perfect are the mechanical details of
this display that an effect similar TO
the waving of the flags is produced by
means of varying the density of the
light, and it is difficult for the specta-
tor to realize that the flags are really
stationary and not floating in the air.

A Modern Marvel.

When the Pittsburgh Times took posses
sion Of its splendid building last April, its
publishers promised that the Tines would
grow in excellence In the same proportion
as its quarters have been enlarged. The
Times bad slready won such proud posi-
ton among tie newspapers Of the country
that there was general curiosity to know
how the promise would be redeemed. That
curiosity has been most pleasantly gratifed.
The TINES has been so enlarged, and so
many new features have been added, that it
is eveEywhere cited as a marvel Of modern
journalism. The CHIEF wonder is that a
newspaper, 50 complete in every respect, can
be sold for enc cent day. or $500 per year.
little more than the cost Of frst class

not familiar by personal inspection with

Columbus. Eclipse.

When Columbus hsd Ia anded in the new
world he bestirred his wits 10 think up sone
harmless bit of strategy whereby he could
make the natives respect and fear him he
hsd more than once brought his superior
knowledge into play, during his loug west
ward voyage, ia order 10 quiet the mntinous
spirit OF his crew. and now sgain did he
devise a plan that served as safeguard for
himself and his little feet. Columbus told
the natives that at certain hour Of . cer-
tain day, then near at hand, darkness would
spread across the sky at noon and The sun
would take upon itself the color OF blood.
And, sure enough, at the time thus fDrsei al
happened as be had said. This act made a
| marked impression upon the minds OF the
natives and gave the Admiral an ascendency
that could not othes wise have been obtained
But what really did our Christopher do He
merely foreiold an eclipse Of the sun-an
October eclipse Of which last Thursday 5
shaodwing was a recurring event.
The shade appeared on the sun at 5 min
uies and Sc seconds after Il O'Clock. just 10
seconds late It disappeared at few seconds
after .06 oclock. The point of contact was
p degrees from north on the western limb.
At the time Of greatest obscurity a little less
than two fif,hs Of the suns surface was Yisi-
bic.
The eclipse was visible at all points on the
North American continent except the ex-
tIeme western projections. 1t was also visi-
bic from the West India Islands, from that
portion OF South America lying Immediately
north of the equator and from the Azores
Islands, but not from Europe or Africa. The
eclipse lasted hours and 90 seconds and
covered about three-iths Of the suns surface.
1t could be plainly seen with the aid Of
small piece Of smoked glass.
The once mysterious phenomenon of an
eclipse is now thoroughly understood. 1t is
no longer regarded as the act Of malignant
spirit, but is recognized as purely physical
phenomenon, due to the opaque body Of the
moon intervening tetween the observer and
the sun. AS the moon revolves about the
earth once each month, il mus. once in each
lunar period pass between the sun and the
earth. Usually, however, it passes above or
below the sun, aud is invisible. 1t IS only
when its course leads il directly across the
suns face that it is seen at all. and then only
as q jet black surface tlotsing cut a portion
or occasionally the whole OF the suns disc.
When the situation of the observer comedies
with a line drawn through the center Of the
moon ard the sun the eclipse is total, or
annular. When, as in this eclipse, the lire
Of sight does not correspond exactly with
the centres Of the two bodies portion of the
sun is always visible and the eclipse is
described as partial.
