At thG beginning of this grand enter talnment the moon will be about two and una-half hours nbove the horizon In New Yerk, and lower down for places west. At tbe end It will be approaching the western horizon en the morning of Mon day, The entire tlme occupied by the exhibition will be five hours and thirty nine minutes. The Illustration of the relative position of the sun, earth and moon during the eclipse Till enable readers te clearly un derstand what has already been saltl. It may be of interest te add some distances and measurements that may net have been memorized. The sun is 01,000,000 miles from the earth. The moon is dis tant 210,000 miles from the earth. The length of the moon's shadow is about 210,000 miles. Sometimes the moon Is further than that distance from the earth and sometlmes less. In en annular eclipse the shadow vanishes before It reaches the 'surface of the'earth. But the shadow of 'the earth Is thrown out te the moon, and (does net vanish In a point until It has ,extended 600,000 miles farther Inte space. At the distance of the moon this dark (shadow, or umbra, Is still about 6,700 miles la diameter, and the moon being only 2,100 miles in diameter, considerable time Is taken te get through the shadow, though the moon is rushlug along at the rate of ever 2,000 mllc-i nn hour. Vhlle observers nre waiting for the re appearance of the moon after It cresses the merldlsn up near the zenith they will naturally leek around for ether objects In the midnight sky. The most conspicuous by far will be the king of the planets, Jupiter, In the constellation bcorple With fi geed opera glass Its four moons can be neon. The bright red star near Jupiter is named Antarle, and is also known as cer Scojilenls, the heart of the Scorpion. MAr OP MAItS. . The next most conspicuous star is Mars, 'two hours In time west of Jupiter. This Iplanet resembles the earth In many par ticulars. It has been studled with great care, as the illustration suggests. The dark outlines ero water and tlifl light por tions land. It is bceu that It has four continents. These have been named Ilor Iler ischcl, Dawes, Medler and Secehl, and It is also seen that a railroad might extend loreund the planet en the equator by nytk Inga few bridges. Thelargebedy of water 'containing an Island is named Delarue fea, and the mass In the ether hemisphere Dawns ocean. On the land artificial canals have recently been announced, though their existence is net proven This planet has two moons, but they nre se small that If one should drop some ulght upon the city halls of New Yerk. , Chicago or St. Leuis, tbe debris would net cover one-half of these cities. One of i them flies nreuud Mars in much less time than it takes the planet te turn upon its axis. A bright little, star near Mars is named Splca Virgluls, spica meaning u bheaf of corn. Beth these stars will set a little after midnight en the 22d, 60 that they must he looked for early In the even ing. The next object that will attract atten tion will be tbe great fixed etar Arcturus in the western sky after 0 o'clock, It lies off the haudle of the Dipper or tall of the 'Great Bear, Thisi star is distinguished 'as ene of the twenty whose distance from I the earth has been measured. This dis tance is se enormous that if the star should be annihilated whlle you are looking at it. twenty-five years and eight months would have te pass before the fact could be verified. That Is, It would take that time befere lhjht starting from It en the night of the 22d could reach the earth, though coming at the rate of 200,000 miles inn second of tlme. It takes fifteen figures te give this distance in miles, thus: l&L 600.000.000,000, or one hundred and eighty, fire trillion miles nearly. East et Arcturus are Vega and Altalr, of dazzling whiteness. The distance of Vega in the Lyre is also known and it takes light twenty-ene years and three months te pass between It and the earth. Altalr is the large control star of three in a line In the milky way. The constella tion is called Aquila, or the Eagle. Its dlsluice Is net known. Ntar the Lyre is the beautiful conste! censte! lutlcm Cygnus, or the Swan. Its princl pal stars form a cress, nprels thn.innMA etar, Sixty-one Cygul. It is double, and it takes light only six and a half years te reach us from this sun. It is one of the most beautiful telescopic objects in the heavens, and a common three or four feet telescope brings it out unely. Nexi te Alpha Centauri In the southern hemisphere this star is nearest of all te us whose distance has been calculated At midnight the Sweu will have passed the meridian and be slew!) turning te dive down below the western horizon. De net forget the Pele Star, ale double, and whose light is exactly fifty years in reaching the earth. The pointers of the Dipper guide you te It. it is the only stationary star in the northern hemisphere. If you stay up until the eclipse ends the great square of Pe-gasus will appear in the northeast, followed by the uplendld constellation Andromeda. -Te enjoy the view thoroughly a little practice two or three nights before the eclipse occurs should be taken. The phyllexera is threading in the vine yards of California. Anether disease called root ret has also appeared te old iu tbe work of destruction.

Charles Themas Tloquet has thrce pre- icssiens, in men of which he is distinguished. He Is a politlcleu, n lawyer and a jour nalist. He was born In 1827 In St. Jean de Luz, in the Lewer Pyre nees.

He was connected with The Temps, The Siecle (The Times and The Age) and ether jour nals. In these he gave expression te such radical views ns te bring the censure of t lie government en the papers In which they appeared. He advocated the cause of the family of Victer Nelr after his nssnsuiatien by Prince Piorre Boneparto, nnd succeeded In jetting damages for them. He also successfully defended Cournet wheu he was tried for partlclpftt lug iu the Communist plots of 1810. He achieved his great notoriety confronting Napeleon III and the late cznr of Russia with the cry of "Vive la Pologne," or "Leng llve Poland," for which he suffered a few days' Imprisonment.

The most epacieus of these chambers, usually far underground, is very properly allocated te the head of the society, the queen. The queen tcrmlte Is n very rare insect, nnd as there are seldom mere than one, or nt most two, te a colony, and as the royal apartments are hidden far in the earth, few persons have ever seen a queen, and indeed most. If they did happen te come ncress it, from its very singular appear ance, would refuse te bolleve that it hail tiny ccimcctieu with white nuts.

Pall Mall Gazette I'lpnused mi Indian Trlucc. At the studio of a young portrait painter I faw yesterday n picture which was very curious lu its subject. It contained two upright figures ene that of a swarthy Indian jnjah covered with jewels and wearing n star of India upon his breast, the ether n tall and lovely English girl el about 18, in a pink dress, her hair feathered behind her by n ribbon and fall ng loeso again. The rajah Is Smiling the smile of pond possessershlp, nnd the j eung girl Is looking with ft somewhat bewildered air nt her future lord. They nre two real people. She is the daughter of an English chemist, nnd her parents have consented te her mnrrlnge with the rnjah, who, after the ceremony, will take her out te his dominions. One instnnce of such marringe between Chrisllnu maid and pagan man Is very well known, and has turned out n decided success. A Miss King, the daughter of a governor of an English jail, mairied about thirteen years nge "the shereef of Oran," who is tne spiritual head of the empires of Morocco. The shereef, who is a de scendant of the prophet, en marrying Miss King, renounced all his ether wives, whom he ledged lu an asylum at Tangier, which it is a part of his duty te keep up for the refngees from the secular power, nnd he moreover gave te his seu by his Christian wife the sacred stick, the pos session of which tit the tlme of the shereef's death determines the succession among his children te his bacred office and great possessions.
