6 Something About the Com-; j ing Lunar Eclipse. iiii Local astrouomers are jtreatlv ' II interested in the coaiihL' total II eclipse of the moon, which oc- Ir curs on the eveniup of Thure- II day Juue, 3. The phenomena II may be observed all over the II contineut if the sky is clear. II In thiB section the rise II ot the moon will be almost || uviiuaii nua me peopis may watch the shadow of the earth gradually steal oyer the lunar body. But turtber in the conti neut, probably on the other side offche Mississippi, the inhab: will first see an odd looking disc of a faint reddish color rise from the east. When the moon rises here only a narrow portion of it will be observed. Gradually it will enter deeper and deeper iuto the earth's shadow nntil the moon gives no light and is barey ly perceptible. This year the moon does not enter into the heart ot the earth's / shadow, so there will not be a ^ black eclipse. The moon however, will be in the shadow <?t the earth tor over an hour and practically the only light from the heavens will be that of the stars. The reason why the moon will be invisible is the influence ol / the earth's atmosphere, which bends the sun's rays at the edge-" of ^illuminated hemispheres of our planet and throws on the moon a taint glow, generally of a red copper hue. It results trom the absorption in our atmosphere * ot the green, blue and violet rays in the sun's light while the red rays pass through it. It is \ much the eamo at the sunset glow, though infinitely more faint. | As the phenomenon of the j j * eclipse develops, the children s will be able to see lor themselves 4 the truth ol (lie statement they! learned from their geographies. \ An eclipse of the sun will be ! witnessed a fortnight la'er, on Thursday, June 17, shortly be- ! lore 6unset. The only effect' that it will have is to send the ! chickens to roost an hour or two : earlier. The lunar eclipse is precisely the same as that which saved the lives of Columbus and his party in the isle of Jamacia in the year 1504. The natives relused them food. Columbus, knowing that the eclipse was due, told them thf ' Cod was an-: gry because of the^ inhospitali- ' ! ty and would take away the' j J ?' the naoon.

' white angels" to bring back Their moon. Columbus handed it back in about an hour. The earliest account ol an eclipse was discovered in the1 tomb of a Chinese emperor. The date has been tixed by chronolopists as January 26. 11 #6 B. C. ?Exchange. Organ and i Piano Bargains. Some pood K(|iiaro Pianos from $45 to $75. Mori pood used Or- l||l pans from S2.~> to $45.
