lost their heads, In consequence of in
toxication and their resulting failure
to predict the eclipse and MAKE the
customary preparations for it.
The earliest recorded eclipse of the
moon, according to Professor S. M.
Russell, took place OIL January 90,
1876 B. c., and it was total. The ac-
count of this is found in a book sale
to have been discovered in 2SO A. D.,
in the tombs of a Chinese emperor,
who died many centuries earlier.
Some allowance, of course, must be
made for the dates given in these stor-
les, but there can be nc mistake in the
date of an ancient eclipse, as obtained
by astronomical computation. The
day and hour of a past eclipse can be
determined as accurately as the time
of a future eclipse, hi doubtful
dates in history nave often been fixed
in this way through chance references
to eclipseS in connection with the ev-
ents in question.
For example, both Plutarch and PHI
ny state hat there was an eclipse of
the moon eleven days before Alexan-
der defeated Darius at Arbela. Cal
culations show that on September 20,
331 b. C., there was a total eclipse
of the oon the middle of totality oc-
curing about SIS p. m. Hence the
battle of Arbela must nave been
fought On October l of that year.
According to Chambers, on April
3, A. D. 33, the date generally given
as that of the Crucifxion, there was
a lunar eclipse, the moon rising at
Jerusalem just after the disappear
ance of the dark shadow, but with it's
brilliancy Silly obscured by the pen
umbra," or gradual dimness which
proceeds and follows the passage Of
the noon through the true shadow.
On April 16, 6S3 says Anastasius,
the moon, eclipsed, appeared blood
red during most of he night,
Christopher Columbus once turned
a lunar eclipse to his own advantage.
While he was in Jamaica, the natives
placed him in great distress by refus-
ing to supply o to his party. Know
ing that an eclipse of the noon was
soon to take place-March 1, 1904, is
the probable date-Columbus told the
Jamaicans that his God was angry
with them for their rebellion, and
would punish them by taking away
the light of the oon
On the appointed might the full
moon rose as usual. But presently
the dark shadow crept over it from its
eastern limb until the moon was COM
pletely covered. With cries of terror
the frightened natives came to the
explorer and begged him to intercede
for them. promising him everything
he desired, and bringing an Immediate

moo during an eclipse may be re-
garded as the sunset glow" Of the
earth cast upon its distant satellite.
Visible PROOF that the earth is round
will be afforded to every one by the
coming eclipse; for our shadow, cast
upon the fact of the noon, will appear
curved, just as o b shadow of a
ball thrown upon a marble.
Two ancient Greek astronomers,
Nautilus and Cleomedes, living o
one thousand five hundred years be-
fore Columbus, mentioned this appear
ance as evidence of the rotundity OF
the earth.
This eclipse is not the only n oc-
curing in June, for there will be a
partial eclipse of the sun on Thursday
June II, just before sunset Amy al
manac will give the time of it's occur
renee at a given place. In looking at
the sun, a piece of glass smoked ov-
er a lamp or candle will be necessary.
There will he another total eclipse
of the moon in the early morning
hours of November 16, and also a par
tial eclipse of the sun on December
IL, visible only in the regions around
the South Pole.
From the earliest times, records of
ec1ipses have come down to us. Per
haps the oldest account is Of a partial
eclipse of the sun, which appears, be-
yond reasonable doubt, to ave rbeen
witnessed in China foul thousand and
forty-ive years ago, on October %,
2136, b. c., during the reign of the
Emperor Chung-K'ang, the fourth of
noiners. Hi and Ho are said to have

