HOW THE PRINCIPLE MIGHT WORK.

1t is likely that the action of the admins
tration in first censuring Commander Reiter
and then refusing him formal hearing is
due to the feeling of the Cabinet that it must
have an ample supply of scape-goats for the
Barrundia affair, and that Mr.. Miner by
himself will not fill the bill. Yet it is to be
questioned whether in its ardent but some

THE practice of changing legislation by

THE practice of changing legislation by
departmental construction is carried to exceed.
ingly questionable lengths in the recent decision
of the Treasury department that sago flour is
dutiable. The Mckinley law specifically
places sago -four on the free list; but the Treas
ury holdsthat it must pay two cents a pound
duty because it is starch. The decision is all
the more remarkable because the starch COM
bination tried to make the tariff law exclude
sago -four it for use as starch from the free
list; but the final form of the bill struck out that
amendment thus showing the express intent of
Congress that all forms of sago flour shall be
admitted free of duty. Under those circum-
stances it is difficult to see how the Treasury
decision can assume any character but an ex-
ecutive attempt to overrule an enactment of
Congress in the interest of a combination de-
clared illegal by the United States statutes.

wonder and admiration OF the most un-

lated to inspire feeling OF reverence
and humiliation in the mind OF every
thoughtful person, especially those who
are interested in the study OF astrono-
my and its marvellous revelations.
THE CAUSE OF EcLIrsEs.
The term eclipse" is derived from
the Greek word ekleipsis, which sisni-
ties to fail, to faint, or swoon away, as
the moon at her full" and period OF
greatest brilliancy, falling into the
slladow OF the earth, was imagined by
the ancients 10 sicken and swoon, as il
she were going to die" An eclipse OF
the moon. as probably most persons OF
ordinary intelligence are aware, is pro.
,duced by the moon passing into the
earth's shadow, which can never occur
except at the time OF ':iull moon," when
the moon is in opposition and rises at
sunset, the earth coming between the
sun and tho moon, and casting 4 dark
shadow over the moons disk. The
carth's shadow being produced BY
the earth ntcrccpting the SUMS

million times larger, it will be obvious
that this shade" must be conical in
form. Ii Q small globe or ball be held
in front OF bright light, and its

or q screen, it will be noticed that

clock will be different in various por-
tons OF the country, and the appear
ance oil the eclipse will be practically
the same to all those who observe it
from that half OF the earth's surface
which is turned away from the sun at
the time; Tor al eclipse OF the moon is
always seen over one half of the earth,
wherever the moon is above tho hort
zon, while an eclipse Of the sun is con-
fined to narrow region OF the earth's
surface, never exceeding 1850 miles in
apartla! eclipse. and seldom more than
100 miles.in one that is total. Every
eclipse 81 the moon, whether total or par
tiai, is visible at the same time to the
whole hemisphere OF the earth which is
turned toward the moon; and the
eclipse will have exactly the same mag
nitudo at every point OF observation.
The coming eclipse will occur only tvs
days after the moon has passed her
pcrigec or nearest point 10 the earth,
and sho will be nearer 10 us than her
average distance. Consequently her
disk will appear somewhat larger, and
her motion will be little more rapid
than usual. The moon moves over a
distance equal TO her diameter in about
ono hour, got that her entire disk will be
immersed in the earth's shadow about
IN hour after she first strikes it, which
will be the beginning OF the total
ECLIPSE. AS the moon will be in her as
cending node crossing the ecliptic
from south to north-she will pass d.
agonally through the earth's shadow in
