Any one who follows her til roi ic h a sufiiciciit limn ber of lunation- will detect not only these but oller interesting difieren- j ces, ami will notice that she never "fulls" twice in the -ame part of the , sky, because she is constantly chang- J ing her position hy rising or falling i from night to night, thus passing, as it were, every mouth, throng!: many degrees id" north and south declina tion. And it will be furthcrobservoil that, in obedience to .some law, the nu?.ci :- un.i , becomes full at or neai li. ?...int as she hangs over i !.-? S UM i,. m liori/.on, and in our Winter- i: I.LI- highest point over our heads, thus providentially alford i n g light to that pole, for the time hoing, most in need of it. Au eclipse ol' the sun visible to us can occur only when the moon is new, that is, when she pusses exactly between us and the sun, just as one might pass his clenched hand from right to left between his face ami a lighted lamp. Now, if an eclipse happen when she is at her least distance, 220,000 miles, from us, and, therefore apparently greatest in diameter, tho apex or point, of her shadow-cone will conic in contact with thc surface of tho earth, and be brok en off to tho extent of some thousands of miles. If, however, ono happens when thc moon is at her greatest dis tance, 202,11110 miles from us, and, therefore, apparently least in diame ter, the apex of the shadow will puss over our heads at a distance of many thousands of miles, and .somewhat af ter the fushiou of a balloon Heating hy at a considerable height. In the hist instance, thc eclipse will bc total along -tho path more or less curved, over which tho broken shadow travels, because the moou will be large enough I to hide thc sun. In the second, the eclipse will be annular, because the jnoou will have been, by her distance, apparently diminished to that degree that at no instant while she is cross ing tho solar disk, can sho completely obscure it, for around her coal-black body will blaze a ring of tho white-hot sun. Of the stupendous scale of total .eclipses, moon-cast shadow-appari tions arc impressive and awful to thc last degree; they aro phenomena neve ? forgotten by those w?u? .seo theiu. Than Prof. Langley there is no better .authority, ho having observed three. No wonder ho declares that repetition docs not dull the interest, and that a total eclipse of tho sun is worth a journey round tho world to behold. For tho purposo of obaorving theso phenomena, scientific men and women do not hesitate, literally, to go to tho ends of thc earth. K-speoially prom ising eclipses have found enthusiastic observers ou thc steppes of Russia, the wastes of Asia, the inhospitable shores of Africa, thc peaks of the Andes, thc lonely rocks in mid-Pacif ic. Thc total phase is the only por tion of a solar eclipse of tho slightest value to astronomers or solar physi cists, or, indeed, of real interest to the mere sight-seer, and this phase, under thc best possible conditions, cannot at any ono place last so long as eight minutes; commonly, the duration docs not exceed three minutes. Not withstanding this, and thc chance of complete failure, owing to the pres ence of clouds, costly expeditious aro from year to year fitted out by govern ments, observatories, societies and private munificence, and tho arduous duties devolving upon them arc un grudgingly assumed by men cager to glean from tho sky every vestige of information obtainable by telescope, spectroscope and camera during the few precious moments that tho obscu ration of the sun is sufficiently com pleto to allow oritical examination to be made of the solar appendages, visi ble to man only when daylight has ?been thus temporarily turned into night. Readers of the Scientific American will, therefore, readily ap . preoiate the keen interest with which ooientific men and women on this con tinent Are looking forward to the next total eolipae, which, most fortunately )i: Till?

