A Giit1MAT ASTRONOMIUAb leV lENT. Tatal Solar Fullpse Visible iii tle tJ,,I~edI States May 28--Time Sin Will Look Like a Hurning (andle. New York Commercial Advertisar. On May 28 of the present year we shall have an oppoitunity to see an uncooi mon astronomical occurrence. The sun will be totally eclipsed, and the event will be visible In parts of the United States. Occasionally, as we know, the moon panes between us and thu sun, eutting, otf the latter's light completely. This we call a solar collipe. Luna ecllpses, on the other hand, are caused by the moon's reaching such a position that the earth is directly between it ain the sun. The moon has no inherent brilliancy like the sun ; It shines only by retliecting solar light.: and when that light. is cut off, the moon simply "goes out." Lut the sun is self-illuni none, zrnd is In reality shining just the same when under eclipse as at any other time. In the former, the moon having suddenly ceased to receive or reflect light, the eclipse is observable wherever the moon, if uneclipsed, would be visible. lut at any given moment we can usually see the moon from one-half the earth's surface. Consequently, if a lumar eclipse takes place a majority of the earth's inhabi tants have an opportunity to observe, it and thus a lunar eclipse Is something that almost any person can remember to have seen. But it is very different with the sun. As we have said, he continues to give light when ectipsed, so that- It is only in places where the sun is actually covered uli by the moon that he will seem to be eclipsed. The moon under eclipse is like a candle that tias been extinguished ; it is dark from whatever side we look at it. But the eclipsed sun Is like a burring eandle', which will be Invisible to him only whose view ia obstructed by the interposition of some opaque object. That opaque object Is the imoon. But she is comparatively small and cannot render the sun totally invisible from more than a tiny circular or oval spot on the earth's surface. In the eclipse of May 28 that little spot wIll be only about 75 mIles wide ; and if the moon were not in motion the total p)hase of the eclipse could be seen no where else. But the moon Is travel Ing all the time through space in its orbit around the earth. So the little spot is moving, too, and changing its position gradually upon the earth's surface. Thus, Instead of a spot, we shall have a long strip or band about 75 miles wide ; and by waiting for the right moment, it will be possible to see * totality from any point within this band. The whole thing Is much at though there were a huge pencIl, with its point touching the earth, and hay .lng its other end pivoted to the sun. Il 'the moving moon were then also at tached to this pencil somewhere near the point, she would draw the penci along, and the point would trace out the eclipse path on our earth. Any one standing In that path could. thet look along the pencil, and at the pro per moment see the moon coverIng the sun and obscuring the light. in p)lacci * situated near this path of totality, ai * It is called, we shall be able to see tht eclipse, but not as a total one. i''o such places the moon will cover thi sun only in part so that. seome of hi brilliant surface will remain in sight The amount of obscuration always de peed. upon the observer 's nearness t< the totality line. The nearer he Is the more nearly total the eclipse wil be. On Mlay.28thjhe path of totality be gins in the Pacific ocean just west c Mexio. There the point of the hug< * .pencil. we have imagined fi-rst touchel our - arth. it then passes eastwar< across Mexico, and entering the Unite< * States near Now Orleans, proceeds k a northeasterly direction until it leavel the centinent close to Norfolk, Va Trhen it crosses the Atlantic, touche Portugal, and afterward pasees acresi Northern Africa, leaving the eartl tinally near the northern end of the Rted sea. In this country the cities c New Orleans, La., Mobile, Ala., Mont gomnery, Ala., 1ileigh, N. C., and Nor folk, Va., are all on the totality path At New Orlearns the sun will be coml pletely covered at 7:30 e. in., while a Norfolk this will not happen until 8:5; a. m.

Total sola' eclptises aliliea cqunally to the general Iubti c aud ti the professional astronomer. On th< one hand. they present the moA -t perb spectacle withiun the whole rangi of astronony : and on the oth'er, the, olfer the hbt opportutnity to StIldy t:n mysterious structure and cornpqitiot of our sun. Oneof the things Lo whil atronoiers attach importance is it accurate observation of the Limtiet: 0 b~eg i tini t) and ending of the eclip It is Cacy to See t-hat the Uathetmatica consideration upon which are basiec our theories of lunar motion will bt put to a very sv'evert test in predietinC the exact instant when the sun wilt h covered up by the moon. If observa ion agrees wiitn prediction, we haive the strougest corroborative evidenc of the correctntess of our theory and o out numerical calculations. tia th< other hand, if it he found that-te pre dictions are slight-ly in error, th anount of that error can be determinet by observation, and mnathemnatkia theory thus corrected fot' the benctit o flutr predictions. A Lhougi it iiu knowledge in this department of as tronomy has reached a very high bt,at< of perfection, It is a fact that we can not predict the times of cecl!pse toda3 without a possibility of error amtnount Ing to several seconds. Part of thi: error is due no doubt; to insullilcieni knowledge of the moon's size, or to the possibility that contact between sur and moon may occur at a very irregu lar or inountainous part of the Inunat surface. 3ut each eclipse-tends to ii prove our informatiou and make out .mathematical theories more nerfect. .The greates', Interest, however, cen ters about the )hysical observation: possible during : total eclipse. Outi Sun is not merely the blazing, brilliant luminous globe we. see every day ' the heavens. The liery center bal has a vast outer afpendagc, stretch ing millions of mites into space--th< delicately tinted, tenuous, filmy, un explained corona. It is the coronm that makes a total eclipse so beautiful regarded mer'ely as a spectacle to be seen and enjoyed. its lIght is mudt fainter than that of the sun ; we cat see It only when the later is complete ly obscured. At all other times tho brIght, light, of the central ball ilumi nates the aIr surrounding our earth si as to make it far' s.uperior in hbright ness to the faint corona ; and observeri looking perforce through this illumi natted aIr cannot distinguiish the deal cate tracery of the cor'ona itself. Ilu when the advancing edge of1 the moot slowly covet's the sun's central disc until at last, only a natrrow sickle shaped p)lco is left, the waiting as tronomers have a few moments of Irn tense expectation. TIhe sickle narrow gradually ;but a mere thread is left yet even that is gulte sullicient ti mask the coron'a. Then, suddenly, at is covered.

