RING ECLIPSE Of SUN
VISIBLE THIS MONTH
PATH IS DUE TO EXTEND
ACROSS FLORIDA.
Will Look Like a Ring of Fire as 1t
Comes Up Over the Horizon.

The unusual phenomenon Of an an.
nular. or "rlng" eclipse will be visible
in the United States on the morning
of November %. The central path
Of the eclipse extends from the vicini-
ty of Timbuktu, Africa, across the
Atlantic ocean to point near San
Antonio, Tex. The natives of the
African Jungle will behold the sun 60
ing below the horizon as a great ring
of fire, while the inhabitants Of the
Texas plains will see his majesty,
"Old SOL" come up above the sheets
CT morning midst in the same curious
form.
When the moon passes directly
across the face Of the sun as seen
from a position on the earth, an
eclipse occurs. By coincident the
moon is very nearly the size Of the
sun as seen in our sky, though in
reality it is only about one four-hun-
dredth the diameter of the solar disk.
The moons distance is such that the
planet ordinarily appears about as
large as the sun, 93,OOO,OOO miles
away. But for this remarkable cir
cumstance we would never see the
sun sometimes completely hidden By
the moon and at other times not
quite screened, by the opaque body OF
cur satellite. Thus we can have
either a. total eclipse of the solar disc
or an annular eclipse.
If the earth's atmosphere extended
outward to the distance of the moon
we could see the long conical shad-
ow cast by the moon. When our
waird satellite is at its near approach
To the earth, its orbit being slightly
eccentric, the tip of the shadow cone
touches the ground and marks lar-
row path of totality. The shadow
may be large enough for the period
of totality to last nearly seven min
utes. Such was the duration of the
total eclipse of May 20, this year.
But when the moon sweeps across
the solar disc at distance from the
earth too great for the tip of It's
shadow to touch the surface, the pha

AOJUTbNT GENERAL IS
SCOUTING FOR TROOPS
GENERAL CATS is NOW ON
TOUR OF STATE
Will Visit Western Section First
Florida Quota is Now Full
Regiment

ST. AUGUSTINE, Nov. 5.-(Spec-
ial.)-Adjutant General Sidney j.
Cats, Jr., left yesterday in his car on
a tour of the State for the purpose
of building up the national guard of
Florida. He is accompanied on the
trip by George Hendricks.
General Cats will first visit the
western sections of the State and will
endeavor to arouse interest in the
national guard. He carried with him
a quantity of advertising material
similar to that used by the federal
government to stimulate recruiting
and will placard the various cities
and towns he visits. The advertising
matter sets forth the need of the i'm
mediate reorganization of the nation
al guard and the advantage of service
in the same. The patriotism of the
young men of the State is appealed
to by the placards and this it is be-
leved will be effective in reviving the
military spirit throughout the State.
Now that Florida's allotment has
been increased from two battalions
to complete regiment of infantry,
it is expected that nearly every city
and town of Importance in the State
will organize company or platoon
and this city will be urged to form a
company, a military organization be-
ing of the utmost Importance here
owing to the State arsenal being To-
Gated here. General Cats expects to
spend a month on the tour, moving
from place to place as rapidly os pos
sible.

