ECLIPSE OF THE SUN.
D. FREpERIc J. HAsKIN.

This afternoon the first eclipse OF the
sun for the year 1903 viii occur. Il viii
not be the great Astronomical event that
some eclipses have been, since Il viii be
only partial. except in the arctic regions.
There Il win first take the form Of an
annular eclipse; that is. the moon win

tiaL Below that line II VIII be invisible.
Perhaps the most remarkable fact con-
nected with eclipses IS that astronomers
can predict them with an accuracy down
10 the very minute and for centuries
ahead. yet the state Of the clouds cannot
be foretold even a single day. This has
expeditions % go avry. and the arrange
ments OF months and the expenditure OF
thousands of dollars 70 go for naught.
Periods OF total eclipse OF the sun are
great events IN the lives Of those who
wish 10 fathOm the secrets OF that great
luminary. There are about seventy total
eclipses OF the sun in a century. and their
aggre gate periods Of totality amount 70
bit little more than three hours
Eclipse observations are less than a
century old. In ancient times astrOn0-
mers were not able 10 predict eclipses-
At Rome II was a crime 20 talk about
their being due 10 natural causes; they
were believed 20 be without the order OF
nature, and 10 presage some dire event
secret OF eclipses the people at large
refused 20 believe H. Il Is said that
Thales was able 10 bring about the peace
between the Medes and the Lydians by
predicting an eclipse. and that Columbus
impressed his heavenly descent on the
Jamaicans by showing them that he
could tell when an eclipse would occur
In justice 70 him IL is 70 be said that
ne made such q claim IN order 70 get
food for his men. The reason ths.t
astronomers were so slow in learning
how 10 predict eclipses and 10 explain
them was that while they occurred with
regularity they occurred az different
places on the earth. thus effectualiy hid
/ ing from the astronomers the regularity
Of their occurrence
