TOTAL SOLAR
ECLIPSE JUNE 9TH

On the afternoon of Saturday, June
8, 1918, the wonderful spectacle of a
total solar eclipse will be visible,
weather permitting, over track ex-
tending from the Pacific Washington
to the Atlantic (Florida). 1his track
of the moons 81 adow is 20 miles wide
at the western coast, narrowing to
80 miles in Florida.
For about an hour the moon will
gradually encroach upon the suns disk,
the daylight will fade, then the mar
rowing crescent of thesun will sudden
ly disappear, and around the jet-black
ball of the moon, hanging in the north
western sky among the brighter stars,
will be seen the pearly radiance of the
mysterious solar corona. The remar-
kable 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 twesteT9i) side 10 the moon, and
after another h ur the full disk OF the
astn win si1ine as usual
This event happens at any one place,
on the average, only three times in q
thousand years.
The gaseous envelope OF the sun can
be advantageously studied by astrono-
mers during the brief interval of total
eclipse, and it is then only that the
corona can be observed. 1t. is estimated
that there are only about 80 minutes
in a century for the investigation of
this interesting but still perpleXing
outer appendange of the sun. Its shape
is not constant, but varies with the
eleven-year cycle of the suns activity
in producing sun So OTIS. Sun-spots are
now about at their maximum, and ac-
cordingly we may expect corona
with streamers distributed in al direc-
tons around the sun, but not so widely
extended east and west as in 1900. The
streamers issuing from near the SUMS
poles suggest somewhat certain APP
pearances of the aurora borealis.-Ed-
