called particular attention 70 the total

some of the members Of the association

the journey would be a long one.
1t it any wonder, when We realize that
although a total eclipse occurs every
year from 1907 to 1912, and that none are
easy to observe between those dates,
that no effort has been made to observe
the total eclipse of January IS. 1907, at
one at least Of the ten possible stations
whose positions have been so carefully
computed by Prof. David =. Todd.
.nasmuch as there is difference be-
tween the civil and the astronomical day,
some confusion may arise from the con-
flicting dates on which the eclipse will
occur. The astronomical day begins at
noon; the civil day at midnight, twelve
hours earlier. Hence according TO the
one system the eclipse will occur on
January 49, and according to the other

LOVES A CANADIAN GIRL,
For This Reason n Polish Nobleman
Has Become Il United states Soldier.

Because his titled mother objected
strongly to his love for a Cana
dian girl, r. F. Horetzky, a Po-
fish nobeman, is now United
States soldier Until recently. for four
teen years he had been a commissioned
officer in the English army, and the fall
from captaincy to the station OF a pri-
vate, compelled to walk post with a rifle
on his shoulder and do kitchen police, IS
due to his refusal TO give up the girl OF
his choice
Horetzky is soldier whose ability and
bravery have been tried and not found
wanting. He served throughout the Boer
war and received several medals for bra
very. At the end of the war he was sent
with his reg ment to Halifax. While sta
toned there he fell in Iovo with the girl
for whom ne gave up a captaincy in Tho
English army
She was n simple Canadian GIRL living
in St Johns, and the Polish nobleman
was not long in finding out that she was
his affinity, Ine inevitable result was
an engagement between the two. but the
marriage was strenuously opposed by tho
nohleman's mother and brother officers
When, last summer the last of tho
number of the officers were left at Hall
fax TO instruct the permanent militia
which now garrisons the army posts
throughout Canada. 1t was Horetzky's
good fortune to he among these officers.
He was thus given a chance 10 remain
near his loved one.
But soon the opposition to his love nf-
fair became SO strong that early last fall
he secured leave of absence and, IN
order to he as near as possible to the
girl and still not be on Canadian soil. ne
went to PlattsburRh, where he has since
lived making occasional visits to St.
Johns.
Horetzky's mother paid him several
visits in Plattsburgh and endeavored 10
induce him to give up the girl and return
TO his army post. This he refused to 10.
Upon her last visit the mother consented
to his giving up his English commission
and enlsting as a private in Uncle Sans
army, probably hoping that his expert
ence as an enlisted man, with possible
service In the far away Philippines.
would gradually take away his love for
the Canadian girl
Accordingly. he has enlisted in Com
pany A, 9Th infantry, at Pittsburgh bar
racks and Is now wearing the olive drab
uniform of the enlisted men of the Uni
ted States The fact that he Is a Polish
nobleman and a recruit In the American
army is a source of happiness to him,
because It means occasional leaves of alb
sence during which he can run up to st.
Johns and visit the girl OF his choice
