Phenomena.

A few minutes before o'clock
this evening the moon will be in to-
tai eclipse and will remain in that
condition for about an hour. As
tronCmers will find much of interest
in this eclipse. as it comes at a time
when the moon is nearest the earth.
On this account the moon is of MAXI
mum size, exceeding that of the sun.
The time of totality is somewhat
shorter than usual, being less than
an hour. The path of the moon
through the shadow will be in a
northeasterly direction. The lower
left hand part of the moons edge
will first show the darkening shadow
of the eclipse and the right hand
part will be the last to resume its
brightness at the conclusion of the
phenomenon. Where weather Condi-
tions are favorable, the eclipse will
be the most conspicuous and inter-
esting witnessed in years.
