MORE ABOUT THE ECLIPSE.

What causes eclipses Of the sun and
how often do they oocur? Well. briefly
the moon in its motion round the
earth gets between us and the sun and
covers 1t up. wholly or in part Par
tial eolipses are very frequent. We
have in fact, aud must have, at least
two every year but total solar eolipses
are rare. There were seventy during
the century just ending. But they are
always very limited in extent. and so
IL turns out that at any given place a
total solar eclipse is an extremely rare
event Only seven Of tho seventy men
toned above were visible as total eclip-
ses in the United States, and only one
that Of August z. lS69-touched Vir-
ginia. There will DO no other one Wis.
ible In the United States before 1918,
and that will not be visible in Viz.
Rinia.
