took place. for Boston got a glimpse Of
it. and so did Chicago and St. Louis, but
Washington did not get a peep.
The most interesting thing about the
eclipse, however, is that the youngest
child living today will not live to see
another partial observation of the
moons light, excepting the partial
eclipse which will take place on the
night Of October next, and which will
be invisible in America. After that, the
astronomers say. the eclipses Will be in
totality and Will so continue for cen
turtles. at intervals, which will be cal
cuIated and duly recorded by the pre-
fessors in the observatories.
The ancient Assyrians are accredited
with having discovered that the par
tial' eclipse of the moon extended over
a period of 500 years. and then became
total" and so continued for from seven
to eight centuries. The calculation of
the time and duration OF ecIipses is one
of the easiest tasks of the student of the
movements OF the heavenly bodies, and
the time that the planet enters the shad-
ow of the other planet Is figured out as
accurately as the rising and the setting
OF the sun and the movements of the
tides.
After next October the babe who sees
the partial eclipse of the moon then viii

Much interest was manifested this
morning al the District Health Office
over a dispatch from Scipio, I'D. in
which II was stated that young woman
Of that Jown had contracted smallpox
and died. the oontagion having Iain dor
mant in an old trunk of clothing for
thirty nine years.
It appears that Minnie Peterson, OF
Scipio, had occasion to overhaul this old
trunk. containing the clothing worn by
hcr father. who died OF smallpox in
1868. Within two weeks MISS Peterson
contracted the smallpox and died from
the attack
Speaking of the matter, DR.. William
{ Woodward. the Health Officer, said
he had no doubt the germ Of smallpox
could remain dormant in clothing for an
indefinite period under proper eondi-
lions. He said the germ of this disease
was much like the seed of a plant in
that respect If the seeds of rice and
wheat could lie in the tombs Of Egypt
for thousands OF years and then germi-
nate, he saw no reason why. under suit
able circumstances, the spore of small
pox might not remain potent for the
time named
Dr. Woodward referred to the writings
of DIT. Alfred Il. Buck to sustain his
position. This authority says numerous
cases have been reported showing that
the poison Of smallpox retains its COM

German He has always stood by the
party. and is as thoroughgoing and
atanch a Democrat as can be found. He
has ability and would make a good
President.
However, my personal preference
would be controlled by the question Of
availability II the developments OF the
next year and a half should bring for

whose chances for success appeared
stronger than those Of Senator German.
