ASTRONOMERS MAY FEAST.
Several Attractive Sky Pictures
Scheduled for Tomorrow.

In connection with the partial eclipse of
the sum- which will be visible in this city
from $50 o'clock am. to 12:45 o'clock
pm tomorrow. 1t was explained today
that the appearance of the orb when the
moon is crossing its face will be like that
Of d round ginger cake with piece bitten
out of it, 1t was also stated that imme-
diately after sunset tomorrow Jupiter.
Mercury, Mars Neptune and Venus may
be seen grouped in the west. They Will
not be seen again in such proximity. as
tronomers say. for several hundred years.
During the partial eclipse Of the sun to-
morrow astronomers in all parts of the
world will be able to see the star Arctu-
raS
Astronomers further explain that the
moon. 2,16O miles in diameter. is 100000
miles from the earth. 1t revolves around
the earth in % days IL hours 44.O5 min
utes. Her orbit is very intricate one,
because the earth, in moving around the
sun, carries the moon along with II: hence
the latter is sometimes within and some
times without the earth's orbit. Its form
is that Of a ssrpentine curve, always con-
cave toward the sun. The moon always
presents the same face to us. Its time of
rotation, therefore, is exactly equal to the
time Of its revolutioIy around the earth.
The attractive force of the moon acting
on the waters of the oceans is inStru-
mental in raising them into tides. The
tidal wave can never arrive at any place
until about one hour after the moon COW
cred the meridian of the place.
