THE SUMS ECLIPSE.
The Interesting Phenomena Wit
messed by Many Persons.

Monday morning, from 6 80 clock
until neatly 8, numerous elsons
could be seen with their faces turned
heavenward and their eyes shielded
With bits of smoked glass, watching
the interesting spectacle of the sun
in eclipse.
The performance began about 6 80,
a small shadow first appearing in the
upper right hand part of the bril-
liant luminary, which gradually in
creased until only small slice on
the edge of the orc was left to view,
more than nint -teEths of it's face be-
ing hid. The nearest degree to to-
tally was reached about Z 40, and a
few minutes before 8 O'clock the
eclipse entirely disappeared.
The weather at this point was quite
favorable to viewing the eclipse, al
though at per DDS small, fleecy
Clouds somew hat iuterfered with a
clear vision.
The eclipse as beheld through a
smoked glass resembl. d the moon
in Its various quarters. As the
shadow spread across the great oro,
u hazy dImness enveloped the earth,
causing a queer sensation.
