ECLIPSE OF sun A FAILURE
Clouds Entered Into a Conspiracy to
Prevent Observation.
There Was TO Have Been Scientific
squint by Persons Capable of
Understanding Phenomenon.

Promptly at the scheduled hour, two
minutes and eight seconds after I O'Clock
last night. the sun hid its face behind
the moon, fiirted for awhile with the
earth, and came out again from its hid
ing. apparently none the worse for its
indiscretion. The whole incident was
known as a partial eclipse Of the sun.
Strange doings on the part Of the heav-
enly bodies have always attracted atten-
ton from the two-legged beings OF this
world. since the cave dweller raped his
bride over the head with heavy stick
with spike IN the end Of II, and dragged
her willy-nilly into the holy state OF
matrimony
Yesterday was no exception, although
the heavy stick with the spike IN the end
OF 1t has given away to q dapper cane

astronomers had tipped or the secret
craned their necks toward the umitiess
vault above for a sign OF the phenome-
non. Jupiter Pluvius. however. was
against them. and marshaled rain
clouds OF SURPRISING density over the
point IN the heavens where the big
show was going TO happen.
The casually curious were not the only
ones he disappointed. Extensive prepara-
tions had been made at the United States
Naval Observatory to take an observation
according 10 the correct principles OF
mathematics and astronomy. but the
squint was called of on account OF clouds
The authorities said, however, II was
doubtful II an observation could have
been taken anyhow, on account Of the
lateness Of the hour
The only point on the earth's surface
where the eclipse was total was az the
north pole. The neighboring precincts
had the call on the rest OF the universe
for a good Iook-in.
To continue along the line OF sour
grapes. the authorities OF Washington say
the eclipse wasn't much OF an eclipse
anyhow. from the astronomical point OF
view. and the fact that II couldn't be
seen won't leave very bad gap In the
almanac. :
