THE ECLIPSE ON JANUARY 24 Elberton Star: If clear weather prevails on January 24, the people of the United States will witness the finest heavenly phenomenon of a gen oration a total eclipse of the sun. While the path of totality will be confined to a strip of territory run¬ ning roughly from New Haven to Du Juth, the eclipse will be partial over most of the Eastern half of the coun try . Elaborate preparations are being made by scientific men for taking photographs of the eclipse, which will be caused, of course, by the moon’s passage between the earth and the .sun. At the western limit of visibility the sun will rise in eclipse, while farther east the total eclipse will oc¬ cur shortly after sunrise. When one reflects upon it. the fact that astronomers can predict eclipses with such unerring accuracy is derful, but like many other wonders j accomplished by the minds of mer, it no long".- excites any particu'ar 'n terest. Nothing is more certain than the movements of the heavenly bodies. THE LEADER-TRIBUNE. FORT VALLEY, CA., THURSDAY, JANUARY IS, 1925.
