A biinsei Ivan V alikie Tower IIETTIE BEINHARDT. , We had been in Moscow for 10 days awaiting the completion of ar rangements for transportation over the Trans-Siberian -route and for 10 days the rain had come in a steady downpour. But we had unhesitat ingly braved the elements and sal lied forth each day to explore all the places, of Interest the art museums, the cathedrals, the- Tolstoi Museum, the House , of Romanoff, the great foundling hospital, which is support ed by the sale of playing cards In Russia, and where they care for 3,000 babies, and by far. themost Important of all the Kremlin we tiad seen it all and were getting qu'te anxious to start on the - long- trip home. Only one thins had been de nied us a clear view of the city from the "Ivan Valklrie Tower"; and when hv the late afternoon of our last day In Moscow, the sun shone out brightly. Miss Johnston and I started out from the hotel, taking With, us JthaJittle Russian slstsr, -w no had beefy sent with us from Kjef as ur Interpreter. As every one knows, Mosaow is a city of bells and the "Ivan Valikie Tower" is the bell tower of the Kremlin. It was built in 1(00 and in it hangs S3 immense bells; each one with a wonderful history of its own. Certain ones are rung every .evening at 6 o'clock; certain others at Easter time and when the Csar visits the city, and certain others only when a Csar crowns himself ruler, of all Russia. At the foot of the tower is placed the largest bell in the world. It is about 1 or 18 feet In diameter and was' moulded during the reign of Empress Sofia. After it was finished it was found to be too large for prac tical use. A small piece had also been broken out of it in the mould ing, so It was placed at the foot of the bell tower and is mw a great curiosity to strangers. It was Sun day and the tower was closed to visitors till 6 o'clock, but when the old keeper wag told that we were American Red Cross sisters, he very kindly, let us in by a private en trance and told 4is to remain till the the hells were run. We climbed to1 the topmost landing and from there the view over the city almost daszled the eyes. Moscow has 2.000 churches, and each church has the beautiful gold domes with the. gold crosses suspended above. As the set ting sun shone on all of these, it looked almost as if the city was on fire. Looking out over the whole of the city, which seemed llterallv spread at our feet,- it made us think of the Eternal City, for surely what .we were gazing on must have borne resemblance to that. First, the his The Heavens '(By C. S. Bralnln, of the Columbia University Obwervator) Staff.) February brings to our view the whole of the constellation of Leo, the Lion, only part of which could be ehown on the January map. This is one of the so-called zodiacal constel lations, that is one of the constella tions through which the sun passes In his yearly round of the celestial sphere. This group of stars seems to have been connected with the figure of a Hon in all the ancient astrono mies and owes its -particular import ance to the ancients to the fact that the sun occupied a position In this very constellation at the time of the Summer solstice at a period In his tory about corresponding to the dawn of scientific knowledge. Owing to the motion of the celes tial polo called the "Procession of the Equinoxes," the sun is now in the group of the Heavenly Twins at the time of the Solstice. Of Reguius, the royal star, the brightest of Leo, we poke in last month's article; the next brightest is Denebola, the Lion's tail, the unlucky star. Denebola Js a star of a bluish tinge and seems to have een brighter in olden times than it Is now. It is approaching the earth at the rate of 12 miles a second and Is now about 33 light years .distant tfrom the solar system. In intrinsic brilliancy it is about 10 times as great as the sun. Gamma Leonts,' the bright star Just north of Reguius, Is a well-known double star. A small telescope will reveal the two com ponents and show them of different colors. Two of the Planets, or Wanderers, are visible to the naked eye this month at the time of our map. Sat urn you will find in the constellation of the pmlnln, below and to the west of the two bright stars, and Mars In Leo, near Reguius.

