From Sire TO Son.

The distinguished actor and dramatist,
Milton Mobiles, and an excellent supporting
company will be the attraction at the
Opera house, Wednesday, March go,
presenting Mr.. Mobiles famous play,
"From Sire to Son., in which he has made
so decided hit. Milton Mobiles as Alfred
Armitage, under the assumed name OF
John Oakley makes d truthful Westerner
of the sixties. He plays the part of a
Californian whose Ii fc is part OF the his
tory of the days OF the gold fields. Doiiie
Mobiles appears in the dual role OF the wife
of Armitage and later as his daughter
Mabel. She is particularly pleasing Is
her mandolin solo of Home, Sweet Home
which she renders at the end of the first
act, and in the same song in the charac-
ter of the daughter in the third act. The
plot of the play, From Sire to son, is
continually interesting, increasing from
the murder in the first act to the culmina-
tion of the play in the old Rhenish castle
where some very realistic acting is done,

The Moons Eclipse.

Mr.. Melville Smith of this city, who
takes great interest in the study Of astron.
omy, and has powerful telescope, has
furnished the Journal with the following
intert sting article:
The following item appeared in the
journal day or two ago. "It will be
IS years before another eclipse of the
moon, similar to that of Sunday night,
will be SEEM
1t seems to me the item is somewhat
misleading. An eclipse of the sun is
caused by the interrogation of the sun s
rays by the moon, while a lunar eclipse
results from the carths shadow falling
upon the moon. The question might be
asked then. why is there not a solar eclipse
at every new moon, and a lunar eclipse at
every full moony The question is an
swered very easily. The plane of the
moons orbit does not coincide with the
ecliptic or plane of the earth's orbit, but
is inclined to it a little over five degrees
and consequently, when in conjunction,
the moon sometimes passes below the
line connecting the earth with the sun,
and sometimes above it, and of course
none of the suns rays are cut off. Eclip-
ses, however, are periodical. An eclipse
like the one last Sunday night, will, for
, centuries, t0come, occur once in about IS
years and II days, and SO with all other
eclipses. This cycle, which was discovered
many centuries before Christ, and by
the Chaldcan astronomers called "Saros, -
enabled the ancients to predict eclipses
with tolerable degree of accuracy The
explanation of this cycle may be Of int r
est and is as follows: The point where
the moon passes from below the plane of
the ecliptic to the opposite side, or, more
properly, from the south to the north
side is called the ascending node; while
the opposite point where it passes from
the north to the south side, is the de-
scending node; and an eclipse occurs
when the moon is at or near one Of its
nodes at the time of near or full moon,
or when, in conjunction with the sun or
in opposition to it. Now the modal points,
owing to peculiar. motion of the moon
in her orbit, have an annual retrograde
motion of about 1917 degrees, 50 that
they make complete revolution around
the ecliptic in about IS years, months
and nine days now it SO happens that
about six months and 2Sr days before this
revolution is completed the moon Will
have performed almost exactly 1913 synodi-
cal revolutions around the earth, bring
ing the sun, moon and earth into almost
precisely the same relative position they
occupied IS years and ] | days before, and
of course, similar eclipse must occur.
On the third of next September there
will be another total eclipse of the moon
visible here. Eighteen years and IL
days from that date, the eclipse will be
repeated. During the is years cycle,
there are usually 90 lunar cclipses and 4
of the sun, each of them being repeated
in Is years and | i days