The last gun in the campaign for a
bond Issue of $4,000 for the erection
and maintenance Of a municipal light
ing plant was fired Friday night at a
meeting Of citizens at the east court
room, addressed by Il. NJ. Stevenson
a consulting engineer Of Kansas City,
Mo-. who has a reputation for fighting
privately owned lighting Corporations
turnout the country; j. G. Long, city
manager of Webster City, and George
Herman. former member Of the Mar
shalltown city council Local leaders
OF the socialist party were much in
evidence.
An explanation Of how a municipal
plant could be built in MarshaIltown,
at war cost and how bonds were to be
retired without additional cost to the
taxpayers, was not attempted. Instead
the speakers devoted their time almost
! wholly to results of municipal lighting
plants in other cities. Asked what a
plant would cost IN this city, Mr.. Ste
venson. the principal speaker, declined
to answer, stating that he had not fig
ured the expense of constructing a
plant here. He did, however. state
that electricity could not be produced
here for the same rates now existing
in Kansas City, Kan, where he has
been INSTRUMENTAL in securing the in
stallationi and in the operation of a
municipal plant.
Stevenson Looking For Business.
George Hawley, chairman of the
meeting. was frank In his remarks in
introducing Mr.. Stevenson, saying the
speaker was rocking for business. He
added that If the new city council was
called upon to erect q municipal plant
Mr.. Stevenson would be looking for
contract.
Mr. Stevenson was equally frank and
while making mis- picture Of municipal
owned plants very roseats. with the
Kansas City, KAN, plant the main OBJ
tect 70 strike the eye. he did not mits-
gate certain obstacles encountered in
the hrst three years OF operation.
Difference in Rates.
He declared he had worked IN thir-
U-six states and had yet to find mum
icipal rates higher than the rates OF
private corporations. Usually, he adj
ded. the municipal rates were lower by
Is to 50 per cent.
You. would get sick Of q man COM
ing Into your house once q month and
demanding 31.5s or 81. at the point OF
q gun" he said, yet you are allowing
the biggest gang of thieves in the
country to como into your house and

The gang OF thieves, he explained,
were the combined electric utilities
concerns. forming the biggest trust In
America. Incidentally he referred to
the alleged fact that this country has
the greatest money aristocracy the
world has ever known" He had worked
for monopolies, he said, and there Is
not a plant in tine United States but
is capitalized for two or three times
it's actual value, and you suckers are
paying for it,

MAYOR AND TWO cOUNciLMEN
TO REFLECTED AND BOND
ISSUES DETERMINED.
TWO LIGHTING PROJECTS
COME BEFORE VOTERS
Big Bond Issue For Erection OF Plant
to Enter Commercial Field and
Smaller Issue to Rehabiiitate Street
Lighting Plant--Women May Vote,
But to No Purpose.

The election of mayor and two coun-
cilmen, comprising the city commits
sion, and two bond issue3 will be be-
fore the voters of the city Monday In
the municipal election. The candidates
for mayor are +. G.. Pierce and J. j.
Wilson. The four candidates for coun-
cilmen are John !. Bell, w. .. Butler,
T.. A. Ford and Roy NJ. Good.
The first bond issue TO be voted on
is the proposal TO issue bonds in the
sum of $4,000 for the erection and
equipment of an electric light and
power plant aud for the necessary
transmission lines, to DE owned and
operated by the city for the manufac-
ture and distribution of electric cur
rent for all purposes, and to include a
complete street lighting system.
The second bond issue to be voted on
is for $4,000 for the installation OF
machinery and distributing system fol
street lighting purposes
The big bond issue IS for a mum
cipal plant to compete In the CONNER
cial field, and the smaller issue Is fol-
the necessary rehabilitation of the
present city street lighting system to
insure better service and extend the
service to quarters of the city now
without street lights.
Do Not Confuse Issues.
The smaller bond issue is solely fol-
the Improvement of the present plant
and for street lighting alone. 1t is not
for the purpose Of increasing the capa-
city of the plant to engage in com
mercial lighting.
The larger issue is for the erection
and maintenance of a municipal plant
to engage in the commercial field and
10 supplant the present plant i'll the
lighting OF The streets of the city.
Women May Vote-That's All.
Women are permitted to vote on the
bond issues, but merely for practice. or
to register their sentiment toward or
against the issues. The votes Will be
counted but Will not be considered in
the final outcome. The law, 1t is held,
is contradictory, and while giving the
women the right to vote, denies them
the right to cast a ballot which would
affect the results.
The polls will be open from a. M
to D. m. The polling places in the
five wards follow:
First-116 East Main.
Second-Central fire station.
Third-122 West Main,
