the horizon than they actually are
by an amount which is greatest for
bodies near the horizon. When the
sun or moon or a star seems to be
on the horizon-that is. rising or set
ting-it Is really little more than
half a degree below the horizon; this
is a little more than the diameter
Of the sun or moon. 1t requires
about two and a half minutes for the
sun or moon to rise or set, as that is
the interval between the times that
the upper and lower edges pass the
horizon. The times of rising or set
ting refer to the time at which the
upper edge is first seen in rising or
last seen in setting. Hence the moon
is really entirely below the horizon
when it appears to have fully risen,
and the sun also is really entirely
below the horizon when its lower
edge touches the horizon. Hence the
earth is between the two under these
conditions. To observe the above
phenomenon one must be able to see
not merely down to the buildings and
trees which form the sensible horizon.
but down to the true horizon formed
by a horizontal plane through the
eye. If the observer is on a high
spot, he may see below his true hori-
zon, and this is an advantage. The
same phenomenon will be seen else
where at sunset, but times will vary
with the place.
Two Other Eclipses.
There is another eclipse of the sun
this year, July 20, visible only in the
Southern Pacific Ocean. It is an an
nual eclipse. There is also another
partial eclipse of the moon on Au
gust 4. the beginning Of which will
be visible in Western United States
No other eclipses occur this year.
On the evening Of February there
will be an occultation Of the bright
star Aldebran by the moon; that is,
the moon passes between us and the
star and hides 1t. This is the star
at A, figure /. 1t is the brightest
star ever 'occulted by the moon. AS

INDIANS CHERISHED ROBE.
Consecrated to Great Spirit and
Hung on Pole Out of Touch.
From the Pittsburgh Sun.

From the Pittsburgh Sun.
In the old days Indians cherished
the white buffalo robe as almost be-
yond price. In 1892 or 1888 the Man
dams. hearing that the Blackfeet at
the mouth OF the Yellowstone had a
white buffalo robe, sent a delegation
with eight horses and with trading
goods the 200 miles to procure the
robe II possible.
The delegation left the horses and
the goods and returned afoot with the
robe. This was consecrated to the
Great Spirit and hung upon a pole,
out of touch, as powerful medicine.
1t Is said that not one in 100 900 buff
falo was white. Even at that, the
color was likely to be yellowish
white. and the robe was known by
the plainsmen as a "buckskin" robe.
The pure white robe scarcely existed

The chief astronomical event of the
month. at least for those who can see
II, is the partial eclipse of the moon
which occurs February 8. On Janu-
airy "a the moon passed between the
earth and the sun and caused an
eclipse of the sun. 1t was then new
moon. BY February the moon will
have moved around the earth until
1t is full moon in the opposite d.
rection from the sun and the earth
Is between 1t and the sun. The earth
then shuts OFF the sunlight, which
causes the moon to shine, and 1t be-
comes eclipsed. The conditions of
the eclipse are pictured In figure 2.
The large dark circular area repre-
sents the cross section of the earth's
shadow at the distance of the moon.
This shadow moves as the earth
moves around the sun. The moon
in Its revolution about the earth
overtakeS the shadow in the position
at sos pm. eastern standard time.
At 4:42 the maximum eclipse occurs
in position 2. At that time three
quarters Of the moons diameter will
be immersed in the shadow, and as
the moon Is never entirely within the
shadow, the eclipse Is never total.
At 6:15 the moon is in position and
the eclipse then ends.
The appearance of the eclipse OF
the sun on January "a was very diff
ferent from different places. AT some
places 1t could be seen as a total
eclipse; at others, only partial phases
could be seen, but in eclipses of the
noon every one who sees the eclipse
sees It alike and at the same time.
For observers in the United States
the moon will not have risen when
the eclipse begins, and for all west
ern parts, the eclipse will be entirely
over before the moon has risen. At
Philadelphia the moon rises at 5:24.
From that time until 6:15 the moon
will be seen in eclipse, but close to
the horizon. At Philadelphia the
sun sets at 5:28. Here, then, from
SPA to 5:2S we have a condition
which at first thought seems i'm
possible-the moon eclipsed with the
sun in sight. We stated that 1t is
because the earth is between the
moon and the sun that we have an
eclipse. How can the earth be be-
tween the sun and the moon when
both bodies are above the horizon?
1t is the result OF the bending of
light rays in the earths atmosphere
called refraction. The rays of light
from the sun and moon do not come
to US in straight lines. This refrac-
ton of the light causes all heavenly
bodies to appear to he higher above

The only naked eye planet now WIS.,
ible in the early evening Is Mars. Its
position on the first and last days Of
the month are indicated on figure /.
The planet is Of the first magnitude,
only a twelfth as bright as 1t was
last Summer. The position OF Nep-
tune, which cannot be seen with the
naked eye. is also marked. Venus
and Jupiter may be seen in the East
just before sunrise. They are in the
constellation Sagittarius. Saturn is
in Libra, and is visible late in the
night. Uranus, which Is not visible to
the naked eye, is in Pisces. 1t may
be seen low in the West in the early
evening.

The sky is more beautiful in the
early evening of February than in
any other month of the year.
The discussion of the eclipse last
month did not leave sufficient space
for a discussion of what is expected
during the year. The eclipse Of last
month was the most important event
of the year. There are no other out
standing or very unusual events ex-
pected. There is always the posi-
bility of the occurrence of things
which cannot be predicted, such as
the appearance OF bright comets or
new stars.
