reality the shadow covered little more
than half of it. While It seemed to move
very slowly to those who observed It, It

1000 miles an hour, or rather the moon
was travelling into the shadow at that

After O'Clock. the shadow began to

THE MOON UNDER A SHADOW.
SAVANNAHTANs HAD A PERFECT
NIGHT FOR THE ECLIPSE.

The Phenomenon Witnessed by
Half the City-FOur-Fifths of the
Moon Seemed 10 BE in Darkness
The Altitude of the Planet and
the Atmospheric Conditions Gave
Every Opportunity for Observing
the Unusual Event.
The eclipse OF the moon came on this
morning on schedule time. II was a per-
feet night; the atmosphere was clear and
there was not a cloud in the sky. Many
people remained up to witness the phe-
nomenon, and they were repaid.
A few minutes after midnight a dark
shadow appeared on the eastern limb Of
the moon. 1t was faint at first. but grad
ually crept on to the luminous edge when
the contact began.
The eclipse proper began at y o. olock,
"a minutes and 30 seconds. From then on
the dark shadow. although It did not to
tally obscure the moon, gradually in
creased in size until more than three
fOurths Of its surface was in semi-dark-
ness. The moon was high in the heavens
and the perfectly clear sky gave those of
an astronomical turn Of mind full oppor-
tunity Of viewing the unusual phenome-
non.
An opportunity like that of this morning
is seldom had for observing an eclipse.
The conditions were perfect. The altitude
of the moon was such that every phase of
the event could be observed. The times of
the various phases meridian or city time
were as follows:

The Ogeechee is the most popular road
around Savannah now. More riders pat
ronize it than any other. The reasons Tor
this are many. First. it is the best road
running out Of Savannah, and there is no
toll to pay. This latter may be small
matter when one goes road riding but
seldom, but for the road hibitue who takes
spin on the road every evening ii
amounts to a great deal in the course of a

Now the Farmers of Raw Valley Want to
Corner the Potato Market.
KANSAS CITY, Mo, Oct. 6. The po-
tato growers of the Kaw valley have
effected a combine and an effort will
be made to have the railroads extend
the low rates to Texas for the next 30
days, in order that the growers may
have time to dig their potatoes. The
mbers of the combine also intend to
hold the price of their crop at
not lower than % cents per
bushel, and if this price cannot be OBJ
tanned they will hold them for at
least 80 days. They say that they can
clear at least 25 cents on every bushel
shipped to Texas, and unless the local
dealers will pay that price they will
ship. The growers claim that it costs
them 20 cents to raise their potatoes,
and they will not sell for cost, if they
can help it.
