SEEING THE ECLIPSE
it-
Moon's Passage Across Sun
Watched in Holland.
Weather Ideal for Event Neither Anl-
mat Nor Plant Life Was Affected
in the Leant by Midday
Gloom and Cold.
Tho Hague, Holland. Whether the
Dutch astronomers have succeeded In
solving the problems sot themselves
with regard to the sun nnd moon will
only be known when all tho photo
graphs taken In tho eclipse camp In
Llmburg have been developed and
studied and tho numerous observa
tions then taken have all been worked
out. Tho weather, every one admitted,
was entirely favorable, so that a
wealth of material was gathered.
One of the important tasks of the
astronomers was to try to ohtaln data
from which to determine tho exact
position and exact diameter of the
moon. For that purpose they station
ed observers at five different places.
At each of the points chosen two
telescopes were erected on firm stone
foundations one for direct ocular ob
servations, the other for projecting
the phenomenon on a screen, on which
could bo followed the whole course of
tho sun nnd moon while In conjunc
tion. The sky was Ideal for observing tho
eclipse.
As for myself, I had chosen the open
fields for taking observations. There it
would be possible to noto how birds,
animals and plants comported them
selves; for very conflicting Etorles are
told of fear manifested by home crea
tures or of birds going to roost and
of flowers closing their petals in sleep.
Exact to the half minute tho sun be
gan to show nn indenture at tho lower
right hand side of the disk, but no di
minishing of the warmth of its rays
could yet bo felt. Not until the moon
had covered more than half of tho
sun was It appreciably colder. But at
tho critical moment, when only one
twentieth part of the sun's disk re
mained, like tho sickle of a golden
new moon, the air became very cold.
At the moment of greatest intensity
of eclipse tho light effect over the
landscape was peculiar. It was some
what like a very bright moonlight
night, only that the colors were more
vivid; the grass was much greener
and the red of the roofs of tho distant
houses more Intense.
Contrary to everything I had ever
heard tho animals In tho fields took
not the slightest notice of tho gather
ing gloom. Cows, sheep nnd horses
grazed calmly on or lay quietly chew
ing tho cud. Neither was there a sign
of unrest In the bird world. Tho sky
larks did not cense their warbling nor
tho' plovers circling over tho meadows
uttering their plaintive cries. Star
lings and crows flew about In little
flocks as usual. No birds went to roost
as far as I could see.
Tho plants and flowers around mo
utterly Ignored tho phenomenon; the
daisies did not close their starry eyes
and tho clovers did not fold their tre
foils lu sleep as they do at eventide.
Kut as I looked tlin moon was pass
ing swiftly across the sun's dlBk and
tho lower right hand "horn" of tho
sun wns visibly lengthening'. Tho
colors In tho landscapo grew brighter;
more Hcht flooded tho fields. It
seemed as If tho light increased with
greater rapidity than it had dimin
ished. Tho tempeiaturo rose as tho
sun's sickle now appeared standing
upright like a golden new moon. Then
In a few seconds tho lower rim of tho
sun reappeared. Soon it was "half
sun," then three-quarters sun and at
ten minutes to 2 only a small dark In
denture showed on tho extreme left of
the sun's surface. At 1:57 tho phe
nomenon was over. It had lasted
about two hours and thirty minutes.
All Officials on Strike.
Berlin. Tho Hungarian town of So
bozlo has for a week been without
municipal servants of any kind.
Every one responsible for keeping
order has gone on strike for a raise of
wages, which tho council refuses to

$1,100 For Pigeon Eggs
Money Offers of Last Year Repeated
Ho'bes Entertained That the
Bird Is Not Extinct.
Milwaukee. Rewards aggregating
$1,100 are avallablo for Wisconsin
bird lovers If they find an undisturbed
nest of a pair of the nearly extinct
passenger pigeon. In a pamphlet Is
sued recently by Prof. C. F. Hodge,
Clark University, northeastern Wis
consin Is designated as "tho most Hke
Ty spot on the continent" for tho-flnd-lng
of the, specimens.
The object of the rewards, which
are offered to bird lovers In every
state of the Union, Is to deteimlne
whether or not the species has be
come entirely extinct. The rewards
were offered last year, but despite ex
haustive Investigation, not a single
reward was claimed. Many nestlings
were reported, but they wero all found
to be either doves or mourning pig
eons. Tho wild or passenger pigeon nl
ways nests in trees, generally ten or
more feet from tho ground, nnd lays
but ono egg. In case any of the spe
cies aro found tho finder 1b requested
to communicate at once with Prof. C.
