THE SUN.

THE eclipse of the sun that was Wit
messed on Thursday, June II, was one
or the remarkable astronomical events
OF the year. 1t began in Western ST.
IBERIA as an annular eclipse Then,
rs its path neared the Arctic circle 1t
became total and when 1t reached
Greenland 1t again became annular.
Many total eclipses and many annuiar
have been recorded. but the unprece-
denied feature of this eclipse was the
fact that 1t began as an annutar, pres
emily became total and then changed
to the annnlar phase again before r END end
ing its singular career
An annular eclipse is so called be-
cause Of the bright ring that surrounds
the dark shadow. The lunar shadow is
cone-shaped and a little more than
the average distance of the moon from
eclipse occurs when the moon Is In
apogee, that Is, Wheni it is in that part
Of its orbit which is farthest from the
earth, and when, consequently, the
apex Of its shadow does not quite
reach the eartr's surface, it's apparent
diameter is slightly less than that OF
the sun, aud there is a bright ring all
around the authenticated surface OF
the moon, hence the designation "an-
nular. sd
Astronomy owes a great deal to solar
eclipses. Without this occa sional draw
ing OF a yeil over he face Of the heav-
emily luminaly humane eye could not
have endured its glory. 1t was during
an eclipse that the so-called promi-
nences, consisting Of masses OF glowing
vapor, were first discovered, The halo
of glory known as the corona, with it's
radiations into space, has been studied
$ninutely during eclipses Another OBJ
serpation is that there is a border Of
three or four thousand miles deep,
called the chromosphere. Il Through
later scientific aids certain solar pheno-
mena can now be studied at any time,
but only comparatively short time
ago, the few moments when the moon
passes between us and the sun We're
tho only time for their observation,
Very little is known of any of the
heavenly bodies in space, hut enough is
known to warrant the conclusion that
our earth is but part of one great sys-
tenn of worlds of which one is not
essentially different from another, The
moon is in all probability dead little
world, while the sun is still in state
OF fusion The probability is that it
viii pass through the various stages Of
solidity and temperature in which the
planets now are. until It becomes dark
and dead waiting for remodeltng at the
hands OF the Creator.
The sun is now losing heat, through
radiation, at q tremendous rate. For
ages and ages 1t will endure this loss,
but the time must finally come when
the sun will cool down. A solid crust
will form. In the beginning it will be
thin and again and again it will burst
by gases and streams of lava will flow
over II; But, by and by these dis
charges will cease. VOLCANOES will rise
here and there through which gases
| will escape, and water yapor and some
carbonc acid will be liberated.
Water will be condensed. There. Will
be oceans. But unless the Creator
