OTTAWA special: Prof. Stone Virgins,
speaking of the eclipse OF the moon, said it
was not remarkable, except for the fact
that it passed so near the celestial equator.
This, he added, would produce violent at
mospheric disturbances on both the earth
and moon, and q very decided fall Of tenn
pcrature on them. In all probability the
event will be followed by earthquakes on
both hemispheres. The moon, he said,
passed squarely over the earth's shadow
and was Of dark brown color and distinct
ly visible during the eclinse. If it had no
atmosphere to distribute solar rays, as
there is no light in space, it would have
been as black as ink.