The best positions will be found in thc I moon's path from tin; Appalachian highlands on to the Atlantic coast. Sonic of these have already boen se lected hy professional astronomers, who have chosen localities likely to bc most free from cloud. These ladies and gentlemen will take care to he on tin- ground several days in advance, so as to arraniro their instruments and illili their stairs to the last degree of thoroughness and precision. No doubt thc unprofessional men and women who will be present on eclipse day will number many thousands. Well equipped parties will go South and Mast from all parts ol' the continent, not excepting Canada. At. least one ollie ?al party will come out from lang land, while other parties from that and other countries will go to places in Ku rope and Africa. The eclipse will he total along a path extending from a point near the Southern end of Lower California, across Mexico, the United States, the Atlantic, twice cut ting the path of ocean travel, Portu gal, Spain, Algiers and Egypt. Out side ol' this path thc eclipse will, some time during the day, be more or less partial to observers from the North Pole to thc river Amazon and from the central Pacilic Ocean to the Ked Sea. On thc 28til of May next, sometime after local sunrise, thc round, black shadow of the moon, like a great arm will sweep in out of space, coming in contact with tho earth near thc Hevil la (iigedo Islands in the Pacific Ocean, about five hundred miles south and west of California. With thc tremendous initial velocity of about one hundred miles a minute, thc shadow-cone will rush toward tho mainland and coter Mexico near Cape Corrieiit.es. In eight minutes it shall have crossed tho Rocky Mountains, where, Hying from peak to peak and from valloy to valley, tho spectacle must bc sublime, though lasting but thirty seoonds. By 7:30 Central Standard timo (or 8:30 Eastern Stan dard time) it shall have crossed the Gulf near thc mouth of the Rio Orando and plunged Now Orleans into sepul chral gloom. For tho purpose of anticipation and Hi".dy, let us imagino ourselves to be members of a group of enthusiastic men, women and youths, not necessa rily scientiho or practiced observers, only anxious to see everything possi ble. Wo should bo posted upon the highest possible eminence, so as not to miss thc tremendous impressions duo to tho sudden rushing upon us of thc stupendous shadow. We ought to bo in tho coater cf the ground over which the shadow will pass. If this position be near Now Orleans, wo shall have totality for seventy-sovon seo onds. If wo are at Union Point, Greene County, Georgir, the center of tho path in the United States, wo shall have darkness for ninety-two seconds. If wc aro near thc Atlantio coast, not far south of the city of Norfolk, wc shall have ono hundred and fivo seconds for observation. Let us assume that wo have brought with us opera and field glasses, telescopes, spectroscopes, barometers, thermome ters, and well regulated timepieces, set to Washington, Greenwich, and lo cal times. Of course, we have note books, pads of drawing-paper, card board, white and blackened, upon I which bavo been laid down black disks, around which our artistic mem bers, by rapid sketching with colored chalks, may draw tho phenomena we shall sec. Wo have oandles and lan terns, tho latter for use if the wind arise. Of oourse, we havo cameras and plates of various speeds and den sities of coating. We have soon the beautiful photographs taken on the 22d of January, 1898, in India, by Mrs. E. W. Maunder, with a small camera having a one and one-half lens, nine inches in foous, photographs duo entirely to her own conception of what might be accomplished with such a camera, and whioh have proved of soientifio value.

