The eclipse Of the moon began to
make its appearance Sunday night at
II O'Clock at which time it was per-
fectly clear and it was covered over
by a shadow. At II 80 it had cloud
ed up with breaks through the clouds
at intervals so it could easily have
been seen at various times and at
1890 a very very bright star was
shining in the west just a short way
above the horizon, but as the clouds
came over this beautiful bright star
was hidden from view. At ~ 800 the
moon was almost covered by a shad-
ow making it considerably darker all
the while and at / 80 the shadow
had completely covered the moon
and it was dark as midnight with
the exception of the bright stars. The
shadow had a bloody appearance and
the total eclipse looked rather un.
pleasant to superstitious people. At
