?i or
Weil, we have seen the eclipse, so have v
you. Mot having a very familiar acqnain- s
tanee with the Heavenly hotliesanu their ii
various antics, we will not attempt to go ti
into any scientili; explanaliou of iht
whys anil wherefores, but \t ill just talk
a littla as to how the thing appeared t. >
us: We arose early Monday morning, as
we suppose did everybody il.se, ami we
? felt had all the balance of the day? I
don't know if it was from the effects of *
5 our early rising or our moon or sun giz- ! .S
, ing. Glasses were prepared for lite whole a
family, and at 7:1 "> the housihold f.uiii- o
ture, at least a i-ortion of the chairs, v
, were moved out into th?'. ja-.il and we all v
" took our seats and began to patiently a
gaze a.t the bright otb of day, then hign v
a above the horizon. (Juilo a number of tl
people passed along, and our little crowd p
seemed to attract eonsiderab'y more i;
"" attention Ulan did the sun, they would w
rubber-neck at u-s as long as they could 1
see us. Some of them would look around ii
and seemingly wonder what we were
looking at, seeing nothing unusual they w
would smile and pass on, possibly draw- e,
ing mental conclusions not very favorable <1
to our mental calibre.- But we had made p
all these arrangements to see that eclipse, b
and we were not going to be deleted by a
lot of unappreciative people. Some one e<
was mean enough to ask us .if we were k
sitting for a picture. But we were finally t<
rewarded, and when things began to oi
darken, we had the laugh on those who b
were unprepared. We held a paper in
our haml giving a complete schedule of r
the eclipse, uud wo had our watch to 1
hold it down to schedule tiuie, and this
? 13 now iu cauif. <: >< ana i > reconui o
the llrst contact was m.ule tliii contact,
was mafic on Hie upper right rim of tlic
c- sun. Right hero we will state that we
ie will use inches, rather tlian million miles,
in our description. Not that we don't
know better, but the inch buiimss will
be more readily understood by the genet- c
y, nl reader, in about 10 minutes the
or moon seemed to have bit olf ;i two inch .1
scallop from the sun. The moon seemed
to travel slower after the first 10 or 1~> l
11 minutes following the contact. The t
L\ atmosphere was dry and hot not a bretze t
was stirring to rustle the leaves, and not
a single cloud was in sight; at <S o'clock, g
in the sim was about half covered and a
ry slight breez* sprang up, and in 20 minutes 1j
it more the atmosphere began tocoolveiv a
j3 perceptibly and a soft mellow light was t
shed round about, this light rapidly h
changed into a strange, weird and
'6 somber hue, that almost gave one the
er shivers, and inspired a certain ft cling of 2
lcj awe; the darkness began to hover thicker t
and fast and things began to get in- g
intensely interesting. Casting our eyes i
Lb olf to the hills in the distance, we noticed :
v the approaching shadow on the hills and o

of those not looking for it. As the time t
ro of totality was rapidly approaching we 1
noticed that ;tll the chickens halcol ie
lectecl under the house, Hie rooster had !<
been crowing when the darkness lirst
)n began. We endeavored to coax them
in out by throwing food in tho>ardlmt
they remained huddled together under
the house. * We spread a white sheet in
in the yard to catch a sight of the shadow 'i
;it waves, the narrow rim of the sun became
iy smaller and smaller, a very narrow run
of the sun could be seen on tho northern I
m side of the moon, and the shadows.hegau 1
at to play upon the sheets, they dickered,
waved and tumbled as might the shadow
of it hundred wires in motion, and we J
r1, began to congratulate ourselves that we
lo- were within the lino of totality, only a r
jy minute or two more would settle tlie
l10 question. It was with feverish interest
that we gazed during these two minutes, <
K" nothing hut a heavy pencil uiark of the
to sun's run could be seen iihout 2} inches J
it long an tho northern edge, then it was that
)y tho wonderful corona burst fortli ;vt i
. in all its splendor, shooting out in
y every direction, one of the most he iuti- l
f(tl sights wo have ever seen. No need |
e- for smoked gla*s now, but wo obtained c
j8 an excellent view of it through the opera p
glasses. This glorious sight was of ;j
lV* short duration, lasting not more than v
ed twenty to twenty-live seconds when it q
e- disappeared, as the moon sank away and
Jn the narrow rim of the sun began to (
. rapidly broaden, the somber shadows i
began to recede and the light came on !
as the breaking of day. The last moment t
id of eontiict was at 10 o'clock and H i
seconds, and one of the most wonderful i
. of nature's phenomena that many of us
' have ever seen and one that we may
" never witness again had past and rolled (