Ia'rom our calculations, we know when the various e intacts will occur. The sun is about three hours high, and the .-ky clear. We are told that the edge of the lunar di-k is all but touching the edge of tho sun, but we cannot detect the presence of our Sat ellit'-. It has been explained tous that the moon is really moving toward the Mast and at the rate of about a half mile per second, that the surface of the carib is carrying us toward the Mast at the speed of about twelve miles pei minute, and that the shad ow is approaching us from tho West at the velocity ol' nearly one mile a second. During the hour and twelve minnies which must elapse between the first detected cutting by the moon into thc sun's limb and totality, we j shall have ample opportunity to ob serve and draw sun-spots and faeulae, if any, to note down our impressions, to estimate thc effect thc gradual ex tinction of the direct solar rays is having upon objects around us, and the falling of the mercury in the ther mometers. As totality approaches we should be on the alert for the shadow bands which arc usually present in be wildering array for a few moments be fore the face of the sun is hidden, pulsating, it is said, in a maimer to suggest the throes of nature in disso lution, and as if conscious of impend ing disaster. Nor should we forget to notice the effects of increasing twi light upon animals, birds, insects and flowers. On such occasions domestic fowls go to roost, birds return to their nests, butterflies "act as if drunk," deer run about iti alarm, and flowers, such as crocus, tulips, anemones, gen tians, pepatica, pimpernels, wood sor rel and wild geranium close, aud a pe culiar hush falls upou everything. At this moment attention must be given to the sun, or what is left of it, forwc must see the splendid phenomena known as Baily's Beads, visible foran instant or two as thc moou's advanc ing edge closes in upon the easterr edge of the sun, but visible again when the western edge of the moon moves forward just enough to allow thc solar rays to glint around at ut through the valleys among thc luuai mountains. But wbon warned by our director every eye must bo turned to the West for whatever else we succeed in doing we must not fail to see the lunai shadow as it approaches. We ma] not live long enough to witness anoth er eclipse under such auspices. Le us make thc most of this. Forbes who observed at Turin, the tota eclipse of 1812, said that he was con founded by tho awful velocity of th shadow, which swept toward him fron the Alps, that he felt as if the grea building upon which he was standin, swayed beneath him and began to fal over in the direction of the comin gloom. The rapidity of its motio and its blaok intensity produoed th sensation that something material wa flying over tho earth at a speed "poi fectly frightful," and he involuntari ly listened for the rushing noise of mighty wind. Airy describes as "ver awful" a shadow retreating awa among tho hills of Northern Spait Other writers aro no loss dramatic i their accounts of these phonomeni aud the tremendous impression the create. But when the shadow hi come, and after we have recovered t some degree from the effects of shool and of tho sudden darkness into whic we have been plunged, wo must riv our atteution upon tho sun, or rath upon tho moon, around whose blai disk by this time will havo appear? thu splendid phenomena associ?t* with a total solar eclipse, seen in a its majesty.- Striking indeed is tl almost instantaneous substitution, in a dissolving lantern, of one pictu for another, tho one showing the si with the blackened sun like a bl upon it, the other showing {he si suddenly draped in the mantle night, upon whose sable bosom gb planet, star and ooronal halo, and al roseate jets of incandescent gaseo matter leaping upward from and fa ing baokupon the sun. Now we photograph, sk ot oh a oolor most assiduously, not losing single seoond. Wo lay down the ] sitions of planets, comet?, if any, a i i' lui -lit. .'tars.

Wc look tostiu whether Aldebaran i> able i<? make it,.i presence known by shining through thc gauzy structure of the corona, and how many ni' thc bright star- in Orion am! other constellations can bc detect ed. We glance about thc horizon and note thc rich color-tones, ranging from black, in the zenith, through browns, purples, crimsons, and reds, to yellow lying along thc rough sky line thirty miles away, where the sun is -till shining, though with a partially hidden disk. We notice tl?'