Visit From the Boston Or
chestra With a French
Conductor
BY II. f. Krchbiel

The Boston Orchestra, which de-
parted from ua last spring amid re-
ordinations and heartburnngs, and
followed by regrets as well as mpreca-
tlons because Of its German conductor,
returned to us at Carnegie Hall last
night with French leader of good
local repute at its head. 1t was sped

rejoicings. In the interim it has un-

Paul remarked to the Corinthians. 1t
brings with it on this visit NJ Pierre

the performance of the F'renchmen

Richard H. Edmonds, editor of "The

telegram to the American Defence So

"No one should be allowed to sell

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE case of

Mrs. Lilly Wins Assembly Seat
Against Her Own Expectations
Tier Race on Democratic Ticket Was Regarded as So Foorn
F1ope That Republicans Made No Fight but
Women Workers Turned the Tide

Mrs. Mary NJ. Lilly, elected to the
Assembly by the Democrats Of the
Seventh Assembly District. Manhat-
tan, had to wait twenty-four hours
before being sure of victory. During
thas time she WAS reported both as
winner and loser "by a small mar
gin," and it was not until last night
that the final results were known.
Mrs. Lilly's election is one of the
surprises Of the 1918 campaign. Ac-
cording to the official figures of the
Board OF Election she won by n
plurality of TIA votes in district
that for years has been solidly Re-
publican.
For six terms a Republican has been
returned to the Assembly from this
oistrlct. So certain was this partv
or ITS hold on the district that no
campaign was made for its candidate
THIS year. With something OF the
spirit that prompted other leaders to
put IN woman where victory seemed
impossible. the Den ocrats selected
Mrs. Lilly this year as the opposing
candidate of Abraham Elenhopen
who has been in the Legislature four
years.

The agitation which has resulted in
the passage of this bill began last April
when number of Peeresses petitioned
the House of Lords to pass clause in
the reform bill so they might be per-
mitted TO vote. This is a privilege
which the Peers themselves do not pos
sess, the right to a position in the
House of Lords being considered COM
pensation for disfranchisement. Wives
and widows of Peers who suffered the
same disability without any compensa-
ton demanded the franchise.
The petition to have the matter come
up at General Elections was shelved at
the time. The matter was brought up
later when Lady Rhondda, widow OF
Great Britain's former food Dictator,
asked for q seat in the House Of Lords,
pleading that since her husbands death
she had neither vote nor representa-
tative.
The present bill then came up. By
passing it's third reading in the House
OF Commons it insures to woI<.n of
England the rights they have sought
provided it also passes the House OF
Lords.

A Total Eclipse

NJ EXT Saturday will occur total
l. Y eclipse of the SUM- This, says
"The Outlook" will be the first total
eclipse in eighteen years, or, to be more
exact, in eighteen years eleven and three
quarter days, which is the length of the
saros or interval between eclipses, as de-
termined by scientists. This interval,
the writer notes, was actually determined
by the ancient Chaldeans. He gives the
following data concerning the eclipse:
"The shadow of the coming eclipse will
first appear at sunrise on June Git will be
June in the United States) on the little
island of Borodno off the coast of Japan.
1t will then sweep eastward, and, having by
this time attained speed of thrty-three
miles minute will arrive at 1855 p. M.
Pacific time, at the mouth Of the Columbia
River, in the State of Washington. (The
daylight saving law will make this time
as we'll as that noted in the next paragraph
but one, and in the almanacs generally for
this year, one hour later by the clock.)
During the next few hours people in
every part of the United States-in those
sections, of course, favored with clear skies
will be privileged to witness, in whole or
in part, an eclipse more imposing than any
that has been seen in this country in
great many years.
"From the Columbia River the path of
the total eclipse will sweep southeast leav-
ing the coast of Florida at SAB p. m., East
ern time. The path of the total eclipse
will be one hundred and sixty seven miles
wide. In other sections of the country the
percentage of totality will range from 80
to 63 per cent, the latter being in Massa-
chusetts. The percentage of the eclipse
for any place may be found by de-
ducting ! per cent for every thirty miles
the place is from the middle line of the
eclipse
an an eclipse of the sun the moons
shadow passes over part of the earth. At
the equator it passes over the observer at
the rate of eighteen miles a minute, but
for higher latitudes the speed is much
greater, and when the shadow falls very
obliquely this speed may amount to eighty
miles a minute. The length of the moons
shadow varies between 22800O and 236,O5O
miles. The longest duration of a solar
eclipse is seven minutes and ffty-eght
seconds. In our latitude, however, the
duration of total solar eclipse can barely
exceed six minutes
photography has been of much assist
ance in increasing our knowledge OF
eclipses. The first photographs of solar
eclipse were obtained at the eclipse of 1851
In 1850 photographs were secured which
established the existence of the chrome
sphere, or incandescent gas envelope, as a
solar appendage. In 1868 the spectroscope
was added to the instrumental resources of
the eclipse observer, and in 1869 it's use
resulted in the discovery of an element un-
known to terrestrial chemistry to which
the name 'coronium has been given"