F, Hodge, giving exactly the date,
hour, number in flock and direction of
flight. As soon as as the report can
bo confirmed the reward will be for
warded, v
Ghost Alarms Gotham Police
-
New. York Officers Say It Is a Veter-
on of the Revolutionary War
Roundsman Doubts Story.
New York. Tho old soldier Is
walking again on Mornlngsldo
Heights. An uneasy veteran Is bo.
Just because someono sneaked Into
his tent in the war of the Revolution
and thrust one of tho old fashioned
broadswords through him ho has been
an aunoyaiico to tho residents of that
vicinity for more than a hundred
years. Nowadays tho neighborhood Is
grown up in npartment houses, but
that makes no dlfferonco to him. Ho
oozes out of the Janitor's door of the
house which occupies the former Bite
of his tent nnd goes for his midnight
stroll as nonchalantly as ever. Fortu
nntcly ho doesn't walk often.
Tho other night Cy Townsend, the
policeman who has tho fixed post at
Ono Hundred nnd Nineteenth street
and Mornlngsldo avenue, saw tho
hazy figure of the old soldier gliding
by him. Policeman Townsend mnde
a perfectly horrible noise as ho beat
it In tho general direction of his pa
trolling mate. He found tho officer In
a high fever. Ho had seen tho old
soldier, too. A night hawk cab driv
er had also been favored by a sight
of the visitant. Tho night hawk was
making strango noises in his throat.
As they wero discussing tho weird
occurrenco the roundsman came by.
"We saw the old soldier," said the
three in chorus,
,The roundsman carefully sraelled
tho breath of tho three. The two
coppers passed muster. Tho rounds
man stepped well to tho windward of
the night hawk after tho first sniff
and began his interrogatories.
"Nix on this ghost stuff," said the
roundsman, after he had concluded
his questions. "If tho old soldier
comes around here again you guys
want to make an nrrest or you go up
on charges."
Policeman Townsend and his mate
were white and shaky. They wanted
to know on what charge they could
arrest a ghost even supposing that
tho ghost submitted peaceably to ar
rest. "Well," said tho roundsmnn, "what
does this old soldier spook look like,
anyway? Does ho wear a uniform?
Has ho any legs?"
After consultation, the two police
men attested thnt the old soldier was
In mufti. Also, ho had no legs. He
justa sorta slipped along, klndn wav
ering like. The roundsman spoke with
decision
"If ho ain't got no legs," said ho,
"you can pinch him for having no
visible means of support."
Then ho went away chortling, Po
liceman Townsend nnd his mato havo
decided they do not like that roundsman.
Suspect Road Employes.
New Orleans, La. That tho arrest
of somo employe of tho Queen & Cres
cent railroad may be expected soon in
connection with tho robbery of the
train near Hattiesburg, Miss., was in
dicated whon railroad officials declar
ed that tho robbery would havo been
Impossible without some sort of Inside
aid.
Leprosy Suspect Escapes.
Lansing, Mich. Health officers and
polico authorities throughout the state
are on tho look oul for Samuel Izcn.
a Bay City leprosy suspect, who es
caped from the university hospital aft
er phjstcians had completed nn exam
ination and pronounced him affected

HOUSEWORK GOOD FOR BOYS
Judge Declares That Washing Dishes
and Sweeping Floors Would Win
Respect for Mothers.
Kansas City, Mo. Fathcis nnd
mothers should see that their boys
have training In washing dishes,
sweeping floors and oven cooking, Just
tho snmo as tho girls, Judgo J T.
Sims of tho Wyandotte county Juv
enile court believes. He bays this
causes tho boys to know their mothers
belter and enro more for tholr hoineR.
Parents should mix the training with
good wholesome fun for tho bojs nnd
not make the work a bugbear but in
sist that It bo done. When a boy
helps his mother In those things,
Judgo Sims bays, ho cannot be wholly
bad. It Is an asset In after life, too;
not, perhaps, because a man will bo
called upon to do such woik, but It
gives him a better understanding of
his home life.
Judge Sims expressed his belief to
00 boy wnrdu of tho court who had
come to inako their weekly re ports.
He had Just paroled Arthur L Smith,
fifteen years old, with tho Injunction
that he go home and assist lib mother
with the housework. Perhaps because
ho caught tho smile which tho other
boys greeted Smith nfter ho had re
ceived his parolo Judge Sims favored
them with the lecture
Smith had been taken to court by
his father, W. L. Smith, a switchman.
