Mrs. Ella Harper Cohen.

The ashes of Mrs. Ella Harper
Cohen, relict of BENJAMIN |. Cohen,
were inferred in Elmwood Cemetery,
Shepherdstown, last Sunday after
noon. 1t was a ceremony such as had
never before been witnessed in this
cemetery, for this was the first inter-
ment there of the mortal remains of a
person who had been cremated. The
Register has heretofore told of the
death Of Mrs. Cohen, which occurred
on May 18th last at her home in Port
land, Oregon, after an illness of sew
eral years. Mrs. Cohen was a native
OF ShepherdStown, daughter of Col
Charles Harper and his wife, Eliza
Harper, but had lived in Portland for
some forty years, having married Mr..
Cohen, a native Of Baltimore, in 1880,
who at that time went TO Portland and
established an important and pros
porous banking and trust company. He
died ten years ago, and at his request
his ashes were inferred in the Cohen
family burying-ground in Baltimore
His widow expressed the desire that
her body, too, should be cremated. As
she was not of the same religious faith
of her husband, and by the terms Of
the Cohen cemetery deed could not
therefore be buried near him, she ask
ed that her mortal remains be dcposit-
ed in the family lot in Elmwood Gene
terry, Shephcrdstown. When it was
apparent mat Mrs. Cohcn's days were
drawing to close, her sistcr-in law,
Miss Eleanor S. Cohen, of Baltimore.
went to Portland and was with her
until the end. Miss Cohen was de-
voted TO her, and she saw to il that all
OF her wishes were faithfully carried
out. Nothing that sincere respect and
slsterly love could do was left undonc.
The body was crcmated, and the ashes
placed in small copper casket suit
ably engraved. When all needful af-
fairs had been attended to, Miss Cohen
left Portland for Shcpherdstown, ard
after a weeks journey across the con-
nnent she arrived in this place last
Friday. The funeral service was held
Sunday afternoon and was conducted
by Rev. j. w. Ware, of the Episcopal
Church. In the funeral party were
Miss Cohen and Col. John Hink!cy, CT

the person who Is dizzy seems to. himself to be turning round and round.
 One cause of this is due to the fact that when you are dizzy the eyes are not in complete control of the brain and the eyes moving independently of
 each other look in different directions and produce this turning effect on the brain, since each eye then sends a diff
 ferent impression to the brain in
 stantly.
 The principal cause of the sense of
 dizziness is, however, the little organ
 which gives us our power to balance
 and which is located near the ears. ed and people affected in this way are almost continually dizzy. Whenever this organ of balance is disturbed we , lose our idea of balance and the turn ing sensation occurs.
 It is easy to make yourself dizzy All you do is to turn round a few times in the same direction and stop. 1 In doing this you disturb the little organ of balance and things begin to l turn apparently before your eyes. If you turn the other way you right matters again or if you just stand still matters will right themselves. There is no great harm in making yourself l dizzy and very little fnn.-From the Book of Wonders, Published and 1 Copyrighted by the Bureau of Indus | trial Education, Inc, Washington, D. tC.

To the Iayman and to the naked eye astronomical amateur the moon is probably the most interesting of all the heavenly bodies. It is not large body, having only diameter of about one-fourth that of the earth, or 2,160 miles. In volume. therefore the moon is only one-forty-ninth of the earth and in surface area. the area has 13.5 times as much. The large apparent size of the moon in comparison with the other celestial bodies is of course due entirely to it's great proximity t. the earth-astro- nomically speaking; it's distance be- ing about 240,00O miles, about ten times the equatorial circumference of the earth The actual amount of matter in the moon has been found to be about ne-eightieth that nak- ing up our earth. and the attraction of the moon for bodies at its surface is only one-sixth as great as the sur face gravity on the earth. This means that one falls six times as hard from equal heights on the earth as one would on the moon.
 The surface conditions on the moon are of great Interest and are quite different from those obtaining on the edIln. we are 4u1tC CcA IoAl1 OA LAAO absence of an atmosphere on the moon; no clouds are ever seen over it's surface and when the moon ob- scures a star from our view it does 1t with suddenness, which would not be the case if layer Of atmosphere sur rounded it; if the latter were present the star would fade out gradually and reappear gradually because of the partial screening by such gase- ous envelope. Another point of diff ference is the absence of water. There are no oceans. seas Or rivers; everywhere is barren rock or possf- ply volcanic ash. We shall continue the discussion of the moon next month.1
 May continues to present a sky rich in planets. The evening sky contains Jupiter, Saturn and Mars, together with the almost invisible Neptune. Venus now rises only short time before the sun and will soon change from a morning star to be an evening star almost the entire second half of the year.

 There will be two eclipses in May a partial eclipse of the sun and total eclipse of the moon. The former will take place on the 18th, but will be visible only in Australia and in the southern part of the Indian Ocean. No expeditions will be made to observe this eclipse, as it is not total at any point on the earth, and only the latter is of great scientific interest.
 The total eclipse of the moon will, however, be visible from the Eastern part of America It is slated for the early evening hours of the 2d. The middle of the eclipse will be at S:51 p. m. by Eastern standard time; the total phase will begin at S:15 D. m. and end at 9:27 p. m. The moon will enter the unbra, or dark shadow of the earth, at z D. m.. and this is the time that observing should com mence, for the moon from then on will steadily lose portions of it's sur face to the devouring shadow.
 If you will consult the table of moons phases given with the map you will discover that the date of the eclipse is also the date for the full moon. This convinces you at once that an eclipse is a phenomenon which is different, to a great extent at least, from the monthly waning and waxing of the lunar surface. Furthermore, you will note that the day of the solar eclipse mentioned above is also the date of new moon. But, while the darkening of the moons-- face at eclipse is not identi- caIly the same as the darkening from the phase phenomenon, yet the ex- planation of the one leads directly to the other.
 As is well known, the moon passes around the earth in it's orbit, and this is completed once in about 27 A days. When the moon is between us and the sun, in a general way, not necessarily in an absolutely central line, we have new moon, because the
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1920-04-30

sun is illuminating only that half Of
 the moon which is turned toward it
 and which in this case is, of course,
 invisible from the earth. The moon
 has no light of it's own and is entirely dependent upon the sun. About two
 weeks later the moon will have pass
 ed along in it's orbit until it is found
 on the side of the earth opposite to
 that on which the sun is. In this
 case the sun Eliminates the half ot
 the moon which also happens to be
 the half that is turned toward the
 earth. So we have the full moon.
 Between the full and new phases we have the first and third quarter which are observed when the moon is on the points of it's orbit furthest out to the side of the earth as seen
 from the sun. In this case the sun | Eliminates the half of the mooN l which is toward it and half of this
 again is what is seen as lit up by the earth.
 If the moon at the time of the full moon phase were exactly on the 1 straight line passing through the | earth and sun. it would be thorough ly | shielded from the suns rays by the earth, and we would have an eclipse ] every full moon. But the moon usu | ally does not suffer eclipse at. ful moon time. and this is due to the
 fact that the lunar orbit lies in ( ] plane which makes a small anglt with the plane in winch the earth anG 1 sun lie. Thus the moon usually i well enough above the earth-su1 I (eliptic) plane or below it, to receive 1 the full benefit of the suns light l When, however, the full moon phas, | takes place with the moon at or neal 1 the point where it's orbit passe! 1 through the earth-sun plane, then al | eclipse does occur. Very similarly
 the solar eclipse takes place at new
 moons only when this phase happen
 as the moon is passing through tn, earth-sun plane at the same time. IT | this case the moon merely cuts somt of the inhabitants of the earth of from seeing the sun.
