24 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1895. THE COMING LUNAR ECLIPSE. BY ROSE OHALLORAN. B It is not often that three eclipses come within a period of thirty days as during the present season, On the 20th of last month (August) more than one-fourth of the sun’s disk was eclipsed to a large portion of Russia and Northeastern Asia; on September 19 next the morning sun will appear in crescent form to the inhabi- tants of Southeastern Australia and New Zealand ; and midway between these dates, or on the evening of September 3, the moon will be totally eclipsed to more than one-half the globe, including the United States. The summer of 1888 was also a season of triple eclif though the weather proved unfavorable on this coast for observation of the lunar eclipse. The lunar eclipse of last March, also unseen on account of in- tervening clouds, was followed in two weeks by a partial solar eclips Whenever two eclipses of the sun occur within a period of about thirty days they must be only partial, and a total eclipse of the moon is inevitable at mid-interval. To understand this clearly it must be re- membered that in about four weeks the moon revolves round the earth, part of its tbit being a few degrees above and part a few degrees below the plane of the ecliptic which passes centrally through the earth and sun; that a solar eclipse is caused when the moon in passing between the diagram represents a cross-section of the shadow encircled by the penumbral ris- gion, and as the sun’is not included, the | relative proportions are fairly-correct. At 6:48 p. M. the moon will enter the penumbra, but as the earth is then inter- cepting only a portion of the sun’s disk, there is but a shight decrease in its usual luster. At 8 p. . it will have advanced east- ward through the penumbra, and its northeast limb comes in contact with the | umbra or deep shadow. As its outline is not sharply defined, the moment of first contact can only theo- retically determined, but it will svon be evident that the dark marking on the disk known to selenographers as the Ocean of Storms is invaded by an unwonted gloom, less distinct at first than that of the terminator, Those who have telescopes will soon observe that Aristarchus, the brightest lunar mountain, is growing dim and indis- | tinct, and gradually Copernicus, the Apen- nines and the central plains will also be engulfed in shade. Just before 9 o’clock a slender crescent will alone indicate the place of the vanished full moon. Its reversed curvature and advent at night shows it to be different from the crescent in the eastern heavens at day- | break, but ill much resemble the young | moon of twilizht straying far from its ac~ | customed route near the western horizon. | From 9:06 to 10:47 P, M. a moonless sky | will be above us, and the star streams of THE MOON IN THE EARTH’S SHADOW. earth and sun cuts off our view of the sun’s disk wholly or in part; that a lanar eclipse occurs when the moon passes into the earth’s shadow, and is thus deprived wholly or in part of the sunlight with which it is usnally illuminated, and that the earth’s shadow always projects in a direction opposite to that of the sun. Generally the moon passes too far above or below the plane of the sun, the earth and its shadow to have any interception of light take place; but when at or near its nodes, which are the two points of the orbit where it passes above and below the plane of earth and sun, there will be more or less of an eclipse. The boundary lines between these conditions, or that point where the moon seems merely to graze the rim of the disk or of the earth’s shadow, are known technically as the ecliptic limits. The sun, after its northeast edge or limb was eclipsed August 20, passed along its apparent path at the rate of about a de- gree per day, and on September 4 will ar. rive in the line of sight of the moon’s de- scending node, the shadow of the earth be- ing then at the opposite or ascending node 180 degrees distant. In the meantime where is the fast- traveling moon to be found? As it moves 180 degrees in less than four- teen da t will have gone more than | balf way round the heayens, and just be- fore it passes its ascending node “will be immersed the earth’s shadow on the night of the 3d of September, and speeding round will overtake the sun September 19 before it has gone sufficiently beyond the opposite node to escave eclipse. f the first solar eclipse had occurred | Aquarius will glimmer out, no longer dimmed by the radiance of the orb of night. A close watch even with an opera- glasswill show that some of these stars in | the path of the moon disappear suddenly | from view on the east side and reappear on | the west side, for though seif-luminous and | independent of the earth’s