Solar Eclipse of 1905
Occurs August 80.

Golfers Weekly of August 26, con.
tains some very interesting matter
concerning the great astronomical
event of the year-the total eclipse of
August 80. The pathway of shadow
begins at sunrise south IF Hudson
Bay, enters the Atlantic Ocean a short
distance north of Newfoundland,
crosses northeastern Spain, north
eastern Algiers, and northern Tunis,
passes centrally over Assuan on the
Nile, and ends at sunset in southeast

and at Assuan, is two and half,
three and three-fourths, and two and
three-fifths minutes respectively. Yet

A Pensacola Newspaper
of Seventy Years Ago.

walton. This old newspaper, printed
when Pensacola was but small vii.
lage and long before the great ma.
lority of the city's present inhabitants
were born, contains a great deal of
interesting matter. Among other fea-
lures, showing the trend of sentiment
and conditions as they existed at that
time, is an editorial comment on the
advantages of advertising" which is
as applicable now as it was then. The
editorial is as follows:
A correspondent of one o: the French
papers takes some pains tC prove that
all the manufacturing wealth of Eng
land and citizens prosperity of Lon
don is to be traced to the popular Gus,
tom of advertising. By his account
there is no species of fabric, from

rin-making upwards, that can exist
without systematic operation Of adj
vertisement One blacking-maker the
says) not only inserts several in the
week, but he sends his men to chalk
the walls within forty miles of the
great cities. One publisher pays
S,000& a year for pulling his new
works, and one great auctioneer ex-
ponds no less than 20 C a day for
making known to the public the num-
Der Of estates he has to sell. The
writer concludes by calling on all
Frenchmen who are devoted to their
eountry's good to advertise everything
they want, by which their fortunes
will be made, the public benefited,
and the press, the great support or
their liberties, be enriched.
Thus we see that seventy years
ago, the enterprising business man
was as much alive to the advantages
of publicity as he is today. But ia
addition to the consideration of SELF
interest, he advocated advertising for
the benefit of "the press, the great
support of their liberties" and it is
not to be doubted that people in those
days knew how to appreciate a free
and untrammeled press TO an extent
which it is doubtful if they approach
today.

tice so far as the people in Duval
county are concerned.
This is exactly what The Journal
has been advocating and we venture
to predict that after two or three well
dressed gentlemen lawbreakers. who
have heretofore got off by the pay
ment Of a fine, are made to do time in
the chain-gang, there will not be quite
so much pistol toting in that commun-
ity as there no doubt is row.
Human life is altogether too cheap
in Florida, and in a good many other
places for that matter, and its cheap
ness is the result largely of the failure
of the courts to impose the limit of
punishment on men who unlawfully
carry pistols for the purpose of kill
ing a fellowman. There is no dodg-
ing the issue-the man who carriers
a concealed gun does it for the pur-
pose of killing some one-and the
punishment for carrying such a weap-
on should be made to fit the crime
itself.
Escambia county has had many bit
ter experiences as a result of this
fact, and the cost both in life and
money would be hard to estimate.
The payment Of little 500 fine by
a man who has money or friends is
nothing more than a license for the
privilege Of continuing his dangerous
concealed weapon practice. If such
were sentenced, on conviction, to the
convict camp, it would have the effect
of partially at least breaking the prac.
tice up, and that is exactly where they
should be sent.

that surrounds the sun and can be
seen only at the time of a total
eclipse.
There is nothing Of special interest
until the solar disk is mostly cover
ed by the moon as it glides between

The shadows cast by the foliage be-

the leaves, instead of forming little
circle on the earth, makes little
crescent, an image of the partly COW

Iotality the darkness begins to be felt
and sense of uneasiness pervades
the scene. Birds cease their song and
hasten to their nests twittering to
each other as at twilight, grasshop-
pers cease their chirpihg, and even
the flowers have been known to close
their petals as at twilight.
At the same time the air becomes
decidedly chilly, and sometimes dew
appears. In few moments, if tho
observer faces the western horizon,
the moons shadow is seen approach

neavy thunderstorm. 1t advances
with terrifying swiftness, until it en-

does when an eclipse occurs near sun

reach as great a velocity as four orr

Should Back Up Pensacola.

Pensacola has taken up in earnest
a movement for a national quarantine
law. This is a movement, when in
proper shape, that should receive the
support of all Gulf states. 1t has been
clearly demonstrated that when this
matter is left to each state separately
no good can. come of it. Commercial
ism Is allowed to enter into the mat
ter and the result is sooner or later an
epidemic. A national law administer
ed by the national authority would re-
move the question from all local in
fiuences and surroundings and would
give the whole public that protection
to their life which it is justly entitled
to. The Herald strongly favors the
national system, wisely enacted and
wisely handled. AS far as it has gone
in Florida it works well. but it can
never be the success that it should be
until all the states are brought into
line. Under the recent system of one
state being under the national super
vision and another local direction, the
good work done by the former is I'M
done by the bad work of the latter to
certain extent. The whole country
should back up the Pensacola move
ment and give it hearty support until
the law is passed by congress.-Tam-
pa Herald.
