The sun's” entire surface was covered at twenty- seven winttes and thirty seconds past 11 o'clock, James Fenimore Cooper, the novel ist, thouzh but a youth at the time of the eclipse, was so enthusiastic an ob: server of the spectacle that twenty-five years after the event he wrote a mi- nute account of what he saw and how he {elt during the wonderful occur rence, Mr, Cooper states that as he and other spectators in his company first discerned through their glasses the oval form of the moon darkening the sun’s light an exclamation of delight. almost triumphant, burst involuntarily from the lips of all. The j:eople began gathering into the street. Their usual labors were abandoned, and all faces were turned upward, The noonday heat began to lessen. and there was something of the cool- ness of early morning. Mr. Cooper further strates that “all living crea- tures seemed thrown into a state of azitation. The birds were fluttering to and fro in great excitement. They seemed to mistrust that this was not the gradual approach of evening and were uni.ecided in their movements. Even the dogs became uneasy and drew nearer to their masters. “Every house now gave up its ten- ants. As the light failed more and moire with every passing second the children came flocking about their mothers in teiror. The sun appeared like a young moon of three or four days old. One after the other the stars came into view, which filled the spirit with singular sensations.” The general phenomena at all the places where the eclipse was com- plete or nearly so were the vacillation of the wina, the deep, strange shadow. the yellowish pink of the atmosphere in the west, the flickering and wavy appearance of the sun’s rays when the eclipse was at its height, the chilly feeling, the disturbance among the birds apd fowls and the sight of cer: tain planets with the naked eye. had | These are the Colum- } bia.
