSE.
An Annual Eclipse of the Sun on March
18th.

On March l6 will occur an annulaI
eclipse of the sun, visible in the Uni
ted States and British America l,
is the return of the annular eclipse of
February II, 1881. In 1881 the cen-
trail line passed over Texas in a north
easterly direction being last visihI,
on this continent in parts of Virginia
and North Carolina.
Efforts will be made to photograph
Jhe eclipse during its entire progress.
if the sur is not wholly obscured by
clouds. The event may furnish al
opportunity to determine whether
the moon has anything like an atmos-
phere. AS the sun is likely to show
a number of spots of considerable ex-
tent upon the date of the eclipse, it
will be observed with added interest.
Telescopists who have notshade glass
es for solar observation will find It
very interesting to throw the suns
image upon a white + a little re-
moved from the eyepiece of the tele-
scope.
There will be a partial eclipse of
the on the 30th, invisible in
the United States, but visible in Asia,
eastern Europe and Africa. The
magnitude of the eclipse is 0.886 of
the moons diameter.

A few weeks since we copied an
item from the st. Louis press about
a Rev. Newell, of Mexico, being in
Jail in Iowa for stealing a bible. We
gave it for what it was worth. Our
contemporary branded the item as 3
lie and took occasion every day OF SO
to deny in strong language that there
was any truth in the item. We were
a little surprised that our usually, to
say the least. not fast contemporary
should be SO exercised about this
item and thought maybe as usual
they were because the LEDGER
gave the item first. We investigated
the matter with the following result:
K. ii White, Esq. Mexico. Mo-.
kEoKUK, Iowa, March 5.-DEAR
SIR am sorry 10 say l have neg
lected tu answer yours of Fehl uary
26 until now, but have been busy
and overlooked it.
Yesterday I went to the county
jail here and found out the following
in regard TO Rev. Newell from the
sheriff. j. S Newell was released
from Jail here February 2l. He said
lie lived in Mexico and would return
there as soon as released. He adj
mitted having stolen the bible and
said he was willing to suffer for it.
The sheriff described him as a tall,
slim man, with side whiskers and
wore a long Prince Albert coat. This
was all the information he could
give.
If you know a man in your city
named Ed Pitcher and if you should
see him give him my kiLdest re-
CARDS and he will give you some H.
formation regarding me.
Yours Very Truly.
