FINE OPPORTUNITY FOR OBSERVATIONS Not a Cloud Screened Pass ing of Moon Before Sun’s Disc and Phenomena Was Observed by Millions. Bronx, N.

Not a cloud screened the passing of i the moon before the sun’s disc nnd all I attending phenomena—Baily Beeds, the i shadow band and the pearly corona, were < observed by thousu'nds who filled the ] Rt reefs and housetops in the northern sec- i tion of the metropolis.. < Mercury, Ji|piter nnd Venus were I as elearly visible as it night. Green, rose and -scarlet flashed the horizon, add- i ing to the great spectacle. The corona I of the sun was perfect. * The shadow- of the -total eclipse stole ’■ across the snow-covered landscape visi- 1 ble about two minutes before and after < totality. - i The total eclipse lasted for-about 30 1 seconds. Bailey’s Beeds dancing Like liquid topaz I strung to sparkling thread hung in the * sky a moment before the eclipse was to- 1 tnl. As it flickered qut the shadow- band ’ flared forth weirdly. < All colors of the spectrum seemed to i burst outward from the moon’s dulKred- ' dish rim. i It seemed like minutes rather than a few seconds. that the darkness saturated « the earth and sky, except tor that small * portion where hung the circle of colorful 1 fire. v 1 Then slowly the shndow band appear- * cd on the opposite side of the solar luna j circle.

A few minutes ! more and the spectacle turned into nat- < ural stages, looking much as it did in the < initial phase, only in reverse like a quar- •’ ter moon of supernatural brilliant grad- I uolly evolving to a full moon’s propor- * tions. Twilight slowly became daylight again. New York, .Tan. 24 (By the Asso ciated Press). —The marvelous spectacle i of the total eclipse of the sun was ob served here today at 9:11 a. m. under t perfect conditions. t In the path of the celestial. shadow it i was seen in the largest city in the coun- t try, in much of the Empire State, in part < of eight others, Minnesota, Michigan, t Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, 1 Connecticut and Rhode Island, and part 1 of the province of Ontario. < The solar eclipse, affected the activity t of more than people living in the totality area. I Striking the earth near Red Lake, i Minn., the moon shadow about 100 miles t wide, crept egsterward in a curve at the I rate of thirty miles a second ’to the At- 1 lantic Ocean, blackening such places as j Toronto, Buffalo, Niagara Falls, Roches- < ter, Scranton, Pa., Patterson. N. J., half ] of New York City, New Haven, Hart- t ford and New .London, Conn., Newport, t R. 1., New Bedford and Nantucket, , Mass. Across the Atlantic it moved to ( disappear in space at a point near the f Shetland Islands after striking the earth ( for 3,000 miles. Two minutes was the longest time any ( city was covered. Either side of the blackness was a twi- 1 light zone about 4,500 miles wide extend ing as far north as Labrador and as far south as the Amazon river. From cilies near the total eclipse area , thousands entered the zones with rail- , rqotb bperating special trains. I Several dozen army planes arose from , - Mitchell Feld at Long Island today above , the clouds some with cameras and some ] with radio equipment to send details to ; those at home.

Numbers of people' left comfortable homes and firesides this morning to go out i-’nto the cold of the early morning air nnd view the eclipse of the sun. which for a time gave to old mother earth in this section of the state an eerie aspect. The eclipse was most pronounced nt a few moments after nine o’clock when the moon overcast the greater part of Old Sol, causing him to shed down a light so weak that it resembled dusk. A few clouds on the horizon shortly af ter sunrise caused the would-be watchers some little apprehension. It was feared that they might spread nnd completely shut off the phenomenon. At about eight, however, the sun peeped oyt from 'behind the bank of clouds and there was a gen eial rejo : cins. From that time on. peo ple could be seen up and down the streets, in front and back yards, in fact, in ev ery available space, looking at the sun through their smoked glasses or films. Shortly after nine, the sun was more nearly totally eclipsed than at any other hour. The moon covered, at this time, about 86 per cent, of the sun’s surface. The lessening light which for some time before nine bad been apparent, now be came marked and for a short time, a most unearthly and weird illumination was shed. Radio fans, of course, spent tlnvr time between running out of doors to take a squint nt the sun and in running back to bear what was coming over the wireless. JPlie concerts nnd announcements which came in in this fashion were said to be as clear as those given out at night. The music, it was stated, was especially good. The present eclipse brought to mind eclipses of past years and the older res r’lleifts had quite a time swapping yarns about eclipses of other times. Two were recalled, the first occurring about 1870 and the last about 1900. Both of these, it .was said, were total. It was recalled! in regard to the eclipse of 1870. that the chickens went to roost, thinking night had fallen. Tbe negroes were terrified and all sorts of prophecies were rife about the end of' the world being at hand hS- -ffe year 1900, he made quite a holiday out of the day, hiring two spanking bays to convey three of hrs lady friends and him self about over the country- preparatory to watching the overshadowing of the sun. Dun’s Trade Review. New Ylork, Jan. 23.—Dun’s tomor row* will say:’ “With strong basic conditions main tained, the general business out'ook con tinues favorable. Despite increased ir regularity in both demand and prices, there are still more points of gain than of loss, and the unusually large con sumption of goods remains a prominent feature. Successive weekly returns of freight traffic show conclusively that distribution of merchandise is exception ally heavy, ear loadings being without precedent for this season, nnd most of the other statistical measures also make satisfactory comparisons. Notwith standing a sharp decrease in stock mar ket operations, bank clearings at New York city this week are 38.1 i>er cent in excess of those of a year ago, while outside centers report an increase of 16.8 per cent. Improvement in merean ttl collections is a phase commented upon in dispatches from various cities, with a liquidation of old indebtedness in the west nnd norttfwest rebeeting the strengthed financial position of the grain farmers.” Weekly bank clearings $9,585,319,- 000.
