Chicago, Aug. 3o.--Thousands
of citizens arose at dawn today to
witness the spectacle Of the par
tial eclipse of the sun. On the
south side they were successful to
a considerable. degree, but alonq
the north shore clouds and smoke
rendered the phenomenon invls-

Washington, D. c., Aug. 3d.
The eclipse of the sun was only
partial at this point. Astronomers
at the naval observatory were en-
abled to observe three spots on
the sun. This is no discovery,
however, as the presence Of the
spots became known before.

Humors OF Golf in Exxnt.

There are many humorous things
connected with golf in Egypt, accord
ing to the Argonaut. There are what
might be called extra hazardous haz-
ards; for example, at one links, in
upper Egypt, the golf course wound its
desert way past an oasis on which was
luxuriant field of clover. A sliced
ball was extremely apt to hide itself in
this clover The following new rule
was made by the Arabs. That nobody
in boots or shoes could enter the oasis
limits to search for balls; only bare
footed people otherwise Arabs were
allowed to enter.
Every day we found large popula-
ton of Arabs around the oasis waiting
for golf balls to go to grass. Some
times, fear, they were assisted there
It required much baksheesh to get
them out. At last there were so many
lost balls that an Investigation was
made by the green committee. An old
woman was discovered hiding near the
clover hazard. When you made fine
long approach, the old lady grabbed
the golf ball and took to her heels
She regarded the balls as her legiti.
mate spoil, and offered them freely for
sale to the original owners at cut
prices. 1t took an enormous amount OF
time and labor to convince her that she
must give up her practice.

Businessman Who Performed the Feat
Easily.
On Jan. !, 1908, conceived the idea
of walking 5000 miles before the ex-
piration of the year, says a writer in
Outing. The object was not to achieve
any unusual feat nor to accomplish any
conspicuous performance. The under
lying motive was, rather, to insure a
plan by which regular and systematic
exercise could be obtained.
To travel this distance it was neces-
sary to cover an average of IA miles
a day. Now, IA miles for days walk
is well within the compass of the ordi-
nary man. But an occasional walk Of
this length is one thing, the sustained
effort, day after day through the year,
is another.
Let me answer the question by say.
ing that at the end of the year had
completed distance ON foot of 5,205
miles, daily average Of 14A miles.
The stipulated 5000 miles were fin
ished on Dec. 16, but an additional 200
miles were covered in order that each
of the So weeks of the year might
claim an average distance traversed Of
100 miles.
set out upon my enterprise with the
knowledge that it was incumbent upon
me to main,ain daily average Of ID
miles, and made 1t rule, when prac-
ticable, Of keeping about the average,
so as to have something In hand to
meet the emergencies which were al
most certain to arise. That they did
arise was shown by the fact that for
10 days in the war, owing to sick
ness, lameness and railway travelling,
no walking whatever could be INDUCED
In. The inability to utilize these Is
days was equal to lsss of over 200
miles. It will, therefore, be seen that,
under the circumstances samed, it was
imperative on many occasions, to ex-
coed the distance of IA miles q day
in order to preserve the average.
At the beginning of my walk my
weight was 1872 pounds In street
clothes, while at the end OF it my
weight was 17S pounds. This soss of
ID pounds was il every way acaepta-
BILE. The avoirdupois lost was only re-
dundant weight, and felt, as a reANlt.
more active, stronger and harder. In
the matter Of health, felt decidedly
better than had done for several

Pushing the Old Folks Aside.

When the babies are cross and a
man would like a quiet retreat there
is none for him. But in a few years.
when the children are grown and he
is in the way, the daughters and
mother put their heads together and
originate a den. There is no den for
the mother because she gracefully
eliminates herself by sitting in the
kitchen or running over to a neigh
boris. 1t is her natural disposition to
hide in corner or remove herself en-
tirely. and it is not the natural dispost.

Permit me to remark, however, that you
were In America, and your uncle was in
