Notwithstanding all the plans for
day light saving and the "lengthening

put a crimp into il and get off the job
early today. Before he sets for the
day, June Sth. 1918. he proposed to go
into an eclipse. which will be seven

shadow the width of which will vary

miles on the Atlantic Coast. will sweep
across the country in about AZ min

total. At Aberdeen, Wash, the total
will last two minutes; in Florida il
will last as seconds.
While the path of the eclipse will be
narrow, practically all of North Amer
ica will witness a partial obscurity.
The eclipse, so far as Annapolis is
concerned, will occur about 6.40
O'Clock, when the moon begins getting
between Mother Earth and the sun.
The exact time for Annapolis has not
been fixed, but in Washington. ID. c.,
the phenomenon will begin at Gal and
reach its maximum at 7.39 o'clock. and
there is very little difference in the
time between Annapolis and the CAPT

May, 1900, there was an eclipse visi-
BILE here that was 81 per cent total.
The next eclipse will not be seen un-
til 1923.
The eclipse is of great importance
to astromers and scientists, for il will
give them a long awaited opportunity
| to study the most wonderful spectacle
supplied by nature-the solar corona.
| This corona becomes family visible a
| few seconds before the last trace of
the solar crescent disappears-cast in
to gloom by the moon. 1t flashes in
to full view the instant totality arrives.
The corona consists of flashes of fire
radiating hundreds of millions of miles
from the edge of the sun. This corona,
which astronomers seek TO photo
graph, that they may study its as yet
unsolved mysteries, appears to be a
mixture of incandescence burning in
hydrogen gases.
