green, holly and cedar, made his pretty
boat a Christmas palace fit for Santa
Claus cruising. He also served a

WANT MORE MONEY.
NEW PUBLIC SCHOOLS COST MORE
THAN EXPECTED.

The three new school buildings erect
ed this year, with the land purchased
for and contiguous to the sites. cost
about S105.oo0. President whitehead
OF the Beard of Education, says they
would cost probably twenty-five per
cent more now, because Of advanced
prices in building material. etc.
The Councils will be asked for about
$4,000 TO meet the deficiency in the ap-
preparations for the schools This ad-
ditional amount. Mr.. Whitehead says
was necessary to complete the build
ings and their furnishing. 1t is not
known yet whether the cut-down school
fund will be suff1c ent to meet the run
ming expenses Of the schools or not.

Portugal to Buy Our Coal.

Portugal has become a purchaser of
American soft coal. following in the
steps of other European countries. The
English and Welsh coal mines are 1000
miles nearer the Portuguese than the
united States mines, and the fact that
mat country Will purchase coal from
America Is another straw, and n very
big one, showing how the wind blows.
1t is probable that in the future much
coal Will be shipped to Portugal from
this point.

TWO OF THE sUN-oNE OF THE
MOON

In the coming year there will be three
eclipses-two of the sun and one of the
moon. A total eclipse of the former is
booked for Norfolk for May IS. and will
no doubt arrive on schedule time, as
promised phenomena Of. this character
are usually prompt. The following in
formation. furnished by the astrono-
mers. will be interesting:
At NORFOLK, VA.
Beginning of the eclipse, May 2S Ill.,,
Bonn, ass Beginning of the total
eclipse, Sh.. dTm.. 2l.5s. End OF the total
eclipse, sh., ISM, 4S1s. End OF the
eclipse, 10h.. 9m., 54.4s. Duration OF the
eclipse at Norfolk, 2h., 34m.. 6.4s. Dura-
ton of total esclpse. Inn, 26.Gs.
At Raleigh the eclipse will begin a
few minutes earlier than at Norfolk,
and will be total. At Richmond it will
begin and end about the same time as
at this city, and will be nearly, but
not quite, total.
This will be the first total eclipse that
has been visible at Norfolk for thirty
years. and no other will be visible here
for twenty-five years.
OBSERVERS COMING.
The government will send n corps of
observers here to witness the eclipse
May rs, and another will be sent to
Raleigh. Just where the observations
will be made has not been definitely
settled, but 1t is supposed Virginia
Beach will be selected as the station.