- ashy tints around Us, rcl'gciu.d j in our own faces, lint a sudden glow alon_' thc western edge of thc moon warns tia that t Uality bas gone like a Hash, and that we have time only for a quickly exp ?sod pho tographic plate or two, and for watch i'.rj another lovely dissolving view, the fading nut of night before the all conquering ?lay. Almost instantly thc landscape brightens and becomes familiar. Not until now, i- we feel lin- wai nilli of the solar ray-, did we suspect a passing chili. New life ? throbs everywhere. Thc black lunar shadow has swept majestically by us and is already out oil thc Atlantic, rushing toward Europe. Its vast track behind us is sprinkled with thousands of people, spell-bound by the wondrous vision vuiich>afcd them by Nature, who, for a moment, as it were, has lifted but a corner of her robe and allowed them to gaze upon glories, thc impressions of which will nc\cr fade from memory. Farming in Lurope und in America. Mach nation has something to learn of other nations, as each fanner has something to learn of his neighbor. Kurope is greatly interested in our various experiments and in our ag ricultural bureau, and our agents are carefully observing the improvements going on abroad. Prof. W. M. Hayes, who has been in Kuropc this summer observing the agricultural schools abroad, says: "Germany is far ahead of us in forestry schools aud in a sensible forestry system. Her great Forestry School at Ebcrswaldc, in the pine regions north of Berlin, and the forests managed by its professors, are so well developed that our young men should go there to complete their forestry education. Germany's other experiment stations are each much narrower in their scope than ours, but some of them aro doing good work. At Bremen, for instance, there is a station devoted wholly to thc study of peat lands." Compariug our agricultural schools with those of Europe, the Professor Bays: "Wc have more money and improve ment is going on at a more rapid rate here. lu some things a few of their older institutions have done more, but we are ahead io most things, and our organization is ou a broader plan, so we shall soon leave them far be hind. America's experiment stations and colleges are building up such a vast science of agriculture as has not been dreamed of elsewhere. Our col leges each have several directors of experiments, while in Europe each has onlyono direotor with assistants." Of the development of the sugar beet Prof. Hayes says: "The breeding of sugar beet seed is the most scientific breeding done in the world. Sugar beets now contain more than twice as much sugar per acre as forty years ago. One firm employs two hundred people for two months in the winter analyzing mother beets for the next year's seed crop." This is interesting in itself, and it shows, moreover, what may be done with other crops; with cotton, with wheat, with ooro, with berries, torna ; - --J-?-J_t_ _0 il._:? tuca nuu various piuuuuta ut nua DUH. Furthermore, all this gives new interest and new dignity to life on the farm. The world must be fed and fed each generation more abundantly. To do this work well the farmer must put hiB mind as well as his strength into his work, and try oaoh year to show some advance in knowledge. Home and Fann.

I In Lil? li".it of passion Robert had dono something that liewa- ashamed nf and sorry for after tho excitement. "I wish I hadn't let my temper get away with my good sense," he said, "hut it's doue and can't be undone." "Hut isn't there noway to over come tlie effect nf wrongdoing to a great extent?" asked a voice in the heart. "How?" asked Robert. "Ry owning to noe's blame in the matter," answered the voice. "Con fessing one's fault does much to set w?-oig right. Try it." Now, Robert was v.-ry much iike the re-t ?d' us; he hated tn admit that he was in fault. "I'm winni.'; forgive me," i.- a hard thing to say. lint tie ii?.?re he though the matter over the more he felt that le- ought to -ay jus; that. " li s the* right thing to do." le- tobi himself. "If I know what's right, and don't do it, I'm a moral coward. I'll do it." So he went tn tin.- om' he had wrong ed aiel confessed his fault frankly. The result was that the two 'noys were better friends than before', and his comrade hail a greater respect for him because he had been brave enough to do a disagreeable thing when it was presented to him in the light of duty. My boys, remember that chere's quite as much bravery in doing right for right's sake as there is in the performance of grand and heroic deeds the world will hear about.-Eben E. lier ford in Christian Witness. Naming the Raby. "Charlie! dear," said thc young mother, "I've decided on a name for baby. Wc will call her Imogen." Papa was lost iu thought for a few minutes. He did not like thc name, but if he oppos< d it his wife would have her own way. "That's nice," said he, presently. "My first sweetheart was named Imo gen, and she will take it as a com pliment." "We will call her Mary, after my motlier," was the stern reply. - Women arc not permitted tobe photographed in China. There is no more trying work than the weaver's. Added to thc confinement, tbe heat and thc impure air, there is often an amount of phys ical exertion which seems in credible. In tbe : manufacture of plush, for ex ample, those , who cut the pile have to walk ^ about thirty ivy! miles a day. \^And with every :step of that thirty miles they breathe in vitiated air filled with particles of dust, poisonous coloring matter and other sub stances, irritating to the throat and lungs. It is no wonder that so many mill hands have an obstinate cough or that so many of them die of " lung trouble." It is to operatives whose work makes them peculiarly liable to lung disease that Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery comes as a priceless boon, lt posi tively cures deep seated and obstinate coughs, bronchial affections, bleeding of the lungs, and other diseases which if neglected lead to consumption.
