MOON in ECLIPSE
FOREARLYRISERS
AND SCIENTISTS
Heavenly Disc Is Shaded
for AZ Minutes, Start !
ing at 1:03 A. M.

Those who looked up at a cloudy
sky yesterday afternoon and said.
.'Guess I'll go to bed early. won't
be able to see any eclipse tonight
did not figure right on the weather.
The milkman, those who naturally
and legitiately keep late hours-for
instance, newspaper reporters; those
who deliberately stayed up in the
interest of curiosity or science, and
those who were aroused by friend
wife or hubby for a look at the phe-
nomenon. saw a real total eclipse
of the moon this morning.
A big full moon surrounded by a
halo looked down on the city at
about midnight, when the observers
began to look for the first signs
of the eclipse. 1t wassnot until 1:03
a. M. that their eyestraining was
definitely rewarded. Right on the
schedule that the astronomers had
announced, the shadow Of the earth
began to creep over the moons disc
by darkening the eastern edge.
Gradually the moon was covered
and at 1923 am, still exactly on
schedule, the total eclipse was COM
plete. For forty-two minutes moon
light in Washington was like. elec-
lric light-Shen things go wrong
Probably not many watched the
moon emerge from darkness.
Those who slept too well last
night had better put down June Is
1927, as the. date of their next op-
portunity of not seeing the moon
