Total Eclipse In 1900

Omciais Making Ready to Observe tho suns
Total Eclipse In 1900.
The United States government il al
ready preparing to take observations
Of the total eclipse of the sun, which is
to take place on May 2S 1900, says the
Atlanta Constitution.
Observation stations will be estab-
lished along the path of the total
eclipse and experienced astronomers
In the service of the government will
be sent down to take observations and
make the astronomical calculations
which 1t is expected will be SO valuable
to science and to astronomy.
1t may seem rather early to begin to
take observations now for an event
that will not occur within the next three
years, but the government will begin
to take observations May 18th, and con-
tinue until the same date In the month
Of June.
These observations will be for the
purpose of determining the best points
at which to establish permanent sta
tions, where the final observations will
be taken during the eclipse of 1900.
The path of the total eclipse will ex-
tend in a direct line from New Or
leans to Norfolk, Virglni,, and will pass
through Georgia in the locality of Ma

rINrs OF BIRDS Zoos.
They Often Disappear When Exposed to
Strong SUNLIGHT.

They OFTEN Disappear When Exposed to
strong Sunlight.
The beautiful and delicate colors OBJ
served on the eggs Of birds are not
very fast to light. more especially when
they belong to the lighter class of col
ors. says Nature. Egg collections
should be carefully protected from the
light by some covering over the case
when they are not being inspected;
otherwise much Of their beauty Of tint
becomes lost in course Of time. 1t is
gratifying to notice that in museums
and natural history collections this
precauttion of protecting egg-cases
with covers is now almost universally
observed. In many instances some Of
the finest and most characteristic tints
of several eggs disappear on exposure
to much sunlight. A common example
may be found In the beautiful pale blue
OF the starling's egg. This, on ex-
posure to sunlight for few days, loses
its clear blueness of tone and becomes
purpler, approaching more to the slate
tint. Such is also the case with most
of the greenish- blue eggs, like those OF
many sea birds. the common guile
mot's, for instance, the beauty of which
largely depends on the clear freshness
Of its blue tints. The writer some time
ago made some experiments on the fast
ness to sunlight of those egg tints.
The method employed was very sim
pie one and may be briefly described as
follows: Various birds eggs were Sc
lected for experiment, those having de-
cided and well-marked colors being
preferred. These shells were halved
lengthwise, care being taken before the
operation to divide II SO that each half
should as nearly as possible present the
same amount OF coloring. One-half
was kept from the light for future COM
parison, while the other half was ex-
posed in a glass case to direct sunshine.
After various exposures amounting to
100 hours sunshine each exposed half
was then compared with its unexposed
counterpart and the changes in hue
carefully noted. Little change was visi-
BILE in the darker color eggs of the olive
brown or chocolate depth. but in the
lighter tints, especially among the
blues and green-blues, the changes be-
came more marked.

A Good Appetite.

How frequently we hear the remark
made when PERSONS indisposition Ia
spoken of: "Oh, he can't have much the
matter with him. He eats well, and there
fore he must be all right" AS matter
Of fact, although a good appetite is some
times considered as a test of the state of
the health, 1t Is not an invariable test, for
often those who are seriously i'll have good
appetites. This Is the case with many con.
sumptives and others, but person with q
bad appetite Is not in good health. There
Is something wrong with him. Appetite
and hunger are generally used synony-
mously, but hunger is more than appetite.
1t is imperious, but is allayed after eating
What Is the best thing to do when the
appetite wanesP The usual remedy Is a
tonic. For want of appetite the real
remedies needed are often rest and sleep,
together with fresh air. Overwork when
feeble Is cause Of loss of appetite. A
change OF food is good remedy. Some
times the regimen has not been varied
enough and the system becomes overbur-
dened with one kind of material, and an
other kind Is deficient. An entire change
Of food may work wonders. change Of
scene, Of thought and of environment are
some Of the best means TO restore faded
appetite for food. Outdoor exercise, work,
sea batbing-all these have good effect,
and promote those changes in the body
which make a demand for food imperative.
These remedies are all natural ones, and
II rightly used can do no harm. New
