The Interesting Phenomenon May Be
Seen In This Locality.
DUB ON THURSDAY MORNING
For Several Hours the‘M‘oon Will Hide
01d Sol’s Bushes—Astronomers Mak-
ing Great Preparations to 0b-
serve the Rare Event.
New York, July 28.—An eclipse of the
sun will take place on Thursday, July
29. It will be—"visible in this city and
, generally throughout the western conti-
nent. At seven minutes before 9 o’clock
the great orb of day will pull the moon,
like a veil, across his face and hide his
blushes for 2 hours and 17 minutes.
The event will be regarded with great
interest by the scientific world andwith
hardly less interest by the great wOrld
. that cares little for science.
New York is especially favored. The
entertainment Will be visible through
every act, as it will be in Pennsylvania,
Connecticut, New Jersey, Delaware and
most of the eastern states.
The firstr part will-i introduce the sun
in its usual role of shining, with the
moon concealed behind the curtains.
Then there will be a. shadowy creeping
across the stage whose theater is the
universe.
This creeping, it may be remarked
incidentally, is done at the rate of a
mile a. second, as vieWed from the earth.
The second act will Show the sun as
he turns and discovers the lurking
presence. of the moon and tries to stare
the latter out of countenance, but grows
pale with the undertaking and presently
forfeits a. corner of his face to the new-
comer.
sThe subsequent acts show the moon
getting the better of the set to, and
then the gradual recuperation of the
fallen giant until he forces the moon to
take to a. precipitate flight across the
. firmament.
Opportunity Seldom Ofi‘ered.
There are many reasons why this
eclipse of the sun should be regarded
with the utmost interest by every one,
astronomer or layman, in the first
place, because of the rarity of a solar
eclipse. It usually happens only about
once in 18 years. .
Total eclipses of the sun are the rarest
of all. In England, for instance, one is
due on Aug. 12, 1999. With that excep-
tion they will not have another over
there in 250 years.
Solar eclipses are of incalculable value
and interest to” astronomers, because
the beclouded condition of the sun per-
mits men to observe and study it with,
instruments that are useless when the
orb faces toward them with its blinding
light. An eclipse by the moon also fur-
nishes an opportunity to inspect the lat-
ter, for, with the sun showing through
it, it is as if we were able to practically
subject the moon to X rays.
An eclipse becomes especially inter-
esting the moment the center of the-
sun is covered by the moon. The day-
light then diminishes rapidly, and when
thé total eclipse approaches the diminu-
tion of light is so rapid as to be terri-
fying to one, ignorant of its causes.
A striking feature, besides the dark-
ness, is the change of color shown by
many objects. This is more noticeable
in the country than in cities. The green-
est foliage becomes of a gray color in
the parts nearest the sun, while toward
the horizon it wears a greenish yellow»
tint.
A man’s face looks cadaverous. An
appalling _silence falls upon nature.
Birds disappear, insects hide themselves.
animals show every evidence of fear,
and the entire landscape wears an as—
pect that seems to foretell an imminent
frightful disaster.
Science believes that the deadly yel-
low hue appears at such times to settle
over the earth implies a weakening or
diminution of the vital forces of nature
—as if this planet, owing its life to the
sun, Were fainting with fear at the
thought of the sun’s abandoning it.
A Fall In Temperature.
Certain it is that the occultation of the‘
sun. is always attended by a very per-
ceptible fall of the temperature. In
some parts of the world the sudden
drop of the mercury almost instantly
produces fogs and dense, hovering
masses of clouds,
hang, between earth and sky, a. num-
ber of huge, luminous rings. The clouds
nearest to the waning and waxing sides
of the sun usually .take on the most
brilliant and fantastic effects, and the
irislike hues are most striking as the
crescent becomes smaller.
In many eclipses the disappearance
and reappearance of the sun are accom-
panied by shadow waves and luminous
fringes which float across the horizon.
There is hardly ever‘ an eclipse with- p
out that weird and picturesque halo of
light called the “corona.” Astronomers
Were in conflict for centuries as to the
cause and nature of these phenomena,
and, indeed, it is not yet recognized as'
sure that the problem has been solved.
Thanks, however, to. an instrument
called the spectroscope, more ccimplete
observations than ever before were
made in this country and in Europe at
the time of the last great eclipse, and
the general conclusion was that the red
flames seen at such times were really
the red flames of the hydrogen in the
sun’s atmosphere.

Our Readers 'Are} Face to
Face With‘an unavoid-
able Question.
When the great Hume, the free-
thinker, Was asked by a lady at Bath,
Eng, whom would he depend upon the
more, servants who conscientiously be-
lieved in the truths of eternal revela-
tion, or those who professed to hold his
own opinions, he frankly answered the
former.
When our readers are asked whose
statements can be depended upon the
more, scores of our citizens or one or
two desultory selections picked at hap
hazard from our broad Republic, the
ansWer must frankly be, Norwalk
people every time. The only state-
ments that appear at the foot of any
proprietary medicine advertisements 1n
Norwalk papers, obtained from a pure-
ly local source, are these appended to
the reading notices published by Doan’ s
Kidney Pills. The inference is too ap-
parent to waste time mentioning it.

London,
zette, commenting on 413;:1’ s “ otest
in the Hawaiian hnnexation matter,
“According to European usage it
amounts to a threat to resizt the trans-
fer of the archipelago by force and is
equivalent to v arn ng the United States
that they must give up their views as
to Hawaii or prepare for war. It does
mean just so much in the mouth of Ja-
pan, though the Americans do not seem
to think so. But they have such odd
ideas of diplomatic language first they
are no great authorities.”
The Pall Mall GaZette says; “We have
said from the first that it is no concern
of Great'Britain whether the United
States annexes Hawaii or not, but Ja-
-’pan 5 protest should give the American
jingoes something to think about.
remains to be seen whether American
opinion will ratify the annexation pol-
icy. If it does, "the matter will become
important, for Japan has a powerful
navy, and if it does not, Secretary Sher-
man, and at any rate President McKin-
ley, will think twice before‘ inviting the
Japanese navy to‘do the mischief it un-
doubtedly could."
The Gibbe, after referring to the “cs-'2?-
ical insolence of the American minister, ”
says: “Should it be our misfortune to
engage_ in @- quarr 13,1 with our_ kin beyond
the' sea, we must ”seize Hawaii imme-
diately, but the state of things against
which it is necessary to take precau—
tlons now is the by no means remote
contingency of a. war between the Unit—
ed States and a European power, able
to take Hawaii, which would then be—
come a strategic point of great impor—
tance against oursel‘. cs. If Japan ad-
vocates 01 commutes her rights, it is
the clear duty of this country to inter-
fere, even at the risk of another abusive
dispatch from Sherman.”

Birmingham, Ala., July 28*.——There are
now 28 cases of smallpox here and more
