Something About the Com.
ing Lunar Eclipse.

Local astronomers are greatly |
interested in the coming total |
eclipse of the moon, which oc-
ours on the evening of Thurs.
day June, 8. The phenomena
may be observed all over the
continent if the sky is clear.
In this section the rise
OF the moon will be almost
normal and the people may
watch the shadow of the earth
gradually steal over the lunar
body. But further in the CONT
1ieht, probably on the other side
.''of the Mississippi, the inhabi
tsnts will first see an odd
looking disc of a faint reddish
color rise from the east.
When the moon rises here
only a narrow portion of it will
be observed. Gradually it will
enter deeper and deeper into
the earth's shadow until the
moon gives no light and is bare
lyperceptible.
This year the moon does not
enter into the heart OF the earth's
shadow, so there will not be a
black eclipse. The moon how.
ever, will be in the shadow of
the earth for over an hour and
practically the only light from
the heavens will be that of the
stars.
The reason why the moon will
be invisible is the influence OF
the earth's atmosphere, which
bends the SUMS rays at the edges
of illuminated hemispheres of
our planet and throws on the
moon faint glow, generally of a
red copper hue. 1t results from
the absorption in our atmosphere
OF the green, blue and violet
rays in the sums light while the
red rays pass through it. 1t is
much the samc as the sunset
glow, though infinitely more
faint.
As the phenomenon of the
eclipse develops, the childre
will be able TO see for themselves
the truth OF The statement they
learned from their Biographies. l
An eclipse of the sun will be
witnessed fortnight later, on
Thursday, June II, shortly be-
tore sunset. The only effect
that it will have is to send the
chickens to roost an hour or two
earlier.
The lunar eclipse is precisely
the same as that which saved /
the lives of Columbus and his
party in the isle of Jamaica in
the year 1904. The natives re-
fused them food. Columbus.
knowing that the eclipse was
due, told them tk God was an
cry because of then inhospitali.
ty and would take away the
light of the moon. The moment |
that the natives saw the light
gong they rushed TO their store.
houses ana brought out their
choicest viands, supplicating the
white angels" to bring back
their moon. Columbus handed
1t back in about an hour.
The earliest account OF an
eclipse was discovered in the
tomb of Chinese emperor. The
date has been fixed by chrono-
logists as January 20. 1876 b. G.
