Is cloudy on the borderland of light and
darkness round our globe, the moon is in
visible. This occurred during the total
eclipses of 1912, 1851, 1916, and according to
some authorities in 1884 and 1886. The
eclipse of 1761 is thus described by q COM
petent observer: 1.-THE moons body had
disappeared so completely that not the
slightest trace of any portion of the lunar
disk could be discerned either with the
naked eye or with the telescope, although
the sky was clear and the stars in the
vicinity of the moon were distinctly visible
in the telescope"
As meteorological science is still In its
infancy, it is impossible to predict which
condition will predominant on the evening
of next Tuesday.
AS represented in the second diagram
the lunar disk is midway in the shadow at
9:57, and an hour later the totality will be
past and slender crescent will glimmer
not far from the meridian, an unwonted
place and hour for the appearance of that
familiar outline.
Having again rapidly repeated its phases
in reversed order the shadow will pass off
on the western limb beyond those we'll
known craters, Langrenus and Petavius,
and ITO degrees from the north point or a
little south of west, and at midnight it will
shine from the meridian in full outline,
though almost lmperceptibly dimmed by
the penumbra.
At :O6 A. NJ September its usual radi-
ance will be resumed, and it will not be
totally eclipsed again to observers on this
coast during the present century.

Aquarius will glimmer out, no longer
dimmed by the radiance of the orb of
night. A close watch even with an opera
glass will show that some of these stars in
the path of the moon disappear suddenly
from view on the east side and reappear on
the west side, for though self-luminous and
independent of the earths shadow their
occultation by the darkened moon is more
noticeable than at other times when lost in
its Iuster. A careful noting of the exact
time of these phenomena helps to define
the place of the moon very accurately, and
it is thus useful and interesting observa-
ton.
The moon, having passed, rapidly through
all its phases, wanders in gloom for
thousands of miles, not really bereft of
any attribute essentially its own, but tenn
porarily restored to its innate opacity.
For the brief space of 1 hour IL minutes
it has its true footing among the heavenly
bodies as a cold, dark encrusted sphere
whose existence would be forever unknown
if it were beyond the reach of sunlight.
1t also reminds us OF what our world
would be under similar circumstances. In
q solar eclipse the small lunar shadow
obstructs the light but for a few minutes
from an area of the earth only about $50
miles in diameter. Though the moon is
said to be totally eclipsed when within the
earth's shadow the statement needs to be
modified, as may perhaps be demon
strated on next Tuesday evening. 1t fire.
quently happens that even when in the
depth of the shadow it remains dImly Wis
ible, like faded photograph of its Iumin-
Gus aspect.

BRAN RESCUE STATIONS.

Salvation Army Beulah Work to Be Ex-
tended Throughout the State.
The Salvation Army is about to estab-
lish series of rescue stations throughout
the State in connection with the Home for
Girls at Beulah. An officer will be in
charge of each station, and the work of
the soldiers under his or her charge will
be entirely in the effort to take young girls
away from dangerous and demoraliziIg
surroundings.
There will be several stations in San
Francisco and corps for the work will also
be established in Sacramento, San Jose,
Stockton and Los Angeles, and other
cities may eventually be included.
The Beulah Rescue Home has been found
a successful means of reformation in many
cases. and the object of the managers in
establishing the branch stations is to open
the doors of the institution to all who may
desire to seek that refuge.
1t is expected that the new stations will
be in charge of the women of the army,
among whom are included some of the
most prominent of the officers on this
coast,

WANTS TO ENGAGE EE-QUEEH.
an Offer Made to LiliuOkalani by
an Enterprising Snowman.
!. willing to Paw Her $500 a Week. and
Thinks There IL n Fortune
I'm the Scheme.

The enterprising American show
man, whether he be the owner Of a
hurdy-gurdy outfit, a dime museum
or a circus, has long ago established
a reputation for sensational origin
ality. Even phoenix Barnum,
who was the pioneer in such work,
had his beet efforts eclipsed by
some of his successors. No start
ling event has occurred in years
that the Snowman has not seized
upon, and in some way or other
managed to make money out of it,
says a late issue of the S. F. Call.
In their efforts to satisfy the
morbid curiosity of the people who
have had their appetites for this
sort of thing aroused, and in order,
too, to secure the elusive dime,
these same showmen have not drawn
the line at anything. Respects for
feelings or regard for decency even
have not been considered, notably
in the case of murderer Guiteau's
clothes and an embalmed body of
an electrocuted assassin.
The latest move by the ubiquit-
Gus Snowman has been made in
Honolulu According to a private
letter received by a gentleman in
this city a dime museum manager
who is now in the islands, has con-
ceived a notion that if he could
prevail upon ex-Queen Liliuoka-
lani to place herself under his man
agement for exhibition purposes !;
not only bis fortune would be
made, but the ex-queen, he says,
could raise sufficient funds to carry
on a revolution on large scale if
she go desiredI Of course the
gcheme depends upon two things,
viz, fret, that the ex-queen is not
sent to prison and second, that
she is willing to join in the affair.
The writer says that an offer Of
$500 a week and expenses has been
made by means of a letter that was
sent to her majesty, in which also
was an elaborate outline of the pro-
position. The manager is very en-
thusiastic over it, but, as he says
in conclusion, that no reply has
been received to the letter, it is
evident that her humbled majesty
is not enrapport with the plan.
Those who know the ex-queen say
that there is no probability of the
offer being accepted, and that the
letter will be treated
with contempt.

NatiODaIC Cane Shredder
tPATENTED UNDER THF Laws "P
THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS

Mr.. John A. Scott, Manager
of the Hilo Sugar Company
gives the following wonderful.
record of the working of the
NATIONAL CANE SHRED
DER, which was erected by
their works at the commence
ment of the crop Just har-
vested:
During the past week the
HilO Sugar Company'S mill ex-
ceeded any of its former
records by closing the 1876
hours grinding with an output
of 3OO3 tons. This is fully 10
per cent. more than the best
work of former years.
"The three roller mill being
26 in. by 81 in. and the two
roller mill 80 in. by so in. The
first mill doing this amount of
work in an efficient manner
and with great ease, compared
with work on whole cane,
owing to thorough preparation
of the cane by the National
Cane Shredder, recently cree
ted by the Company. And
by its use the extrac-
ton las been increased from
8 per cent. to 5 per cent. on all
kinds of cane, and in some
cases 80 per cent. has been
reached; the average being IS
to 78 per cent, according to
quality.
81 continue to find the
megass from shredded cane
better fuel than from whole
cane.
"The shredder has been
working day and night for
seven months and has given
me entire satisfaction, having
shredded during that time
about seventy thousand tons
of cane, and a large part of it
being hard ratOonS

repeated again and again with increas-