Chicago Tlimce-Hlerald. - A total eclipse of the sun is al riounced as the most Important colii 2 tial phenomenon of 1900, and althoug the frequeney with whIch solar totalit occurs and our Ioresent scIentIfic knoi ledge have robbed It of the mystet and even the teY'ror which former accompanied it great valuein astronor teal ci rcles is given ta t i'Ou. en. Unfortunately there is a doubt as to th< totality being visible in America. thit leading astronomners locating it it Sipain, and naiming 1925 as thu date 0 at total solar eclipso iI the Unitet States. Be this as it may, elaboratt preparations are to be made for the oe currenco on May 28th, when the South erin railway will run an eclipse trait froin New Orleans to Norfolk, am] " another epoub will be accentuated b3 progression in science. AmonLg the elegant nodern distinctions of railway travel smoked glass will be a leading feature, and the only drawback anti cipated will be a cloudy sky or a total absence of the exgpected eclipse. The earliest records of solar eclipsce are ascribed to Confucius. and of thest three wero total, and they are nol mentioned as sclentilic facts. but al bad omens. lie recorded that the total eclipse WL greeted as such phenomena t are received at the present timo hv the Chinese people, with the beatinlg of gongs, wild cries and a savage up roar, all t f w1hich is supposed to driv off the evil mnonste' who is " eating u * the friendly sun." One of the eclipses of antiquity wa fatmous for two events. One was that it was foretold by an astrologer of Lth philosophical school of the titne, 547 B. C., and its alarming appearance stopiped a battlo between the Lydianl and the Medes. The sudden darknese convinced the coibatants that the gods weieC wroth and they at One ceased lghting. The prophets took advantage of their own ignorance and the terrors of tl. people to predict direful things, which. in many cases being the resuilt of uinforitnate cond i tions--took place, adding to their terror of the sill and inspiring a new revert e for the powet s of the prophet. Two famous eclipses occurred in Europi1 during the ninth century. A total ell hise3 in A. 1). 810 frightined E lmperor Ilouis of Ilavaria to decath and destroyed his kingdom. ither I eclipses had the samlie elfeet on rulers. Wh ich was so disastrous that some wi ; mer. among those in power gave oit. the death of the king as an event of such moment that the heave ns, shocked at the slddetnniess iof the fatality. went into niourfliie. In 171.71, in May, an ecliplv of the sunl Wias predicted in I oniimg hy a oamph1let. " The BIlack Day. or 'the 'rospect of i).uomsday."

The second eclipso of tile year occurred in December and was visible in South America. On more than one occasion in his tory there is a record of the special darikness whb ich accom panies an eclipse, disclosing the preseneo of a comet, but the eclipse of IS2 was the lirtt time that. a comet wats photograh1ed by the astronomoers. The eclipse was oseorv ed by astronomers representing Eog lnd, ''rance and Italy. The tot'al eclipse of May, l8s3, had soime special dramatic features about it. To begin with, the duration was ulluually long : nearly live and a half in minuites. 'The greatest du ration of totality was six and a half minutes, re cordeu in Great Britain August 2t1 1 186 Aniother peul'aor feature w ar that thbis eclipse was only visible in the middle of the l 'acific ocean. l''ortu nately for the cause of science, a group Iof coral islands lay in its neighbor hooed. America, England, li'ranice, ltaly and Australia were represenlted. Duringz the total eclipse of the su n, Auizust 7, l8ti9, which was visible in Alaitka, the Indians of the Chilicat river were greatly alarmed. Pro fessor B3erijamin 1l'rice of the United3c Statet coa.st suirvey, had gone w ith a party to A laskai to obiserve andi reoi)rt the cciilpse and hadl warned the I n dians, hut they hiao refuised to believe him until the sur. was half obscured. -L'Then they all d isap pe ared and not a -sou)nd was neard th roughout thei r a village.

The opgin-' lotn was wrlttnni h1) .futton4 WIllnrd. Whether in recognition of the rule of all tribunals of last resort to touch no questlona except, such as necessarily arise on the recoi d, or from a conscious ness that *ine conclislon involved wad at vari#Ance with deep-rooted ideas of t he rE lations of the appellate court, to tthat below, or from whatever cause, the opiniot, in State vs. Halley failed to I"ip'eess tLe har in geueral with the main proposition which was therein etmibodied. So much was this the case that one of the leading lawyers of South Carolina, In 179, made afildavit that he himself and, as he verily be lieved, the bar in general, had thought ill, to the decision in Brickman vs. Itail road, pu blished In that year, that the law was othe than as it was in thie, latter case declared. The two tiecisions were to the same general c 11ect-that in cases at law questions of fact were not reviewable by the btupremetl court. The differenet, was that the opinion in Brickman's case was written by Chief Justlec Moses, a master of clear, stroig judicial ItIglilsh, whilst, Judge Willard's style was involved, mecta physical andI soimetimes obscure. But tihe bet't, tribute to .1udge Willard is tlhat in a time when corruption was Widebpread, when dishonesty was at a preilinim, when (,iheal misconduct was proiltable, he kept his ermine puro.
