THE ECLIPSE OBSCURED.
The Heavy Snow Storm Last Night
Hindered Observation.

Because Of a heavy snowstorm the
officials at the Naval Observatory.
Washington, early last night gave np
any hope Of taking observations of the
eclipse Of the moon. which began after
midnight and continued one hour and
thirty-seven minutes. It was raining
hard at midnight, with no prospects
OF clearing.
For an eclipse of the moon to occur
the earth must be between the moon
and the sun. as a result of which an
eclipse OF the moon can occur only at
what would be full moon at any other
time. There will be two eclipses of
the moon in 1906, but that of last
night was the only one which could
have been visible in this part of the
world. None Of the three eolipses of
the sun will be visible in Annapolis.
this year.
BY making certain measurements of
the crater and its surroundings before
aud during the eclipse. and afterward
comparing the two, it can be learned
ii any change has occurred during
the eclipse, as the formation will
present a different measurement, due
70 the sudden formation of ice, etc.
which is caused by the sudden lower
ing of the temperature. Astronomers

some star passes the moon and emerges

of speed at which the moon travels.
can figure the exact diameter of the
moon. This observation was to have

of their colleagues who have-and have

an established institution in certain
playhouses in the east which have anna

tell about it. He knows. He "expe-

who have survived the shock. Proof
Of this is found in the fact that he is

There was surplus Of talent, and
the chance to go on wasn't open to
every one. An amateur would be
thrown on the stage without any re-
hearsal, and if he didn It make good he
would not last over minute at the
most.
"The audiences had about as much
sympathy for stage-struck amateur al
the Roman populace used to have FOL

and throw things, too, but still some
