ECLIPSE OF PASCHAL NOON
Novel Astronomical Condition that is Set
az Next Saturday.
EASTER SUNDAY INVOLVED IN EVENT
Father Risge of Creighton Observa-
tory Gives = short Preliminary
Description of an Inter
esting Exhibitions.

Next Saturday evening there will be an
eclipse Of the moon. Compared with that
good total eclipse which we saw on October
is the present eclipse might be tabooed as
a failure. And that for several reasons.
First, the present eclipse is not total, al
though IL Is so nearly total that 81 per cent
Of the moons diameter is immersed in the
earth's shadow. The sight would yet be
worth the seeing we're It not for the second
reason, that the moon is we'll on her way
out Of the shadow before rising above the
horizon Of Omaha.
And here the third circumstance comes in
to mar the impressiveness of the phenome-
non, in that the moon rises a few minutes
before the sun sets. The abundance Of day
light at that time will therefore detract
much from the moons visibility.
On account of these adverse conditions
very few people in the city will notice the
eclipse at all. There is, however, another
side to the story, and those of our readers
who are automatically inclined will find
several points to interest them in the pres
ent eclipse.
First, the appearance Of the moon at the
time OF its rising will be a very unusual
sight. II we look at the line Of BLUFFS across
the river at a point about 10 degrees 20
the south Of east we shall see at about 6:51
p. m. a peculiar looking luminous finger
pointing directly upward, and although nov
ing o~bliquely upward toward the right,
seeming to rise perpendichlarly from behind
the hills. This finger will rapidly curve
away toward the right, and when completely
above the horizon will present the appear
ance Indicated In the drawing. A slight ac-
quaintance with the phases Of the moon
will tell us that the moon must always APP

and by a semi-eclipse on the other. At the
time Of al eclipse, however, both bounding
curves are parts of unequal circles, so that
the moons appearance is very much al
tered.
Thirdly, as the moon rises next Saturday
night four minutes before the sun sets.
we shall have the very unique sight of
both luminaries Just above and as II were
resting ON the horizon, the one q full
round red ball and the other a peculiar
silvery truncated crescent, Numerically
opposite. While the full outline of the
moons disk is often visible during an
eclipse, as 1t was SO we'll last October, It is
most likely that this will not be the case
In the coming eclipse on account of the
daylight.
Fourthly, the moon. to be eclipsed next
Saturday is the Paschal moon, that it, the
moon which this year determines the date
OF Easter. Without entering at present
into the construction of the calendar, It
will sufhce for our purpose to remember
that Easter is celebrated on the Sunday
following the first full moon Of spring.
There are, therefore, three conditions i'm
posed upon the date of this feast; first, it
must occur In spring; second, after the
first full moon of spring, and third on a
Sunday. The first condition is an easy one
in, practice, because the beginning Of
spring has been fixed upon the 21st of
March, and the leap years have been so
disposed that in the course Of time this
date shall never vary. The second condi-
ton, the date OF the full moon, is a very
difficult one in theory, but in practice It
has been so much simplihed that any per-
son Of average intelligence can, after a
little study and by the observance Of a few
rules. find the date Of the first full moon
Of spring, and by its means determine the
date OF Easter for any year whatever. AS
to the third condition, that Of the Sunday,
1t is to be observed that Easter is never
celebrated on the day of the full moon
itself when that day happens to be a
Sunday, but always on tho Sunday follow
ing the full moon.
These three conditions, therefore, de-
termine the date of Easter and TX It upon
the Sunday following the first full moon
of spring. When this full moon falls upon
the 21st OF March itself, and the day fol-
lowing is Sunday, the 22nd of March is the
earliest date of Easter. This happens
rarely, only thirty times in sixty CEN
turtles. The last time was in 1918 and the
next will not be until 1885.
When the full moon occurs on the goth
Of March, that Is on the day before the
beginning Of spring. we must wait until
the 18th OF April in order to have the first
full moon Of spring. When this day is a
Sunday we must wait another week until
the 25th OF April. the latest possible date,
in order to celebrate Easter. This latest
date OF Easter occurs forty-six times in
5000 years. The last time was in 1886 and
the next will be 1913.

AT The COLOSSEUM

The extra race announced for the Prov

men who are on the tracks today. The
management has been exceedingly fortu-

question about his skill. his courage, or
his ability TO make big time.
Monroe this season has been giving the
leaders all sorts OF scares. and has forged

POISONOUS
OINTMENT
Alfred Lap0nd, After Family
Troubles, Attempted Suicide
al Central Falls Yesterday.

After having quarreled with members
or his family. Alfred Lapond, 20 years of
age. attempted suicide at the Adams
house at Central Falls yesterday. by
swallowing some OF the contents of a
box OF mercury ointment.
The young man has been working as
bartender in the saloon conducted by
his father, Ludger Lapond at 72 Hedley
avenue and lived with the family until
last Monday, when IT is stated he had
some trouble with his brother. He then
went TO tho Adams house on Broad
street and registered under his own name
giving Worcester as his residence.
For some time he has been keeping
company with Lydia Harwood, a pretty
17-year-old girl who resides at Pawtuck-
ct. but whose home is in Central Falls,
and they have been estranged at times
during the past year. Last night as
Miss Harwood was I'm Central Falls
visiting her home. I'm company with
friend OF Lapond's named Gilbert St
John. Lapond came up and handed the
girl note and said: You had better
come right away II YOU want TO see me-"
He then hurried away and after she had
entered the mouse, the note was round
TO read as follows:
Dear Lydia: I have been home to-
night. and II you want TO see me for
the last time come see me right away.
Yours truly. Alfred.
Come right away, as II might he too
late. ] am at the Adams, house"
The strange action OF Iapond caused
Some uneasiness and so accompanied by
st. John. Miss Harwood went to the
hotel where proprietor Vieu showed them
the young mans room. He was partly
dsrobed In the bed and after muttering
something lay there silently. Hks con-
ditson was such as 10 give cause for
alarm and n physician was sent for DR.
Francis NJ. Harrington responded and
gave a hypodemic injection to induce
vomiting and then II was seen that La
pond had taken mercury ointment

ment was found Just outside the window
on the roof OF n low building
This morning II was reported that the
young man was resting quietly and that
he was out OF danger.
