Not all eclipses are total. At times
the moon passes to one side over the
face of the sun; there is then partial
eclipse. Again the apparent size of the
moon may be smaller than that of the
sun, so that when seen centrally over
the solar disk the dark disk of our
satellite Is surrounded by bright ring
of the suns surface; this is an annular
eclipse. Total and annular eclipses are
seen only over a comparatively narrow
belt of land and last at most for few
minutes, but partial eclipses are seen
over a much wider extent of the earths S
surface and last much longer. The
same eclipse which is total or annular
along but a narrow strip of the earth's
surface is seen as a partial eclipse over
a much wider area,
THE DIFFERENT ECLIPSES.
The distinction between the different
eclpses may be simply illustrated by
holding between the eye and a globe
lamp a piece of circular cardboard, say
of half the diameter of the globe. The
shadow of the card may be divided
into two parts; the umbra, the shadow
cone converging to a point within
which all light from the lamp is cut
Off the penumbra a shadow cone di
Verging outward surrounding the UNI
bra within it only a part of the globe
is visible. II the eye be placed within
the umbra the globe cannot be seen: ii
is totally eclipsed. Seen with the eye
placed in the axis of the umbra but
beyond its apex in the penumbra
bright ring is seen; this is an annular
eclipse.
We may, therefore, regard eclipses
thus: The moon always casts a shadow
in space consisting of the umbra,
converging cone from which the suns
light is excluded, and a penumbra,
diverging case within which but a part
OF the suns surface may be seen. If
only the penumbra of the moons
shadow falls on the earth there is
partial eclipse. The umbra may con-
verge to a point beyond the earth or
fall short of 1t. If the axis of the
umbra intersects the earth, but its
apex does not reach 1t, the eclipse Is
annular. If the umbra itself falls on
the earth the eclipse is total. 1t is
because the moons shadow Is so small
a diameter and moves so fast that n
total eclipse is seen over so narrow n
belt of land and for so short a time
As the dark body of the moon en-
croaches on the sun II cannot be seen
with the naked eye, until the exposed
surface of the sun is reduced to a very
thin crescent. Then suddenly this cres-
cent is broken up into a string OF
bright beads, named after the astrono-

distance from the sun for its radius
exceeds the area Of the sun itself.
This brings us to figures which stag
ger the imagination. 1t Is found, to
quote the language of Professor Young,
that this heat radiation at the sur
race of the sun amounts to over 100,-
600 horse power per square meter con-
tinuallv acting; that II the sun were
frozen over completely to a depth Of
90 feet, the heat emitted is sufficient
to melt this whole she'll in one minute
OF time; and that II an ice bridge
could be formed from the earth to the
sun by column of ice Ia miles
square at the base and extending
across the whole 93,OOO,000 of miles
and If by some means the whole Of the
solar radiation could he concentrated
upon this column, 1t would be melted
In one second of time, and between
seven and eight seconds more would
be dssipated in vapor."
TEMPERATURES OF THE SUNS
SURFACE.
What must be the temperature of
such n body This question can be
| answered, IL the law connecting the
quantity OF heat radiated by a body
and its temperature be known. Tie
answer, however, can only be given
for the surface of the sun, NOT for
its interior, and even then the assump-
ton must be made that the sun ra-
dates like an absolutely black body.
The values found according to the law
| of radiation assumed ranged all the
way from 1,500 degrees to 10000, o0)
degrees. The former is evidently too
low, the latter very much too high.
Professor Langley first made definite
| measurements to set a lower limit to
| the suns temperature. He compared
| the surface of the sun with the mol
| ten steel in q Bessemer converter, and
| found that the brilliant stream of
white hot liquid steel poured from a
| Bessemer converter appeared ike
| black coffee in comparison with the
| sun, and that the solar surface ra-
| dated 81 times as much heat and $500
| times as much light as an equal sur
| face Of the molten steel.
The burning glass furnishes another
means for setting lower limit to the
suns Temperature. 1t is known from
theory that the burning glass cannot

| itself. The effect is as though the sun
were brought nearer the earth. With
such a glass 40 inches in diameter
which made the image of the sun as
hot as its rays would be were IL
brought as near to the earth as the
moon, Ceraski succeeded in not only
melting, but reducing to vapor all
available terrestrial substances.
II, then, the earth should approach
the sun as close as the moon is to the
earth, it would not only be melted
but largely reduced to vapor Recent
experiments have shown that the ra-
diation increases as the fourth power
of the temperature. This law give:

BUSY WEEK IN THE SENATE.
Puerto RIcan Bill, Currency Measure and
QUAY Case to lie Debated.

