 The question of garbage disposal has become imperative and the mayor and the city council are at their wits end to devise some method to meet the situation without further delay. The city finances are not in such shape that, a disposal plant can be purchased outright, but the company MT.

THE ECLIPsES IN JULY

As an eclipse year the present year is a remarkab ble and unusual one, since It will witness no less than seven. of these phenomena; this is the greatest number of eclipses that can under any clrcum- stances take place during any one year Three of these eclipses have already oc- cured; two will occur during the present month, while of the remaining two only the last one-that of December 2I-wlll De visible in the United States.
 On July 4 the full moon will enter the great shodow of the earth at hours 52 minutes p. m CEastern standard time), and it will pass so nearly through the shadows center that it will not fully emerge until 3 hours 33 minutes later.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-07-01

Since even by the latter time the full moon will not have risen to observers in the United States, this interesting eclipse will be wholly invisible to us It will be seen. however, from throughout Eu- rope, Africa and the south Atlantic ocean and from western Asia.
 The full moon of July is thus an eclipsed moon. Two weeks later when our satellite has become new, its extreme upper edge will pass over the lower edge of the suns disc, but so nearly does this eclipse escape occurring altogether that under the most favorable circumstances only one-twelfth of the suns diameter will be seen to be hidden. This eclipse will be visible only from points in the Indian and Antarctic oceans,

THE HEAVENS IN JULY
By PROF. ERIC DooLITTLE Of the University of Pennsylvania

The July evenings witness the com plete disappearance of the beautiful group Gemini and Of the faint and myth ologically interesting Cancer; the Water Snake has plunged almost wholly below tho western horizon, while the beautiful Capella which leaves our evening sky for but few weeks each year and which is so near the pole that north of latitude AS degrees it does not set at all, is now almost exactly on the horizon in the ex- treme northeast.
 THE JULY STARS
 The striking midsummer group of the Scorpion has now reached it's highest po- sltion of the year and is seen exactly on the meridian well up from the ground In the south. The interesting group of the Archer with it's wealth of double and multiple suns and whose western stars form the well known Milk Dip per- may be seen closely following Scorpion to the east, while the beautiful Northern Cross, the bright Aquilla and the strange little group of the Dolphin, often called Jobs Coffin,'' have now all mounted high in the eastern sky.

The law provides that where schools

of the requirements has been complied

CONTRAST IN BACK YARDS.
Transparent Fence Is Well Adapted
For City Homes and Gardens.

The usual wooden fence around
back yard hides from view the lower
part of the house as well as the sur
rounding grounds Because OF this the
artistry expressed in home garden or
lawn becomes purely personal asset
and does not add as much as it might
Ito the beauty Of the general landscape.
The type of fence thus detracts from
the beauty of the city.
Moreover, such n fence may actually
hide serious insanitary conditions.
