kind within a period of more than
quarter of a century, is to be regarded
as of great Importance. Happily, the
time has come Wien celestial phenomena
have ceased to be tie exclusive possess

while the recondite problems of aStron-

There h: ceased to be any mystery
connected with the phenomena of
eclipses, whether solar or lunar. The
moon makes the complete circuit of the
heavens once in about twenty-nne and
one half days; the sun appears To do
the same, owing to the actual circuit
made by the earth, once in year The
moon, therefore, makes more than
twelve circuits Willie the sun is making
one Consequently, the moon must over
take and pas the sun as many as twelve
times in year. Sun and moon both APP

II they moved IN exactly the same path
the moon would pass in between the sun
andN earth ct every circuit, and there
would be an eclipse of the sun at every
new moon. But the paths are not ex-
actly the game: so the moon usually
goes by either abo-e or below the sun.
There are points, however where these
two paths intersect; and If sun and moon
both ..appen at cne of those points Mt the
same time, then an eclipse is inevitable.

But while the eclipse can he seen over
the whole country. it is only within a
path of about hfty-five miles width that
II appears as a total eclipse: this runs
from New Orleans in a northeasterly di-
rection across the southeastern states. and
passes out to sea at Norfolk. In the old
wcrld il touches at Portugal, passes down
into Spain and Algiers. and ends at the
Red sea. Outside Of that path the sun
is only partially obscured. yet throughout
a large part of this country the suns
face will be nearly covered.
