ATLANTA, May 29.-In every section
of the southeastern states yesterday
over which the belt of totaity of the
suns eclipse extended the weather was
ideal for the observation of this remark
able phenomenon. In the southern por-
ton OF Alabama there was some hazi-
ness, but other than this the astron-
omers and scientists who located their
observatories in North and South Caro-
lima, Georgia, Alabama and Louisiana
report that the weather could not have
been more auspicious for the study of
the suns eclipse and to secure splendid
photographs of the details attending the
passage of the great orbs.
From the many stations of observa-
ton established by universities, scien-
tific and private parties the reports in
dicate that the taking of scientific data
was entirely successful, and no Incl
dents occurred to mar in the smallest
degree the full benefit that
was expected to be derived from the
event by the scientists, many of whom
male long journeys to view the eclipse
for S5 seconds. The two most notable
features of the day were the discovery
by Professor Lord of Ohio state uni
versity, who believes he obtained re-
suits that tend to prove that the mys-
terious matter which forms the corona
is to be found alsc in the solar promi-
nence and existence of protuberanceso on
the sun as reported by Professor Picker
ing of Harvard What constitutes the
gaseous element surrounding the sun,
however, has not been determined.
In some southern cities during total
ity stars We're seen almost due overhead.
Almost Exactly on Time.
The force of the word "totality" as
applied to the temporary extinction OF
the suns rays was fully appreciated.
The eclipse came with startling pre-.
cision, in spite of a miscalculation OF
seven seconds, and while the period OF
totality lasted nature appeared to stand
still in awe, if not in fear, of the mani
festation. 1t was noted by many thai
the birds in the trees, chirping merrily
only a moment before, ceased ,theil
singing. The intense stiffness was
broken at once by breeze that seemed
to spring up from nowhere and which
none of the local weather prophets coul6
explain. The time of darkness in which
everything was obscured to such de.
gree that man would fail to distin
guish his friend across the street seemed
long to the ordinary observer, but to the
man of science unreasonably short.
The first notice that the phase of to
tality was "ver came with startling
ray Of light that produced a change as
sudden as did the black wave sweeping
from the southwest at the moment wheI
the phase began.
From all points in this section comes
the news of a perfect day for the eclipse
with nothing to obscure the phenom
enon.

IN A WAGON.
How a Circus Man Slept During
Seasons Travelling.

seasons lraVeling.
81 slept in a wagon all summer"
said Dolph Gessley, the well-known
ticket seller of the Robinson Circus,
which has made its seventy-fifth an
nual season of travel. "Yes, sir, in a
wagon. The rest of the show people
slept in regular sleeping cars. Now
you would think they had the best of
1t, wouldn't you? But they didn't.
My bed was made up in the wagon
in which / sold tickets. Along the
sides Of it are benches. l had cot
bed from which the legs were re-
moved. The benches had lids, and
inside were boxes where the tickets
and other stuff necessary were kept.
In one compartment | had the bed
ding, in another towels and other
toilet ESSENTIALS. After the count up at
night l pulled down the cot top got
out my sheets and blankets and made
up my bed. Then l turned in, after
folding up my clothes. The ticket
wagon Is a finely constructed affair,
with platform springs, and rides likes
q fashionable carriage. The razor
backs" or common laborers wit the
show, would, when the time came to
entrain, run the wagon onto a fiat
car and chock the wheels securely
The car has super-springs, and rides
like a passenger coach. The cot top
was laid across the aisle, of which
the benches formed the sides, so there
were three places to take up the mo-
tion-the car springs, the wagon
springs and the elastic cot webbing.
/ was as snuga as a bug in rug. BY
leaving the windows in the rear open
I got fine breeze and in the hottest
nights was cool and comfortable.
Many morning woke up to find the
wagon on the circus lots miles from
the depot. | slept so soundly that
never felt the wagon being detrained
or driven uptown. Then my wagon
men would bring up water and my
| toilet was a matter of only moment
or two. Bathing? Why man with a
circus can bath every day in the
dressing tent. The folks in the sleep
| ing car had many discomforts. Any
body that has travelled in a crowded
Pullman car appreciates this fact. All
want to go to bed at the same time
and get up together The aisles are
crowded with clothing and impedi-
ments, and then there is the snoring
and talking that is inevitable. Oh,
tell you, | was comfortable. Some Of
the razor-backs had novel way of
bunking for the night. They slept in
hammocks, which were slung under
the wagons from axle to axle. never
tried it, but those who did tell me
that 1t Is exceedingly comfortable.
Lots Of fresh air, you know. Curious
ly enough, they didn't get wet, and
the cinders don't fly under the wag.
ons On dusty nights they get little
of loose Mother Eearth. but not so
much as you would think. Nothing
could induce me to change my Cess
ley palace sleeping car, as I called my
wagon bed, for one Of Pullman's make
have privacy, room and comfort, and
no sleeping car can boast of this
triple advantage. Exchange.

