Prof. of Astronomy at Providence College, Providence, R.: L, on Sunday morning at 1.09 o'clock was a great disappointment to . those who remained up till that hour to see it. According to the professor the moon was to drift through space her colors were to vary as part of its face would be in a direct view of the sun's rays, while the other part would be darkened by the shadow of our sphere. Later, if the pioi iseor had been right, the moon would be tangent to the shadow so would take on a dark hue and the. face would turas a ruddy brown, finally emerg- ing with Its silvery -golden face. It was either a case of the great astron- omer leaving .the event wrongly tim- ed, or that he was "off his trolly." However, it will be 400 years before a re-occurranee of this phenomenon. MR.
