THE ECLIPSE OF THE Sun.

THE ECLIPSE OF THE sun
OF the four cclipses of the year 1911
the first to occur will be an eclipse of
the sun on the evening of Feb. "a the
eclipse beginning at 4 hours. 46 min
utes = NJ. and ending at 9 hours. Il
minutes Z. NJ eastern standard time
This eclipse is a very unimpOrtant
one. partly because the moon at this
time is so far from the earth that on
account of its small apparent size il
will not entirely hide the sun, and
partly because the eclipse will only
be visible from extreme southern
parts of the earth.
THE PLANETS IN FEBRUARY
spicuous objects in the evening hcav-
ems throughout the month. The for
mer planet is rapidly receding from the
earth; its distance increases from &c
to SIS millions of miles during Febru-
airy, and in consequence of this it is
continually growing fainter. BY thu
end of the month il will be but one
third as bright as it was at the time of
its closest approach in January, but
even at that time it will still shine
with 2l2 times the brightness of a
first-magnitude star For many weeks
the red planet has been much more
brilliant than the nearby Saturn. but
by the end of February they will APP
pear to be of almost exactly equal
brightness, by next June Mars will
appear but one-siXth as bright as the
larger world.
Both planets are in excellent posi-
ton for observation. Mars moves
very slowly westward in Gemini I'M

ter stars. But the fainter groups can
only be studied to advantage when the
observer is away from all city or 9TH
er artificial lights and when the moon
is not in the sky.
The possessor of a small telescope
will find a great number of most in
terestng objects for study among the
winter stars.
The most recent measures indicate
that the great nebula of Andromedaa is
approaching us with the remarkable
velocity of but little less than
200 miles second This rap
id drift of so vast a cloud through
the depths of space suggests a
reasC"ahie cNplaIalion Of the caus
OF mo It. s,ar which sadden,} ap-
peared near the nucleus of the nebula
in the year 1859. 1t seems not i'm
probable that this sudden appearance
may have been caused by the collision
of the nebula with a dark sun; the
friction and bombardment to which
this was subjected as il plowed
through the great cloud would have
raised it to an intense brillance 50
that it would appear to us as new
star.

The Best Work
Ever Accomplished

WASIltNGTON, Jan. 5.-"The
best work ever accomplished Is the
way Secretary Lane sizes up the
surveying work performed by the
general land office in 1913. lie
made thi, brief laudatory remark al
ter receiving the report today OF
Commissioner Tallman OF the land
office on the survey operations "t
the bureau during the year.
Secretary Lane declares that the
season, work demonstrates CON
clusivcly the success, of the direct
system OF surveys by the govern
n,ent rather than by competitive con-
tract. Not only is the actual work
itself materially less expensive, the
secretary says, but the results are
more satisfactory
During the year about l4,Zoo,oN
acres of the public domain were sur
vcyed at cost approximately So
cents an acre for field work. Most
Of this surveyed area lie, west OF
the lO5th meridian Of west longi-
tudc and includes Alaska, but sur
vcy, and re>urvcys have also been
made in Nebraska, South Dakota,

Anxious to Go
to Sanitarium

W. p Ball, of Goldfeld, was an
arrival in Carson this morning and
will appear before the Industrial In
surance commission at an early
date relative to injuries he received
i'll the Mohawk mine at Goldheld in
October last. While working in one

rock fcll on Mr. Ball entirely COW
ering him up.
He was later taken to the hospi-
tai, where it was ascertained he was
suffering from two dislocations OF
the spine. One of these has since
healed, but the other caused a COM
plete paralysis of the lower limbs,
from which he is still suffering. Mr..
Balls claims have been allowed by
the Industrial commission, but it is
to determine whether he shall re-
ceive weekly benefits or a lump
sum that he now goes before the
board. Ii he receives the money in
lump 1t is his idea to go to the
Mayo brothers famous sanatarium,
at Rochester, Mimi, in the hope that
bis paralysis may be cured.

Fuel Prices Go Up
In Riverside Town

With the beginning OF the new
year coal and wood in Reno have
climbed a notch i'll price. All deal
crs. about a dozen in number. III
the city have agreed to maintain the
new schedule. and it said there Is
no likelihood at this time OF another
rise i'll price. 1t was a question of
tne old prices leaving too small 4
margin, rather than shortage, one
dealer explains.
Coal, which has been selling at $40
a ton, has gone up to Sll a ton. Slab
wood. which has been quoted at
$3.50 load, has gone up to $4 a
load. and mill blocks. which were
50 load, have gone up to $3.50 a
load. Limb wood has been inCrea>-
ed from 81 to $3.50 a load.
Real fuel-burning weather is yet to
arrive thi, winter in Reno. SO that
the change i'll prices may be felt
