SOLAR ECLIPSE
COMING JUNE 8
RARE SPECTACLE TO BE OBJ
SERVED ON AMERICAN
CONTINENT

On the afternoon of Saturday,
June g., 1918, the wonderful spec
tacle of a total solar eclipse will be
visible, weather permitting, over a
track extending from the Pacific
Washington to the Atlantic
(Florida). This track of the
moons shadow is 70 miles wide at
the western coast, narrowing to 40
miles in Florida, says Popular Me-
Chanics.
For about an hour the o. will
gradually encroach upon the suns
disk, the daylight will fade, then
the narrowing crescent of the sun
will suddenly disappear, and around
the jet-black ball of the moon,
hanging in the northwestern sky
among the brighter stars, will be
seen the pearly radiance of the
mysterious solar corona. The re-
markable spectacle may be enjoyed
for 122 seconds at the western
coast, and for half that time in
Florida. Then the crescent of the
sun will appear on the other
(western) side of the moon, and
after another hour the full disk of
the sun will shine as usual.
This event happens at any one
place, on the average, only three
times in a thousand years.
The gaseous envelopes of the sun
can be advantageously studied by
astronomers during the brief inter-
val of total eclipse, and it is then
only that the corona can be OBJ
served. 1t is estimated that there
are only about 80 minutes in a
century for the investigation of this
interesting but still perplexing out
err appendage of the sun. Its shape
is not constant, but varies with the
eleven-year cycle of the suns &C
tivity in producing sun-spots.
Sun-spots are now about at their
maximum, and accordingly we may
expect a corona with streamers dis
tributed in all directions around
the sun, but not SO widely extend
ed east and west as in 1900. The
streamers issuing from near the
suns poles suggest somewhat GER
tain appearances of the aurora
borealis.
The light of the orona is part
ly reflected sunlight and partly
radiation due to the intense heat
it receives from the sun. But the
most interesting part is due to an
unknown gas, called coronium,
which has not yet been found in
the earth or in the spectrum of any
other sun.

Several weeks ago a report was

sired by a wild deer, had been

being ranged on the Toiyabe forest
in Nevada. There were seven of
the animals born within a week
and for a time they were reported
to be doing we'll. A few days g
a report was received that all but
one had died. A photograph of h
lambs was received in Elko, show
ing plainly the marking of the
deer, the faces being slender and
the ears long, although in other
respects the animals were OF the
ordinary sheep type.
