Well, next Monday morning wo will have the opportunity of witnessing ' another such event. The eclipse will l)o caused hy the interposi- J tion of the moon between the sun I and the earth.

The area of the eclipse will l?o 111><>ut 50 miles wide und Lan caster is only about four miles north-west of tho center of the area of totality. Tho lino oi the center of the urea of totality will be ftoout Elgin. Mr Otis Ashmorc gives the following directions, in Tho State, for milking observations: "Naked eye observations mav be made through smoked glass, and every one who wishes to witm-ss the phenomenon should prepare the glsiss beforehand. Two pieces of glass of the same size about three or four inches square will be most convenient. One piece should be smoked until the sun seen through it does not dazzle the eye, then a narrow hollow mat of thin cardboard is glued t the smoked surface while the other piece of glass is glued to the mat, in this way the smoked surface is protected from injury i in handling. Through such a 1 ghiss most of tho features of the j w,111 niiiy i u nrni m u yim v i satisfactory manner. No one who values his eves will risk them unprotected upon the bright ?Ii-k of tli" sun. During actual totali- j ty, however, there is but little j danger in looking at the eclipse directly with the unprotected eyes." | _ i B??'? tb? /) 1 ^in(' Haw Always Bcu^ri *"?"
