It is worth bearing in mind, how¬

would probably appear as a dark

Smoi-'ad glass will enable one to
observe the enure transit cl the moon
across the sun’s disc. Cameras can
be used to record the progress of
the transit. It is sa.d that a very,
fine needle hole in a piece of card¬
board or tin-foil will act as a lens and
project a tiny image of the crescent
sun through it by causing the rays of
from the periphery of the e
clipsed sun to cross as they pass
through the hole. Many such tiny
crescents of light may b ■ seen be
neath trees or through vines or other
shades, it is said. !
Chickens may go to roost and dogs
howl to add to the weirdness of the

SENTIMENT IS AGAINST
COMMERCIALIZING PARK
_
A rumor that an oil company was
seeking a lease on the park area un
der the water tower at “five points”
for the erection of a filling station
aroused some of our citizens to act
* on t*™ 8 wee k w ‘th a view to prevent¬
ing, if possible, the commercializing
of this plat, which has been dedicat

known as Fincher Memorial Park.
Interviews with several city of

T he first teriffic shock on Satur
day brokc the water mains in Tokio
and Yokahoma and was followed by
conflagrations in both cities that
caused unprecedented destruction of
jjfe and property. It is estimated
that 200,000 houses were burned in
and that the casualties in that
c ;t y were 150,000, while the casual
ties in Yokahoma are estimated at
100,000. Four bank buildings were
among the structures destroyed in
Tokio and many vessels, including
some of the finest ships of the Japan

j n the harbor of Yokahoma.
Hundreds of thousands of natives!
and foreigners are reported without
food or shelter, while the canals of
the cities are clogged with the bodies
of the dead.
The American Red Cross has un¬
dertaken to raise $100,000.00 for the
relief of the sufferers.
