THE ECLIPSE
AS Viewed by Astronomers In Va
rious observatories.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. Professor Lewis
Smith, director Of the Warner Observatory
Of Rochester, N. Y, stationed at Nelson,
CAL. telegraphed the following as the result
Of his observation of the eclipse: ''As far
as affording an opportunity to search for in
tra-Mercurial planets. it was failure from
clouds and haze. ALI four contacts were
we'll made, a cbronometer watch, previously
set to Lick Observatory time, being used.
Five very small coloTless protnoerancess were ere
tached from the sun. Bailey's beads were
seen at the second and third contacts, but
were entirely unlike those seen at Denver
in 1878. No chronoscope was visible, though
lS Hle6a Cygni were seen. The Corona could
not be drawn, but as seen. through tele-
scope, was not very extensive.
Part Of the Festivities.
ST. PAUL, Minn., Jan. IA better day
for the observation of the eclipse than, that
given the entire Northwest could scarcely be
conceived Of Clouds were almost unknown
and the warm atmosphere added to the
pleasure with which the people watched the
eclipse, which in this State was about three
quarters. In many parts Of Dakota and
Minnesota New Years Day was celebrated
with picnics, excursions :and ball games !,
observation of the eclipse being part of the
days pleasures.
From the Smith Observatory.
GENEVA, N. Y, Jan. 1.-Prof. Brooks,
director of tile Smith Observatory. secured
an observation of the first contact Of the
eclipse this afternoon, just before sunset.
The disc of the sun was quite conspicuous,
and was notched as 1t sank below the
horizon.
As Seen at Washington.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-The eclipse of the
sun was observed here today at the National
Observatory and Georgetown College. At
the latter point Rev. Father Hagen. the dis
tinguished astronomer now in charge of the
observatory at Georgetown, made observa-
| tlons at 16 minutes before sunset. Owing to
| the low latitude of the sun, the limb was
very unsteady, yet the exceptionally clear

you will, in your new formed state of

SPINNING BINDING Tw1NE.

/ / w
Among tile excuses made for the
high price Of Irvine and against the
building of competing factories is the
plea that 1t takes expensive mac!,in.
cry to make ii. While il may l,c true
that such u plant is necessary at the
present day, yet we believe that all
this expensive machinery Instead of
enhancing, should reduce the price
because the process of preparing and
spinning the fibre by hand labor alone
is simple and inexpensive.
In the spinning OF yarns and warps
for the manufacture of cloths, the
only Improvement over the hand pro.
cess, by that wonderful machine, the
Spinning Jenney or Mule" is rapid.
ty and Il saving of hand labor. Some
of the finest. if not the finest fabrics
of the loom. are still spun and woven
by hand and simple, homemade ma.
chinery. 1t is not SO many years since
the clothing worn Ivy the common PEG.
pie, was grown, spun and woven by
themselves.
The general process of spinning fl.
bre of any nature is simple, and the
old fashioned spinning wheel contains
all the essential points. In the East
Indies, the river boatmen, while lying
in port OF awaiting a cargo, keep a
hank of jute at hand and with Il little
wheel, driven by the foot, spend
their leisure hours III spinning the
cord from which the common burlap
or g,mny sack is woven.
In our boylood, we spent many an
hour watching the rope.makers spin.
ming from MANILA, hemp and sisal,
the yarns which aftcrward twisted
together. were made into ropes and
corlage. The yarns were almost
identical with our binding Irvine and
at that time the elaborate process and
machinery for manufacturing was
thus: Il workman fastened Il huge
bunch of the prepared fibre about his
waist, then spinning out a little string
of fibre from the bunch in front
caught the end on a revolving hook
AMI as the fibre twisted, he stepped
Slowly backward, ut the same time
pulling out and gathering the fibre
with his fingers to the turning cord il
front of linn until lie had gone back
warl to the end of the "rope.walk,
Il distance of several hundred feet
These yarns. thnsspun. were afterwart
twisted together to form rope ant
require the aid of an engine to &c
power. though the twisting machine
. ry it self is simple and inexpensive.
We have not been in u rope factor
for many years. but from the exam
pies we have given of the simplicity o
the process of spinning rope yarns. "
oiS ootiouSN UNIV ttIy machinery III
troduced to manufacture them canno
be intricate, and its introduction coul,
only cheaper the product. and as bind
ing Irvine is only u similar product, i
follows that it is not machinery tia
makes Irvine expensive.
In fact, we believe that it would b.
us possible for u farmer to grow an
manufacture his own Irvine us tina
lie can grow and spin the yarn for hi
stockings. Flax will make II Irvine a
strong and probably with proper ma
nipulation as smooth a Irvine as hem
and in Europe. flax is grown, spun an
manufactured into linen cloth 70
home use by the farmer and his FAM
ly. Why then, ccnnot the farmer i
this country make his own Irvine!
