CLOSED ON SUNDAYS. -Ike cable
message from Hon. I. Tarte to Ron. S.:
Fisher announcing the closing Of the
ailonial exhibit on Sundays at the
P iris Exposition was supplemented bv
a despatch to Mr Fisher from Mr 3. r -
dine, Ontario Commissioner, •'which
said•the Colonial building, including
()median, Australian, •Mauritius and
Vincennes exhibits would be closed on
Sundays, not even the portion outside
the gates to be kept open.
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-

Iy gning up and down; hats and caps
nct as high as last year, except fools-
cap, which is stationary; tobacco very

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.
