TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE OF THE
SUN SATURDAY JUNE 8TH,
A rare and wonderful phenome
non, a total solar eclipse with the
-path of totality passing over the
United States, accurs next Saturday,
June 8. While Nome is outside the
■central belt, the eclipse here will
be of great enough magnitude to
attract attention if the sky is clear.
At Nome the eclipse will begin at
10.50 a. m. and end at 1.03 p. m.
and 0.8, or more than 94, of the
sun’s disk will be obscured at noon.
The first contact will be on the
western edge of the sun. The eclipse
•is best observed with a fragment of
glass smoked in a candle or lamp
dame.
The eclipse begins in the Pacific
Ocean In Long. 150 East, Lat. 16
North, and travels eastward with a
speed of about 1,000 miles per hour.
Portland, Ore., is right on the edge
of the path of totality, and Chchalis,
Wash, near its center. Continuing
eastward, the shadow, with a width
of 150 miles, travels thru Oregon,
Idaho, Utah, Colorado, Kansas, Ok
lahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi, Ala
bama and Florida. Hundreds of
thousands of people in the states will
be able to see the eclipse. Astrono
mers will be on hand from the 4
corners of theearth to view it. Elab
orately equipped expeditions will be
sent by universities and observatories
The Lick Observatory has sent well
equipped expeditions to every eclipse
of any importance since 1888.
| Spectrographs are used to study
the coronal spectrum, photometers
to measure the intensity of light of
the sun as well as the corona, tele
scopes for large scale photography
and cameras for searching for in
tramercurial planets. Moving pic
tures will be taken of the present
eclipse by a large film company so
that everyone will have a chance
to see tho eclipse in the movies.
Although the number of eclipses
of the sun is larger than of the
moon, the former are restricted to
small areas of the earth, while the
latter are visible at all places where
the moon is above the horizon, and
thus then? are more lunar than solar
eclipses visible at a given place.
The last total solar eclipse visible
in the U. S. occurred in 1900. ,
A solar eclipse is caused by the
moon’s passing between the sun'
and the earth. The moon passes
between the sun and the earth at
new moon at intervals of 29% days,
but because the moon’s orbit is in
clined to the earth’s orbit at an an
gle of about 5 degrees, it happens
only occasionally that the moon
when niew is also in the plane of the
ecliptic (the earth's orbit.) At such
times the moon will be seen pro
jected upon the sun, either partially
or wholly obscuring the sun. An
eclipse may also be considered
caused by the immersion of an
observer in the shadow of the moon
If the centers of the moon and the
sun appear in the same straight
line, the eclipse will be either total
or annular. The apparent diame
ter of the moon varies by reason
of its variable distance from the
earth. If the apparent diameter
of the moon is not large enough to
cover the whole sun, a ring of sun
light will be visible around the dark
body of the moon, and the eclipse
is known as annular. Under the
most favorable conditions'* a solar
eclipse cannot be total for more
than 7 min. 58 sec. The present
eclipse is total for only 1 min. 30
sec.
During totality the mysterious
corona flashes into view, a glory
of silvery network spreading outward
from the sun millions of miles. The
gaseous element helium was first
discovered in the coronal spectrum
by M. Jansson during the eclipse
of Aug. 18, 1868. Helium was
afterwards discovered on earth in
the mineral Clevite and has since
been found to be a decomposition
product of Radium.
During every eclipse search is
made for a planet or planets inside
the orbit of Mercury, An interior
planet is reported to have been
seen in 1S59 and again in 1862.
It was named Vulcan, but no
scientific observer has been able to
find it, and its existence is doubted
| by astronomers.

A COMMUNICATION
Editor Industrial Wjorker.
I wish to correct a statement
published in your issue on the 4th,
made by Louis Wittenberg regard
ing that shooting accident -which
occurred last Sunday night, in which
Louis stated that he had asked me
if the gun was loaded and I said
that it was not as I had taken
th'a cartridges out of the gun before
entering town. Now that statement
is not correct. The first words
spoken by Louis was a request to
see the gun. I was undecided
whether I should give- him the gun
or not, ns I had just been using
the gun and was not sure if I had
reloaded it or not. But Louis was
anxious to examine the gun and
took hold of the stock while I
still retained hold of the barrel.
The gun was discharged while in
this position the bullet passing
through my leg and through the na
tive boy’s coat who was with me at
the time.
I have herewith given you a cor
rect statement of the accident.
Respectfully
George Laiblin.
