freak of nature. Professor Willis l.. Moore
of the United States weather bureau, and

Scientific Society, were also stationed at
the local observatory
Prof Gray had sent out word that the
first contact would occur at TAI o'clock
this morning. Norfolk. always busy and
bustling despite its southern character, has
never been go thoroughly aroused at such
an earlylhour in the morning since the days
of the civil war. Promptly at T:4O:59 one
second in advance of the schedule, a tiny
notch of blackness was denoted upon the
northeast or upper right-hand portion
of the suns disk.
The eclipse was on and a feeling of sub
dued excitement took hold of the popula-
ton. Work was suspended. In the air
there was a prattle of tongues instead of
the accustomed rattle of vehicles. The
trolley cars hummed merrily up the
streets. Luckily there were few people on
the street. for the motormen were paying
more heed to the sun than the track ahead
Wise merchants lighted the gas in their es-
tablishments while the Yiddish dealers in
cast-off apparel on Church street carefully
took down their aluring display Of clothing
from the sidewalk racks and slowed it
away upon the shelves inside.
Not until more than half the suns sur
face had been consumed by the ring of
darkness created by the moons interfer-
ence with the worlds light, was there
rerceptible change in the brilliance of the
summer morning. Then the first of the
series Of shadows brought on by solar
eclipse was noted. The varied shades of
increasing darkness were most marked
from that to the moment of complete OBJ
scurement. AS the descending layers of de-
creasing light came on the watching thou
sands kept their eyes glued upon the fast
disappearing sun, and gradually the hum of
conversation ceased.

were either awed into a wonderfully express
sive silence or else were thrown into state
of astronomical ecstasy bordering upon
joyful Mysteries.
Appearance of the Corona.
The corona appeared rather oblong In
general shape. extending from northeast to
southwest. Spreading away to the first
named compass point and reaching far be-
yond the brilliant general glow were two
tongues OF the purest. softest and whitest
light the eye could conjure. On the oppo-
site side of the moon fiared a single tongue
of light, heavier in body than the twin
shafts reaching upward.
My God, how wonderful
The expression was fOrcible, but could
not be restrained from a half hundred
throats among those at the government
station.
Gazing through a pair Of powerful glasses
Prof. Rice of the naval observatory sud-
denly observed several prominences pro.
jecting from the moon. They were red-of
burning hydrogen. The learned professor
could not restrain himself. Upon the snenI
throng Of observers there came a shout OF
unmistakable joy. Prof. Rice said after
ward there was no possible human force 10
restrain his utterance. All were thus I'M
pressed in common with him.
With the closing in of the moon there
came from out the darkened heavens the
planet Mercury. The star was very near
the sun and shone brilliantly out upon the
quarter of the heavens beautiful Venus
burst upon the view. These were the only
planets visible to the naked eye. but thous-
ands Of others dotting the sky were brought
into view with the aid of glasses of COM
paratively low power.
The period of totality began at S:52:33 and
continued until 1853 so, the one minute and
twenty-six seconds seeming to fit by with
uncommon rapidity.
From the same bit Of edge from whence
the moon was first visible upon the sun
there flashed a penetrating ray of sun
shine. The multitude, thoroughly impress
ed with the Inconvenience of the loss of the
orb gave forth an echoing shout. The
eclipse was practically at an end. The
deep shadows of a moment ago were dis
PEELED in a twinkling, and. satisfied with a
light that a moment before totality seemed
sparse indeed, the watchers dispersed and
business was resumed. A feature OF the
phenomenon was the demonstration of the
magnitude of the light furnished by the
sun. A tiny bit of its unobscured surface
spread a comparatively brilliant and daz-
zling brightness, which was all the more
marked on account of its coming so sud-
denly after brief duration of darkness.
The retreating moon showed Jagged
outline. 1t gradually disappeared In
southwesterly direction, and at 1O:15:O5
o'clock all was over.

Eject on the Temperature.

During the approach of the eclipse the
normal rise in the morning temperature
was stayed. When the blackness of total
fty came the watchers experienced a de-
cidedly chilly sensation. This must have
been produced nervously or electrically, for
a consultation of the recording instruments $
showed a drop of but degree and half
in the half hour beginning fifteen minutes
before and closing like period after the
phase of total1ty.
The amateurs interested in the shadow
bands were Sorely disappointed, Tor none
were observed here. These bands are not
certainty, by any means, and some scien-
lists assert that no such things exist. Much
valuable information on the subject was as ex-
pected from the eclipse of today. There
were many converts, in consequence OF their
absence, to the theory that supposed shadow
bands are nothing more nor less than
phantom to overstrained eyes.
From the exalted view on the weather
bureau station the city and harbor of Nor
folk presented many weird sights. Bril-
liant lights shone from the windows of ho-
tells. Office buildings and factories. 1t
seemed as though night had suddenly drop
ped in to find all industry progressing at
full speed.
In the harbor anchor lights cleaned from
stationary craft, while the ever-busy ferries
and tugboats displaying prominently their
green and red sailing side lights. The whis-
ties of vessels in the harbor sounded con-
tinuously, as in times of fog.
AT enterprising firm on Market space had
an electric sign going at full blast during
the total period. 1t extolled beverage Of
rye origin.
A horse, sadly neighing, could be heard
from the government station.
A solar eclipse might truthfully be dis
missed with the statement that in viewing 1t
one can hardly analyze ones feelings. They
are varied and fairly overpowering. long
sigh and half-murmured "Well!" con-
clude ones observance.
The Geographic Society reached Washing
ton Tuesday morning. Its members were
delighted with their trip. the magnficence
of the weather and the glory of the eclipse.
Many ladies were in the party.
About one hundred Washington scientists,
some connected with the government insti-
tutions and others unattached, came down
Saturday. Late in the evening their tele-
scopes were trained upon disastrous con-
fagration raging the Virginia shore,
some distance below Mount Vernon.
1t Will be week or ten days before the
observers of the various government insti-
tutions all reach the capital city. R. S.

The Advantage the Present Has
Over the Past.

Probably we can all realize the
advance in civilization and the
advantages we OF today have over
those who preceded US.
For instance, in the last war with
Spain, where we used all improved
implements and methods, our
country made a lasting mark in
it's history. And again see the
advantage the farmer of today has
over the one several years ago.
He has improved machinery and
one man can do the work that it
took five to do thirty years ago.
We should have our buildings
correspond with the times, neat
and attractive, and in order to keep
them in attractive shape, you must
use paint and you ought to get it
at the cheapest place; especially
by 80 doing you will be patronlzing
a Southern enterprise. Write to

The Eminent Kidney "
and Bladder Specialist.

There is a disease prevailing In this
country most dangerous because so decep-
tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by
it-heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure
or apoplexy are often the result OF kidney
disease. If kidney trouble is allowed to ad-
vance the kidney poisoned blood will attack
the vital organs, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Then the richness of the blood-the albumen
leaks out and the sufferer has Brights
Disease, the worst form Of kidney trouble.