Quay Case to Be Debated.
Washington, March 6.-The question
Of seating Senator Quay, the confer
ence report on the currency bill, and
the Puerto Rican government bill will
divide the attention of the senate dur
ing the present week. BY agreement
the report on the currency bill will be
voted upon at o'clock Tuesday, and
will have practically the undivided at
tention of the senate until that time,
if there are senators who desire 90
speak upon it.
After Tuesday the Quay resolution
will be the uppermost topic during the
morning hour each day and the Puerto
Rican bill for the remainder of the day.
There are still several speeches to DE
made on the Quay resolution, among
those who are to speak being Senators
Penrose, Spooner, Perkins and Carter,
favorable 10 Mr.. Quay, and Senator
Burrows in opposition.
The Puerto Rican bill will be debated
at length. Senators Culberson, Turner
and Pettigrew will me- . set arguments
against it on constitu; 0nal grounds,
and Senators Nelson and Depew will
talk in support of it.
The house will devote this week to
contested election cases. The debate
on the Aldrich-Robbins case. which
opened c1 Friday, will continue Tues
day and Wednesday. After 1t is dis
posed of the Wise-Young contest from
Virginia will be taken up, and probably
will consume the remainder of the
week In both cases the majority has
reported against the sitting members,
probably will sustain the reports, so
that by the end of the week the repub
lican majority in the house will have
been increased by two.

INTERPRETATIONS HERTRADE
Old Sarah Cohen'S Unique Business
Proves Profitable.


In little house just off Hester street
dwells an old woman who carries on a
most peculiar trade. She is Sarah
Cohen, or old SAL" as she is more
familiarly called, and east side resi-
dents know her well, and most of them
patronize her. On the window pane of
her little shop is a sign, which reads:
Buttons Sold Inside. Any Button
Matched from One Cent to a Nickel"
Her stock in trade is stored up in
thousands of buttons in little heaps
pearl, glass, bone, jet, shell, brass,
cloth, silk, horn, and every other va
riety Of button made. 1t is said the
old woman's business is profitable, and
that she has managed to save about
$4,000 out of her curious occupation.
You see," she said to me, lit often
is the case that a woman buys only
enough buttons for a dress, and then,
when she loses one, it is difficult to get

where on the rags sold are buttons.
All the rag dealers know l pay fair

until they have a sufficient quantity
and then they come to me. Another
way | obtain them is by visiting the
dressmakers, who often have buttons
left over, and their customers seldom
ask for them. These l can buy up very
cheap. Although my little board out

and has many valuable properties. It
is nutritive, and when used freely with
bread makes an excellent food for chill

advantageously in place of medicine by
persons OF sedentary lives. Being also

But truly" said Namarah, thou
art very noble, and life to thee is even
also dear"
Life would be dear to me no longer
maiden" he made answer, If l should
look upon thy face to tell thee that l
lived and Jephthah, thy father, was
slain."
This time, when he spake the words
"thy father" it seemed unto the maid
en- that his voice dwelt upon them by
the space of half second. The idea
glanced through her agitated mind
like lightning, but afterward she be-
thought herself of it. But now the
young man spake again, and reminded
her of his errand.
MY lord Jephthah hath sent thee
his blessing through me-" he said, "and
he prays thee to be of good cheer, and
to dread no danger for him"
81 cannot choose but dread" the
maiden answered, as she walked be-
side him to the house, and led the way
to where her fathers armor lay.
Nay, but surely" said the young
man, full humbly, thou Wilt be
little comforted because of the promise
I have given thee"
"Ay," said Namarah, it doth com"
fort me much, and | thank thee from
my very heart; but the thought Of bat
tie ever makes me tremble, although
| am a soldiers child. l pray thee,
give my loving greeting to my father,
and tell him ] 60 at once to pray the
God Of Israel for his safety"
Maiden, l also would be thought OF
in thy prayers" the young man said,
half doubtingly; and she answered:
"I will pray for thee also, soldier
Tell me thy name"
And he said
"My name is Adina."
Then once more he looked at her,
and again his strange look troubled
her; and as she stood and watched the
goodly figure in its shining armor
down the streets of Mizpeh, a wonder
got hold upon her that for the first
time at the thought of battle her fears
were not wholly for her father.
Long time she knelt and prayed, her
maidens waiting without; and all her
struggle was to recover the lost feeling
that her father was her all in all, but
another image rose up, over and over
again, and would not be forgotten. At
last she gave it up, and murmured,
half aloud:
"Bless him, even the young man
Adina, also, o my God; and bring them
back in safety together"
Before the close of day, the streets
Of Mizpeh rang to the gladdening
sound of the victorious return of troops
from battle. Namarah, high up in her
chamber, watched them with breath
less delight, as she saw the body OF
soldiers coming down the street, and
soon she was able to make out the
majestic figure Of her father, at their
head She was full sure of that, but
still, she bent from her window eager
ly, and strained her vision to see more.
Suddenly, her breath was drawn in
pantingly, and once more the rose was
on her cheek. Behind her father she
had recognized the tall figure of Adina,
and her eyes continually strayed from
one to the other, as the setting sun
FURNISHED the curls Of his golden hair
as the young man rode his splendid
horse adown the streets of Mizpeh.
