NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Nov. H. For a few minues on the morning of January 24 next the moon will get between the earth and the sun and cut off all the light we get from that body. This eclipse will be visible in the United States, and it doubtless will be seen by more millions of peo- pie than any such occurrence in the past, according to Professor 10. w. Brown of Yale university.
 The eclipse next January is notable for the fact that it occurs in a terri tory from which the light of the sun has not been wholly obscurred by the moon within the memory of any one living.
 "If we look over the records of past eclipses, Professor Brown said, "and the predictions for future eclipses we soon see that in any one place there will be a total eclipse of the sun only ohce in every few hundred years. The coming eclipse will produce darkness over a narrow band of territory which stretches from point somewhere west of Duluth and, after crossing north ern Michigan and Wisconsin, is seen in Connecticut and then passes out to sea. The hour of the phenomenon is between 9 and 9 80, eastern stand ard time."
 Predictions Accurate
 The accuracy with which the time and position can be predicted for an eclipse is high, Professor Brown went

on to say. The northern and southern edge of the shadow band can be laid down within a mile. Hence, when the almanac predicts that the southern edge will cross the upper end of Cen tral park in New York City it is fair ly certain that the shadow will not keep off the grass.
 'The eclipse of next January will be seen by many millions of people," the professor said. "In the map which has been issued by the naval observatory it is seen that the south- ern boundary of the band over which the sun will be totally eclipsed just covers Duluth, Minn,; Menominee, Mich. Frankfort, Mich; London, Ont; Dunkirk, N. r.; Wilkes-Barre, Pa.; and New York City north of Central park. Well inside the north ern edge are. Manistique, Mich. i; Toronto, Ont; Auburn, Hudson, N. Y.; New Bedford, Mass; while mile or two outside are Syracuse, N. F.; Springfield Mass, and Provi- dence, R. l.
 Take Photos
 "The observatories will devote the brief two minutes during which the eclipse lasts to photographing that marvellous fringe of light which is never seen except at total eclipse, known as the corona. Others will try to get accurate positions of the moon and also photographs of it so that it's size and shape shall be bet ter known"

Some republican leaders claimed
 Tuesday that, for the first time since {ha Civil war, one of Alabama's votes A the countrywide electoral college
 will be cast for G. O. P. candidate. According to these leaders, A. A. Bingham, Talladega republican. is 20, 600 votes ahead of A. A. Shelley, democrat, for presidential elector. |Shelley's name was substituted at the hast minute for G. c. Bates, who died |after the ballots were printed, and thls |confused many voters.
 Democrats Lead
 The combi- ed vote for Bates and |Shelley gives the democrats a tremen- |dous lead over the republican candidate, hut republicans are insisting that their votes cannot be consolidated, and that Bingham is entitled to the post. In the view of democratic leaders, however, the intention of the voters to |elect a democrat is shown unmistakabiy |by the returns. They say it would be unfair for the G. o. P. leaders to at- |tempt to take advantage of what is term ed a technicality. There was talk in Birmingham Tuesday nof the possibility that a commission composed of the gov ernor, secretary of state and others Will meet in Montgomery to settle the argu-

 There were some republicans who

The Kind That Does Not De- press the Heart Action But Gives Immediate Relief.

Doctors can prescribe Bromo-Aspirin with absolute assurance that it will have no depressing effect on the heart. On the contrary, Bromo-Aspirin is slightly stimulating to the heart. It contains no quinine and gives imme- diate relief for colds, headache, back ache, fever, grippe or neuralgia.
 There is no aspirin like Taylor's Bromo-Aspirin. It is the kind that does not depress the heart. That is why it is better than plain aspirin.
