SEVEN ECLIPSES It Hasn't Happened Since 1805 and Will Occur but Once Again Until Latter Half of Next Century. Eclipses are attracting more than usual attention this year. The reason is that 1917 has the greatest number of eclipses that any year can have. They are seven: three of the moon and four of the sun. To have seven eclipses in one year is a rare thing. The last time was 112 years ago. In the next 150 years it will happen only twice. Explanation of Eclipse electoral system the people in No vember do not elect the President and Vice President; they only elect "elec tors." In January the electors meet each State group in the capital of ito own state, and vote for President and Vice President. This is what was done Jan. 8. The vote of each State is forwarded to Washington, sealed, and the result is theoretically a secret until the en velopes are opened in the presence of both Houses of Congress. But it isn't a secret.- Everybody knew, as soon as the people's votes had been counted in November, just how the electors would vote in January. Current Events. Going to Extremes. Blonde Gerty Giddigad certainly has the shopping habit developed to a science. Brunetta Likes it, you mean? "I mean that she always insists on going where she can get the most for her money." "That's natural, isn't it?" "In most cases, yes, but there are exceptions." "I'd like to know what they are?" "Well, for instance, the other day I found her in the arcade trying to as certain which machine wouldl give her the most forher money when she weighed herself on the scales." Many readers cf Current Events wish to know why there are eclipses. What makes them ? It is not a hard tiling to understand. First we must remember that the earth and the moon have no light of their own; what they have they get from the sun. If we think of the sun as a great electric light, of the earth as a dark globe some distance away, and of the moon s.s a smaller globe father from the sun but in the same straight line, we have the condition, for an eclipse of the moon. The il luminated or day light side of the earth will of cours h th siHft near- est the sun. On the opposite side of Youngstown Telegraph the earth it will be night. - , The earth's night does not end near the earth; it is a shadow thrown hun dreds of thousands of miles out into space on the side opposite the sun. The shadow forms a cone of darkness whose base is a cross section of the earth. When the moon in its month ly journeys around the earth passes through this shadow or "cone of dark ness," we have an eclipse of the moon. If the moon is partly in and partly out of the shadow we have a partial eclipse; if it is wholly immersed we have a total eclipse. It was a total eclipse on the morning of January 8. This Winter.

One would think that whenever the moon in its monthly circling around the earth reaches that side which is opposite the sun, it must pass through the earth's shadow and be eclipsed. That indeed would be the case if the sun, earth and moon were all traveling in the same plane, like marbles rolling on a floor. But the moon does not move in the same plane with the earth and sun. The moon's plane cuts the sun-and-earth plane at a slant. When the moon is opposite the sun, therefore, it is usual ly either above or1 below the cone of darkness and so escapes eclipses. Strictly speaking, we never see the moon quite full, for at times when it would be absolutely full is is always in eclipse. What we call the full moon is when the illuminated half is al most wholly turned toward us. We are asked how often there is a year of seven eclipses. On the average there is one such year in seventy. This is not regular. The next time it comes uncommonly soon,' only 17 years hence. Sometimes the interval is more than 250 years. Current Events. Wake Up Stop Your Dreaming About Hard Times.
