of the composition of the corona-what it
consists Of. There is mystery about the
composition of these banners of the sun
that has never yet been solved. Some have
regarded them as consisting of gaseous
matter surrounding the sun, and being,
perhaps, the product of election from It.
Others have thought that they might be
vast swarms of meteors thick about the
sun, and shining in its light, or, perhaps,
something that might be likened to colos-
sal dust clouds surrounding that immense
solar engine to whose unceasing activity
we owe the light and heat and vivifc
forces that make the earth habitable.
1t is hoped that good deal of light
will be thrown upon this question by the
observations of the coming eclipse. Then,
again, the observers of this occasion will
have the advantage of making their OBJ
| servations in a remarkably clear atmos-
phere, for there is no clearer air in the
| world than that of California, where the
eclipse observers will go, and, in addition,
they will place their instruments at high
altitude, some 1000 feet above the sea,
thus getting above much OF the smoke and
stir Oh this dim spot the earth The great
advantage of high altitude from which
TO make observations has been long recog-
nized, and has been emphasized within the
past year by the marvellous achievements
of the great Lick telescope, mounted on
the summit of Mount Hamilton in Califor-
mia. By the way, it is most unfortunate
that the line Of totality runs between 100
and 200 miles north of Mt. Hamilton, and
as it would be impracticable to move so
large an instrument, it will be impossible
for the astronomers to see this interesting
eclipse with the most powerful telescope in
the world. We shall have some very in
teresting news in astronomical circles after
this eclipse is over"-Bostom Herald.

An Aged Ahstainer.

At Larkhall, in Lancashire, England,
there lives an old man named Michael
Smith, who is said to have attained the
unusual age of III years. There seems to
be little doubt as to the truth of this state
meni, for various dates in his life have
been carefully checked off. He was born
at Auchnagurgan and baptized at Bally-
macnab in October, 1776. He married in
the year 1918, when he was declared to be
AZ years of age. Eleven children have
been born to him, of whom the eldest
would now have been SO years old, had
he lived.
Smith has always lived simply and tenn
perately, his chief food being porridge and
milk and potatoes. For the last forty
years he has been an abstainer. Until
five years ago Smith had no illness, and
even now he enjoys excellent health.
Surely, there Is a good example here for
those middle-aged persons who we hear
constantly protesting that at their time of
life it would be dangerous for them to go
without the ''little drops" they have been
used to "all these years." Smith had
reached 20 years of age when he COM
menced to do entirely without liquor. In
his case, with ripeness of years had also
come WISDOM Egchdnqe.

the crocoailes bathing along the sunny
shores, the serpents that hiss and writhe
in the fragrant coverts, the ravenous
sharks and the terrible "man-eaters that
occasionally show their ugly heads in the

from human intrusion as were guarded the
golden apples of the Hesperides.
1t is asserted by those who reside here
that never within the memory of man has

pie, the people have absolutely no money,
and when they wish TO purchase few

became SO universal and alarming that in

was obliged to issue decree which prob
ably has not a parallel in financial circles

The Age of Gambling.

quently said by business men that regular

Bishop of the NJ. E. Church South, who
had been to Conference in Kentucky, and
who gives us quite an insight in the rage
for raising race-horses, which speaks of
betting and fast living generally:

cuse for bringing up no missionary

closed up the distilleries in his
circuit and thrown the people out

was asked what there was peculiar and in
teresting In the eclipse of the sun which is
to occur on the LIST of January next and
for the observation of which Harvard
University has already fitted out costly
expedition to go to the Pacific coast.
:" The path of the total eclipse, as it is
technically called" said Mr.. Serviss, will
begin near the center of the group of the
Aleutian Islands, which stretched across
from Alaskat kamschatka, and sweeping
southwark and eastward over the northern
Pacific will reach the continent a little
north of San Francisco. 1t will continue
on a broad curve, turning northward, and,
crossing Nevada, Idaho and Montana, will
end far up in Canada, about half way be-
tween the western end of Lake Superior
and Hudson Bay. While only observers
along this line will see the sun partially
eclipsed, a total eclipse Will be seen all
ove- the United States. In New York the
eclipse will be just beginning at sunset.
The further west you 50 the better chance
