Sl'X ECLIPSE ,11'XK ,17.
Prof. John A. Brashear, of Alle
gheny, In a signed statement, gives
notice to the public that on June 17,
thero will be an eclipse of the sun,
unlike any other eclipse within the
knowledge of man. In part, Prof
Brashear says:
"The eclipse will be of a very In-
terestlng character from the fact
that for a few seconds it will bo
an annular eclipse, then change to a
total eclipse, then back to an annu
lar eclipse for the second time. The
writer cannot find record of such
an occurrence In any history of as
tronomy, although we have records
of annular eclipses for 400 years
and or total eclipses for thousands
of years. The eclipse as a partial
phase of greator or lesser magni
tude will sweep over the North
American continent from the north,
decreasing In size as It passes
through Canada and the States."
Tho history of stereotyping is a
curious record of conservatism. The
llrst practical form of stereotyping
was invented In Edinburgh, in
1"3!, by William Ged, a goldsmith,
but after his death tho invention
vas dormant until its revival, in j
1S06. by Earl Stanhope, in London. I
This was the clay process. by
which only Hat plates could ho
made. In lb.r(! the papier inachc
process, now used by all newspa
pers, and by which The Citizen and I
its Honesdale contemporaries are'
enabled to give the latest news, up ,
to 'practically the hour of putting
tl.e paper to press, was introduced i
in the London Times by the Broth
ers Dellagana, who aine from
Switzerland. They cast each col
umn separately, giving each the
necessary curve. Prior to tho
Dellagana invention, newspapers
ere printed direct from type
forms, the type being arranged in
curved mold. The Tribune lmd in- ,
around cylinders. Only one copy
of a paper could be printed at a
time so long as type was used, but
wheh curved stereotyping was In-
ented it became possible to repro
duce a newspaper many times, en
abling many copies to he printed
simultaneously. The llrst newspa
per to be stereotyped in America
was the New York Tribune, in
August, 1 SGI. The plates were j
made by Charles Craske, who was
the first to cast an entire page In a
curves mold. The Tribune had in
vestigated the stereotyping proposi
tion for three years before it adopt
ed it, but it was the large increase
of circulation Induced by the Civil
War that compelled it to commence
the duplication of type pages by
stereotyping. Other

electric circuit, of wich they form
the segment of highest resistance,
rience, when a strong current is

Breech-loading cannon were among

heavy iron rings, and was. loaded
