Always an Object of Deep Interest to
Astronomers.
The earliest records of solar eclipses
are ascribed to Confucius. One of the
eclipses Of antiquity was famous for
two events. One was that it was fore
told by an astrologer, the year being
685 B. c., and the second was that its
alarming appearance stopped a bat
tie between the Lydians and Modes.
Formerly ecllpses of the sun created
terror among the beholders, and even
today educated and intelligent people
express dread of the solemn and i'm
pressive darkness. One who has wit
messed a total eclipse gives this
graphic description: LAS much as
five minutes before the total obscurity
it may be possible to detect strange
waving lines of light and shade draw
ing across the landscape. Then, with
frightful velocity, the shadow of the
moon is seen approaching, a tangible
darkness advancing like a wall, swift
as imagination, silent as doom The
immensely OF nature never comes so
near as then, and strong must be the
nerves not to CULVER as the blue black
shadow rushes upon the spectator
with incredible speed. A vast palpi-
tating presence seems overwhelming
