Board Browns on Idea of Special Compensation;
 Citations Given

Agreeing unanimously that accept ance of gifts would establish a dangerous precedent, the Board of Fire Commissioners yesterday order ed sums of money given three fire men by Dr. Dudley Deming to be returned to him.
 The money was given Pvt. Frank Moore, Lieut.. Eugene A. Legge, and Pvt. Frank Kelly for individual ser vices rendered at the blaze which destroyed Dr. Deming's home at Country club road last month.
 The matter had been under con- sideration by the commissioners for the past month. The dangerous pre- cedent feared by the board was that firemen might vie with each other in the future for rewards.
 Citations
 Chairman Finton J. Phelan at a meeting of the fire board last night cited two firemen for bravery at a recent fire" ."The board is distinctly edified by your actions," the chair man told Lieut.. James Mccoy ana Pvt. Fabian Laffin.
 "Your actions are a credit to the department," he said "and to the uniform your wear. You went through a sheet of flame to rescue a. man who is a cripple and who would have died if you had not saved him. You performed a won derful piece of work and the city should be proud of you and proud that 1t has such fine officers in it's fire department"
 The blaze was several weeks ago on Sheldon street.

Here the maximum phase will present narrow ring of light around the moor's shadow.
 The term "annular" comes from the Latin "annulus," meaning ring" A year ago there was an annular eclipse observed in Arctic regions, but there will not be an- other blackout of this kind in the U. s. until 1894.
 At the time of the eclipse the moon will be at about its greatest distance from the earth. Its shadow will appear too small to entirely cover the suns disk, so totahty will occur nowhere.
 SOUTHERN STATE TO
 SEE ECLIPSE BEST
 The longest time in which the moon will nearly cover the suns disk will be in southwestern Texas where the duration of the eclipse will be six minutes, 37.6 seconds &C., cording to calculations at the U. s. naval observatory in Washington. AS the eclipse progresses eastward along the annular band the dura- tion becomes shorter and will be only five minutes, 38.8 seconds at the line marked off the coast of Florida.
 The eclipse path travels eastward, crossing Southern California, north ern Mexico, Texas, Mississippi, Louisiana Alabama, Georgia and northern Florida. Chihuahua San Antonio, Austin, Pensacola, Talla- hassee, Savannah and Jacksonville are the principal cities where it is visible.
 The ring will at no time be per- fectly symmetrical. It will become more lopsided the farther the ob- server is located from the line.
 Immediately outside the an- nular zone the maximum phase will show thin resent of light. AS the distance from this zone in- reases the percentage of the i suns eclipsed diameter vii de- crease. At Minneapolis it will be 56 per cent; at Juneau, Alaska, only six per cent.
 Amateurs photographing this 1 eclipse with ordinary cameras will find very slow film, small l stops, and the shortest possible exposures will bring best results.

Because moons distance from earth varies by 30,000 miles dur. ing a month, total eclipses of the sun do not always occur when moon gets between sun and earth. Man at x will see ring around sun during annular eclipse. but would see total eclipse if moon were closer to earth. If the camera is allowed to stand undsturbed, and the sun is "shot" every five or 10 minutes, a series of images on one picture may be obtained.
 Simplest method for viewing the phenomenon is the use of smoked glass or photograph nega- tives. Exllent views may be ob- tained through field glasses, the front lenses of whih should be darkened.
