It was practically impos­ sible to view the eclipse with fhe naked eye owing to the blinding rays of the sun. 'Smoked, glass or photo film permitted the observer to get a splendid view or an easier method is to catch a reflection in a window of a store facing west. The eclipse started at 1.56 p.m. and reached its greatest point at. 8.19. The light was ‘somewhat dimmed as the eclipse was in progress. COATES—In aUsborne >ou’,-Thursday#.
