THE NEW POWER HOUSE.
Change In the Pumping Plant Works
satisfactorily.

The work of transferring the big
pump into the new power house was
completed Saturday evening by Mar
shal Gholson and his force Of men.
The fittings and pipes were connect
ed to the pumps and the new S0-horse
power boiler, and everything on start
ing up, was found to work in most
satisfactory manner. The new boiler
cost the city $685.. The power house
is constructed of brick and is fire
proof.
The purpose Of the present plant Is
to serve III an auxiliary capacity to
the new water system, when it is in
stalled in emergency cases, such as
fire, repairing system, etc.

SOLAR ECLIPSE CAMP,
NORTHWEST RIVER PosT
Up1aya, AuR. IA.

1t is q far cry from Hudson Bay to the
Red Sea. The deserts Of Arabia and the
| Persian Gulf are wildernesses Of sand and
| soorching sun. The wildernesses Of Un-
| gava and Labrador are Of barren rock and
blasting cold. It would be hard to say
which Is the more terrible and destructive
the first kills by the swift torments Of thirst
| and parching heat, the second by the more
| lingering waste Of hunger and dreadful
cold.
But the same great shadow sweeps from
the one region to the other on. the day Of
Aug. 50 next. When the sun rises on the
eastern shores Of Hudson Bay the moon
Is already covering it; the jewellers along
a narrow track in northern Spain will have
their sun blotted out at monday, and travel
era in the far eastern deserts beyond the
Red Sea will have their sky darkened ere
l. is get night.
Wherever it is possible. astronomers will
go to the narrow zone where the eclipse
is total to observe the suns surroundings.
1t is not now enough for a single observer
at one place alone to watch or photograph
the collapsed sun, no matter how fair the
weather may he nor how successful his
observations. The time Of the eclipse is
SHORTCUT three and three-quarter minutes
at its greatest-and the same eclipse must
be observed at different times.
Now, the time of total eclipse can only be
effectively increased by increasing the
number Of observers And since the
shadow Of the moon takes time to travel
over the earth's surface, the same eclipse
can be observed .. different moments Of
time by stationing observers at different
points on the shadow track.
The actual sunrise end Of this eclipse
track is ungetable from an effective astro-
nomical point Of view. Not only would 1t be
practically impossible to transport the
astronomer and his Instruments, at once
heavy and delicate, to tho UNEMPLOYED
regions beyond Hudson Bay, but the sun
when close to the horizon Ia dstorted by
refraction and the mists Of the surface,
and photographs would be Of little or no
value. a-
Exactly similar objections hold for the
extreme sunset end OF the eclipse track,
and thus 1t comes about that the first eclipse
station actually occupied is at the North
west River post Of the Hudson Bay Com
pany; and the last eclipse station is at As.
souan In Egypt. Between these two ex-
tremes innumerable astronomers are en-
camped-on the coast Of Labrador, through
out the eolipfe zone Of Spain. In the Balearie
Islands, in Algeria and Tunis.
Ae it has been already said. the station
where the eclipse could be practically OBJ
served at the earliest hour In tho morning
is at Northwest River at the junction Of
Grand Lake and Lake Melville Tor Gros-
water Lake). and behind this the great and
practically unexplored region Of Uneava
lies. It was from this point that two years
ago Hubbard and Wallace set out to find
the trail TO Lake Miohikaman, N expedition
which ended % disastrously.

Inlet form chain Of great lakes, though
the inlet itself does not deserve the name
Of lake, as its whole eastern border is merged
In the open sea. The mountains or hills
which stand round them are bare and bleak

IN Its most elementary form is impossible,
for the soil for bare patch OF potatoes
must be gathered in handfuls and brought

dug in rocks and covered with moss for q

The chances OF fair weather are not very
promising. To the astronomer, cloud light
or heavy and fog or mist is as fatal as an
actual downpour Of rain. There is not
very protracted meteorological record
kept OF the weather at this OUTPOST of
civilization but such as it is 1t seems to
show that the chances for clear and for
