SOUTHWEST IS PROSPEROUS
President Of The Frisco Gives an En-
courAsins Report on Crops

We clip the following from the
Railway World Of Philadelphia:
President A. ]. Davidson, of the
st. Louis and San Francisco, who
has just made anlextended inspec-
tion trip of that company's lines,
says he feels much encouraged over
the outlook. II made through
investigation in regard to crop
prospects" he says 'and condit-
ions are much better than ] ex
pected to find them, in view of
excessive rainfall in the past two
or three months. In the Indian
and Oklahoma Territories small
grain is fully rs per cent better
than last year. Oklahoma Terri
tory will produce $1,000. 900 bush
els Of wheat, which will be an
average yield of twelve bushels per
acre. The cotton acreage in Okla
homa and Indian Territories is ap-
proximately the same as last year.
I'm some portions there is de-
creased acreage, while in others
there is slight increase in acreage,
but we Will handle the same
amount Of cotton as last year.
1T is somewhat difficult to esti-
mate the cotton crop of Texas,
but from personal observation and
information, am of the opinion
there will be a decrease Of fully 10
/ to Is per cent. The plant was
badly damaged in the lowlands Of
tnat state on account of the heavy
rainfall. In Kansas the wheat
crop is very promising, a conser-
vative ertimate placing it al 7o,-
ooo, 900 bushels, while i'll my opin-
ion il will be nearer $4,000, 900
bushels. The average yield per
acre IS eighteen bushels. The
corn crop in the entire Southwest
lis larger and in better condition
than in any previous year. It is
practically made in northern Texas
and in the southern portion of
Indian and Oklahoma Territories,
SO that unless some unusual wealth
er conditions prevail we will have
a bumper corn crop. With sat
isfactory conditions prevailing
there is every prospect OF good
business for the railroads serving
the southwest territory.

Eclipse Of the Sun.


next Monday morning Will be o
most interesting event and will
attract the attention of almost
every living thing for the short
space of time, about one and a
half minutes, vivid from this part
of the state the eclipse will not
appear total but will be very in
teresting.
Professor Simon Newcomb, the
well known astronomer, has a timely
and instructive article in McClure's
magazine for May, explaining what
astronomers, expect to learn from the
total eclipse of the sun which is to
occur OH the 28th of this month.
The article begins with descrip
ton of the manner in which the
eclipse will occur. The moon appears
as dark object, beginning at the
left and gradually covers the bright
surface Of the sun, first showing a
very small dark spot and gradually
increasing until only bright crescent
remains Sf the suns surface. The
moon in this eclipse appears to bt
about the size of the sun, and when
the latter is fully covered nothing re
mains but kind OF halo or ring of
light around the dark circle of the
moon. This ring of light is called
the corona and astronomers are diyid-
ed in their opinion as to the cause CT
it. The settlement of this question
is one object of the observations Ia
ken wherever the total eclipse is visi-
BILE.
Another interesting fact about
the eclipse is that as the dark circle
Of the moon gradually covers the
bright surface of the sun its edge
passes over bright red spots which re-
appear later as the moon passes off.
For a long time astronomers have been
puzzled to know what these red spots
are and many observations have been
taken to learn the cause of this phe.
nomenon. The aid of the spectre
scope was sought some years ago,
when there was total eclipse of the
sun visible in India, and the French
government an eminent astronomer
to make observations there. His re.
port was that these red spots we've
enormous masses of hydrogen gas on
the surface of the sun.
The same discovery was u ade by
Norman Lockyer, an eminent English
astronomer, ana his report of it
reached the French academy at the
same meeting when the report of the
French astronomer who Lad made
the same discovery in India was re.
ceived. To commemorate this dis
covery the academy caused to be
struck a medal containing profles of
both Lockyer and the French astrono-
per.
Professor Newcomb suggests a
simple and effective means of mark
ing the progress of the moon across
the disc of the sun. lie says that if
an ordinary spyglass is reversed and
the small end pointed toward the sun
picture of the eclipse will be thrown
ona piece of paper or card board

graph. He says that photography
will be used to discover any hitherto
unobserved appearance about the sun
or the moon during the eclipse, and
calls attention to the fact that by the
aid of photographs many stars, hith-
erto not observable, have been locat-
ed.
The moon comes in for share OF
attention during the eclipse, and
Professor Newcomb says it will be
interesting to discover the mountains
on the surface of our satellite.
AS the moon passes between us and
the sun appearing as dark circle,
| its edge comes out clear cut and
sharply defined against the brighter
surface. In this way notched, rag
ged edge shows the mountains of the
moon. Professor Newcomb recalls
some interesting facts in the past his
tory Of eclipses. In one instance,
some centuries before Christ, on the
18th of June, the Lydians and Medes
were engaged in battle, when a total
eclipse of the sun occurred and the
two armies stopped fighting, and for
time were disposed to make peace
with each other. This eclipse has
been accurately located by astrono-
mers ON the date indicated by an in
scription discovered on Assyrian
nj naments, namely, on the 18th of
June, B. G.
This calculation is based ON what
is known of the rate at which the
moon moves. Professor Newcomb
says that one of the most important
subjects upon which astronomers will
seek to get new light by observation
Of this eclipse is the movement Of the
moon. They hope to determine more
accurately the rate at which it passes
through the heavens in order that
they may fix with more accuracy and
confidence the exact time of events
which have occurred on or near the
dates of total eclipses!
Professor NeWcomb says that when
total eclipse occurs il northern lat
itudes the chances for a perfectly
clear sky, free not only from clouds
but from mists is nothing like so
good as it will be in Georgia, Alaba
ma aud North Carolina on the 2Sth
of May. 1t has been many years,
he says, since total eclipse was visi
BILE over a portion of the earth's sur
face where climatic conditions were
so ia vorable for observation. The
Popular Science Monthly, in similar
article, state, that the chances for
minimum cloudines, are better in
Georgia than in either of the other
states.
The duration Of the Eclipse will be
very shert, lasting only from one to
one and half minutes, but astrono-
mers expect to accomplish as much
as they have ever done in other lati-
tudes where the duration of the total
eclipse was longer. For purposes of
observation the professor recommends
a spyglass of ordinary power or even
good opera glass. lie says that in
struments of low magnifying power
are better for this purpose than large
talasnnnes
