Beginning here promptly thirty «ec-
! onds before schedule time, the eclipse
of the sun Saturday was visible for
more than an hour and many watohed
it after It had reached its greatest mag-
nitude until intervening clouds hid
it from view. The eclipse began at
thirty and one-half minutes after 5
o’clock, reaching Its greatest magni-
tu<le of 95 or 96 per cent at 6-73. At
the latter time, only a slender cres-
cent was visible. Darkness was not so
complete as was expected, the clouds
perhaps having something to do with
it in reflecting the light and also mak-
ing the contrast between the light and
darkness less marked. The atmosphere
was murky rather than dark, altho In-
side buildings lights were needed. The
phenomena w-as accompanied by a per-
ceptible lowering of trie temperature.
Many people watched the progress
of the eclipse from the time it entered
from the northweri part of the sun un-
til it was impossible to see it on ac-
count of the clouds and each family
had its own of astronomers looking
thru the smoked glasses prepared for
the event. JJ was perhaps the gre&!-
