EcIipse of the Moon.

As had been previously announced,
the moon passed into one of her periodi-
cal retreats this morning and remained
.,h her face in the earth's shadow for
hour and SO minutes. The moon then
passed from the cone of blackness and
continued on her way. At 1901 a. m.
the earth began TO darken the moons
face and few minutes before O'Clock
had completely enveloped her in dark
ness. The clouds which covered the
heavens rendered the phenomenon un-
interesting to those who we're awake at
the time. Though not seen, this Is what
happened The shadow caused by the
earth in occupying position between
the sun and the moon formed an I'M
mense cone of blackness, with the earth
itself as the base and the apex pointing
away from the sun. Into this shadow
the moon moved from the west passing
out at the east. At 1881 the moon
touched the outer edge OF the darkness
and her retreat was begun. BY l:57,
even had the skies been clear, the moon
could not have been seen, at that time
being in total eclipse. At 4:S7 this
morning il ended. There will be two
eclipses of the moon this year, but that
of last night was the only one which
could have been visible in this part OF
the world. None of the three eclipses Of
the sun this year will be visible in this
city
