SO AS TO OBSERVE THE PHENOMENON
Norfolk is Directly In tho Area or

Place from which to Wake Obser-
vntions, Which Arc Expected TO be
Of Great Astronomical vnlue.

That useful department Of the public
service. Uncle Sans Weather Bureau,
mas entered within the week into ex-
tensive and highly interesting expert
ments, with @ view to determining the
state of the sky at Weather Bureau sta
lions along the line Of the total eclipse
OF the sun, which will occur on May
28th. 1900.
The phenomenon will be visible all
over the United States, but the area. in
winch theleclipse will be total extends in
direct belt about seventy-hve miles
WIDE running due northeast and south
west from Norfolk to New Orleans.
The States In which the Observable
are being taken are Virginia, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia. Ala
bama. Mississippi and Louisiana
OBJECT OF OBSERVATION.
The object Of the observations now In
progress at the various weather stations
III the territory above mentioned are
primarily to determine what point will
be the most advantageous from which
to observe the eclipse
Observations are taken every morning
ut o'clock. ait $50 and at 0. The state
OF the sky each time is carefully regis
tered. with regard to general clou diness
anu especially the position OF cloud
banks near the sun. This data, taken
eis 1t Will be, for a month each year for
three years, will be Of ncalculable ad-
vantage in determining the place where
It will be best to locate the most elabo-
rate apparatus for observing the eclipse

VALUE TO ASTRONOMY.

The value of a careful study OF eclipses
TO astronomy IS very great. The work of
the Weather Bureau beng confined en-
tirely to the gathering and recording
OF meteorological data. from which the
state of the weather can be very exactly
prognosucated. 1t, therefore, has 10
interest In astronomical phenomena
other than q desire for the general adj
vancement Of science. It has. therefore,
undertaken to proSnosticate the state of
the atmosphere on the occasion of the
eclipse for the benefit Of those astrono-
1nerS and other scientists who may de-
sire to observe, photograph and study
the first great total eclipse in twenty
wears

Japanese Gardening,

The Japanese have the art OF dwarf
ing trees to mere shrubs, and of culti-
waiting plants in a similar way. The
people take great delight in their min
iature gardens, which require a special
gardener to keep them down to desired
limits. The author of "On Short Leave
to Japan" writes: "A Japanese gar
den is generally about ten yards square.
and in this small space is found park
and demesne, with lake, summer
house, temples, trees, all complete. and
all in keeping with the dimensions
available. The lake is four feet long
and full of small goldfish On the bor-
der stands a pine-tree, exactly eight
cen inches high and fifty years old: be-
meath it's shade is a temple carved out
Of one piece of stone the size of a
brick. On a lofty crag of some Two
and half feet stands a fine maple
tree, perfect in form and shape. fft, en-
years old and twelve inches high. We
bought three of these miniature trees
later-a maple, pine, and a bamboo
clump-each about fifteen years old
and eighteen inches 10 two feet high.
growing in shallow dishes We were
told Of complete garden contained in
a shallow two-dozen wine case. Every
thing was complete, down to the fish in
the lake, sheet of water only a few
inches square, and the foot bridges
over the watercourses. Tea houses
there were. and numerous trees Of
various kinds. each about six inches
high. Old as the hills these, but full
of vitality, ana yet never growing big

IRRIGATION.
Oldest System of Agriculture Known to
the Human Race.

Oloeot system OF Agriculture known 70
the Human Race.
1t is fair to presume that the popular
conception Of irrigation and its posi-
bilities is vague and indistinct with the
mass OF people living east Of the Mis-
sissippi river, although it is the oldest
system Of agriculture known to the
human race, says Lippincott's. The
richest and most productive portions
of the earth have been cultivated in
this manner for thousands Of years
and yet maintain the densest popula-
tions-in India 200 to 600 to the square
mile; in Italy ESQ to 450; in Egypt near
ly 500, and so on. This oldest of arts
was practiced by the ancient Arabians,
Assyrians, Babylonians and Chinese
and has always formed a part of the
agriculture of the countries bordering
on the Mediterranean. The plains of
Oman in Arabia are watered by sub
terranean canals supplied by reser-
voirs in the mountains and vegetation
Of rare luxuriance, consisting of most
of the fruits and grains of Persia, is
produced in consequence. The plains
Of A5syria and Babylonia are covered
with an immense system OF canals,
some Of them hundreds OF miles in
length, intended partly for irrigation
and partly for navigation. On the
American continent the ancient inhab-
itants OF Peru were found by their
Spanish conquerors in the use OF the
most costly works for irrigating their
lands. Prescott says: Canals and
aqueducts were seen spreading over
the country like a network, diffusing
fertility and beauty around them. %
The Aztecs of Mexico also made use
Of similar means to counteract the
dryness of their atmosphere, and in
the beautiful gardens of AZtapalapan, /,
watered by canals and moistened by
the spray Of fountains, was exhibited
to the astonished Spaniards a perfec-
tion Of horticulture at that time un-
known in their own country.

New VS.. Old City Charter.

a mass meeting was held in the
council room Monday evening for the
purpose of discussing the merits and
dement's Of our present special city
charter also what is known rs the
general charter for cities of the first,
second, third and fourth classes: J. A.
Gaynor opened the discussion by giving
his reasons why he favored the adop-
ton of the general charter. He was
followed by Mr.. Geo. l.. Williams who
opposed the adoption of the general
charter and gave bis reasons for oppos-
ing its adoption. Judge Geo. r.
Gardner gave his reasons for favoring
the new charter while DR.. G.. F. Witter
gave his for opposing. The arguments
were good on both sides and we thought
little in favor of the general charter.
The small audience present was in
doubt and did not like to indicate their
sentiments for both charters are
probably wanting. Those who did in-
dicate their preference was in favor of
continuing under the old charter, but
the small audience present was probably
not good indication Of the sentiment in
the community, The council are at
liberty to act Their best judgment in the
matter.
