T H E MAN WHO WAS PEART By M Q UAD Copyright, U U . by Associateti L it erary l*r»M C O P P ER P LA T E ENGRAVING. A T O T A L SOLAfT EC LIP S E . It Is • Very Impressive and Most W on derful Spectacle, One o f the most lieautlfui and inter esting sights to lie seen is an eclipse o f the suu. It is quite a remarkable flict that the sun Is 100 times as broad as the uioou and at (he same time is about 400 times as far away. So to us they npi>enr to be the same sixe. A total eclipse o f ¿ho suu is a very Impressive and wonderful sight, says Harold \V. Clark lu Farm and Home. As the tim e o f the total eclipse draws near the darkness Increase«. About ten minutes before totality the darkness can almost be felt. Men's faces show n copper color, which makes them lock ghastly, birds oeaso their songs and go to roost. Flowers Close, and an aw ful stllluess rests upon all the face o f Nature. The tern perature falls and dew ap|>ears I it aw ay to the w o t we sv, the shadow o f the moon coming with almost torri fyin g swiftness. It comes at the rate o f 1.000 miles an hour and pounces U]ion us so suddenly that we are star tied. Looking at the sun. we see It wholly covered by the moon, but surrounded by a brilliant light that tlnshes out all arouud It. This is the corona and Is seen only during total eclipses. The eclipse lasts only for four or five min ntes. and then the shadow o f the moon passes ns, aud we can see the suu again. I f w e should ever tie so fortunate as to get a chance to see a total solar eclipse w e should count ourselves lucky Indeed. It would be worth g o ing many miles to see.
