THE ECLIPSE

At a few minutes before 10 o'clock to.
morrow Sunday morning and until
nearly the sun will be in partial eclipse.
Two at least, sometimes as many as six,
eclipses OF the sun occur during the
course of calendar year, Jet the number
witnessed by any person is likely to be
few in comparison with his years.
All persons of mature years have fre.
quently seen eclipses of the moon, which
are fewer than those of the sun in the
proportion of eleven to sisteen. The
reason of this anomaly is found in the
fact that when the moon is eclipsed every
body who can see the moon can see the
eclipse, the moon being immersed in the
shadow of the earth. On the other hand,
an eclipsed of the sun represents an act
ual passage of the moon between the sun
and the earth, and only those who are
directly in the line Of the moons shadow,
partial or complete, can hope to see any
thing of what is going on.
The moon, when visible at all, 10 seen
by half the inhabitants OF the earth's
surface, and as the eclipse lasts for con-
siderable time even this area is extended
by the revolution Of the earth, causing
the eclipsed moon to rise on regions
which had not seen the beginning. Such o
phenomenon was witnessed in this local.
ity in 1908. The area in which an
eclipse of the sun is visible will not aver
age far from one tenth Of the earth's sur
face, including oceans and polar regions.

CHILD MANNED ON BOAT

Excursionists on the steamer Thomas
Clyde, when she reached the wharf at
Woodland Beach, Sunday, with a big
Philadelphia Chester excursion, were
panic-stricken when they saw little
Philadelphia girl ground beneath the
gang-plank of the steamer just before the
boat landed.
The Clyde, all bedecked in flags and
National colors and crowded with excur-
sionists forsaking the sweltering city for
a sail down the bay, was being warped
into her wharf at Woodland. Captain
and crew were endeavoring to keep back
and clear the way for the gangplank.
Just as the steamear touched, the crew
swung back for mighty toss OF the plank.
The deck-hands did not observe the little
girl start across the crowded deck until
too late. The plank caught and crushed
the child, grinding one leg almost to a
pulp. Men and women screamed and
some swooned.
DR.. J. w. Clifton, of Smyrna, was hur-
riedly summoned and rendered all aid
possible, but the child was quickly re-
moved to Philadelphia under recommen-
dations from the physician that she be
sent to the Samaritan Hospital.

RUSTY CANS AND MILK.

The New Jersey Board OF Health
has started an active crusade, looking
toward the enforcement of the new
law which provides for the thorough
cleaning Of all milk cans by city re-
ceivers before returning. Arrests have
been made in Jersey City and $25 fine
for each offense is looked for.
In Bulletin 1872 Of the Wisconsin Ag-
ricultural Experiment Station, the
harm to milk handled in rusty cans
is brought out, and the following con-
illusions were reached on the subject:
l. A better grade of utensils should
be used in the handling of milk and
it's products. The iron or steel plate
should be heavier and more thickly
coated with tin.
2. No milk should be accepted at a
factory which has been kept in iron
exposed pals or cans.
8. The factory or creamery should
be an example of neatness and clean
liness, with all utensils in first class
condition.
4. Cooperation among the prOprie-
tors of creameries, cheese factories,
and city milk supplies will tend to
bring about cleanliness among patrons,
and the use of better utensils.
5. Milk should be bought on it's
merits, by some satisfactory arrange
ment following we'll founded sanitary
and hygienic rules, by which the pro-
duction Of milk of superior quality is
encouraged, and milk of low grade
either rejected or gradually improved.
