HOW THE ECLIPSE LOOKED.
The Moonlight "A Pushing Feature Of
the Phenomenon

II was fortunate enough to see the
eclipse In New Orleans" said Harrison
Fletcher of Buffalo ut the Fifth Ave-
nue. hotel the other day, "and 1t was a
most wonderful sight. | was on board
a train from the north and from the
rear platform had most excellent po-
sition from which to view 1t. l had
heard Of the coolness of atmosphere
that attends an eclipse, and, as / had
a stop watch, | timed Il to see how
soon it came on. The air took on a
cold tinge just ten seconds after the
eclipse started, and this coo.ness last
ed IS seconds after 1t was over. Ac-
cording to my watch, the eclipse itself
lasted 55 seconds.
"When 1t was at what ! believe is
termed its totality, the jet blackness OF
the covering moon was trimmed by q
dull yellow band OF light. This light
had seemingly no light giving proper
ties, II may so express 1t. but looked
like the color of the gold IN our $40
pieces. Total darkness did not occur.
Indeed it was very far from that. 1t
was seemingly the most beautiful and
brilliant Of moonlight nights, in which
you could clearly see across the street
and easily distinguish people and OBJ
jects at that distance. 1t seemingly In
creased the size Of objects to your eye.
A setter dog saw running along look
ed as large as mastiff.
zone beautiful thing In connection
with 1t was the shadows cast. There
were the shadows clearly picked out,
as on an ordinary moonlight night; but.
where OH an ordinary night the black
and white contrasts are so strongly
marked, In the false moonlight of the
eclipse the edges were diffused, and IL
seemed as though certain mist clung
about the shadows. 1t showed In ev-
erything, but particularly in the trees,
and its effect on one Of the old French
churches that we passed was really
wonderful.
This moonlight has puzzled me not
a little, and ever since l have been
wondering what caused It. Scientists
tell us that moonlight is simply the
moon rejecting the suns rays from
its surface. but In this case the moon
lay directly between the sun and the
earth, and In spite Of the moon being
Opaque it seemed TO me that the rays
of the sun must In some manner have
reached US directly through the moon.
That doesn't sound reasonable, | ac-
knowledge. but II seems to me as like
ly as that yarn Of the man in the bot
tom Of an abnormally deep canyon at
MONDAY who. on looking from out its
somber depths. saw the stars twinkling
above him. But. anyway, 1t was by all
odds the most wonderful thing have
ever seen and was we'll worth the trip.
Another thing that was surprised at
was that | could see 1t as well and
even better with the naked eye than I
could with a smoked glass. New
York Tribune.

Fortune In the Ground Near q Tows
of Maine.

OF Maine.
In the early part Of this ccutury
there lived a professional gambler
named Patch, who after wandering all
over the face of the earth finally set
tied here on what is now known as the
Patch homestead.
With large accumulation Of ready
money Patch became a money lender,
and one could secure any amount by
giving him good security. He buried
large sum Of money-S100,000, II is said
in his ground near the roadside.
Patch died suddenly. In his will he
left to his son George ell treasures hid
den in the ground. II was stated in the
will that should any one else save the
legal heirs try to get the fortune he
(Patch) would appear In the form Of
some animal and drive him away.
George never found his fathers money
and at his death willed everything to
his son Frank.
Frank Patch lives on the same old
farm that his grandfather bought, but
has never been able to find the treas
ure.
Solon RyersOn, with another man,
was chased away from the place by
strange animal only year ago. Mr..
Ryerson says: "Yes; we came near find
ing it. All was well until one OF the
most terrible looking animals imagina-
BILE appeared. We found a rock which
was cut out of Patch's ledge and fitted

body down. Then this creature APP

Taken ON Any Price Concessions.
NEW YORK, Nov. 2-Bradstreet's
financial review tomorrow Will say: AS
the national election draws near the
speculative stock market has become
more sensitive to the uncertainties which
it involves. The upward movement of
prices, which was the feature Of the
preceding fortnight and which was in
effect discounting of the expected re-
suit, has been checked by the general
disposition to take profits or to reduce
commitments in the market The hard
ening of money rates over the election
has also created conservatism on the
part of commission houses and the
tending in such quarters is to have GUS
toners restrict transactions for the mo-
ment. 1t is also noted that throughout
the street the disposition has been to
call for such larger margins and to
otherwise prepare for any emergency
arising from either the action of the
market prior to election day or after it
in the event of the general estimate of
the result proven to be mistaken. The
market thus seems to have placed itself
In position to await the outcome in
calm way and it is also noted that the
realizing by people who bought early in
the recent rise have not realized in anv
material declines. Large interests and
bdAl POOlS nave NOT maze themselves
prominent or given much open support
to the various prominent stocks. The
professionals, in fact, have shown an in
chnatlon to hold off, and the trading
element among them were nearly ready
TO act on the bear side. It is noticed
however, that at any concessions in
prices good stocks have been readily
absorbed by outside buyers. This was
especially the case with the high grade
dlvldind-payers, thocgh it extended to
other stocks as well, and represented 70
a considerable extent the outright pur
chase OF securities to take them entire
ly out of the market. The process was
sufficiently well marked to afford sun
port to prices at the decline and to
check the tendency Of the room to in
dulge IN short sales. 1t would also seem
TO result from the general feeling in
stock market circles that in the event of
satisfactory victory for the sound
money cause the market would be like
~ to broaden and advance. The foreign
markets were dull and heavy this week.
and London did little here, being a
seller on balance.

CONTINENTAL RATES GO UP.
Steamship Companies Have Raised
Passenger Rates Considerably.

passenger mates
As a general rule passenger tariffs on
the Atlantic lines are slightly lower In
the winter months than those in vogue
In summer. This year the lines COM
posing what is known as the Continent
al pool have raised rates to point
higher than ever before. The lines in
this pool are exclusively French, German
and Italian, and the ports of call are
ali situated in these countries.
The increase in rates is confined to
tlIird-class trade, but as most OF the
raise will be felt. From New York the
price of tickets has been raised. on an
average $3.50, and the revenue tax mere
tofore assumed by the companies will
be paid by the purchasers OF tickets.
Third-class passengers will therefore
have TO pay from 81 to 81 more than the
customary rates. The fall and winter
trade is generally made up of compare
lively poor foreigners returning TO tier
native lands; these invariably travel
travel third class, and to them the Dur
Den will be severe.
The lines composing the North Allan
tic pool have made no change in their
