Superstitions About Eclipse Of Sun WASHINGTON (UPH-There's the sun disappears altogether for going to be an eclipse of the sun a brief period as though, like Saturday, and a lot of honest and Jonah, it had been swallowed, decent people are going to blame but not permanently. The moon theory is not par- it on the moon Inasmuch as these people Uhey're called astronomers) can foretell an eclipse to a fraction of a second, they may be right about what causes it. But in times not too far past large bodies of opinion have sup ported oilier theories. Mankind has always been aware that now and then something gets to nib bling on the sun. Occasionally, in broad daylight. ticularly modern. The early Ara wak people of British Guiana used to say. whenever an eclipse occurred, that "the sun and moon are fighting."

One scandalous notion was that the sun and moon were lovers, under the most illicit of circunv stances, who seized the opportU' nity of an eclipse to do what they snouldn t have. Modern science, of course, has killed all these notions. As far back as 1820 a scholarly textbook was assuring U.S. school children that although eclipses could be foretold, they couldn't foretell anything. Nobody, it was suggested, could dependably base forecasts of :lood, famine, war, pestilence. and general doom on eclipses of the sun. There have been a lot of eclipses since 1820, and a lot of floods, famines, wars but don't let's get superstitious at this late date.
