1'ota, Eclipse of the Sun In Mau.

Total Eclipse Of the Sun in May.
There will be three eclipses
this year, one Of the moon, a par
tial, on June 18th, visible through
out this country, and two of the
sun, one total. on May 2Sth, the
other an annular eclipse, on Nov.
22d, the latter not visible on this
side of the earth.
Astronomers have calculated
that the path of totality of the
eclipse of the sun on the 2Sth of
May will pass through Winnsboro
and Lancaster. The width of the
path will be SIS miles, and to all
points within that path the sun
will be totally obscured by the
shadow of the moon for about a
minute and a quarter. During
that time the brighter stars may
be seen and the chickens NAV
hurry off to roost, though the sun
will be scarcely an hour above
the eastern horizon.