shadow their occultation by the darkened moon is more | noticeable than at other times when lostin its luster. A careful noting of the exact time of these phenomena helps to define | the place of the moon very accurately, and 1 it is thus a useful and interesting observa- tion. } The moon, baving passed rapidly throngh | all its phases, wanders in gloom for thousands of miles, not really bereft of any attribute essentially its own, but tem- | porarily restored to its innate opacity. | For the brief space of 1 hour 41 minutes it has its true footing among the heavenly bodies as a cold, dark encrusted sphere | whose existence would be forever unknown | if it were beyond the reach of sunlight. | "1t also reminds us of what our world | would be under similar circumstances. In | & solar eclipse the small lunar shadow | obstructs the light but for a few minutes from an area of the earth only about 150 miles in diameter. Though the moon is said to be totally eclipsed when within the earth’s shadow the statement needs to be | modified, as may perhaps be demon- | strated on next Tuesday evening. It fre- | quently happens that even when in the | depth of the shadow it remains dimly vis- | ible, like a faded photograph of its lumin- ous aspect. This apparition, which differs noticeably 8 THE ECLIPSE AT 9:57 P. M. very near the node, though a lunar eclipse might take place in two weeks, another | solar eclipse within a month would be im- | possible. On account of the small extent | of the lunar ecliptic limits the reversed | }vhenomenon of a solar eclipse between two | unar eclipses is also impossible. The fiiot | diagram gives an idea of the relative posi- tions of the sun, earth and moon on the evening of September 3. The relative dimensions cannot be con- veniently represented, owing to the enor- mous size and distance of the sun, but the outline explains bow our satellite, in total eclipse, is immersed in the cone-shaped shadow of the earth at a little more than a | third the distance from the base of the cone, around which lies a penumbral region where only a portion of the sun- light is intercepted. The lines show how the angles of the umbra and penumbra depend on the size and distance of the illuminating body, the | gun, but are necessarily out of proportion. Some minutes past 6 p. M. September 3 the | -nearly full moon will rise south of the east point of the horizon, but while the | earth’s rotation thus brings it into view of us, its own motion is obliquely eastward at the rate of about half a degree, which is nearly equal to its diameter, in one hour. At 8 p. M. the shadow of our earth is pro- jected into space northeast of the moony and the sun, with which it inevitably keeps pace, is in a corresponding position below the northwestern horizon. At evening we are always in the western end of the base of this cone shadow, which would sweep round the firmament unseen and unknown if theory and the passing moon had not revealed it. _This is one of those paradoxical cases in which darkness brings visibility and from the gray-tinted body seen in the curve of the young crescent every month, remained a puzzling, unexplained fact for many years and evoked some strange con- jectures. Keplerdiscovered the true cause three centuries ago. As the sun shines on the side of our rlanet, turned away from its eclipsed satel- ite, not a ray could reach the latter but for the vaporous atmosphere which en- velopes the earth to adepth of many miles. The rays, instead ofdg]ancing all round into empty space at the edge of the illumination, have been curved somewhat toward the slope of the dark hemisphere and in pass- ing into space in this altered direction some of them. fall on the otherwise dark moon. This refraction, always noticeable when heavenly bodies are on the horizon, has an increased effect as the rays curve round through a greater extent of atmosphere and if it were possible to view our worls | from the position of the moon it would be seen encircled by a shallow but distinct crimson halo on many occasions. It would be deeper than the sunset tints, because a far Jonger extent of atmosphere would have more effectually absorbed the other colors of which light is composed. It will not be surprising then if the eclipsed moon becomes faintly discernible with a dull capmrg tint. A noted case was that of March 19, 1848, when some ob- servers have described the shaded surface as being far brighter than in other recorded eclipses. The light was of a deep red color. During the totality, the light and dark places on the face of the moon could be almost as well made out as on anordinary dull moonlight night, and the deep red color when the sky was clearer was very remarkable from the contrasted whiteness (fguratively) sheds light.

