2Si Il inst. is generally KNOWN. Inc
almanac tells us there will be two
ecl.psGs OF the sun this year, oce on
Arin 2Sth, and the other On October

America. The former will be al ou-
iect Il interest in this country gen
ara,l. 1t will be invisible in New
York and New England, hLt vsihie
as 4 partial eclipse over THAI portion
of the United States lying south OF
A line drawn througa Cape IIenlopaa
Pittshurg, Toledo. Racine, Prairie pt
Chinn, Fort sully, GallaGn City and
Astoria
The path Of the total eclipse which
is very large one, lies wholly in
the acific Ocean. The greatest du-
ration of totally will be minutes
81 seconds.
AT ST, Louis it will begin at j:35 p
m. and end at G:32 p, m.
The following interesting story con-
corning the event is sent TO the Bul-
letin by L. NJ Williams, igstice OF
the peace OF Carbonate. who seems
ta have made study OF lis coming
ard going and of its probable effects.
IT -lember the day Of the eclipse
If the gun on April 2Stn, 1911, al
-. TO GAS y. NJ. 1t viii be day
that viii be long remembered. If 70,
by the general public it viii be re-
membered by astronomers and will
be upon their records together with
other events tlat will occur. Time
and space wculd fail me to speak OF
Il the ecllpsos even since the cruei-
ixion of Jesus Christ up TO this com,
ing dark day or evening OF April 2S.
We viii speak of only one. The
great eclipse in England 259 years
ago, on April 18th, 1862.
"Besiass tie eehpse of tie sun,

planetary conjunction. The planet
Saturn will be between the moor

We can by the use OF a smoked glass
see the star as a spot on the sun Of
1ear the sun before the eclipse. Fot
three days before and three days al
.er the eclipse there will be taTres
tial disturbances and viii cause
much heavy electrical storms with
Winds from a western and nortnwes

this coming storm period
from the position respecting the
noon with the morning and evening
stars and With the earth during the
last week in this month OF April,
When l can see and locate these
named planets at the above date 1t
creates within me a desire to pro-
claim unto the non-observers that
they will do we'll to be on their
guard
"On the evening of the eclipse we
see Mercury and Venus as evening
stars. They will be two and three
hours above or behind the sun. Mars
and Uranus as morning stars will be
two and four hours ahead of the sun.
Saturn will be between the moon and
the sun or near the sun. Jupiter
will be ON the opposite side of the
earth from the srn. Neptune will
3e six hours behind the sun.
When can observe by watchfu
calculation and can see the position
Of these planets, | can but say as

'yei according 10 the position Q

',.hen we can see that the sun
The planet Saturn, the moon, the
earth and the planet jupiter will be
on complete line with each other
at the time Of the total eclipse OF
the sun. We may expect during this
pegioa clouds and windy days and
nlghts. On the evening of the eclipse,
iJis likely to be cloudy with storms,
a dark day.
There are twenty.four other stars
Of astronomical names that will be
entertained in this planetary con.
junction Their names are not men

will be greatly disturbed at this per-

siderable earthquake. Therefore, we
only suggest and not command, that
all ltrainmen be on their guard and
have their lights ready by O'Clock
p. M. on the above date, and we
suggest to all people 10 do likewise.
