Although II was an excellent evening
for such enterprise the populace absolutely
declined to take any interest I'm the par
tial eclipse Of the moon. the only one OF

few thoughtful men and women and a few
idle young women with time hanging
weightily on their hands did Father VIII

the honor to call at Creighton university
observatory, take a look at the moon and
the shadow through the five-inch glass and
ask the good savant to express an opinion
as to whether or not the moon really is
inhabited. To all Of which Father Rigge
responded with good grace and cheer.
With the assistance of Prof, Tenk of st.
Mary's college and Prof Cloud of ST.
Louis university, who are visiting at the
Creighton institution, Father Rigge noted
scientific observation of the eclipse and
all that pertained to IT, which TO use his
own language. was mot much"
Little or nothing is to be gained by
astronomers from this partial eclipse"

eclipse of the moon takes place. then it is
hoped to determine whether the moon has
satellite, the amounts of heat thrown
Off by the moon and to develope other un-
proved facts. For some purposes the
moon is best studied in shadow"

clear and the naked eye was quite suf-
ficient to note the circular shaped notch
on the lower part of the moon, From some
few balconies and in an occasional back
yard the family opera glasses were trotted
out for a bit OF gazing. but the populace
as whole paid about as much attention