This occurred during the total eclipses of 1642, 1761, 1816, and according to some authorities in 1884 and 1886. The eclipse of 1761 is thus described by a com- tent observer: *“The moon’s body had appeared so completely that not the slizhtest trace of any portion of the lunar disk could be discerned cither with the naked eye or with the telescope, although the sky was clear and the stars in the vicinity of the moon were distinctly visible in the telescope.” As meteorological science is still 1n its infancy, it is impossible to predict which condition will predominate on the evening of next Tuesday. As represented in the second diagram the lunar disk is midway in the shadow at 9:57, and an hour later the totality will be past and a slender crescent will glimmer not far from the meridian, an unwonted lace and hour for the appearance of that amiliar outline. Having again rapidly repeated its phases in a reversed order the shadow will pass off on the western limb beyond those well- known craters, Langrenus and Petavius, and 110 degrees from the north point or a little south of west, and at midnight it will shine from the meridian in fuil outline, though almost 1mperceptibly dimmed by the penumbra. At 1:06 A. M. September 4 its usual radi- ance will be resumed, and it will not be totally eclipsed again to observers on this coast during the present century. Rose O'HALLORAN. BRANCH RESCUE STATIONS. Salvation Army Beulah Work to Be Ex- tended Throughout the State. The Salvation Army is about to estab- lish a series of rescue stations throughout the State in connection with the Home for Girls at Beulah. An officer will be in charge of each station, and the work of the soldiers under his or her charge will" be entirely in the effort to take young girls away from dangerous and demoralizing surroundings. There will be several stations in San Francisco and corps for the work will also be established in Sacramento, San Jose, Stockton and Los Angeles, and other cities may eventually be included. The Beulah Rescue Home has been found a successful means of reformation in many cases, and the object of the managers in establishing the branch stations is to open the doors of the institution to all who may desire to seek that refuge. It is expected that the new stations will be in charge of the women of the army, among whom are included some of the most prominent of the officers on this coast. FELL FROM HIS BIOYOLE. Serfous Accident to A. Steinfeld, a Dry- Goods Merchant From Tucson. A. Steinfeld, a day-goods merchant in Tucson, Ariz., came to the City for a week’s vacation, and was a guest at the Montrose Hotel, corner of Geary street and Van Ness avenne. -~ Yesterday morning he hired a bicycle and whileriding on Golden Gate avenue, near Scott street, he lost control of his machine and was thrown to the ground. He was picked up unconscious and was taken to the Receiving Hospital in the ambuwance. It was found that his nose was badly cut and he had sustained a possible fracture of the skull. iy ‘When he regained consciousness he said he was subject to dizzy spells and he was seized with one while riding the bicycle. ————— Abused His Mother. W. H. Kelly, alias Campbell, appeared in Judge Low’s court yesterday to answer to the charge of vagraney. His mother, Mrs. Rose Kelly, testified against him. She said he was a drunkard and would not work and was in the habit of abusing her. She wanted him to keep away from her.. The .Ynd,e sentenced him to six'months in the County Jail. DR, CASE'S UNIQUE THEME The Prominent Methodist Divine Discusses on Men= tal Diseases. Grace Church Festlval-Reception to the Misses Oveatt—Dr. Githens’ Sermon. The annual California conference of the Methodist Episcopal church will be held at Pacific Grove from the 11th to the 15th inst. inclusive. Bishop H. W. Warren, equally prominent as an ecclesiastic and an astronomer, will preside. It will be a conference of more than usual importance, because of the election of six delegates to the General Conference to be held in May. The question of the admission of women to the General Conference will come up for discussion. The Lay Association will meet on Friday afternoon following the opening of the conference. Among the upe‘keu of note from a distance will be Dr. M. S. Hard, assistant secretary of the Church Extension Society. Dr. Hard was a class- mate of Bishop Fowler’s. Dr.J. W. Ham- ilton of Boston, representing the Freed- men’s Aid and Southern Educational Society, and Dr. Homer Eaton of the Methodist Publishing-house will address the conference. The Grace Church choir, which was re- cently reorganized and is_now under the directorship of William H. Holt, consists of: First tenors—Frank Coffin, Clarence ‘Wendell, Algernon Aspland, Peter Lamar; second_ tenors—Robert Smith, Leonard E. McLellan, James G. Simonton; fiist bassos—D. M. Warde, F. G. B. Mills; sec- ond bassos—Hugh Williamson, W.

Mr. Cole will take a charge at Weaverville, The farewell reception to Misses Gene- vieve and Minnie Oveatt at the Howard Presbyterian Church on Friday evening must have been gratifying to the young ladies, because of the number of friends present, as well as the heartfelt interest all showed in their approaching departure. ‘The chapel was crowded during the ren- dering of the programme, which consisted of short addresses by Rev. F. R. Farrand and Elder J. B. Roberts, musical selec- tions by Miss Decker, Miss Mary Morse, Miss Florence Jackson, Miss Neilson, Mr. Neilson, Frank Petersen and George Brem- ner. The gntor, speaking in behalf of the Sunday-school, presented each of the ladies with a watch, and John D. Graham, as spokesman’ of the Christian Endeavor Society, presented a portable trunk organ, such as missionaries can carry with them in small compass in their travels. The young Feople of the San Francisco Presbytery will meet in Calvary Churchon Friday evening. Rev. H. N. Bevier, the newly elected president, will occupy the chair, and there will be an address by Dr. Hemphill.
