The Eclipse, AS SEEN FROM "A GOOD POINT IN THE PATH OF- TOTALITY. San Francisco Cor. X. Y. Times. The event of this New Year's Day which will long be remembered in Cal ifornia was the total eclipse of thesun, visible throughout a belt 93 miles wide, extending diagonally acrass the north thern part of this State. Trained observer.- from all pirts of the United States, provided with all jiecessary in struments, were stationed at various points in the p ith of totality, and as the weather was favorable at most places, their ob-ervations were made under exceptionally favorable circum stances.! and will prove of great scien tific value." The principal work was done by the Harvard University party at the Wil liam Lick Observatory, astronomers at Norman, Prof. Swift near. Chico;Hhe Chabot Observatory and people atf Cloverdale. The Times' correspondent accompanied the latter party, wlych Was in charge of Prof. Charles Buck halter, and included no less than 25 experienced amateur photographers. Besides cameras and smaller instru ments, observers were with ten half 1 l i il 1 i T T inch renectors or tiianot university and a sidereal cloth set to autoniatical- y record the timet The station was accurately deter- termined to be in latitude 38 degrees, 7 minutes. 30 seconds; longitude 124 degrees, 57 minutes23 seconds. The observers. Were placed in a large vacant ot covered with the greenest ot grass, and r containing several giant white oaks with long streamers of gray moss clinging to their leafless branches. These features of the -landscape were irought out with weird effect during the solar obscuration. At 12:23 p. m. the first contact was noted. ; The sky was clear with the exception of a tew laceiiKe cirrus clouds, which, however, pul not except at rare intervals, crosslhe race of the sun. Slowly the moon crept onward until the sun was a narrow crescent. ike the thinnest of new moons Then the face of nature assumed ; irhHstly aspect. a pAices became of : sickly, greenish-yellow hue, though this ettect may haye oeen partly due to the reflection of the dim liuht from the emerald lawn. Six mi n'ltes before the totality, Ve nus came to view. A moment later Jupiter could be seen near the zenith. At this moment, .while ail eyes were strained tocatch-thc first- glimpse of the corona, the silence ieeame so per fect that the ticking of-the sidereal clock was plainly heard. The air grew chilL and then all at once, so quickly that none-could note how the change w.is made, there hung poised in the skv the great black bodv of the moon surrounded by a ringpf glittering, b ir-1 nished silver, from which extended j long rays and irregular bands, like ! remnants of golden and rose-tinted satin ribbons with raveled ends. This1 was the marvelous corona. Mercury" and Mars now came out to join the two larger planets previously noted. LOhe shout of "Oh!" wiit up, then all was still again save for the ticking of the clock and the voice of the timerscalliiig off -the seconds to the busy company of photographers. It was -dark ; it "was rather twilight the uncanny twilight of another world. Objects could plainly, lie tU-cerned, and tlie motionless, - moss-covered arms of the old oaks were the least awe-iuspir ing feature of the lanlseape.

I ....... Crop Rotation. A single svstem of rotttion is n nor can it be applicable., in all locali ties. '1 he only true test of any hv-s tern is its continued success. : In plac ing a judicious-rotation it is advisitlM to alternate v;itn the narrow-leav at cereals, sueh as wheat, oats, bVrley or rye those having broad leaves, sue i as clover, peas and the root crops. Per j en.iicular rooting plants, ami sn.!i a-, root horizontally ought to succeed ea h other. Two plants favorable to t-.e growth of weeds ought not to suce-v i each other. Grain and oil plants shoul I only be grown at intervals unless the soil is in excellent condition. Planrs which prove to be the least exhaustive should invariably be alternated w.th those of an opposite character. As the most important elements of plant food are nitrogen, phosphoric acid aud potash, it is necessary that such crops lierown in succession as do not require the same substances in equal amount. For example, while the cotton crop appropriates much more nitrogen than the corn crop, it tak quite as much potash and phosphor.e acid. JOr, as stated by Prof. Pendleton, there is taken up by one crop of cot ton, 81,01) nitrogen, 0,03 phosphoric acid, 11,00 potash; for crops of corn, 35,00 nitrogen, 10,08 phosphoric acid, 8,58 potash. Thus it seems that cott n and corn feed alike on these substances, the main difference being to the qnan ity of each. A double crop of corn would consume about as much of these substances a half a crop of cotton. Of the other principal crop in the South, the oat crop destroys more potash than the others, and the field pea less phos phoric acid, .while each of these crops consume more nitrogen than corn or wheat. Among the miriv special advan tages of rotation, a yerv decided one i that it affords the means of destroying weeds ana no: weeds and noxious insects. The latter. if deprived of sf!lson,s. 1,1 slj their special food for two seasons in succession, usuauy-uie oi , . . ,. . . , , starvation. Clover is of special vain in a rotation, as the shade produced by us ranK growtn or ionage favors the develoyment and storage of nitrogen ous matter near the surtace. Another advantage gained by rotation is that it affords the land an opportunity to rest. The length of this rest should be deternined by the supply of vegeta ble matter in the soil. The less the I , tr rest everv fourth vear is tne best, now- I .mm 1 I i i ever, the leading object in any system of rotation should 1 to re tl.ze the i niy-nest nront iroiu oui uiiiu, auu hi, me same time to preserve or mere e its fer I o I - I ..... .... . . . . - tility. w hue it cannot oe consisteni, i , . , ., . . .. ....

