SOLAR ECLIPSE IS
CAUSE INTEREST
UNUSUAL INCIDENTS DURING
JANUARY 24 PHENOMENON
SAYS PROFESSOR
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6—Scientists
believe they have gathered from ex
perience a good idea of some of the
unusual things that will take place
in connection with the total eclipse |
of the sun January 24.
Prof. George H. Peters of the Na
val observatory, who has been on in
timate terms with old Sol for the past
28 years related recently some of the
developments that may be looked for
in the path of the phenomenon on the
morning of the eclipse.
These include the sudden drop in
temperature. Animals are likeley to
become perplexed and uneasy over it
and birds go to roost. Looking to
ward the west just before the eclipse
becomes total one may observe the
shadow of the moon coming toward
the observer as if a thunderstorm was
approaching.
The sun has just passed its mini
mum period of spots and will prob
ably have some spots in January at
eclipse time, causing some disturb
ance of the corona, which only be
seen during total solar eclipse. The
sun is 400 times farther away from
the earth than the moon.
The ideal spot to observe the solar
eclipse would be far out in the North
Atlantic ocean, for the central line,
passing over Montauk Point, N. Y.,
traverses the sea for the rest of its
length until north of the British
Isles the total eclipse becomes visi
ble at sunset.
Is Total in Minnesota
At sunrise just east of Red Lake,
Minnesota, the eclipse will be total.
In the eastern section of the United
States the eclipse will be visible early i
in the forenoon, and in the fgx west
not at all, for it will still be dark
there. Over the North Atlantic ocean
it will be noon and afternoon at the
time of the eclipse. The best posi
tion for observation in the United
States will be along the line from
Buffalo to Montauk Point. In Minne
sota the shadow will be about eighty
miles broad, growing gradually wider
and wider to the eastward until in the
region of the Hudson river it becomes
110 miles broad. At Martha’s Vine
yard and Nantaucket, Mass., which
will not be on its central line, the
shadow path will measure some 120
miles across. Until the eclipse has
reached Buffalo, however, the sun
will be low on the horizon.
If at the equator, the moon’s shad
ow, blotting out the sun’s rays from
the earth, would sweep across this
body at the rate of 1000 miles an (
hour. In the eastern part of the j
United States this rate will be much
greater as the shadow will have the
benefit of the earth’s most rapid ro
tation in miles, owing to the shorter
circumference encountered nearer the
earth’s northern axis.
Another phase of the eclipse will
be the possible revival of the weather
insurance feature. Scientific bodies
are put to much expense in sending
out parties, and with unfavorable
weather, their work goes for naught.

CAVE KNOWN TO
INDIANS HAS 40
LARGE ROOMS
DENVER, Colo., Jan. 6.—Colorado’s
newest underground cave, already
known to, contain forty rooms, will be
explored further with a view to estab
lishing its availibility as a national
monument. Colorado citizens, who
have penetrated the subterranean
passages, declare when exploration
work has been completed the cave
will rival the famous Cave of the
Winds, near Colorado Springs, known
to thousands of tourists.
The largest room in the cave is 100
feet long, thirty feet high, and fifteen
feet wide, according to J. M. Eubanks,
a homesteader, who has done most
of the exploration work. The smallest
room is about six feet square.
There is still much exploring to do.
This includes a search for an open
ing believed to be somewhere in Park
county, probably covered with tim
ber and underbrush.
Mr. Eubanks says the cave has
three levels. The rooms are filled
with stalactites and stalagmites, many
of them of weird designs. A sefpent
is clearly shown, a crown crest and
Indian moccasin. On the upper level
two large rooms have been named
the Queen’s chamber, because of the
great beauty. Temperatures within
the cave are about the same, winter
and summer. The formation is lime
stone and magnetic iron ore.
The cave is 18 miles north of Sa
lida and 25 miles southeast of Buena
Vista, near the Fremont county line.
The property derives its name, Por
cupine Cave, from the fact that many
porcupines live within it.
