Board's Ejection Expenses.
President Rudolph Yechout of the board
of education aald yesterday afternoon that
a special meeting of the board would be
held to settle the question of the expenses
of the late election. "The cost," said
Mr.. Yechout, 'is 1720 and It waa, I think,
because the amount was not stated the
council would not help us out."
At the meeting of the council Monday
night a resolution waa received from the
board asking that body to foot the bill
until the end of the financial year wuen the
school fund would be In a healthier condi
tion. This, the council declined to do and
President Yechout thinks that when the
council learns the small sum it will be re
sponsible for, it will come to the aid of
the board and enable those who worked
on election day to get their money.

As mentioned on March 31, in our As
tronomical Happenings In April, a partial
eclipse of the sun will take place In Omaha
today. The annexed figure will tell us
what to expect. The circle represents the
sun with Its cardinal points N E S W, the
PO..U T being on top. First oontact will occur
at 6 o'clock 36 minutes 3G.4 seconds p. m.,
when the moon will begin to Indent the sun
at tho point F, very nearly 46 degrees to
the left of Its lowest point. At 6:08 the
observation will have reached Its maximum
and a small piece will seem to have been
cut off the sun's left side. This may be
seen through a smoked glass or by punch
ing a small hole In a cardboard and catch
ing the solar Image on a piece of white
paper. The last contact will occur at
o'clock 26 minutes M.2 seconds, and tha
moon will leave the sun at the point L. '
The total eclipse of the sun will be visi
ble as a partial eclipse over the larger
part of the United States. The accom-
T
panylng map will show the circumstances.
The curves marked as the northern limit
and as the beginning, middle and end of
the eclipse at sunset, are sufficiently in
tclllgible without explanation. The parallel
ovals marked 0, 1. 2, S, 4. 6, show the
tenths of the sun's diameter eclipsed at
tho moment of suniSM, with this difference,
that to the east of the middle line the
eclipse will still be Increasing at that time,
while to the west of it, it will be decreas
