The plal eclipse ot the moon last night was observed under the mot favor ab'e conditions. The sky was without a cloud for three hours and fifty Tour min utes, during which the phenomenon was being developed. In this resjiect it was an Infinitely superior and more be-autlful exhibition than the eclipse which no cur red earlier In the year. In the latter eclipse the shadow rirat apjieaTcd on the lowt r limb ot the moon, while last night the shadow began to creep over the race or our satellite from a iKiInt on the upper le-rtof the rim. The programme was carrie-d out pre cisely as the astronomers had predicted. The entrance of the moon into theiicnura bra, so tar as (Le naked eye was con cerned, had to be taken for granted, but at 11 p. m, the time fixed for the plunge Into the shadow, that incident was distinctly observable. From that time until six minutes after midnight the moon went through all the phases which are ordinarily observed from the full to the new. When it was about halt immersed in the shadow a little star ot about the third magnitude began to twinkle about a diameter of the moon east ot that body, and soonafter wards fourstars of the same magnitude-appeared to theeast. The moon was therefore set In a starry triangle, it being very neartheapex, making an unusually lovely celestial picture. Just before the total extingi'ishinent ot the light a brilliant segnnnt rein lined, which slowly flickered until the bhailow completely veiled the wonder-worker. Tho copper color of the moon Immersed iu the shadow was usually decided In tint. These ellipses are taken advantage of by astronomers to note ihe eiccultalio'is of the stars By a comparison of observations belwe-en stations where ellipses arc-noted, it is easy to determine the e-sact path or these occulted stars across the hidden side or the moon, and from these paths they can measure Willi great accuracy the diameter or the moon. They also determine1 the longitude or stars. It was for the former purpose especially that the observations by the photographic transit were made last night at the naval observatory. There were but few Mars and those telescopic In the lineof the moon'c orbit. The copper color Is caused by the light of the sun refracted into the earth's at mosphere and In that mild quality re vealing the face ot the moon The cause of eclipses of the moon, as was but recently explained in The Times, is the earth coming between the moon and the sun when the moon Is in the plane of the i-arlh's orbit. Such an eclipse can only ccur al full moon. For amateurs iu astronomy, either with the naked eye or the camera, last night was one out of ten thousand The ecllpso was over at 2 54 o'clock this morning, all the phases occupying three hours and titty-four minutes Here Are Prices You'll Never Beat. fcixSUTer-platcd Tablespoons 23c Firtvproof Crocks.. 5c; eitra large 10c QL Helton's FrcU Jars 5c Jron EaUnf Pana 8c Wash Tubs - 31 and lie each.
