Two Eclipses This Season,
Two eclipses of the sun are sched-
uled for the year 1867. The first one
will take place, the astronomers say,
Feb. 1. It is what is known as an an-
nular, or ring, eclipse, which means
that the moon will pass across its cen-
tre in such a way that if an observer
were in a favorable position he would
see a large black spot in the fuce of the
chief luminary, with a wide ring of
light about it. The eclipse will be vis-
ible to North America, south of a line
drawn through Boston, Memphis and
La Paz, Lower California. It will be
observed in this country from the
is due July 29, and will be visible in
ull parts of the country.
