ton OF light when the moon traverses
the earth's penumbra, as to be scarcely
noticeable but when she enters the
black umbra, her light fades to such
a degree as to obscure, and possibly to
totally hide the disc
Usually, however, even when in the
deepest part Of the shadow, the lunar
disc may be seen dimly shining with
a strange and seemingly unnatural
coppery light. (See diagram No, 81 This
faint illumination Is due to a few scat
tering rays Of sunlight, which are re-
fracted by the earth's atmosphere into
the umbral cone. and its amount varies
according to the quantity Of clouds and
retroactive vapors In that part Of the at
mosphere which Is concerned In the
process OF refraction. The reddish color
is explained by the property possessed
by the atmosphere vapors OF absorb
ing the other color ingredients of
white light. allowing only the red TO
pass The rudy hues of sunrise and
sunset are the result OF the same cause.
As the moon enters the shadow, the
first visible effect Is the appearance Of
a notch on the edge of the disc, which

the proofs of the spheroidal shape Of

The position Of the moon on the OPP

occurrence OF a lunar elipse Is the po-

Atlantic City's prospects also were very
slim. Gen. Shaffer made the speech

ABOUT SUN ECLIPSES.
An eclipse Of the sun occurs when the
moon passes between the sun and the
earth In such a way as TO cast her
shadow on the earth's surface. This is
shown in diagram No. l.
Such a relative position Is possible
only at the time Of new moon. This
fact conclusiyely disproves the theory

occur at every full moon phase, since
at such times the moon is always on

eclipse Of the moon would occur every
lunar month If the moon and the earth

two bodies are different The plane OF

suns rays battle one side Of our planet
In light while leaving the opposite hem-
lsphere In darkness, is OF concal form,
tapering to q point, and extending to a
distance about four times the moons
distance from the earth The shape
Of the shadow Is determined by the
fact that the sun Is Of vastly greater
size than the earth But beside this
shadow cone Of deepest darkness, from
which all Of the solar rays are exclud-
ed, there are regions Of partial shadow,
from which only part of the suns light
Is cut off. The complete shadow Is
called the umbra, ana the partially
darkened space the penumbra.

Tor this year there has been no time
TO pref are the usual elaborate fina I
exercises in which the childrea de-
light and which are undoubtedly
beneficial in giving them confidence

There is no graduating class and

1t is the general belief that the

No election OF teachers has vet been
