MATHEMATICAL TABLES
ADJUSTED BY ECLIPSE
Astronomers Corrected Calculations
BY 1t = Other Astronomical
Events for this Year.


In the copper colored rays of the
moon in full eclipse Thursday even
ing, men at sea, in all the great obser-
vatories and scientific stations, read
justed their mathematical tables,
fixed distances and determined exact
locations upon the maps and charts.
The eclipse set measurements OF
space and brought to a determination
time and distance as observers and
astronomers compute. Calculations
made in the latitude three years ago
were brought adjustment made &C
curate again.
The eclipse as visible from this
part of the country was total. Luna
rose and remained within the shadow
of the earth until about $3.50 O'Clock.
At s the demonstration was total.
The earth did not actually intervene
between the sun and the moon but
the shadow of the earth is extended
with distance and through that
shadow Luna rode.
The copper colored reflection was
due to the fact that all the violet,
indigo and blue rays of the sun are
absorbed by the earth's atmosphere
and nothing is left except the red
fiery light, to be reflected from the
cold surface of the moon.
On November 81 there will be an
other total eclipse of the moon OF
even longer duration than that OF
last week. 1t comes, however, after
midnight A slight and scarcely visi-
BILE eclipse of the sun is scheduled fol
June II, just before sunset.
During the latter part of the veal
Halley's comet is expected to make
its appearance, visible from this sec
ton. 1t comes every IS or 76 year:
and in its passage, wakes and wanes
1t is traced back more than 200 year:
and during several weeks of its fiigh
presents grand spectacle.
