ILL., . TI.unoooo nm 7o,7o, Ecllyse of the Moon to
L NE l1HAUEIOO OIO - IVY Be Great Night Show
By WILLIAM F. R1GGE.

The chief event of the month is the
eclipse of the moon on the night OF
the l4th-15th. The annexed diagram
will tell us all about the particulars.
The largest circle is the earth $
penumbra, and the one next IN size is
the earth's shadow at the place where
the moon crosses them. N, ,, +, w
are the cardinal points, and the dia-
gram must be held so that the line
N S points to the pole star. When
the moon is low. down in the east at
the beginning of the eclipse, the line
N S inclined considerably to the lett.
This inclination, however, continually
diminishes as the moon approaches
the meridian, after which the line in
clines to the right.
The oblique line-A B Z HIS
the path of the moon relative to the
shadow, and the penumbra. The five
small circles on it represent the moon
al important moments. When its
center is at A at 8:l8 p. m, the moon
enters penumbra. This fact cannot
be observed, because the loss of bril-
liancy is too small to be noticed. AS
| the moon nears B its forward or lett
side becomes darker, until at 9:l9
when the moon enters shadow, quite
perceptible notch will appear to be
cut out of it. AT 1916, when its CEN
ter is at c, the moon has entered
deepest into the shadow, and 80 per
cent of its diameter will be eclipsed
After this the moon begins to emerge
and at l2:l2 it leaves the shadow and
at IA the penumbra. The ten-min-
ute marks on the moons path enable
one, if he be so inclined, to picture the
exact appearance of the moon at any
time during the eclipse, as he need
but center a circle OF the size OF the
moon at the desired time and see how
it cuts the shadow and penumbra cir-
Giles.
On the 23rd the sun enters Leo:
The days diminish in length for
ty-one minutes during the month, be-
ing IS hours, 3 minutes long on the
LIST, IA hours 49 minutes on the 18th
and IA hours q minutes on the 3lst
The sun is from four to six minutes
slow on local time, and from twent-
! ty-seven to thirty minutes slow on
central time. Those that are clamor-
ing to set the clock ahead one hour
ought to see from the times given
in the moon" column in the subjoin-
ed table that we have already, by
adopting central time, set our clocks
ahead Of the sun from twenty-seven
to thirty minutes this month. The
sun now sets not far from 8 o'clock,
thus giving us three hours of day
light after quitting work at 5. That
ought to be. enough.
Putting the clocks ahead one hour
within the limits of one city only and
for few months only, is a very ques-
tionabe proceeding. First, there is
the inconvenience of changing our
time whenever we cross the city linz
its. Secondly, what will the vast ma
jority of the people do with that Eek
ira hour of daylight" as they call it!
1t is too light to go to sleep by our
usual clock time, and too light to
begin a lecture or an entertainment
that calls for artificial lighting. These
will then begin an hour later by the
clock. So that by really rising an
hour earlier than usual and deceiv-

are in favor of this early rising
and thereby shortening their hours

them, if they like, rise, go to work,
quit work, take their meals, and do
everything an hour earlier by the CEN

To remove stains from wallpaper
mix a little grated clay with enough

this over the stain and leave for
twelve hours. Afterward scrape it of

PROMINENT MExiCANS CONFER
Would Meet Our Government to Set
tie War Questions at Some Point
in the United States.

Mexico City.-Several prominent
leaders of the de facto government
met at the national palace recently,
and, it is understood here, prelimin-
airy consideration was given the sug-
gestion in the latest note from Sec
rotary Lansing that the Mexican gov
eminent propose some practical plan
through which the differences now
existing between the two govern
ments might be solved.
While the greatest secrecy concern
ing the meeting was maintained, it
became known that two plans were
considered. One plan called for a
Geographic conference with direct
wires leading from teh conference
rooms in Washington and Mexico
City. The other plan was that the
delegates of the two governments
meet at some isolated town in the
United States, preferably summer
resort, to discuss plans for joint &C.
ton.
1t is said that none of the con.
ferees expressed any objection to
holding the conference in the United
States.

