TOTAL ECLIPSE
Of The sun
SATURDAY EVE

Darkness will descend upon the
earth, from Aberdeen, Wash, to Or
lando, Fla, and Fitzgerald will be in
the twilight belt The first total solar
eclipse in eighteen years will occur
tomorrow afternoon, and all over the
country scientists are marshalling
their forces in order to try to wrest
new secrets from the solar system.
In Fitzgerald the eclipse will be
about 81 per cent, the belt of total
eclipse lying just out of the state of
Georgia at the southwest, but at that
it will be dark enough to send the
chickens to roost and to call into
play the electric lights of the city.
The shadow will begin to move over
the face of the sun at $50 o'clock in
the afternoon; it will reach the middle
about $50 o'clock and will pass off
the sun at 1872 P. M. The eclipse
will occur just sixteen minutes before
sunset, and, if the day is clear, resi-
dents of Fitzgerald will have splen-
did opportunity to witness the weird
spectacle through smoked glass.
The shadow moves with marvellous
rapidity, travelling at the rate of fifty
FIVE miles minute, and will go from
Rome to Valdosta, distance of 500
miles, in minutes.
The state in which the eclipse will
be visible are Washington, Oregon,
Utah, Colorado, Kansas, Arkansas,
Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and
Florida, and a portion of the Pacific
ocean will be in darkness. The beft
of totality will be something over
fortyhve miles wide.
The last total eclipse was May 20,
1900. 1t was visible in certain por-
lions of Georgia, and brought a large
number of scientists to the points
of total eclipse.
