anee, superstition, and fear, were not uncommon. If. the Yankee in King Arthur,s court had not been able, apparently. to blot out the sun, he would have been burned at the stake. |, Ancient. history records that in the midstf.of battle, an eclipse oc- cured and the contendtng armies not only stopped fighting but peace was immediately declared. What must have been the fear of those men whose whole lives were spent fighting, to make them stop fight- ling and to declare peace. In ancient China where human life has always been valued very lightly, two astronomers were be- headed because of an eclipse. They should have taken proper steps to prevent that evil omen with its an- ticipated train of dire results. Even today although we know
 what causes an eclipse and are not torn by superstitious fears; yet, the most plflegmatic person cannot throw off that feeling of awe, that
 overpowering apprehension when he sees the shadow of the moon
 sweeping down upon him with such frightful velocity. It is small won-
 der that the animals in the field and the birds in the air think that night has suddenly come upon
 them. The animals either lie down l in the fields for the night or start
 for the barn, and the birds, with
 little startled chirps,s fly swiftly to their nests.
 And then all too quickly the won- derful spectacle is over, the sun is again respondent in all it's glory hand the whole world renews it's in-
 terest in it's own puny affairs. Take an orange or ball and
 holding 1t in front of you at arm's length, shut one eye and look at
 some large building in the dis tance.
 You will be surprised to see how
 much Of the large building Is hid
 den behind the orange or ball.
 That is exactly what happens dur ing an eclipse. The orange or ball
 is the moon, the distant building
 Is the sun and your eye IS the
 earth. N ~ ~
 If you are in position on the
 earth's surface where the eclipse
 is total. the moon will completely
 blot out the sun. It wiu ecipse

 owing to the relative sizes of the
 sun, moon and earth, and the great
 distances which separate them. the
 path of totality on the earth's sur face Is relatively very narrow. only about one hundred miles when compared with ninety-three million miles, the distance of the sun from the earth.
 Now to continue my simple des- cription of the eclipse. Take air | the youngsters into room. place an electric light at one end of . table and hold, the orange or ball, on the end of a stick at the other end. Have some one turn out all the iighte in the room except the single light at the other end or

 After much arguing Brown agreed to give up the $12.50 check. Brown and his wife left the court room, apparently on good terms once more.
 Judge Yehle was surprised a few moments later to see Mrs Brown burst breathlessly into the court room with the announcement that her husband had changed his mind about surrendering the check.
 For the second time that day Brown was haled into police court.
 "Where's that pay check?" asked the judge. :.
