ECLIPSE OF The sun

The coming of partial eclipse of

lines on the general subject quite in.
teresting.
During ancient and middle ages they
played an important part in political
and military affairs. Owing to re-
fusal of the natives of Jamaica to sell
food to the little army of Columbus,
they would have perished but for the
timely occurrence OF an eclipse of the
moon. II was March /, 1904. The ma
tives were told that Columbus would
shut off the moons light, and they
quickly produced the food, then the
moon shone again.
Astronomers can calculate the time
and visibility of an eclipse as far back
ward as forward A large number of
historical dates have been fixed abso-
lutely by the fact that historians have
mentioned eclipses in connection with
the events. will give one instance.
Herodotus tells of a battle between the
Lydians and Medes being suddenly
stopped by total eclipse of the sun.
1t put an end to the war. Historians
have fixed the date all the way from
626 to 5S3 B. c., but astronomical
calculation shows that 1t occurred May
2s, 5s5 B. C. This is not Hypothetical
To illustrate, it is known that it will
he ninetynine years before another total
eclipse will be seen over the same
path as the one now coming London
did not see total eclipse between l1i0
and 17l5, period of 575 years.
You may wonder how these eclipses
can be foretold and the exact place Of
visibility fixed so accurately. The rea-
son is this: although the earth is
whirling through space l.555,000 miles
per day, the meanwhile performing
eleven different motions simultane
ously, 1t has not varied a hundredth
of second in thousand years.
There can Reucr be more than seven
eclipses in a year nor less than two.
When there are bu; two, both will be
of the sun.
The corona-~that fringe of light
around the moons disk at totality-
shows how the flames leap ont into
space. These are invisible during the
full blaze of the sun. These flames
have been measured to a distance of
2S6,000 miles. A photograph OF total
eclipse visible in California, Jan. |,
1889, shows rays of light like the tail
of bright comet, to a distance of
2,4S0,000 miles, or three times the
diameter of the sun These eruptions
can be studied only from photographs
taken during total eclipse, hence the
great interest of astronomers in such
events.
A total eclipse cannot last longer
than minutes and 10 seconds in this
latitude.
Take an ordinary calling card and
make pin hole in it. Let the rays
of the sun pass through this hole upon
another object and you will see the
form of the eclipse The leaves of
trees sometimes cast shadow of the
tsame forms. Watch the birds.

to change before we can ever be-
live in our hearts that Germany has
changed from what she was before
the war.
When reading the German to1-

the armistice conditions, it should be
remembered that the terms OF the
armistce were more gentle and
more merciful than would have been

us continue to he watchful an / wary.
In peace, as in war, we must re-
member what has happened. We
must take to our hearts the lessons
of the past
1--WE do not require revenge;
France has not asked for revenge.
What we wish aad what we were de
termined to have both in France
and England and IN all the nations
associated in this great cause, was
that justice should be meted out TO
those who were responsible for the
awful horrors OF the last iour and
