The Kauai nominations are excel

The Kauai nominations are excel
lent. They mean, that all of the
nominees can be depended upon to
support constitutional government
as opposed to one man power or the
control of an oligarchy. Mr.. Kanoa
is one of the most sensible and clear
headed of Hawaiians, and his pres
ence in the Legislature will be at
once a help and an inspiration to
others of his race. MIR. Knudsen
has a Legislative record which pre-
cludes the possibility of his sup
porting any retrogressive or unwise
measures. Mr.. McBryde is new
man, but his sturdy Scotch ancestry
indicates that he can be depended
upon wherever the rights of the
people clash with private or per-
sonal interests. The others on
both tickets have well established
records. The whole ticket is admir-
able and will no doubt receive the
support of natives and foreigners
and be elected. The other islands
will do we'll if they get such repre-
sentative and good men. The ticket
is one which cemmends itself to all,
and is in line with the whole policy
advocated by the ADVERTISER.

Mr.. EDITOR: The following COM

is thought to be of sufficient general
interest to warrant its publication in
your columns. The writer of the

the medical world as a conscientious

hospital spoken of, from which lepers
have been sent out cured is situated
at Bergen, Norway.

partial everywhere. In solar eclipse. it will
be remembered the phases vary for different
parts of the earth, while the times follow the
sweep Of the moons shadow over that part OF
the earth which il strikes. Again, in lunar
eclipse, the moon is actually deprived of her
borrowed light, while in 3 solar eclipse the sun
is merely hidden for the time being.
The moon moves toward the east faster than
the earth land its shadow and, therefore, the
lunar eclipse begins on the eastern edge of the
moon.

once loses part of her light. The darkening

the phenomenon begins with her entrance into
the shadow: still, at times, the darkening by
the penumbra has been evident to the eye.
The difference in the intensity of darkness
of the shadow is very plain, as the dusky vail
slowly draws over the face of the moon. The
shadow is not, however, OF solid black.
When the lunar eclipse becomes total, the
moon does not always disappear to our gaze;
indeed, the occasions when her total disap-
pearance has been noted are very few. The
moon is nearly always still seen shining, but
the color of her light undergoes remarkable
change. 1t becomes dull-reddish or copper-col-
ored, the tinge varying under different circum-
stances.

came near being routed at Arbela by the appear
anee of an eclipse.
lunar eclipse was the cause Of the begin
ming of the decadence Of Athens through the
death Of the Athenian General Aicias and the
ruin of his army in Sicily. An expedition for
which Athens had prepared for three years,
and which, if il had been successful, might
have made Athens instead of Rome, the mis-
tress Of the world, came ing!0riously TO an end.
Instances Of this kind without number might
be given where superstition coupled with lgnor-
ance made of an eclipse an event OF dire con-
sequence
The supernatural feeling attendant upon
eclipses has disappeared since their causes have
been explained and the prediction OF their oc-
currence has been assured. The latter result
has, however, been attained with to-days COM
parative accuracy only by the constant and I'M
wearied observation Of the heavenly bodies, es-
pecially Of the moon, by astronomers during
centuries.
The great English observatory at Greenwich
was founded principally for observation Of the
moon, and that object has been steadily pur-
sued down to the present day since the latter
part of the 18th century. The Obseryatorles
established by the leading nations continue
the observations and computations by which
our precise information is gained through long
and laborious processes.
The old feeling regarding eclipses is aptly
described by the poet in the weil-known lines

Eclipses are the most generally interesting
Of celestial phenomena, as their principal fea-
lures can be conveniently observed without

Garrick's death, which was said to have eclipsed

thing is often seen tsunset The solar rays pass
ing through a much greater thickness Of the
eaTth's atmosphere horizontally than at noon
day. are tinged with red when they meet our
eyes. Hence the brilliant coioring at times OF
sunsets. In the case of a lunar eclipse, the rays
have a still greater thickness Of atmosphere to
pass through, and lose all color but the red The
conditions of the atmosphere where the rays eff
feet their passage influence the details of the
phenomenon. ii has happened that all rays have
been stopped or absorbed, so that the moon has
entirely disappeared leaving no trace of her
presence in the sky. Again, under opposite
conditions, the moon even in the shadow has
been known to shine so clearly as to lead the
uEiniyiated 10 doubt the fact of an eclipse.
Both of these extreme cases are, however, very
rare.
Another rare case, at least rs regards record
ed observation, is a lunar eclipse with the sun
apparently above the horizon, as well as the
moon. Refraction, which, as has been remarked,
bends the rays of light into the carth's shadow
causes, under various meteorological condi-
tons many curious phenomena one these is
known as mirage, bringing into view distant
objects hidden by the curvature of the earth.
A like phenomenon apparently raises the sun

true place; indeed, we often see the sun when he
has III reality sunk below the horizon, or when
rising, before he has come above the horizon.
solar rays in traversin the earth's atmosphere
in line between US a the sun. Under GER
tain conditions the eff is more marked, and
the sun in setting re. inns still longer than
ordinarily above the horizon, incidentally-to
our advantage lengthening the day. 1t will
readily be conceived that if an eclipse occurs at
place when the sun is setting and the moon
rising, an extraordinary refraction may raise
the sun very much above the horizon when he
has set. And the same for the moon before
she has actually risen. To see q total lunar
eclipse before sunset, it is necessary that then
the moon be rising at the middle OF the
eclipse.
It sometimes happens that the dull red color
spread over the moons surface during a total
lunar eclipse does not have the same shade at
different points on the moon. In one part of
the moons surface all the details may be OBJ
scured, in another plainly visible Such a
difference IS due, without doubt, to a varying
density of the atmosphere, the presence or alb
seuce of vapors, the grazing in one place of the
land, IN another of the ocean by the solar rays,
affecting the absorption of the variously-co
ored rays nnequally. The presence of foreign
substances in the earth's atmosphere if widely
distributed, may also affect the appearance of
the moon during an eclipse.

the means Of finding how far east or west one
place is as compared with another If the time
of phase at each station is noted By clocks

leads 10 the determination Of the longitude.
Say the beginning Of tie lunar eclipse occurs

the latter station is one hour, or I5e, of longi-
tude west of the former; since the "a hours Of
the whole day correspond to 300 OF a whole

longitude are referred 20 the prime meridian
Of Greenwich. The uses Of lunar eclipses for
such purposes are now very limited. The
electric telegraph furnishes US the means of
comparing clocks at different stations much
more readily and accurately.
IT wiH be observed, as the earth's shadow
gradually intr1des on the shining surface OF
Our satellite, that the limiting edge Of the ad-
vancing shadow is not a straight line but
curved, and the curve is the arc Of a circle
This furnished an early-recognized proof OF