What Can it Be?
Who VIII Come With the Explanation.
Ye Who are Well Learned,
Please Tell.

Please Tell.
The undersigned has often with
in the last thirty years seen at var
ious times series Of strange and
various figured electric lights or
something of that nature, but have
not found anyone who seems able
to explain the thing or tell the
cause of them. They seem most
numerous in the months of Nov,
Dec, Jan, Mar, Apr, and May and
most frequent in the dark of the
moon. However l have seen them
on ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS; these lights
do not occur in low or marshy
lands, but much to the contrary as
they are seen on a high ridge or
slightly table land, and seem to
finally settle for sometime on
particular spot where nearly sixty
years ago stood an old tobacco
house in which lived two old ladies
who were very abruptly driven
from their home. and their house
thrown down; at least quite near
this place those strange visitors
often harbor and cut many curious
capers and have many peculiar
forms.
My first observation of these
strange visitors who came from
the east bearing slightly S. w.
would appear in sight when two or
more miles away and arrive with.
in three or four minutes, crossing
a deep valley en- route but still di-
rect line and would appear as two
and sometimes three persons carry
ing lanterns two of which would
seem about four feet apart and at
reaching the ridge some two feet
high from the ground while the
third light comes about twenty feet
north of the first two, and as many
feet behind them until they reach
ed their point of curious move
ments, being on the Levi Morgan
track of land, in the S. w. quarter
of the N. w. quarter of Section
twenty, Township thirteen, and
Range seventeen all In Hooking
Co., aud two miles w. of Islesboro
Ohio.
Some of the forms they show are
often very hard to describe yet
they sometimes seem a picket line
in perfect order the two being near
each other and from these to the
third there would appear a great
sheet of light Illuminating the
earth very distinctly while at other
times they would form sort OF
triangle much in the shape of the
flyers of an old fashioned spinning
wheel and would move around in
rapid rotations often seeming tC
, fiutter as u humming- bird over 6
rose at least when they reach the
particular spot before mentioned
These are only few of the many
} strange forms and strange move
ments Of these mysterious sights
which have been witnessed by
others besides the party who makes
oath and subscribes his name here
to.

Preserve The Ruins,

Judging by the utterances of the press
a decided public opinion against van
dalism in the region of the cliff jewellers
has been aroused. The sentiment that
those priceless prehistoric remains be-
long to New Mexico and should remain
in New Mexico is gaining ground. The
commercialism which destroys ruins that
can never be restored In the worlds his
tory, in order to get a few pieces of
pottery to be sold at a good price, will be
driven out of the territory. Sooner or
later Santa Fe will be the place of q
museum whose priceless treasures in
historic and prehistoric remains will
give New Mexico fame beyond the bonn-
dates Of the nation, and will draw to
Santa Fe scientists and students from
all parts of the world. A state academy
of sciences will spring up around that
museum, and summer schools Of science
will be held here frequently. New Mex
leo must assist the federal government
in preserving the ruins that make the
territory the richest field in the world
for psychologists.
