The shadow of the earth began creeping across the moon at 9.28 p.m. Tuesday, and grraduaIly the moon took on a blood -coloured hue . . Then at 10.28 p.m,, the moon was totally obscured, this continuing for 86 minutes . The eclipse was the first in four yeers, but for those who didn't have the pleasure of viewing it, there will be another eclipse of the moon on October 6 next . , , HERE'S AN ODDITY OF NA- ture or the heavens or' some- thing! . Mrs. Victor Kennedy, Londesboro, brought into The NEWS -RECORD office this week an oddly -shaped stone which she found some time ago on the Iane leading from The barn to the cow pasture . . . The stone had not been seen on the path previous- ly, and was of a different texture from others usually found on the farm . . It has been suggested that this stone might be a smell fraction of some meteor that might have fallen in the past . It was discovered prior to the recent meteor which fell some where in this area, probably in- to Lake Huron, so there could have been no relation between the two events , THE FARMERS SOF THIS AREA are very busy on the land these days, end R.
