HONORS FOR DEVERY,
Great Reception For Ninth District
Lender ut Saratoga.

SARATOGA, N. Y. Sept. 30
Through streets lined with people and
amid shouts ~Of You're all right,
Chief" William S. Devery led his cele-
cation from the Ninth assembly dis
trlct of New York city, and the recep.
tiOn which he received was cnthusias-
tic. His special train of seven cars, It
had been announced, would arrive at
A:l5, and long before that hour the vi
cinily of the depot was crowded with
people, all anxious to see the man who
had wrcsted control Of his district from
John c. Sheehan and Frank J. Good
win. The incoming trains bearing the
Tammhny delegation were met by the
reception committee of the Saratoga
Jeffcrsoninn club, and the delegates
were escorted to their headquarters at
the Grand Union hotel.
There was a rush to the first car,
where the stalwart form Of the ex-
chief of the New York police could be
discerned waving back those of his as.
sociatcs who desired to get off before
the train came to standstill. The
wheels had hardly stopped revolving
before Devery alighted, and he was
promptly surrounded by an eager
crowd of men, women and children
who pressed forward In an effort to
grasp Mr.. Devery by the hand. Those
who could not reach either of his hands
cOntentcd themselves with slapping
him ON the shoulders and assuring him
that he was all right"
II took fully ten minutes Of pushing
and hauling before the crowd was
driven back far enough to permit the
occupants Of the train to fall in line.
The parade was formed, with the JEFF
fersonian club of Saratoga and its
band OH the right of the line. Then
came a New York city military band.
Behind II on the shoulders of four six
footers was borne the floral pump
which had been presented to Devery
by his friends in the district Next
came the former chief, nanked by Pc.

As the procession moved up Lake av-

probably the most picturesque seen at

cent years. In front Of nearly every
house was pile Of burning Greek fire,
and the cheering which marked Dev.

The circuit Of the heavens has now
been made. Of course, only the
most brilliant punctuation points of
the various sections have been given
but these can readily b. located by
any careful observer. Let them be
firmly fixed in the mind. and they
will be learned for II lifetime. and
will always be found returning to
the same place at the same time Of
year. The picture Of the starry
heavens changes from night to
night, for the stars rise four minutes
earlier every night, being carried
westward by the motion of the
earth in its orbit. Stars that rise at
& O'Clock on the 1st Of the month
will rise at I O'Clock when the month
closes. For this reason the picture
of the heavens on the 18th of the
month, for example, is repeated on
the 23d an hour and II quarter
earlier.
Auroral displays may be looked
for on October nights. The northern
sky was abiaze on some Of the nights
Of this month with rings and arches
and Strnamrrs of brilliant coloring.
We may look for greater exhibi-
tions in October. The mysteri Gus
and incOmprchcnsible ties that bind
us to the sun are well illustrated by
the gIories Of the northern lights.
On the LIT Of the month we have
the sun coming above the horizon
at $40 O'Clock and setting at 5.27
o'clock, while on the last day it does
not rise until G.1j and sets at 4.4O,

Another thing. the sun does tn is
month is to,barome partially erlips-
ell, but the phenomenon is not visible
in these latitu;le,, being confined to
Northwestern Europe and Northern
and Eastern Asia, leaving out the
Philippines as well as the United
States.
For a good deal Of or knowledge
about the sun we are indebted to the
moon, which sometimes happens to
come between us and the sun, and
So produces IN eclipse. At first ono
might think that an eclipse would
prevent us from seeing anything OF
the sun, bat it really reveals to Us
beauties Of which we should other
wise be ignorant. In the full light
Of day the dazzling splendor of the
sun ObliteratnS and Renders invisible
objects that shine with light that is
comparatively feeble. When the
moon kindly steps in and stops all
Of the stronger beams, these joint
objects spring into visibility aud
we have the exquisite spectacle
Of IA total eclipse.
While we fail to obtain admission
to the above mentioned show, we
shall have something Of our own to
exhibit on October lG. This perform
ance shows us the moon in state
OF total eclipse, and will be Well
worth our witnessing. From the
time the moon enters the penumbra
until it emerges thcretrUm there
will be an interval of 5 hours and 80
minutes. Unfortunately, the tim
Of tota!ity occurs about o'clock on
the morning Of October II, when
most of us will be enjoying a pri-
vate eclipse OF our own, but those
who care to be awake at that time
will have the only treat Of its kind
for the year. and will be we'll repaid
for their vigil. Lunar erlipses are
due to the interpOsitiOn Of the earth
between the sun and the moon. The
sun is at night time under our feet,
at the other side Of the earth, and
throws Il high shadow upward. II
the moon enters into this shadow,
it is plain that the sunlight is partly
or wholly cut off, and since the
moon shines by no light of her own,
but only by borrowed light from the
sun, it follows that when the moon
is buried in the shallow all the di.
rect light is intercepted, and she
must lose her brilliancy.
On October 8, Mercury. which is
now an evening star, is in conjunc.
tion with the moon, which phenom-
enon repeats itself on October 90
The latter meeting IS by far the
closer of the two, but we shall not
have a very striking picture, as the
planet is too near the sun to be
plain ly visible to the unaided vision
On October 10. Mercury is in infe.
rior conjunction with the sun and
leaves the realm Of the evening
