OF
SUN AS WILL
Be SEEN HERE
Shadow Will be Visible in This
Vicinity Early in the
Morning.
ONLY THREE-QUARTERS
important Event in the SCientif-
iC World Will Last But a
Short Time Tomorrow.

Commencing in this part of the
country at eighteen minutes to o.
clock tomorrow morning there will
occur an eclipse of the sun, an event
of immense importance in the astro-
nomical world. 1t will end at half
past z o'clock, nearly two hours
later.
This part of the country will have
only three-quarter eclipse. Else
where it will be total dense shadow
path hundred and siXty-seven miles
wide, starting at sunrise just south
of Hudson Bay, and ending at sun
set in Southeastern Arabia. Expedi-
tions will go to Spain, Africa and
other parts of the world to view the
great event
How to Observe the Eclipse.
1t will not be necessary, however,
for the readers of the NEWS to go
away from home merely to see the
eclipse. The would-be observers will
only have to get out of bed earlier
than some of them may be in the
habit of doing.
The sun rises on Wednesday next
for Perth Amboy at SPA in the morn
ing.
The black shadow of the moon
creeps slowly over the face of the
great luminary until 6.46 A. NJ. when
a trifie more than twe-thirds- of it's
diameter will be covered. We will
then be getting considerably less
than usual supply of light from the
sun, a condition which makes itself
manifest in the altered appearance
of the streets and landscape.
To look at the sun itself, one
should be provided with smoked or
colored glass, or Photographic
plate developed until quite black If
the eclipse were to be total in this
section the last third would be much
more interesting to watch than the
previous portions, but this time the
moon glides by the sun without COW
ering it up completely and at 1876
the shadow passes entirely off, and
the eclipse is over.
Phenomenon Described.
What, should you rise early
enough to witness the phenomenon,
will you see? At the moment of
first contact the moon will resemble
black knob on the western rim of
the solar disk, and will rapidly be-
come palmer even to one gazing
through a smoked glass. This, how
ever, will be a mere prelude to the
drama AS the moon steals in be-
tween the sun and earth and the solar
disk is gradually eaten away to a
diminishing crescent the foliage of
the trees you will notice 1lecked with
dancing sunny sickles, minute i'm
ages of the partly obscured lumin-
ary.
Gradually the wonder will increase
until the solar disk becomes thin
silver bow, daylight meanwhile rap
idly giving way to a weird semi
twilight. Fringed family of silver
light, the moon will now appear as
it actually is-an immense black
ball lowering in the sky

He Wal Be ON Deck,

In about fifty years the last man who
was In Port Arthur with Stoessel will
begin dying to slow music. and he will
keep it up with more or less regularity
for the fifty years following.
Not only in the villages of Russia
but in every hamlet in the civilized
world will he yield up his life while the
neighbors stand around in awe and re-
late the story Of his heroic past.
While there were but $4,000 or 10000
men in the fortress at the time II took
a tumble to itself and fell, the number
Of its defenders who will die leaving q
legacy of glory to their children will
mount up into the hundreds of thou
sands.
1t seems sad to contemplate, but up
to the present time science has found
no way to combat the hero microbe
which plays havoc with so many of
u old men who have seen military
service.
