The village girls enviously critic
lied Esther's wedding dress. They
had reason to admire. She wore q
frOck Of soft crepe de chine. beau
tffully embroidered in silver, and .
long court train OF Brussels lace
floated from her shoulders. The
girl appeared vapory and elusive,
as a bride should. Her tulle gave
an added softness to ner delicate
face. and the wreath of orange
blossoms suited her dark hair. She
wore pearls round her slim throat.
Among the chorus OF voices there
was one question. which was al
most universal.

Visible All Over U. S.


As a partial eclipse the phenome-
non will be visible all over the
United States. less and less of the
suns face being hidden behind the
moon IN proportion as the place of
observation Is farther from the CEN
trail axis OF the eclipse path. either
on the north or the south.
What do astronomers hope to learn
from this eclipse? Their general
aims in that respect are very much
the same that they have always
been since modern astronomical
methods and instruments were de-
veloped. The great spectacular ele-
ment Of an eclipse is the corona. a
glory OF glowing streamers sur
rounding the hidden sun like q
phosphorescent crown. or wreath
and never visible, though always
existent. except during the obscurG-
ton OF an eclipse. when the solar
glare is removed from the atmos-
phere surrounding the observer.
The shape and outline Of the
corona. the relative brilliancy of its
different parts. the structure OF its
rays, some Of which suggest in
form and position the curving lines
q force about the poles of a mag
net. and many other details of this
wonderful phenomenon. are objects
OF special study during the brief
time Of their visibility. because It is
certain that the forces to which the
appearance of the corona is due are
active in the production Of solar In
huences upon the earth which 70
far beyond the familiar effects of
light and heat
CoincIdent with telescope and
Photographic study OF the eclipse
will be simultaneous observations
OF the magnetic elements of tho
earth at many points both within
and without the eclipse track.
Then. too, a careful watch will be
kept for any possible undiscovered
planets circling around the sun in
side the orbit OF Mercury. II there
be any such, they ought to be seen
on this occasion, II ever.

Lincoln aud Emerson
Believe in People.

The February Woman's Home Com
panipn says:
Great men and women, great lives,
noble personalities, are always those
which have wide sense of this fell
lowship, this lovely unity OF life; and
they are constantly referring to it one
way or another, and recognizing it in
even the most unlikely places. 1t was
because Lincoln had such profound
faith in The possibilities Of human ma
ture and guessed the nobility hidden in
the humblest lives that he could not
endure to see any life treated as
though it were a cheap or lnconse-
quent or ignobe thing. 1t was because
of a similar faith in the possibilities
of all US that Emerson could write
as boldly as he did. 1t was the FASH
ion in his day for the people to call
themselves miserable sinners as
mark of virtuous humility; but his
large nina would have none of such
unfaithful, untruthful ways. He was
forever asserting the latent nobility
of all men. You can see his faith in
himself and others shining and SHIN
mering in his pages. The 'sky.born
music that he hears wherever he goes,
the persistency with which for him,
'even in the mud and scum of things,
still always, always something sings
these are but symbols of his magnifi.
/ cent faith in the human powers pos
sessed by all Of u.s."
