ECLIPSE OF SUN.
Solar Phenomena Will Be Observed
 on september 10.

Chicago. Feb. S.--A total eclipse Of the sun will be visible over part of the United States September 10 this year. lasting for about two minutes, but Chicago and the middle west will have only partial eclipse to view, and a very small one at that, even less than was seen here June s, 1918, when the last total eclipse visited the United States.
 Chicago, though, is becoming rather used to being neglected by such solar phenomena, for the available records show that the last time the moon in- tervened and totally plotted out the suns rays from falling on the south ern end of Lake Michigan was 151 years ago.
 The best spot for observing the coming eclipse next September will be on Catalina Islands, off the coast of California. scientists say. Edwin B. Frost, director Of Yerkes observatory, Williams Bay, Wisconsin, will take an expedition there. The total eclipse will last about two minutes, starting at 12:54 D. m. September 10 at Cata- lima.

The amount of sickness in the Der lin schools is decreasing rapidly, ac' cording to the superintendent. E. R Showalter. He said that most of the children have returned to classes and the teachers who were absent with grip or other winter afflictions have practically all returned also.