It was a very great offense to take any pictures within the . Kremlin walla Then we asked to be allowed to take one of him, and he very willingly consented. So we took a snap-shot of him, and thereby gained his per mission to take any others we want ed JuBt so we did not give them to the Germans, was the only condition he made. ; This old bell ringer was only a peasant, but there was an air of dignity about him that at once commanded respect He told us that he had rung the bells there for 65 years; had rung them for the coro nation of two Cxars. The corona tion services always take place, in Moscow, In the Church of the An nunciation, close by the Ivan Valikie 1 Tower. This old man a grandfather, he told us, had been keeper of that Church when Napoleon made his memorable visit to Mbscow. The Emperor demanded the keys of the church as he wished his- soldiers to stable their horses there.- When the old keeper refused to comply with the request Napoleon drew his sword and out his head off at the door of the church. The bell ringer a'so told us of different crowned heads and other persons of high estate that, he had escorted up the tower. When the present Czar was a tiny boy, he had taken him up. and then again several years ago, he had come with the Czarina. He was an interesting old character and could tell us many historical facts. We felt as if we had come face to face with a bit of ancient history, itself, and we were sorry when 6 o'clock announced that he must turn his attention to the ringing of the bells. We stood within a very few feet, while five of the great bells were being rung, but so perfect was the tone and harmony, that there was no harshness or deafening in our ears as might be supposed. We left Moscow that nlirht. hut we carried with Us an Jndeblble memory of, our last afternoon there and we will always be glad that we were permitted to see the sunset and listening to the stories told us by the old bell rlnges from Ivan Valikie Tower. in February bright stars by the absence of the twinkling. THS TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE OF FEBRUARY 3. A total eclipse or darkness of the sun's disk is, indeed, one of the most important, as well as interesting, of astronomic - phenomena and on which is not exceedingly rare. Yet it is true that very few people ever get to see one, but that is because the eclipse, when It happens, dan only be seen as a total eclipse over a very limited area. Perhap every one of us has seen many partial eclipses, but they are of less Interest as spec tacles and of little or no value to science. The present eclipse will be seen as a total only over a narrow strip passing over Colombia and Ven ezuela and across the sea to the Azores; but as a partial the eclipse will be visible all over the United States. In the vicinity of Washing ton and New York the eclipse will begin approximately at 10 o'clock in the morning and end after noon. In the central part of the country it will begin earlier. In trying to understand how eclipses of the sun come about, bear in mind that, as the earth revolves about the nun, so the moon revolves about the earth, being now between us and the sun, now outside of the earth's orbit. The earth's orbit about the sun all lies in one plane, called the ecliptic! neither body ever gets out of this plane. Similarly with the earth and moon. The moon's orbit around the earth lies in a plane, and this plane is not the same as the above-named ecliptic plane.but makes only a small angle with it. Now, it sometimes Happens that In his reVo lutlons about the earth the moon gets right in between the sun and the earth In such a way as to obstruct the light of the sun on its way to the earth, exactly as someone might walk iff. 1 1 f O o'cJocK tta.2r,H, 8 o'tloc Fe. 17 1 M0CNS, PHASES NewM.3 l&t.Qr. lOtb.

Inasmuch as the moon must always be directly be tween the sun and earth at a time of solar eclipse, the phase of the moon which corresponds to this position is that of hew moon. Not every new moon will bring us some kind of solar eclipse, however, because, in order that the moon may Obstruct Nur vision of the sun, it is necessary for him to be directly, or very nearly, on the exact straight line Joining the sun and earth. If he be too much above it or below It, we will have the usual occurrence of a new moon without the eclipse. If the moon's orbital plane were the same as the ecliptic, or earth's plane, an eclipse would occur at every new moon; for then the moon would al ways be in the same plane with the earth ahd sun and could nothelp get ting directly in between the sun and earth as it turned about the earth. We have seen above that the moon's orbital plane makes an angle with that of the earth, and so It will be only when , wo have a new moon at the time that the moon in his orbit is In a place very near the earth's ecliptic that we shall have an eclipse. Of courae, at the intersection of these two planes the new moon will be In both, planes at once; so we would have an eclipse then, and also