The Eclipse aa <een by aa Aatroao
isirr.
To even Ihe most hasty observer the
character of natme wa* changed. As ihe
sun's crescent faded away and Ihe light
which reached ihe earth came only from
Ihe edge of the disc. It underwent a series
of changes, and at the last had a wan
greenish tint, In which every object of
nature assumed a spectral appearance.
A sickly, baneful hue. somewhat like that
which precede* an awful storm lay over
all. The breese dropped and nature
seemed to pause breathless and wan be
fore entering upon some great struggle.
Toward Ihe southwest the oncoming shad
ow of the moon began to darken the sky
It grew rapidly blacker as If a lornado
wa* sweeping down upon the observer
The black column swept on, bloating out
every object In its path, like u very demon
of destruction One fairly held hi* breath
a* it appro* hed, expecting lo see ship*
and houses disappear In one general ruin,
hut •* the very moment of destruction
cam* Ihe black shadow passed noiseless
ly over the water, the sun vanlahed like
the shutting off an electric light, and In
Its place streamed out that mysterious sil
very light which astronomers call the
corona.
No other scene In all nature can he com
pared to this sight. From all {tarts of the
hidden disc of the sun flashed these cu
rious beam* of light Along the ecliptic
the •treamers extended to a distance of
a diameter and a half from the sun's
diec. Interlaced and Interwoven In the
most complicated way. About the poles
the matter which gave th* coronal light
seemed arranged in a manner similar to
th* lines of force about a magnet. This
corona of silvery light Is unlike any other
light In all the universe of stars, and as
on* gazed at Its unearthly radiance, well
could we comprehend the awe and th*
fear which this sight has brought to all
timid minds in the darker periods of the
world's history. Kvcn the modern mind al
most questions what message this myi*-
rlous light flashes bark to the hearts of
men. flmall wor.der that tyrant and slave
have trembled before this wan symbol of
the sky.
But suddenly in the Far Weal, whence
the mysterious sha lotv had com*, a faint
line of dawn was seen It crew rapidly
brighter and wider and almost before one
realised whit it meant all the phenom
ena of the dawn had com* nd gone: the
sunlight again flash**! ou*. wan and sick
ly at (list, tail growing every minute
; stronger and more wholesome, and nature
once more put on her every day garb.
The eclipse was over.
To the astronomer a total eclipse fur
nishes the one opjtortunlty to study that
curious appendage of the sun which haw
received the name of the corona, and
when one remember* that. although
eclipses are comparatively frequent, their
average duration Is about three mlnutea.
and that In a half century we have had
In all scarcely a half hour for this study,
the moments of eclipse seem precious In
deed to the astronomer.

Among the studies said to have been

were regarded as less practical than those
of Kong-fu-tge. which were more easily
comprehended by the majority.

THEORIES ABOUT FOOD.
Also a Few Furl* on the *mne Sub
ject.
We hear much nowadays about health
foods and hygienic living, about veg* la
ris nism and many other fads along the
same line.
Restaurant* may he found In the larger
cities where no meat, {wintry or coffee ?*
served and the foxl crank Is In hi- glory,
and arguments and theories galore ad
vanced to prove that me.it was never In
tended for human stomachs, and almost
make u# believe that our sturdy anc* lot -
who lived four score years In robust
health on ro?*t beef, pork and mutton
must have ben grossly Ignorant of the
laws of health.
Our forefather* had other thing* to do
than formulate theories about the food
they ate. A warm welcome was extended
to any kind from bacon to saorn*.
A healthy appetite and common-sense
are excellent guides to fnllow In matters
of diet, and a mixed ri*a of grains, fruits
and meats Is undoubtedly the best.
As compare*! with grains and vegeta
bles meat furnishes the most nutriment In
a highly concentrated form and i* diges
ted and la assimilated more quickly than
vegetable* and grain*.
Dr. Julius Remmson on this subject
*ys: "Nervous person*, people run down
in health and of low vitality should eat
much and plenty of It. If the digestion
Is too feeble at flr*t It may le etiMly cor
rect ed by the regular use of Muart's
Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal. Two
of these exerllcnl tablets taken after din
ner will digest several grain- of
meat, eggs or other animal food In three
hour*, and no matter how weak the stom
ach may be. no trouble will be experienc
ed If a regular practice Is made of using
fltuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, he* au** they
supply the pepsin and diastase necessary
to perfect digestion, and every form of
Indigestion will be overcome by the'r use
That large class of popple woo come
under the head of nervous dy*p*-|4lc*
should eet plenty of meat and Insure It*
proper digestion by the daily use of a
safe, harml*** digestive medicine like
Ptiiarf's Dyspepaia Tablet*, composed of
the natural digestive principles, pepsin,
diastase, fruit acid* and salts which ac
tually perform the work of digestion
Cheap catharlfc medtrines, masquerading
under the name of dyspepsia cures are
useless for indigestion as they have ab
solutely no effect upon the actual digest
ion of food
Dyspepsia In all It* many forms le sim
ply a failure of the stomach to digest
food and the sensible way to solve the
riddle snd cure the dyspepsia la to make
dally use at meal time of a preparation
like Ptiiart'a Dvepepsia Thle*a. which Is
