To understand the character of the

at the time of the August eclipse the shad-
CIV, which began at the near side of the
moon with a diameter equal to the moons,
was truncated, just before it was mar
rowed to o point, by the earth, and fell
upon the earth with a breadth of about
100 miles. 1t was as if the moon took a
monster paint brush. nodded it to a point,
and, applying a little pressure, drew a
narrow black line around that part of the
earth which reyClved within reach. Inc
black line, or band. or shadow, marked
the earth from a point west of Norway,

Finland, Northern Russia and Siberia,
the Pacific Ocean. and some of the north
EN- islands of Japan. OF these last it fell
upon Soya and the north end of Yezo,
Mombetsu and Yubetsu. From Yubetsu
it went ON, falling upon mountains 5000
or 1000 feet high, and continued over the
ocean some hundreds of miles, and then
vanished. Within this long, hundred
mile wide belt of darkness the several Oh
serving parties took stand at different
points. The French. German and Italian
astronomers made observations from Nor
way and Finland, near Varanger Fjord,
at Vadso and Vardo in Finland. The
eclipse there was shorter than at Yezo.

WEALTH OF THE ASTORSs
Not Known TO the Public. bat Il IL n.
Iisved to Be Immenss.


The Astors-William Waldorf and John
Jacob-are undoubtedly the largest indi-
yidual owners of real estate in Gotham.
Like the founder OF their house, they have
always regarded city land az the best and
safest investment Old John Jacob first
became q real estate owner in 1889, when
he bought for $25 a lot OF land ON the
Bowery near Elizabeth street. Twenty
one years later he was the largest holder
of real estate In town, and his descendants
have ever since kept the lead In this re-
spect. In 1895 he sold the Astor House
for 81. William b. Astor had expressed
desire to own it, whereupon John Jacob
told him that he would sell it to him for
the amount named The bargain was con-
cluded on the spot. The greatest care has
always been taken to keen the exact value
OF the Astor estate from becoming public.
When John Jacob Astor died, he was said
to be worth $20. OOO. 600 At William b..
Astor's death it was reputed that he wa&
worth $50, 600. 600. but this estimate has
been declared too low. A few millions
could be added with safety at present, and
every hour increases the valuation.
Ever since 1911 the Astor family has

Eskimo Astronomy.

The polar inhabitants of the northern
regions visited by Lieutenant Peary have
definite but limited ideas of astronomy.
In writing of them Peary says that they
recognize the Great Dipper ~ a herd of
reindeer; the three triangular stars Of
Cassiopea are the three stones supporting
celestial stone lamp; the Pleiades are
tcan of dogs in pursuit Of bear; the three
glittering brilliants in the belt OF Orion
are the steps cut by some celestial Eskimo
in steep snowbank to enable him to climb
to the top,
Gemni arc two stones in the entrance
to an igloo; Arcturus and, Aldebaran are
personifcations, and the moon and sun are
a maiden and her pursuing lover.
These Eskimos estimate time by the
movements of the stars as we'll as by the
position Of the sun, and yet, less observant
than were the Arab Shepherds they have
not noticed that one star is the center about
which all the others move, nor have they
set apart the planets, which to them are
simply large stars. = Whether this is due to
the fact that the movements of stars can
be observed during only about three
months in-the year, it is impossible to say.

An Economical Dairy.

A man living in a town in which ague
Is prevalent has turned the affliction to
good account. He has gone into the dairy
business, and has built large churn,
operated by a'spring board. Every day
butter is made, and the way 1t is churned
is unique. The proprietor 'of this. ,littls
dairy explained Its operation to his neigh
Dor. "You see," he said, "none Of usdoes
any extra work; SO l call.it clear profit.
Monday always shake in the morning,
and my wife in the afternoon. Tuesday
Jim and Sallie shake; Wednesday, Bob
and George; Thursday, Ella and Minnie;
Friday, Tom and Bill, and Saturday,
Charlie and Eliza. When the shakes come
on, we all just go and stand on the spring
board and they always last long enough
to bring butter in the churn. So 1t ain'e
any extra trouble. New York Tribune.