if the new moon occurs at places very near this intersection point (node). Not every eclipse will be a full and total darkening of the sun's disk; the moon may pass in such a way as to cover up only part of the disk. Again It may happen that the moon is so far from the earth that when he pass es the sun he covers up only the cen tral portion, and we see around the THE BRITISH M " e Notes in Mahan' s Book Tell of Apathy and Insuffi ciency in Empire. INTERNATIONAL LAW Who Wouldn't Forget It It Country's Life Was at Stake? Pleads for the Battleship. New York, Jan. 29. A remarkable book of much interest at the present time has Just come Into the possession of Gabriel Wei a of 489 Fifth avenue. It is Admiral Lord Charles Beres ford's own copy of "The Influence of Sea Power Upon History, 1860-178J," by Capt. A. T. Mahan of the United States Navy. On the fly leaf is the autograph "Charles Beresford, H. M. 8. Un daunted, 1890," and on the title page "Charlie Beresford, Undaunted, 1890." The margins, are filled with critical notes in his hand, many of them com menting In no uncertain terms upon the apathy of the British Government as to matters concerning the British fleet and the consequent danger to the Nation. The autograph notes, some of which are quite long, are nearly 200 in number, and there are besides a great many passages In the book marked as especially noteworthy. At the end of the volume he has writ ten: . -, , "The most instructive and Interest ing book I have read. C. B." In reference to Napoleon's failure to control the English Channel, h says: "The French and Russian fleets can do th'.s now if well manoeuvred. It they fall, styi their countries are sate. If they win, the British Empire disappears" At another point he declares: It is heartbreaking to observe the short-sightedness of our people with reference to a proper organization for war. The naval forces we possess art too small by half, but even-what we have got are not properly organised." DANGER OF UNPREPAREDNESS. In reference to the neglet of the French mercantile marina by Louis XIV, he comments: ..:'.. "Exactly what we are doing now There is no thought, or organisation for the mercantile marine, or the part 'HELPS TIRED, ACHING FEET Instant relief for sore, swol r - len, tender, calloused feet and corns.

It is A very interesting (act that, If a certain eclipse happens on a giv en date, in exactly 6,585 days we shall have n absolutely similar eclipse occurring "This period, call ed the Saros, was discovered long ago by the ancient Chaldaean astrono mers. It Is the lowest common mul tiple of several of the lunar periods, so that after this number of days con ditions are bound to repeat them selves. What does the fortunate dne who finds himself In a location "of VlalbllJ ty of a total eclipse really see? As the moon slowly creeps across the face of the brilliant sun no Apparent difference is at first noticed in the general illumination. Only as it ap proaches the crescent shape we notice that images of the sun formed on the ground by the small spaces between leaves on a tree are of a crescent shape. But as the moon silently de vours more and more of the sun's disk, the darkness mysterious and unearthly, Increases rapidly, till only a small thin strip of the sun is left. Then suddenly the gloom reaches Its maximum, and the sun is entirely cut off. But in that same moment there bursts upon ' our view the boundless beauty of the silvery corona and the protuberances flaming rose-red In great streamers about the blue-black shadow of the moon. Three or four minutes this lasts", and then suddenly a shaft of sunlight strikes the earth and melts away the glorious color display, not to be seen again until the next eclipse. they must play as food Bhips and Im ports, that which gives our people their wages, i. e., raw material; everything at this moment is left to chance in war time." ' "No one," he says, "knows what factor will be the one that will win the next great naval action; speed, helm and the captains must all be good.' "This was so when I Joined the service in '59. A gunnery man was then looked upon as a man who was not in any way equal to a watch keeper or a, seaman. The opinion held was that any one could use a gun, but it required a seaman to get the ship into position to Are the gun." Where Mahan speaks of the de cline of trade, manufacture, and com merce through the outbreak of his tilities, Lord Beresford writes: "All may happen to us any day through the inability of our governing body to see that our Navy is all in all." LOSE SIX BATTLESHIPS AND EM PIRE IS GONE. Other comments by him are: "In these days to win win require as much dash and pluck as before, but far more attention to detail and accurate organization. "The loss of one first-class battle ship to us now is equal to the loss of tfn army corps to Germany. "France Is the only one that could really hurt us now, on account of her fleet. "If we lose six battleships we lose our Empire, and who knows what will occur In the next naval war? We