The processes vary with diherent sys-

ice is forming. the ammonia is kept In
cooling pipes or chambers, and the gas

Two Of Sun and One Of Moon,
This Year.
The Average Bredth Of the Solar
Eclipse rIonday VIII be
Nearly 90 Miles.

In this, the last year Of the nine
teenth century, there will be three
eclipses, two of the sun and one OF
the moon.
Eleven years have passed since
the last total eclipse Of ( sun in
this country; IS years tp,re are to
pass before the next; consequently
the total eclipse of the sun, visible
in the United State, next Monday,
being the only event Of its kind
within period of more than "a
quarter of century, is to be re-
garded as of great Importance.
It is a remarkable thing that the
distance Of sun and moon are so
proportioned to their size that us
ually the moon fits quite exactly
over the face of the sun. Hence, in
stead of a transit or an occultation
we have an elipse; it never can last
but a few minutes, and on the
above date a minute and half is
the limit Of totally, for the moon
hastens on and the sun shines out
once more. However for a long
lime it can be seen approaching
and receding; thus the duration Of
tho entire eclipse will be about two
hours and a half.
On the 18th inst, the solar eclipse
will be visible throughout the
United States, and be total from
the Soulful Eastern part of Virginia
down through Mexico, while north
of Norfolk, Va, it will be only par
tial. While the eclipse can be seen
over the whole country, it is only
within a path of about SIS miles
width that it will appear as a total
eclipse, this. runs from New Or
leans in a nOrtheasterly direction
across the Southeastern States, and
passes out tOs sea at Norfolk.
In IIopkinsville it will begin a
few minutes before o'clock in the
morning and will end about 9
o'clock.
A second eclipse of the sun will
occur on the 21st of November. 1t
will be annular, but not visible in
this country. A partial eclipse of
the moon will take place on the 18th
of June, though it will not be visible
in this country.
