Earth's Shadow Hid
Fair Luna's Face
Eclipse Of the Noon Was Observed by Many
Last Night

The eclipse of the moon, which was
specially predicted in the Morning
news yesterday, came off exactly on
schedule time last night, and pro-
eeeded to finish without a hitch.
Just at sunset, when the moon was
expected to rise, eclipsed, low bank
u clouds obscured the eastern horizon,
80 that the moon was visible at Savan-
nah for half an hour after it had actu-
ally risen above the horizon; but when
did appear only a thin crescent of
the northern limb was left outside of
The dark shadow of the earth. Gradu-
ally this bright crescent increased un-
III promptly at the predicted time,
hr, 81 min. SO Sec, the entire disk
emerged from the shadow and the
bright full moon once more smiled
upon the world below.
Usually during a lunar eclipse that
portion of the moons surface envel-
oped in the earths shadow is still
family visible with a dull copper-col-
ored light. This effect is produced
by the light of the sun passing through
our atmosphere and being refracted,
and deprived of the blue rays, falling
upon the body of the moon in the shad-
ow of the earth and thus rendering it
taintly visible.
In the eclipse of last night however,
This effect was scarcely noticed and
us absence was perhaps, the most
slgnihcanc feature of the phenone-
non. The condition of the weather and
me state of the atmosphere at the
llme of the eclipse are largely re-
sponsible for the variation of this fea-
ture.
. The curved shadow of the earth upon
we bright disk of the moon was clearly
seen, and 1t was easy to see that the

diameter of the shadow was about
three times that of the moon itself.
There were many on the streets
engaged in eleventh hour Easter shop
ping, who enjoyed the beautiful phe-
nomenon. From o'clock, until the
conclusion of the eclipse, the moon
was visible. Many who had read the
Morning News exclusive forecast OF
the phenomenon watched eagerly for
the bank of clouds which at first OBJ
scured the face OF fair Luna to roll
away. Others who had not read of
the eclipse were taken by surprise
when they observed the moon, which
only the night before they admired
as, all but full, it sailed through the
canopied arch Of heaven. now In its
last quarter. AS the phenomena grad
ualiy changed, it dawned upon them
that they were witnessing an eclipse.
Those who did not know OF the
eclipse were, however, In the vast mi"
nority. They did not long remain in
the dark" TO rthe wise ones enlighten-
ed them. OF course the regular re-
cital of peculiar occurrences which at
tended previous eclipses was gone
through, the awe with which the
heathens hold such occurrences re-
lated, and the manner in which Column
bus secured provision from the West
Indians by predicting the obhteration
of the moon from the heavens in the
event his requisition was not forth
coming, related. Still, thousands
wondered at the unusual phenomenon,
easily perceiving how, in the unen-
iightened country, such sight might
alarm the .untutored native.
1t is well known that both the
.Christian Easter and the Jewish
Passover are determined by the
course of the moon, and that they
rarely fall upon the same day. This
year we have the rare occurrence OF
these two great religious festivals fall
ing upon the same day, and, more sin
gulariy still, being ushered in by an
eclipse Of the moon.

Quickly Restores Lost Vigor to Men.
A Free Trial Package Sent by Tail
So All Who Write.

Free trial packages of most re-
markable remedy are being mailed to
all who will write the State Medical
Institute. They cured so many men
who had battled for years against the
mental and physical suffering of lost
manhood. that the Institute has de-
cided to distribute free trial packages
to all who write. 1t is a home treat
nent, and all men who suffer with any
FORM of sexual weakness, resulting
from youthful folly, premature loss OF
strength and memory, weak back, vari-
cocele or emaciation of parts can now
cure themselves at home
The Savannah morning news., 1903-04-12

The remedy has a peculiarly grateful
effect of warmth and seems to act di-
rect to the desired location, giving
strength and development just where it
is needed. 1t cures all the ills and
troubles that come from years of mis-
use of the natural functions and has
been an absolute success in all cases.

ployed The Institute makes no re-
strictions. Any man who writes will

JOseph's Gigantic Trust.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN--Sir. In his
speech at the Rockland county fair the Hon.
David Bennett Hill made this remark con-
corning his SCriptural researches:
do not find anything In Holy Writ which con
templates the accumulation OF wealth through the
fundamentally OF gigantic corporate trusts de.
signed for the prevention Of legitimate Compel
tion In trade or the creation OF monopoly In bust
ness or anything that authorizes the watering OF
any stock, except the live stock upon our FARMS or
anything that justifes the enrichment OF men, eI
cept through the old fashioned and Scripture
method Of earning that which they shall possess.
Mr.. Hill appears to have overlooked in his
searchings OF the Scripture the trust formed
by Joseph. the son Of Jacob. when, during the
seven years Of plenty. he oornered all the food
OF famine game at s'loh price that he gath
cred up all the money that was found In the
land Of Egypt and in the land of Canaan" and
when the money failed took the poor peoples
PEELED them to sell their land and become
servants unto Pharoah. giving their lord
thenceforth us rent one-hfth Of all their lands
produced.
Is there any trust known 70 history on so
market, and SO remorseless ~. dealing with

