ECLIPSE OF THE sun;
some FACTS ABOUT IT

The eclipse of the sun on August
Il next-total in ptrt of Europe
and Asia and partial in northeast
ern America-is attracting the
widespread attention of astron.
omers and scientists, various ex-
petitions being arranged to witness
this phenomenon. In view of the
public interest Prof. C. G. Abbott,
head of the astronomical branch of
the Smithsonian Institution, and q
recognized authority OIL solar
phenomena, gives the following
opulsr account of the eclipse, and
the scientific results sought from
such events.
On August 81, 1914, the moon
Will pass exactly between the earth
and the sun, and tn re would be a
total solar eclipse at sunrise in tie
northern States of Canada, but in
Persia. Russia and Scandinavia the
full effect will be seen.
Although the moon locks about
the same size of the sun, it is very
much smaller and nearer. The
sun is 365. 900 miles in diameter
and $4,000, 900 miles away, while
the moon is 2l63 miles in diameter
and 239, 900 miles away. On &C.
count Of the moons small size COM
pared with the SUI the shadow cast
by the moon is a cone, and the point
of this cone just barely reaches the
earth.
In the August eclipse the diam
eter Of the zone at the earth's sur
face is only about 81 miles so that
the eclipse is visible as total only
in a belt about 81 miles wide
stretching over the countries named
above. The important cities of
Bitlis, Trebizond, Kief, Minsk end
Riga lie near the center of this
helt. II passes about 100 miles
north OF Stockholm and TEondheim.
The eclipse will be seen as partial
over a very wide area, including
northeastern America, Greenland,
Europe, half of Asia and half Of
Africa. Within this region only a
portion Of the SUMS disk will he
hidden by the moon.
Wherever the solar eclipse is
seen as total, the sky will become
nearly do dark as full moonlight,
and a few of the brighter stars and
planets may be seen. The duration
Of the totslity is longest near Kief
in Russia, where it is 2 minutes
and 13 seconds. Sometimes the
moon and sun occupy such posi-
tions that although the moon passes
directly between the earth and the
sun the shadow on some does not
quite reach the earth. Such solar
eclipses are called "annular" and
are nov here total eclipses. In the

More than 5000 missionaries of both
sexes from the United States, and 49,
600 native converts acting as mission
aries, are teaching the Christian faith
throughout the world. They have con-
verted 100000 men, women and chill
dren in all lands, and are bringing u.s.
900 more into the fold every year. Over
100000 are learning the ways of
Christianity in the 10000 colleges, the
illogical seminaries, training and Sun
day schools that have been estab-
lished by American missionaries. The
modern missionary is not only a spir-
itual adviser, but undertakes to cure
physical ills as well. In the 600 hospi-
tails and free dispensaries established
in foreign lands, 1t is estimated that
3,000,000,000 treatments have been
given by the 400 male and female doc
tors making up the Foreign Mission
airy Medical staff. In times of famine
they distribute huge sums of money.
The expenses of this vast campaign
are enormous; but no country is as
liberal as the United States. Last
year the American people contributed
nearly ST. 100000 to promote the work
while all nations are spending about
$3S,0OO,O0O to support their 24,O0C
, Christian and 10000 native mission
aries who have gathered over 5000,
900 adherents in the faith.

TIMELY WARNING
TO CALOMEL USERS

Any physician will tell you that
mercury, if it remains in the body,
will in time soften and rot the bones.
Doctors call this necrosis of the
bones. Calomel is form of mercury,
and to keep out of danger it's a safe
plan to take no calomel at all, espe-
cially as there is a better remedy.
Both children and grown people will
find a perfect remedy to take the
place of calomel in Dodson's Liver
Tone, a pleasant, vegetable liquid that
starts the liver to act and which never
I has any bad after-effects.
Dodson's Liver Tone will do all the
good that calomel does without any OF
| the dangers of calomel. You feel fine
the next day after taking Dodson's
Liver Tone; you can eat anything yor
want and are ready for your daily
work or pleasure with joyous goot
feeling. A large bottle is sold for only
fifty cents by Fields Co., Inc, who
will cheerfully refund your money i
you are not satisfied.

THEN and NOW
(By Associated Press.)

One hundred and eight years ago
today the first step was taken toward
establishing the foreign missionary
movement. On this day five students
of Williams College gathered in a
grove near the college to hold an open
air meeting. The day was hot and
oppressive. In the midst of the meet
ing a lighting bolt flashed across the
sky, announcing the approach of a
thunderstorm. Hurriedly collecting
their belongings, the students sought
shelter beneath a neighboring hay
stack. Here they continued their dis
cussions while the storm ragged.
Shouting to make himself understood
above the thunder, the young leader,
Samuel j. Mills, proposed that they
organize Ito spread the Gospel among
the heathen." That was the first step.
Two years later Mills organized the
Society of Brethren" requiring each
of the five members thereof to solemn
ly dedicate his life as a missionary
Public opinion begging against mis-.
sions, the organization was kept secret
and its constitution was drawn up in
cipher. Six years had passed since

sionaries, four of whom were accom-
panied by their wives, sailed from

WOMEN WEAR TAILS;
ARE PROUD OF THEM
STRANGE PEOPLE OF NORTHERN
NIGERIA DESCRIBED BY
POLICE OFFICER.

Washington, July 2S.-In the remote
part of northern Nigeria, not yet I'M
der the complete control of the Brit
ish, there dwell people whose women
wear tails and are proud of them, ac-
cording to a statement issued by the
National Geographic Society, at Wash
ington, D. c., today. The statement is
based on the investigations of Major
A. j. N Tremearne, who has served in
Nigeria both as a police and political
officer.
True it is that these tails are not of
flesh and blood, but none the less they
play an important part in the social
life of the people, for they are the
outward and visible sign of the matron-
ly dignity" says the society. when
woman of the Kangoro, Kali, or of
four other neighboring tribes-the At
lakka, Morva, Katab, or the Jaba-be-
comes a bride, she put off forever the
simple girdle of twisted grass that, up
to that moment, has been her sole
adornment, and assumes the apron of
leaves and the tremendously signifi-
cant tail, or kunnok, as it is called.
"In each of the tribes, the kunnock
varies in form, sometimes long and
thin, at others short, mushroom-like
and stumpy, or shaped like long
bell. These tails are made of palm
fiber, plated or bound together with
string and usually stained with a red
earth, which is also used for the
further adornment of the lady's body.
Often the kunnok is worn quite plain,
but the more ambitious modes pre-
scribe an establishment of brass wire
and colored glass beads. The Kangoor
women are distinguished by the Quak'
er-like simplicity of their attire; they
wear the shortest and plainest of tails,
few beads around the neck, and per-
haps a really fashionable lady will
add a bracelet or leglet of beads; but
the kunnok itself remains in all its
native severity
1.-The ladies of the Kajji tribe, how
ever, attest a greater elegance; their
tails are of greater length, the
'stumps' being covered with intricate
designs worked in brass and copper
wire. while the wheel-shaped terminal
is gay with colored beads set in bed
of LIQUID rubber, of which there is a
great deal in the country. In this tribe
the kunnok is generally worn over
bunch of leaves or grass similar tc
that which the ladies of all the tribes
depend from their girdles in front
Sometimes a Kali matron was desires
to be a leader in the fashionable worlo
will wear a tiny iron bell just above
the tail, but this is of rare occurrence
/ and the bell is not often seen.
