THE TYPHOID FIN.

1t is pointed out in the bulletin
that it is not beyond the bounds OF
possibility to abolish the mosquito
entirely the prime prerequisites to
such an undertaking being the par
ticipation Of every man. woman and

important fact says the paper,

Interesting Phenomenon VIII Be OBJ

A total eclipse of the sun will take
place Friday afternoon which will
prove an interesting phenomenon oc-
curing at an hour when with fair
weather conditions, it will be gener-
ally seen. Occurring as it does just
before sundown, the whole progress
Of the eclipse can not be watched
from this section OF the United
State, because of the setting Of the
sun before the shadow passes OF;
but there will mple time to see
the effect of the total shutting off OF
the suns light.
There will be greater degree OF
darkness probabl; than at any other
time of the day because of the near
ness of the sun to the horizon, and
the consequent, lessening of the sun S
rays in the air. The refraction will
not be so great, and it will be night
time in the day. The chickens will

The eclipse will be visible in a
large portion of the United States.
The sun will set eclipsed east Of a
line drawn from Pittsburg to Mata-
gorda Bay, Texas. Washington is at
the northern Atlantic boundary of the
area of visibility. The eclipse will
be invisible north of line drawn
from Portland, Ore, through Mil
waukee and Pittsburg to Washington.
The eclipse will be very small in the
Western and Middle States. At San
Diego less than one-half of the suns
