APPEARANCE OF THE ECLIPSE AT IT'S BEST.

Lake Huron in the face of q bowling gale
from the northwest against the protesta-
tons of the passengers. When out about
twelve miles the captain decided to run
back, and was within about three miles
of Fort Gratiot when the boat struck a
raft of logs in tow of the tug Vigilant
The shock threw the passengers out Of
their berths, and in an instant women and
children in sentative were rushing fran
tically about, while men became alarmed.
The passengers were assured by the Off
GERS, however, that everything was all
right, and every one took time to get fully
dressed and await developments.
In trying to extricate herself the boat
lost her rudder, leaving her at the mercy
of the waves and amid thousands of logs
that were continually pounding her sides.
Shortly after ward one of her wheels was
also broken by striking a log, and she
was left in an entirely helpless condition
almost in midlake in total darkness. The
vessel then began to drift toward the
Canadian shore, and after half an hour
the boat struck the beach hard, and ca
reened over to one side with the waves
breaking over her. The captain refused
to launch any boats until daybreak. Soon
after daybreak all passengers were taken
off in safety, women and children first be-
ing taken ashore, followed by the men,
and lastly by the crew. The wrecked YES
sci was valued at SIT, 200, and insured for
$4,000. She was built in 1877 and re-
built in 1885,

cisco or Rio Janeiro, just as the shadow
of tree cast upon house appears the
same from whatever point of view it is
looked at. A solar eclipse is caused by
the passage of the moon between us and
the sun. To see it one must be so sltuat-
ed that the range is right, just as to see
distant house exactly behind soaae near
object, as g tree, one must so stand that
the tree is exactly i'm line with hlm ana
the house. If he moves from this line, to
the right or the left, the tree changes ITS
position with reference to the house, ana
when he bas moved to certain distance
it ceases altogether to range with the
house. In the case of a solar eclipse the
sun is the distant house; the moom is the
tree.
Since this moon is a comparatively small
body, only about 1000 miles in diameter,
while the diameter of the earth is nearly
5000 miles, there is upon the earth ample
room for getting off of the range when
the earth is passing the sun. Thus, to
an observer situated Thursday anywhere
on the twenty-five mile line above To-
Gated, say at Havana, the moon appeared
to pass directly across the sums face,
its center moving along the line marked
on the diagram Moons PATH in the di-
rection indicated by the arrow. One cir
.cumstance only prevented the eclipse from
being total for that observer, and this was
that the moon being at very nearly her
greatest distance from the earth, her APP
parent size was at its least and showed
less than that Of the sun.
For an observer at Washington the
range was different. To him the moons
center appeared to pass along the line
marked AB, so that it's upper limb just
rea ehed the suns center. An observer
i'm about latitude Sc was still farther off
of the range. To him the moon, could 1T
be seen, would have seemed to move along
the line CD. Its upper edge would have
;a,st grazed the lower edge Of the sun ia
nassing and there would have been no
eclipse. Much less could there be an
eclinse for an observer still farther north.
Away back in 1869 the last total eclipse
Of the sun which was visible in this part
of the country took place. Since then.
hoveyer, there have been sew IL total
eclipses which were visible from other
narts Of the United States. The most
notable of these was the eclipse of 1878.
Tt was observed from the neighborhood
of Denver and was fruitful of sclentlhc
results. Far more frequent are partial
eclipses. the area which these cover being
very wide. A total eclipse is rare &C.
currence, and it is not often that the
shadows from two of them are received by
the same locality in hundred years.

ECLIPSE OF THE sun.
MOON PARTIALLY OBSCURES
OLD SOL.
Event Visible in the United States
With Smoked Glass the Fiery Cres-
cent and Lunar Shadow Could Be
Seen.
Sun In a Shadow.

On Thursday, between the hours of :
and 10 a. M, central standard time, the
moon, in the course of her monthly round
of the heay ems, passed directly between
the earth and the sun. The consequence
was an eclipse of the sun, which was Wis
ible throughout the United States, in
Mexico, the West Indies, Central Amer
lea, the northern half of South America,
over good portion of the Atlantic ocean
and on the west coast of Africa.
TO observers within the districts bound
ed by an imaginary line drawn from the
central part of New Mexico to Tampico
and thence to Havana, the Windward
Islands and Lake st. Rogue the outer
edges Of the sun assumed the appearance
of ring Of fire. To the fact that the
moon appeared smaller than the sun was
due the lack of totality in the eclipse as
viewed from the earth, though to the
putative inhabitants of some of the other
planets the eclipse may easily have been
total. On this sphere there was, however,
no region Of total eclipse. And even in
the Genital American districts from which
the annular band could best be seen, the
fiery ring lasted for only a few minutes.
AT Washington and across the whole of
the United States at points in about the
same latitude as Westinghouse degrees,
90 enthusiastically one-half of the suns
face (the lower half was yelled.
An eclipse of the sun is quite differ
emit affair from an eclipse of the moon. A
lunar eclipse is caused by the passing of
the moon through the earth's shadow. 1t
is visible from every point on the earth S
surface from which the moon itself is Wis
lble at the tfme-that is, over one entire
hemisphere of the earth. Furthermore, a
lunar eclipse, whether total or partial, pre-
SCENTS one and the same appearance to ev'
cry observer, no matter where he is sta
TONED, whether in Boston or San Fran.
