own hair is slated for today at the
National Electrician convention. Felix
Brown, OF Chicago. the inventor of the
apparatus. confesses he is not too
sGro~lne as 70 the general usage into
which the self-cuttirg hair machine
may come, but rather contrived the
device fer his own amusement and to
Illustrate the extent to which cleo
tricity may be applied.
Already there is the electric mas
sage, and the electric razor, which re-
quires no motion of the hand, but sim
ply buzzes all the beard off a man
who is inclined to take his ease about
shaving.
The hair clipper is attached to a
wire the other end of which can be
fitted into the socket Of an electric
lamp. and then operated at a fast or
slow speed according to the wishes of

UNCLE SAM REPRESENTED.
American manufacturers Have Exten
sive Exhibits at Argentine
Show.

BUENOS AYRES, June 3.-Many
American manufactures of agricultur-
al show, opened today by the Rural
Society of Argentia. English, German
and French concerns have also made
extensive displays. Implements of Ger
man make are most largely used in

mitted that the American manufac-
turers are superior and they are grad
ually replacing the inferior German
tools on the big farms and ranches.
Foreign horses and cattle are also
shown in competition with those OF
Argentina. This country is rapidly
forging to the front as a producer of
live stock and the exhibitions at the
present show illustrates the vast
strides that have recently been made
in improving the breeds by the adop-
ton of American breeding methods.
The exposition is being held under
the auspices Of the government, and is
preliminary to the great international
commercial and transportation EXPOSE
ton to be held next year, the centen-
NAL of Argentine independence.

IS NOT
VISIBLE TONIGHT

earth for over an hour and practically
the only light from the heavens will
be that of the stars.
The reason why the moon VIII be
invisible is the influence of the earth S
atmosphere, which bends the suns
rays at the edges of illuminated hemis-
pheres of our planet and throws on
the moon a 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 suns
light while the red rays pass through
it. 1t is much the same as the sunset
glow, though infinitely more faint.
As the phenomenon of the eclipse
develops, the children will be able to
see for themselves the truth of the
statement they larnd from thir geog-
raphies.
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
refused them food Columbus. knowing
that an eclipse was due, told them that
God was angry because Of their in
hospitality and would take away the
light of the moon. The moment that
the natives saw the light going, they
rushed to their stOre-houses and
brought out their choicest viands, sup
plicating the white angels to bring
back their moon Columbus handed it
back in about an hour.
The earliest account of an eclipse
was discovered in the tomb of Chi
nese emperor. The date has been
fixed by chronologists as January 20,

WASHINGTON ASTRONOMER
PREPARED TO MAKE ADE-
ouATE OBSERVATION.
But 1t Will Take Place In Western
States Before Lunar Body
Rises and Cannot be Seen.

WASHINGTON, June 3.-Washing-
ton astronomers today made prepare
tions for an adequate observation of
the eclipse this evening. The phe-
nomena will be visible all over the
North American continent, except in
the extreme northwestern portion, and
also in South America and Europe
The total eclipse will begin in Bos-
ton at S:13, in New York at So, in
Wasi ineton at 7:49; in Charleston at
1923 in Cincinnati at 1920, in Chicago
at TT, and at points further west be-
fore the moon rises. In ST. Louis the
total eclipse will end at 1853. In Den
yer and Ogden the moon will leave the
shadow at S:14 and 7:46 respectively
In the eastern states 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 continent, on
the other side of the Mississippi, the
inhabitants will first see an-odd looking
disc of 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 only
barely perceptible.
The moon will not enter into the
heart of the earths shadow, so there
will not be black eclipse. The moon,
however, will be in the shadow of the
