tai, in some of the largest cities in
the Unitede States, including Boston,
Providence, Albany, Philadelphia,
Baltimore, Washington and Chicago.
Even as far south as New Orleans,
and as far west as st. Louis and
Omaha, the partial eclipse viii be
large.
From Lake Erie Eastward
In most of the central states the
sun will rise more or less eclipsed,
but from Lake Erie eastward. all of
the eclipse will take place after the
sun has risen.
The total eclipse in New York City
will take place about 9:1O A. NJ. and
the time Of the greatest eclipse for
most of the cities in the east that
keep Eastern Standard Time will
vary but few minutes from this
time. The partial eclipse will begin
about eight o'clock in the same sec
ton, and the eclipse will be over
about half-past ten.
When the eclipse becomes total.
the brighter stars and planets ap-
pear and also the beautiful solar CO.
roma that the astronomer is so anx-
ious to study. This is magnificent
halo of pearS light extending to a
great distance from the sun and diff
ferent in shape and appearance at
every eclipse. 1t is never visible ex-
cept during a total solar eclipse and
can be studied only at that time,
because its light is so faint that the
glare of sunlight in the daytime
hides it from view 1t is only when
the moon obligingly comes between
sun and earth and shuts out the light
of the sun that the corona shines
forth III all its wonderful beauty.
All those who find themselves
within the path of total eclipse
should look out for the shadowy
bands, wavy bands of light and
shade that fit over the landscape and
buildings just before and after the
total eclipse. Also, they should look
out for the interesting phenomenon
known as "Bailey's Beads" which
are seen as the thin, thread-like solar
crescent breaks up into beads OF
light as the total eclipse is about to
begin, and which are seen again Just
as it ends.
! Look also for the scarlet solar
prominence during the total eclipse
which are flames of glowing gases of
hydrogen and helium rising from the
hidden surface of the moon to
heights of thousands of miles and
visible beyond the edge of the moon
in queer forms and shapes.
The brighter stars and planets APP
pear during the total eclipse, and
even little before and after it. The
three planets, Venus, Mercury and
Jupiter, should be seen in close
group some distance to the south
west of the sun. But above all else
do not fail to make the most of your
opportunities to observe the wonder
full and mysterious corona which
can never be seen except when the
sun is totally eclipsed and which very
few people ever have the good for
tune to see.
Although the event of this one
day dwarfs all others by comparison
in the January skies, in midwinter
evening skies are at the best and
there are more brilliant stars in view
than at any other time of the year.
Good sailing is ahead for industry

Russia is seeking a loan of ESQ

Cold waves come on each others
heels, and we hope some of them get
stepped on.
This is the season of the year when
the "opva spaces" of fiction lack
their appeal.