The father said he was unable to keep
the boy homo nights because ho was
at work then nnd tho boy did not pay
any attention to his ' other.
The lad promised to take the place
of a girl at home. He said ho desired
to learn to do those things, anyway.
Physicians Recommend Castoria
C ASTORIA, has mot with pronounoed favor on tho port of physioianQpharma
coutioal Booiotios and medical authorities. It is used by physioians with
results most gratifying, Tho extended use of Oastoria is unquestionably tho
result of three faotss First Tho indisputable evidenco that it is harmless:
second That it not only allays stomaoh pains and quiets the nerves, but assimi
lates the foods ThirdIt is an agreeable and perfect substitute for Oastor Oil.'
It is absolutely safe,'" It does not contain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotio
and does not stupefy. It is unlike Soothing Syrups, Bateman's Drops, Godfrey's
Cordial, eto. This is a good doal for a Medical Journal to say. Our duty, how
ever, is to oxpose danger and record tho moans of advanoing health. vTho day,
for poisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end. To
our knowledge, Oastoria is a remedy whioh produces composuro and health, by,
regulating tho system not by stupefying it and our roaders aro entitled to!
tho information. Hall's Journal of Rcaltlu
Letters from Prominent Physicians
addressed to Chas. 13. Fletcher
Dr. B. HalBtcad Scott, of Chicago, Ilia., says: "I havo prescribed. yc-UB
Castoria ofton for lnfantn durlns my practice, nnd find It very satisfactory.
Dr. William Belmont, of Cleveland, Ohio, Bays: "Your Castoria standa
first In its class. In my thirty years of practice I can cay, I novor havo
found anything thnt no filled tho placo."
Dr. J. IL Toft, of Brooklyn, N. Y., cays: "I liavo used your Castoria and
found it an excellent remedy in my household and private practlco for.
many years. Tho formula ia excellent"
Dr. R. J. Ilnmlcn, of Dotrolt, Mich., says: "I prcscrlbo your Castoria
cxtonslvoly, ns I havo nover found anything to equal it for children's
troubles. I am nwaro that thero aro imitations in tho flold,. but I always
boo that my patients get Flctchor's."
Dr. "Win. J MoCrann, of Omaha, Nob., Bays: "Aa tho father of thirteen
children I certainly know something about your great modlclno, and astldo
from my own family experience I havo in my years of practlco found Cas
torla a popular and efficient remedy in almost every homo."
Dr. J. E. Clausen, of Philadelphia,' Fa., says: "Tho namo that your Cas
torla has mado for itself in tho tens of thousands of homes blessed by tho
presenco of children, scarcely needs to bo supplemented by tho endorse
ment of tho medical profession, but I, for ono, most heartily endorso it and
bellovo it an excellent remedy."
Dr. It. M. Ward, of Kansas City, Mo., says: "Physicians generally do not
prcscrlbo proprietary preparations, but in the caso of Castoria my export
enco, llko that of many other physicians, has taught mo to nialco an ex
ccptlon. I prescribe your Castoria in my practlco becauso I havo found it
to bo a thoroughly rellablo remedy for children's complaints. Any physi
clan who has raised a family, aB I havo, :wlll Join mo in heartiest rccom

HEART NEEDS ESPECIAL CARE
Strain on the Vital Organ Must Be
Avoided When Middle Life Has
Been Passed.
"Tho death by heart failure of Gen.
Frederick D. Grant," says the Medical
Record, "emphasizes tho rcpoated
warnings of tho medical profession
that wo should treat a eenllo heart
with respect. Ab far as wo know
thore Is not the slightest disagreement
on this ono point every .human heart
over fifty, and perhaps over forty-five,
cannot stand much Internal pressure
without being ruined or at least dam
aged. A very slight man may go
through severe muscular exertion with
but llttlo damago, but a heavy man.
like tho general, places on tho heart
and arteries a hydrostatic pressure be
yond tho safety point, and It never ro
covers. "The pitiful featuro of this deplor
able death is tho fact that Gen.
Grant In his last annual report had
called attention to the opinion of llfo
Insurance examiners that army offi
cers wero becoming poor risks on ac
count of tho increasing strain on their
profession. It Is safo to predict more
deaths llko Gen. Grant's, unless wo
treat tho heart or a man over forty
five with moro gentleness.
