SUN TO Be ECLIPSED
MORNING

There is to be a total eclipse OF
the sun next Thursday, but well have
TO take the Naval Observatory as
tronomers' word for it, as, they say
the phenomenon will not be seen at
all by the people OF Washington.
The eclipse will begin at 1898 a.
m. on Wednesday and will continue
until 3:44 p. m. the next day. the
moon gradually getting between the
earth and the sun until on Thursday
morning about II o'clock Old Sol will
be totally eclipsed.
The phenomenon will be visible in
South America and in Africa and
other sections of the world south of
the North American continent. The
reason for this was said by astron-
omers today to be that the moon is
to the south, ION the other side" of
the sun, and it cannot be seen except
by people who live to the south of it.
The total eclipse will last seven
minutes, although we here in Wash
inEton will not know any difference.
The last total eclipse visible in
this city occurred on June S last.
when thousands witnessed the phe.