advanced very far, while in some
parts of the West the moon will be
entirely covered Then it rises. /.
This eclipse will be caused by the
passage of the moon through he shad
ow of the earth. AS a rule, the moon
in making it's monthly circuit around
the earth, at a nearly uniform dis
lance of two hundred and forty thous-
and miles, passes either above or De-
low the earth's shadow, hut almost ev
cry year there are times when it pass
es through the shadow.
If it enters only the edge of our
shadow, there is a partial eclipse. But
the earth is much larger than h
moon, and its shadow is of correspon-
ding size: SO that the moon can pass
through 1t in such a way as to be com
pletely buried in it o hours at a
time, causing a total eclipse.
This is what will happen In the com
ing eclipse of u satellite, but the
moon will not pass through the e
trail, and deeper, part Of the shad-
ow, and so will probably no be entire
ly lost to view at any time, although
it will appear of du1l-red color, and
will give SO little light that darkness
will prevail for more than an hour,
and the stars will shine as brightly
as on a moonless evening.
Were the moon to pass through the
center of our shadow, there would be
a "b~lack-eclipse" lasting four hours,
in the course of which the moon would
probably disappear entirely from
sight.
That the shadow does not always
render the moon completely invisible
is a TACT due to the influence of the
earth's atmosphere, which bends the
suns rays at the edges of the i1luni-
mated hemisphere of our planet. and
throws upon the noon a faint glow,
generally of a red or copper hue,
owing to the absorption in our at
m~osphere of the green, blue, and vio-
let rays in the suns light, while the
red rays pass through it.
Practically the same thing happens
at sunset, when red predominates in
the western sky, and the refracted
light of the sun causes twilight" to
continue long after the sun has gone
down. 1t fact, the redness of The

lions together, STIMULATING the refer
ence to the Hague Court of all inter-
national differences not capable of so
luton by diplomacy. A treaty of this
order, limited somewhat in scope,
came much nearer adoption at the
Second Hague Conference than is u.s.
ually Known. Thirty-ive of the forty
foul delegations voted for it, and only
five against it, a vote of w to one,
or by the populations of the nations
represented, of more than seven to
one, leaving out of account the foul
powers that abstained from voting and
tacitly CAV. their consent to the pro-
posed convention.
This record made by arbitration is
unsurpassed, probably unparaileled,by
any other chapter *of the history OF
the progress OF civilization during the
last hundred years, and before long
the wise and learned historians, who
have heretofore so largely estimated
history by its feuds n battles and
slaughters, will find it out"
DR.. Trueblood discussed the signif-
canoe of some of the special conven-
tons adopted by the Second Hague
Conference, whoch exclude the war
like operations entirely from certain
fields and make war in general much
more difficult and less likely to occur
at all.
AS to the important work of the
Conferences, the speaker said: 1.-THE
Hague Conference gave us h Perma-
nent International Court of Arbitra-
tion, to which the powers represented
finally became parties by ratification
of the convention. This Court has
now for eight years been in success
full operation, and not less than fou
controversies have been referred to it
during the past rear. The Second
Hague Conference enlarged and siren

gthened the convention under which
this cour was set up, and made the
Court the tribunal, not of b powers
already represented, but of all the ma
ions of the world. Though reference
of disputes to this tribunal is still in
general voluntary, a majority of the
important nations, have already, by
specially treaties with each other in
pairs, pledged themselves to refer all
disputes of a judicial order and those
arising in the Interpretation of treat
les to its jurisdiction. 1t is reason
able to believe, therefore, that we
have arrived at a stage in the deyel-
opment of u movement when there
already exists among the nations a
substitute for war practically, if not
theoretically adequate for the adjust
ment of all their disputes, without re-
sort to force, in a way to conserve the
honor and vital interests of the sep
arate governments.
Another step or still greater mo-
ment was taken by the Second Hague
Conference in the direction of provid-
ing a perfect substitute for force in
the settlement of International differ
enceS. 1t voted without a dissenting
delegation for the principle of an In
ternationa1 Court of ArOitral Justice,
with Judges always in service, and
holding regular sessions" The speak
er said it is safe to assume that the
difficulty in regard to the selection of
the judges will be speedily solved, and
that we shall have in a comparatively
short time the august tribunal which
will render war between the powers
of the world scarcely thinkable. He
continued:
THE high water mark of the work
of the Second HaC11a Cn0fpranNa WAS
reached in its action in regard to fu-
ture meetings of the Conference. The
principle of periodic meetings of the
conference hereafter was approved
without a dissenting voice. The ate
even of the Third Conference was fix
ed and the governments urged to ap-
point at least two years, in advance an
International Commission to prepare
the program of the meeting. This ac-
ton means, If approved by the several
powers, as it undoubtedly will be,

that we are to have hereafter regular
meetings of a world conference. The
powers of the Conference, will at first
be only advisory, but in the very ma
ture of the case its conclusions and
recommendations will he very largely
adopted, an din this way it will
o b YER start, be substantially
a legislative world assembly. Its pow
ers will naturally ROY and be ex-
tended. Here we reach the real po-
sition which the peace movement a

unusually fine opportunity to see a to-

the full moon will rise eclipsed,f the
