The following notes on the eclipse of the sun were prepared for t !>?.? Nows & Courier by Dr. Carlisle, of Spartanburg: "Louis XV of France f1710 1774) ask ed nr was asked or coinmanthjd one of the French astronomers to Uh.{ out when lie could hope to see a total eclipse of the sun. A list of eclipses was laboriously prepared. If the king h Ad lived to thin 1 day he would nevvr lmve had the covet ed privilege.

The centre of the moon's shadow will move very nearly | along t hat line, paasmur over Lancaster. j Draw a line on each side of that lino par allel to it about twentv-live inile.s distant. That holt will very nenriy cover the fee- 1 tion on which t lie eclipse will be total. It is stiiking to see how nianvtowns vill be covered.

It i* safe to predict that thin eclipse will he honored by a more numerous company of- ?*\f>ert gaz"ra than ever studied any similar phenomenon. In the two mi'iutes of the total eclipse many questions will be ftskod of the sun and moon. Some w ill probably he answered and vet t he answers will suggest new questions, tiius illustrating the saving that as w<! enlarge tho etr:d? of light, we only enlarge the surrounding circlo of darkness.
