ferently from different places. On
this occasion the shadow of the moon
aces not extend quite as far as the
earth, so that in those places where
the center of the moon is seen to
pass exactly over the center of the
sun the moon is not as large as the
sun, and when exactly superposed up
on the sun leaves a very small ring
of the sum about it visible. For this
reason it is called an annular eclipse.
The places where this ring can be
seen are, with the exception OF Gu
ba, nearly all on the ocean. 1t hap
rens that just at the time OF the
eclipse the moon is further from the
earth than at any other time this
wear and nearly at the greatest dis
tance it ever has, and the earth is
now in that part of its path which Is
closest to the sun, so that the suns
disc is nearly as large as ever and
the moons disc nearly as small as
ever, so that the p : of light re-
manning in view il most as wide as

In this sense the eclipse is unusual

was a total eclipse of nearly the lon
pest possible duration. This eclipse

ECLIPSE Of MOON
TO BE FOLLOWED
BY sun ECLIPSE
GREAT NOTCH SEEMED TO BE
CLIPPED OUT OF OLD LUNA
LASTNIGHT-SUN TO HAVE 4
CHUNK CUT OUT ON NOVEM-
BER %.

Hundreds of Palatkans watched
with a great deal of interest the
eclipse of the moon which was visible
yesterday evening from 5 o'clock un-
til about 6:15. A great skunk seem-
ed to have been cut out of old Luna,
taking off a portiw the mans
nose. II s n
The cause ot his phenomena is
explained by the fact that the great
shadow of the earth extends way * t
into space, nearly in the direction OF
the moon, the moon being a little
above it at o'clock in the after
noon.
As the sun below the western hori-
zon the earth's shadow, being directly
opposite, must rise above the eastern
horizon but the moon rises, too, be-
cause of the rotation of the earth.
The moon, however, is revolving
about the earth, and this motion soon
carries it into the shadow.
This region in which the suns light
was cut was of the shape of a great
cone beginning at the tarth with a
diameter equal to the arth's diameter
5000 miles and having vertex $780,
600 miles away. At the distance Of
the moon the diameter of the shadow
cone was $3.50 miles. The moon first
entered this shadow at 5:58 p. m
As the light of the moon is merely
the light of the sun reflected from II
that portion of the moon which was
n the shadow could not be seen.
From this time more and more 81

about a fifth Of the diameter Of The
moon was in the shadow The
amount hidden then decreased m