In the odSr of sanGhtty and .hsFe is no hint

did 20 the poor people Of Egypt, The chiefest
Of his dying gathers blessings were bestowed
upon him BLESSINGS OF Heaven above, bless
the breasts and Of the womb unto the

this last prophecy Of David Bennett' The

gest him. BIBLE STUDENT.

buttsr and ss. ne tons Of cheese. Canada
thus demonstrates her possibilities In the
production OF these two articles Of dairy
use and consumption, for which the de-
mand is permanent and constantly in
creasing. She now supplies England
with about two-thirds Of her imported
cheese, but makes only small showing
in England's butter trade. England
consumes about 2s6, 900 tons Of butter an
nually. She produces about 5000 tons
at home, buys about $4,000 tons from
Russia, about 10000 tons from Australia
and New Zealand, and distributes her
trade for the remaining iTO,UU tons
among other countries Of the Continent
and portion to the United States. Can
ada secures less than per cent. OF the
total. This is not because she cannot
secure a larger share, but simply be-
cause she does not produce larger guam
tity.
In that direction there seems to be an
opportunity for the Canadian farmer and
dairyman to pile few more millions
Of dollars upon Canada's already very
large export trade, in which cheese APP
pears as one Of the largest items.

Canada's Dairy Interests.

During the last few weeks we have
called attention to the enormous in
crease Of Canada's foreign commerce,
the extension of her railway interests,
and the increase in her production of
cereals. These are important items in
Canadas recent rapid development, but
they are only single items. Other items
remain, and among them the develop
ment OF dairying interests Il notable.
The value of Canada's wheat export
for the fiscal year ending June 80, 1908,
is given as S24 ,56e, 1903. Thirty years. ago
it was about $2,O00O0O. Canadas ex-
port Of cheese for the last fiscal year
shows value Of S24,7l2,943, a figure a
little above that Of the wheat export.
Thirty years ago 1t scarcely exceeded
81, 100000 Less attention has been paid
10 butter, yet her exports Of that article
now approximate $1,000 900,
The total value of dairy products as
compared with the total value of cereal
production, including in both groups
the home consumption as well IA the
export trade, would doubtless exhibit "A
greater value for the cereals But the
dairy industry would show itself close
upon the heels Of the much better known
product Of the Canadian fields.
England Is tapada's best market for
her butter and cheese, a. also for her

Mr.. Bryan's HeterodOxy.

The Hon. WILLIAM j. BRYAN has been
graciously pleased to accept" the Hon.
JOHN H. CLARKE Of Ohio, who proudly
proclaimed that he was mo Chicago
Democrat in 1895. Mr.. CLARKE sinned,
but Mr.. BRYAN forgives him.
This tolerance of Mr.. BRYAN has got
him into trouble with one of his once
heartiest admirers. Col. ALEXANDER
TRouP, editor of the Neu Haven Union,
chairman Of the Connecticut State Demo-
cratic Committee in 1895 and Connecticut
member OF the Democratic National
Committee from 1895 to 1900, is the most
ardent Of Nutmeg, perhaps Of New
England, Bryanites. He has loved the
Sage of Fairview like younger brother.
He stands with both feet on the Kansas
City platform and defes the world the
flesh and the devil-wagon Of gold. COL
TRouP will not accept Mr.. CLARKE or
any other unregenerate Palmer and
Buckner Democrat. His voice is still
for war:
CLARKE. who boited the ticket In 1895. and arc st
unrepentant. will not live long enough to do pen.
ance for their political sins. instead Of being re.
warded with tho highest honors In the party for
their treachery. Mr.. BRYAN speaks for himself.
We think he has made mistake. The Union will
not support boilers. Men who act Independent
should not expect party preferment. 1t Is high
time that those who think alike acted together
and there should be no compromise with traitors
with arms In their hands"
Thus Mr. BRYAN is convicted of heresy,
and thus the badge of irreconcilable
Bryanite orthodoxy is torn from Col.
BRYAN's coat and pinned on Col. TRoUP's.

Tho interest OF the Japanese In matters

from to years of age amuse themselves
in good weather by falling in behind a

to make periodic inspections Of the school

For 30 poor II country az Japan the social
position Of the recruits for the army is par

families who have a direct income of five

This in a country of universal compulsory
service is quite remarkable, especially as the
school system has been established on
proper basis only since 1878.
England has recently entered into an ar
raugement with Japan, by which British
officers are to serve in the Japanese army
for two years at time. the first year to be
devoted TO learning the language, the second
to service In the regiments. In the same
way, Japanese officers are to be detailed
for service in the British army.

been ordered from Japan, and ! field guns
and 8 Maxims from England. The cavalry

Mausers and with Russian Berdans. The
navy is represented by but single ship, an
old merchant vessel srmed with 8 guns,