Later padded gloves were intro duced, and later still the racquet In 1424 a girl named Margot excelled all men players of the game. She wore no gloves, and struck the ball indifferently with the palm and back of her hand. ' The name "fives "seems to 'point td a development Qf trie jeu de pan me- in which there were five players aside ; and it is on record that a match of this description was played at Elvetham ty the "Marquess of Hertford's servants for the edification of Queen Elizabeth, who, as In duty bound, expressed herself vastly delighted-with the performance. But long before the days of Queen Bess tennis proper had burst into its compli cated life. Her royal grandfather and father were both great exp nents of the game, and it is to be noted with sorrow that the former pursued the reprehensi ble practice of having "something ou the game." There may still be seen a paper or accounts with the entry, item, for the king's loss at tennis, twelve pence; for the loss of balls, three pence." Th memory of Henry VIIL'& great game is still green in the annals of tennis. He played with the Emperor Maximilian against the Prince of Orange and the Margrave of Branden burg; and eleven games were played. and then the parties agreed t leave off and consider the contest as undecided; though on what ground this last step was taken is not very obvious to the modern, who has a tentiwxy to believe that one side must have the advantage after an uneven number of games. The direct descendant of tennis is the game known as the, lawn tennis. Though of comparatively recent origin, its author ship is not less obscure than that of J unius's letters; and the warfare already waged in pamphlets, on the subject is probably but a foretaste of the disi ute that will be raised a few hundred years hence, when there will have been time for several more inventors to have claimed the credit of adapting tennis to the open air. Tennis proper fortunately still survives, though not with the same vigor which characterizes the equally ancient king of ball-games cricket. Golf, hockey and trapball yet Uourish in their own places; but bandybalt stoolball, ringball, dabball and pall mall seems tottering into an early grave. Marbles still afford amusement, though not perhaps, in the same circles of society as in tltc fifteenth century, and the undergraduates of Oxford, in obedience to the statues, have left off playing the game ou the steps of tnt school. Customs ot the Omaha Indian. The Omahas, it appears, form a nation with a considerable body of ordinances. Their supreme ebief is the "sacred pole." It is a cotton-tree whieh, wanting a ruler, they felled two hundred years ago, and, having put hair on its head, invested with authority. It is regularly greased. A prominent warrior is be lieved to have Jost his leg from omitting to grease the pole. Scalps are offered to it Omahas are imaginative in their names. Among them are " ltusty-yeiiow orn-husk" -.Stomach Fat," "Forked Lightning Walks," " She who is Return ing Bellowing." and " She who is Made Muddy as She Moves." Omaha matri monial law is based, like that of most primitive clans, on the view that the community has all the same ancestors. An Omaha may not 'wed his deceased wife's sister unless the dying wife should have said to her brother, " Pity your brother-in-law. Let him marry my sister." Polygamy, within limits, is lawful, with the first wife's consent A man may not lawfully speak to his wife's grandmother. So strict is the Omaha etiquette about mothers-in-law that a son-in-law .will try from the room In which his mother-in-law happens to be. Omahas are cleanly in their habits; they bathe daily.. An untidy man or woman is nicknamed " The man who does not wash his hands," or " The woman who does not comb her hair." They are so redoubtable as archers that they can send an arrow right through a buffalo. They are skilful in games, one of whicli, described as shooting at the rolling wheel, might be popular in Europe, lancing, however, , is their favorite pastime; and , they have a variety of societies or clubs, each of which owns a characteristic dance. There is the rare buffalo dance, danced after the recovery-of a patient, by doc tors, who may, invite members of the horse dance, and not of the wolf dance. The grizzly bear dance has not been danced for ten years. 1 ts dancers paint their bodies yellow, and one wears a grizzly bear's skin The scalp dance is a woman's dance. In the ghost dance no woman may join. . For attaching mouiuings and other light lumber, a new kind of nail has been contrived, which ?eaves no nail holes. It is made with a point' -at each end and with an outwardly projecting head or shoulder mMway between the points. The nail is first driven into the wood by means of a punch which straddles the protruding point and bears on the head... When enough have been dri-en in, the monldiug is placed over the nails and driven down. is or "aec rg 1 the Iiuliaus alw. s "I ir ver s.iw tra :;i in iiiLrie i but ope. ami he did," Storiot About Great Ruble.' k Tlit finest ml or orijmal rnbie Lars -. liitlierto oomu Ira n t!in no gliimriiood of al Svriain. in Pegueu la Ceylon 1 treat -numbers are found in the u linubi Jeps-it-yjbut the orfcLuFmuk mu f bicti Itiey huvo. dio mH.o; luu sut 4jeen - mrehuti VVro ti.i tlu( KiTi;tho V- .