have not enough battleships and con sequently no reserve." Of Mahan's statement that the English people from long immunity were particularly sensitive to fears of invasion, Lord Beresford says: "So they are now." To Mahan's note that the brilliancy of Nelson's fame dimmed that of all his contemporaries, Lord Beresford comments: "I agree, Wellington was No. 2." With regard to the assertion that France and Great Britain are the two powers that have the largest military navies, that It is an open question which of the two is the more power ful, and that they may be regarded as practically of equal strength in material for a sea war, Lord Beres ford observes: "What a humble ad mission for England, when upon the strength of the fleet depends her life." "Hear! Hear," he writes after the statement that a warm dispute arose as to who should command the united fleets of France and England In the attack upon the Dutch Republic "It is the custom of the English," said Sir Charles, "to command at sea." Jomanl, in his "HiHtory of the Wars or the French Revolution." as auotea by Mahan, laid down as a fundamen tal principle of European policy that an unlimited expansion of naval force should not be permitted to any Na tion which cannot be approached by iana. uercsrora's comment is "This is a statement held now on the Continent. If once we 10e0 our supremacy, or fancied supremacy, we snau never get it acK, POPULAR GOVERNMENTS NEG . - LIGENT. - ' "Popular Governments are not gen erally . favorable to military expend! tures, however necessary, and there are signs that England tends to dron behind," says Mahan, and Beresford mat: "Too sad, but true." Speaking of the Dutch under Wil liam of Orange, Mahan says: "With the eyes tf the Government fixed on the land frontier the navy rapidly de clined and Beresford comments: "Our eyes have been fixed on the ar my, which Is unnecessary for our life, wnue tne last nee t .was for our eg.

"It is not necessary to be able to meet all others combined." declared Mahan. "It is," replies Beresford. "The Spanish Admiral told the English-flattythat the ruin Ofth French Navy, a large part of which was then in their hands, could not fall to be injurious to the interests or Spain," says Mahan. and Beresford Inquires: -Why did not the English Admiral. shoot him?" Speaking of th results of the con tinental war, Mahan says that the BriUsh Navy was overwhelmingly superior In numbers. Beresford adds: "This is the position in which wa ought to commence a war In these days of steam and speed." -Whatever, the military wisdom of sending the channel fleet to seek the enemy before it invited, the step may not have been possible." Mahan de clares. 'If war were declared now," says Beresford, "the people at horn to leave England for fear of Invasion a false fear." TIME TO FORGET INTERNATION AL LAW. He says of Commodore John Stone "We probably lost our colonies through the unfitness and black guardism of this person for a recon ciliation.". Another comment of him is: "Who would think of Interna tional law if, by not noticing its pre cepts, you could win a decisive action for your country." About India he says: "If Britain ever ventured to rive un India now the civil servants of the Crown out there would retain it, independent of Britain, with the aid of half the na tive States." Again he says: "Take your chance when it comes. It is no use hoping for another; it may never come. Win ning one chance often gives you an other." Strenuous Wcod-KUling. "If you have a field, or part of field. Infested with mustard, quack grass, Canada thistle, or morning glory," says M. E. Woodbury in Farm and Fireside, "the best way to de stroy these pests is to fallow the plot for a full year.

Howard Chandler Christy, illustra tor, was walking down the street when he was overtaken by a dog that began to snap at his heels. Its mis tress made no effort to call It off, according to The Pittsburg Chronicle- Telegraph, so he turned and gave the dog an admonitory kick. "Brute," cried the woman, "to kick a lltt e defenseless animal! That lit. tie creature Is a pet and Is not ac customed to such treatment." "I beg your pardon, madam," re plied Mr. Christy. "I did not mean to hurt your dog. But you should have called him off." "He would not have hurt you," re plied the woman In a grieved tone. "He is a pet," "I did not care to be bitten by him, nevertheless, madam," returned Mr. Christy. "I am somewhat of a fa vorite at home myself." C'anh Was Soarop. A wealthy farmer, who had been consulting a local lawyer about some knotty point, received satisfactory advice, and then rose to leave the office, "By the way." he asked, "what Is your fee?" "Oh er say, si and elghtpence," ceplled the young solicitor. The farmer handed over a pound note, says The London Observer, and waited for the change. The lawyer felt In pocket after pocket. Then he searched his desk, with a pale faoe. Finally, he ran through hi pockets again, and then slowly drew forward a huge volume which he had already consulted, to him.
