E0rLy-Risers Catch Glimpse
 or Phenomenon

Early risers this morning caught a glimpse of one of na- lures phenomenon--a partial eclipse of the moon. Weather conditions were particularly good for observance of the eclipse, but 1t was visible only for a very short time as the moon dropped behind the western horizon before the eclipse was over.
 The moon entered the dark portion of the earth's shadow just around 6 o'clock, although there were indications of the eclipse for some time prior to that. The moon was partially eclipsed when it set for this section of the country.
 The shadow just nicked the golden disc of the moon from Connecticut observation before the rising sun appeared over the horizon.
