FIRST RECORDED ECLIPSE.
Chinese Astro nomers Were Punished
 For Not Predicting 1t.

| l For Not Predicting 1t.
 Messrs. Hirayama and Ogura have published fin the proceedings of the | Tokyo Mathematico-physical society the results of their attempts to fix the dates of some early eclipses recorded in Chinese literature.
 The earliest is mentioned in one of the books of the Shu Ching, where it is recorded that fin the region of Chung K'ang, the fourth emperor of the Hsia dynasty, there occurred an eclipse of the sun which had not been predicted by the astronomers, who were alleged to have been drunk and to have neglected their duties. Hence the GUS tomary rires for delivering the sun, which should have been arranged in advance and superintended by the as- tronomers, were in the emergency per formed by other officials without proper preparation. The emperor ac- cordingly ordered the army to punish the astronomers.
 A later document makes it possible to fix the date of this event as Oct. 13, 2127 B. c. Uullan calendar)-the earli- est recorded eclipse in the world. Cal culatlon shows that there actually was n solar eclipse on that date, but prob ably not in China, though the clements of the motions of the sun and moon are not accurate enough to indicate certainly the path of so remote an eclipse. The authors are inclined to think that the information fixing the date of the eclipse is due to Chinese astronomers of later age, who cal culated that an eclipse occurred on that date and erroneously supposed that 1t was visible in China.

"Hatikovh," Hymn of Zionists, and Its History

proud Dutch descendants Of the Jews
Of the Iberian peninsula had very lit

brothers. But whatever may be the
remote history Of the melody. the his
tory Of 10 for the last century is ex-
actly as | have given it to you above
In addition 20 "Hatikvoh," which is
generally recognized as the national
anthem, there are several others Of
similar nature which have been writ

Of the national spirit in Jewry. Very
respectfully, NELLIE STRAUSS.
New York, Aug. 81. 1915.
As may have been gathered from the
above letter, "Hatikvoh" is become the
official hymn Of the Zionists, and il has
been published, evidently for propa-
gandst purposes, by young Judea"
in this city. DR.. Pools contribution
to the history of the melody to which
IT has been set is interesting. but the
reverend gentleman seems to have
been needlessly cautious in discussing
its origin and antiquity. As it stands,
1t has been obviously sophisticated to
the loss of original intervallie char
acteristics and the acquisition of a
modern rhythmical structure. But it
IS unquestlonably an old, possibly an
extremely old, Hebrew melody. The
fact that 1t may now be used for a
folksong does not preclude the thought
that IT may once have been syna-
gogal chant in the East as il now IS in
the West, nor would il initiate against
its Hebrew character if il we're found
TO exist among the secular folksongs
Of Russia, Poland or Rumania, which
have long been subject to Jewish in
fuences. Structurally. both in scale
and metre, It has lost its Orientalism.
and this loss IL shares with the bulk
Of Sephardic hymns.
am acquainted with the collection
OF hymns made by the Rev. DR.. Pools
great grandfather. and long ago OBJ
served that the melodies in II have
been hopelessly Occidentalized. SO
have many tunes IN the great collec-
ton "Schir Zion" made BY DR.. Solo
mon Sulzer for the great synagogue
In Vienna. The process has been
natural one, perhaps, but II is none
the less deplorable on that account,
and IL has thrown investigators and
students upon the survivals of the old
synagogal chants of the Eastern Jews
OF strict orthodoxy, for relics Of the
authentic national music Of Jewry. 1t
Is also deplorsble, as my correspondent
pointed out in paragraph in her let
ter which ! choose 10 consider per-
sonal, that lmber'S poem has been but
imperfectly and faulty rendered into
English. The persistent use Of will"
for shall" and its hating feet are
vexatious blemish. The melody is
beautiful one, and / am haunted by
"reminiscences Of II heard in artistic
music which | cannot at this moment
identify.
