SEEMED LIKE THE SAME

It was a new railway and the trains
were slow-oh, very slow! On one
occasion the engineer of one of them
found his progress still further re-
tarded by COWS which trespassed on
the line, necessitating the stopping Of
the train while he drove them off.
When this has happened for the
third time in half an hour a bored
and weary passenger put his head
out of the window and addressed the
engineer:
do you really mean to say" he
inquired gently, that we've caught
up to that cow again."

MOON IN ECLIPSE
Heavenly Body Hides Behind q
Shadow This Evening.
Washburn Observatory Will Be
Open to the Public.

A near total eclise Of the moon will
be visible in Topeka from until $3.50
O'Clock tonight, according to Prof. H.
I. Woods, head of the department Of
astronomy and physics in Washburn
college. Although Professor Woods
does not recommend it. the weather
man promises a pretty evening for the
event. and hundreds of Topeka moon
gazers OF the sweetheart stage are
advised of the perfectly legitimate ex-
cuse for a stroll in the luminary rays.
Persons who are technically and sin
cerely interested in the eclipse OF the
moon az seen through q powerful tel
escOpe may visit the Washburn obaer-
vatory where Professor Woods two
assistants, Laurens Whittemore and
James Horton will explain the obser-
vattons.
The moons eclipse tonight is Wis
ible from all points in Western
Europe, North and South America
and Western Africa. Astronomers
from all parts of the world are pre-
pairing to take advantage of the Op-
pOrtunity for special observations dur
ing the eclipse. The moon is due to
enter the shadow beginning at about
o'clock in Topeka and lasting until
about $3.50 o'clock. The central part
Of the eclipse will be seen at about
$40 o'clock, according to Information
cal headquarters. The moon will be
about nine-tenths in a shadow at the
central period.
Now about that moon. 1t is a heav-
emily body next in conspicuousness to
the sun. 1t is the satellite Of the
earth revolving about the latter from
west to east in q little less than a
calendar month and accompanying 1t
in the annual revolution about the
sun.
The moons diameter is 2,162 miles,
it is about $4,000 miles from the
earth. its mass Is about One-eightieth
that of the earth and the volume
about one-forty-ninth. The moon ro-
tates while revolving thereby present
ing nearly always the same bright
face to the earth. One-half the sur
face, therefore, is never seen from
the earth.
No atmosphere. water or sign of
life has been detected upon the moon
by American or world wide observers.
On her surface appear many depres-
sions resembling volcanic craters
The eclipse is caused by the moon
entering the earth's shadow from the
sun.

SKY CLEAR AS 4 BELL.
But Penetrating North Wind Is
Holding Temperature Down.

The sky is as clear as a belP' to-
day. but a penetrating north wind is
holding the temperature down to
eight degrees below normal for March
IL. The snow that was slated for
Tuesday night or today failed to ar
rive. Generally fair weather is booked
for tonight and Thursday with very
little change in temperature.
Hundreds of Topekans will doubt
less looR for the near-total eclipse of
the moon this evening. The first
faint shadow will appear at 7:41
o'clock and the black shadow at 7:42.
The middle of the eclipse will be at
1913 o'clock, says Sunny" Flora, the
local weather observer.
According to Mr.. Flora, the wealth
er which has been experienced in the
last week is exceedingly favorable for
the farmers and fruit growers. 1t is
holding back the buds. so that there
is not SO much danger of damage by
low temperature later in the season.
Spring proper will be ushered in at
S o'clock, March Fl. The sun today
rose at 6:41 o'clock and will set at
6:26 O'Clock. The day will be one
and one-half hours longer than the
shortest day in December. The nor
NAL minimum temperature for this
date is 20 degrees: today the mimi
mum was "a. at { O'Clock.

ON A new MOVE
Badders' Attorneys Would
Block SlOnecker Hearing.
Creditors Claim That II Is .
Play for Delay.

Attorneys for George 8. Badders
Friday morning will ask the United
States circuit court of appeals for 4
supersedeas bond and an order staying
further action in the Badders COM
pany bankruptcy case pending final
action on the appeal. The move which
was made today will II approved block
the hearing before Judge S1onecker
next week and prevent the sale of the
Badders clothing stock ana distribu-
ton OF funds among creditors.
w. s. McClintock. representing
Badders company creditors, stated
today that the creditors would fight
the Badders company motion to BE-
heard In st. Louis at 10 o'clock Fri
day morning. The creditors charge
that the latest move Of the Topeka
merchant merely seeks to delay Anal
settlement of the state and for that
reason will contest the granting Of q
supersedeas bond and any order that
tends to delay further proceedings
If bond Is granted" said Nc
Clintock today, 'the creditors will ask
that it be made at least 100000 in
order that all creditors may be pro-
tected and court costs fully insured"
But attorneys for Badders will Op-
pose a bond for such an amount. They
state that Badders il willing to give a
reasonable bond pending final action
in the bankruptcy case. Both sides,
however, will ask to be heard when
the court makes final decision a. to
the amount Of bond, providing an APP
peal to the circuit court is granted.
