~ N the 18th Of August there
was a total eclipse of the
moon, not visible in this
country, but conspicuous in
Africa, and thereupon, in the full
blaze Of the twentieth century.
the radio and the telegraph trans
mitted the news that the spec
tacle of the eclipsed moon greatly
excited the imagination Of the
crowds of Soudanese assembled at
Khartoum in the uprising against
British rule.
This seems like a chapter from
a chronicle of the dark ages, but
it is in fact only startling re-
minder of a state Of mind that
still prevails among millions OF
human beings, and which, most
astonishing of all, is even - he
found lurking in the midst OF the
population Of the most civilized
nations.
At the bottom Of its heart,
humanity is still afraid of these
vast shadows that fall through as
tronomic space, now mysteriously
hooding the moon, and now, when
the sun hides it's face at midday
behind an inky mask, sweeping
like a black phantom across the
earth.
Astronomy. known, is the most
enchanting of sciences unknown,
it is made the cource Of the great.
est superstitions. These are en-
couraged by systematic cultiva.
ton by soothsayers, who lind no
field so rich for sprouting their
noxious fantasies as that OF as
tronomy with it's infinite won
ders.
And to the shame of our educa-
tive system, literally millions OF
persons who have had the ordi-
nary schooling, are unable to de-
eide in these things, between the
claims of charlatanry and the
clear facts of science. This in
capacity even invades legislative
halls, and other places which
should be as temples Of refuge
against unreason.
The line of Milton's: Built in
tn eclipse. and rugged with curses
dark" expresses a feeling which
is almost as prevalent today as 1t
The Washington times., 1924-09-06

was two hundred years ago.
There are thousands who secretly
shrink from the supposed malign
admit, in the back of their minds,
the possibility that certain con-
functions and oppositions Of the
heavenly bodies may affect their
lives and well-being on earth,
making the admission because
they do not possess enough
knowledge of astronomy to de-
monstrate the futility of such
notions.
The innocent planet Mars, now
entertaining this curious.minded
world Of ours with an uncon-
monty close Through still far-ofO
view OF his engimatical features,
has had the ill luck to be chosen
by astrologers as the chief plan
etary representative Of the spirit
OF evil in the solar system, and
they have fastened their bad
name upon him so effectually
that a great many persons are as
uncertain about the character
and influence of Mars as Doctor
Samuel Johnson is said to have
been about the reality Of the Cock
Lane ghost.
Saturn is another "infortune"
Of astrology, and all the beauty
and marvel of his astonishing
rings is insufficient to dissuade
superstitious persons from being
worried over his aspects" If ne
chances to have occupied a Ger
tain position in the sky at the
moment Of their birth.
After all, these utilities which
flourish in the most brilliant cen
ters of our scientific civilization,
are not less absurd than the fan
cies OF African tribes excited by
the spectacle OF a lunar eclipse,
while those who entertain them
cannot have the excuse Of ig-
norance which could be claimed
for the inhabitants of the dark
continent.
Seen in the light of science
lunar eclipse is infinitely more
interesting than When feartully
glimpsed in the darkness Of ig-
norance. 1t shows us the moon
sharing the night with US, for we
and she are together in the same

1t is appropriate that a Repub-
