SOL TO BE EcL1rsED TO-DAY.
The shadow VIII he Greatest at 9.sO

For the first time since oct. 20, 1892. sa-
vannahians viii have an opportunity to-
day to view an eclipse OF the sun, pro-
vidirg Of course, the sky is clear.
The eclipse is what is known as an an
nular eclipse of the sun. one in which the
moons shadow. at the middle of the
eclipse, is not large enough to completely
cover the face of the sun, but leaves a
ring of light encircling the eclipsed portion.
This phenomenon, however can only be
seen in a limited belt. The path of the
annulus. as the region in which the eclipse
is annular is called, passes from a point
in the Pacific ocean, across Mexico, Cuba,
and a few Of the Windward Islands. touch
ing Cape st. Rogue, ending in the South
Atlantic ocean.
The beginning and end Of the eclipse have
been specially calculated for the Morning
News in 18th meridian or city time as fol-
lows: II. NJ S.
Eclipse begins ................ S q % a. m.

The first contact will occur on the west

north point ana the last contact on the
eastern limb 1872 degrees from the north
point. ABOUT thTec-TOurthS or the sun
diameter on the southern side will be OBJ

At the time of greatest observation there
will be a sensible dlminution in light. II
an opera or field glass is protected by

views may be obtained by such means.
While observations viii undoubtedly be
made al all the obserVatories in the eclipse
region. no expeditions will be sent out TO
observe this eclipse. While very inter
esting from a popular standpoint, the
scientific facts TO be learned from an an
nulsr eclipse are not regarded as very
important.
This is the second and last eclipse of
the year. the other having been a partial
eclipse of the sun on Feb. l.

Mr.. E. H. Hinton, traffic manager of the
Central railroad, will return to-day from
Atlanta, accompanied by Mrs Hinton,
whom he went to meet at that city on her
Way to her new home at Savannah While
Mrs. Hinton is here she and Mr.sHinton

come to Savannah about Oct /, with her
daughters, to make this their permanent
home.
President H. Nj. Conner Of the Central
railroad and supt. T. d. Kline are in At
lanta on business connected with the ad-
ministration of the roads affairs.
AS was expected a large majority Of the
South Georgia excursionists waited to re-
turn home on the last train possible for
them to take on their tickets This was
the train leaving here yesterday afternoon
at 44O O'Clock. There were fifteen
coaches for the convenience of the excur-
sionists.
The Plant system has handled a total
of 1897 carloads of watermelons this sea-
son up to July q. Up to the same time
last year 2,220 carloads were hauled, and
the year before the number was 1899 In
1894, up to the same day, the business had
amounted TO 27St cars.
A union basket picnic to Tybee will be
given from the line of the Central railroad
between here and Augusta on Aug. g. The
Sunday schools of all the towns along the
route will combine for the picnic, which
is an annual affair, and always attracts
large crowds. Last year the date of the
excursion fell upon Aug 5, as it does now
and there We're a large number of Sun
day school children with their elders, who
came down for the pleasures of a basket
picnic and a dip in the surf. There will
be a special train coming down and re-
turning and very low rates for the round
trip have been authorized.
Freight Traffic Manager d. f. Jack of
the Plant system, returned yesterday from

dersonville. S775 to Lenair, SS.75 to Way
nesville, and $3.50 10 Saluda have been
authorized for the round trip from Savan-
nah. The unusual limit OF twenty days
will doubtless prove a great attrac ton for
the public on this excursion. The first
year Il was run ten days was the limit
Since then, however. II has gradually been
increased. The excursion tickets will be
sold over the Florida Central and Penin-
sular and Central railroad.