'Now," said his employer, there are

Bill admitted that he did
Employer: "That amounts to. 1872
days, which subtracted from 365 days,
leaves 243. Very we'll. Another one
third is spent in play, recreation and
amusement. That is 122 days, which,
subtracted from 243, leaves 121 days."
Bill assented to the accuracy of this
deduction.
"Now," continued his employer,
"there are So Sundays. Deduct So from
121 and it leaves SO days"
Bill agreed.
"Then," said his employer, "the half
holiday on Saturdays, amounts to rs
days; subtract that from SO days and
we get 43 days"
Bill wiggled in his chair and admit
ted solemnly to the fact. ~

from 43 days, leaves 80 days.

THE 1916 MINE OUTPUT
is RECORD IN U. S.
Half Years Metal Production Shows
the Result of Large Demand
for Metals.

The output of American mines for
1916, as seen in production for the
first six months of the year, will set
new records, the geological survey
announces. Good prices and an act
i've demand for mineral products, the
statement said, have spurred mine
operators.
Reports from throughout the coun.
try show that soft coal, copper, iron
lead and zinc are being mihed in
larger quantities than last year. Gold
production probably will show de.
crease, but silver mines are working
to capacity.
Higher prices and heavy demands
are stimulating the production of
manganese as never before.
The statement predicted that 1916
will doubtless be the most profit
able year in the history of copper
production to the present time, and
possibly for years to come"
Under the influence of large de-
mands and resultant high prices the
production of copper during the last
six months has exceeded that of any
equal period in the history of the
industry.
Prices of copper have averaged
more than rs cents a pound during
the first six months of this year, the
highest in recent years.
Petroleum production probably will
be the greatest of any year in the
country's history. The quantity mar
keted for the first half of the year
was 140,000,000 barrels, which, al
though less than the amount market
ed in the first half of 1915, was
greater than half of the total market
ed throughout the whole of last year.
The fact that at the end of the half
year production and consumption east
of the Rocky mountains were essen
TALLY in balance, said statement is
sued by the survey, should lower
prices for midcontinent grades.

MINING NOTES

A smeltermen's union was organ
lied at Northport, Wash, with more
than 100 members, recently. The
union is a branch Of the Western
Federation of Miners.
An important factor contributing
to the increased output of mineral in
the northwest is the large number
of mills and concentrators which
have gone into operation this year or
are expected to do so before the
close of 1916.
George Turner, president of the
Constitution Mining company, owning
and operating the mine of that name
on Pine creek, in the Occur d'Alenes,
has announced that plans for a con-
centrator of 100 tons daily capacity
are being prepared, and it is expected
that the plant will be in operation
within 90 days after the plans are
completed.

The observance of "pay-up" week
has proven successful in the number
of isolated cases where it has been
tried, and received the enthusiastic
support of all classes in various COM
munities 1t indicates the command
Of public favor that the movement has
taken on nationalized scope.
The drift into neglect, carelessness
and heedlessness in the meeting Of
fIfgent obligations has come to be a
,seTious defect in the business and So
cial life of this country. The effects
are plainly apparent in the develop
ment Of improvidence, in the strain
that at once becomes apparent when
there is any curtailment in incomes
or when conditions make it necessary
to endeavor to secure settlements,
while the tendency to lower the moral
standards of those who have permitted
license in the disregard of small bills
to lapse into abuse is a symptom that
is familiar to most merchants who are
doing credit business.
The retailer is one of the principal
eddy the greatest loser, not alone
through the actual default of those who
owe him, but for the reason that a
too large percentage of his capital is
that have overrun the period when
they should have been liquidated But
the retailer is also responsible to a
considerable extent for the drift into
disregard of the amenities as applied
to small bills, because of his own neg.
ligence in the regulation of his credit
methods.
1t is wholesome indication that the
public is becoming interested in a
movement that promises to clean up
the slate at stated intervals, and the
innovation of "pay-up" week seems to
have struck popular chord shows
that this is the case. People who get
the habit Of wiping out their debts
once or twice year are certain to ex.
ercise greater care in allowing them
to accumulate, and benefit to the com
munity will follow. The observance
Of thrift has come to be regarded by
many as evidence Of righteousness or
lack of ability to provide for the re.
quirements that are inherent to their
position in life, while many merchants
have proceeded on the theory that
they were serving their own interests
in encouraging extravaganza in ex-
penditure, when, as matter OF fact
their business would be upon far
firmer and more satisfactory basis IL
their customers bought only what they
could afford to pay for, and fully appre
ciated the fact that they were con
fronted by certain settlement date
when they were making their pur-
chases.
