a daily paper a few dayj ago, we
noticed this headline, "Teunia players

that there is one class of people who

TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE
MOON THI8 EVENINQ
If the clouds do not Intervene, the
people of thin region will bo treated
to one of the finest exhibition, thin
evening, that haa been put on the
boards for many a day; and it will
bo entirely free. There will be a
totaj ellipse of the moon under con
ditions more tlan usually favorable
for observation. The moon will enter
the penumbra, or pole shadow, about
R:r,. and Have It about 2:20; making
more than five and a half hours that
ihe moon will be more or less shaded.
The forward edge of the moon will
titer the umbra, or full shadow, j
about 9:f0, and the rear edge will
leave It about 1:15; making nearly
(free and a half hours that some part
of the moon will be In the full shadow
The whole body of the moon will bs
hidden for about 42 minutes, from
about 11:10 to about 11:55. It la a
very rare thing for the moon to be
totally or partially obscured for such
creat lengths of time, and this cir
cumstance gives an unusual oppor
tunity for observing the eclipse If only
the weal! er does not spoil It. If you
cannot attend the whole show, at
leant try to make your arrangements
to be on t and during the period of
totality, between 11 and 12. It la
not necessary to go to any expense
to get a reserved seat. Anywhere
from Alaska to I'atagonla will do.
