AFTER THE TuAorps,-The superin- tendedt of the G. T. R. has notified all agents, operators, roadma,sters and section foreman to keep a lookout for tramps. For the purpose ofriddling the country of thiefs, trannps and vaerants it, has been arranged with the authori ties in Ontario to send officers over the lines to arrest or drive from the coun- try any persons of this character found on the trains, about station premises, or on the right-of-way. The agents are to report, every day the presence of tramps in their locality, stating the direction in which they are travelling. How ARE TRE MARKETS? -The edi- tor being busy when he called he was referred to the ciffivis wit who looked sage and said: -Young men unsteady; girls lively willing and in demand; pa. pas, firm but dechoing; Thames, unset- tled but. waiting for higher bids; coffee considerably mixed; fresh fish active and slippery; eggs, quiet- but ,expected to open up shortly; whisky. still going down; onions, etrong and rising; bread - stuffs, heavy; boots and shoes, those in the market are eoled and are constant- Iy gning up and down; hats and caps nct as high as last year, except fools- cap, which is stationary; tobacco very low and has a downward tendency; silver, close, but not c.ose enough to get hold of; cheese. lively'. OLD Sol. IN Rararen. - The great. -eclipse• f tbe sun is passed. Splendid weather conditions rendered it plainly visible in this localitylandit vvas ening- nificent epectarle. Everywhere were to be seen people with smoked glass to obtain a glimpse of the struggle of the moon to hide from our vision the great luminary of heaven: The outlines were sharp and distinct and. devoid of that halo which renders an observa- tion unsatisfactory. The progress of the R1001:1'f4 shadow over the sun was rapid, and the contrast between the extreme brightness of the latter and the inky blackness of the former wee inspiring. The total duration of the eclipse was about two and one half hours. The first contact took place at bout 7.55. and the last plum ehortly before 10.80. The shadow was first seen style. upper right-hand side of •the sun'a disc,and at 9.03 WAS the great- est ol,tieuration, in other worth about three -sevenths of the disc was maVered, SO that there was a noticeable diminuo tion Of daylight At no time did it ap- pear to cotter the upper quarter of the planet, and moved from north-wetit to southeast. Hundreds of people watch- ed the progress) of the masa g shadow oyer the surface of the eutt through Iltnoked or ruby glace. From the pa- pers we learn observations and photo- graphs were taken in many parte of the globe, principally in the southern states. The next total eclipse will be observable in America on Juno gth, 1918, and totality will confine ' iterelf to the Southern States, A total eelipite occurs on.May JSrh, 1901, but only to thote who are in Borneo and Sumatra at the time. Eclipses are like comets, they are rare, and when they do come wound great interest is centred in them, tneee especially by astronomers. --- • Wee....0.4.* Vhe Steal:ming Conirnittee of the Remit. ten Methodist Cossferenoe is in etS81011 at 116111111011.
