Time' was and I feel that I should
finish the quotation by saying, "When
the little toy dog was new and the
soldier was passing fair," but this is
no time for sorrow and I had intended
to talk about Thanksgiving. To re
sume the thread of thought, then,
time was when Thanksgiving stood
for snow and sleigh rides to the old
country place, where all the cousins
and uncles and aunts, big and little,
gathered after service at the little
country church to give thanks with
grandfather and grandmother over a
bountiful turkey dinner.
Thanksgiving stilt remains the day
of homecomings and plentiful repasts,
but snow and sleigh-bells have gone
out of fashion. Now we frown if dark
clouds threaten a downfall of flakes,
for our plans necessitate clear weather
our plans, you understand, to at
tend one of the numerous foot ball

Notre Dame fray and yet others will
attend the High school-St. Joseph
game or the Creighton game here.
Some visitors are coming to make the
day festive and despite all our troubles
and the high cost of living Omaha
will lift a radiant face tomorrow morn
to give thanks for its many blessings.
Many celebrations will begin this
eveningf when the FonteneTle, the
Blackstone and the Omaha club will
be the scene of a large number of big
Thanksgiving dinner parties.

Fancy Prices for Thanksgiv
ing Birds and Drop Comes.
00 BOYCOTT IS AT WORK
Pittsburgh, Pa., Nov. 29. With the
public refusing to buy the turkeys at
high prices, the market here has sus
tained another sharp slump and
prices today were as low as 18 cents
a pound for the live fowls and a large
supply on hand.
Shippers who had sent many car
loads and boat loads here expecting
to sell their fowls for 35 cents a
pound live weight, found few buyers
and they had to slash their quotations
or find no takers.
Retail dealers are still holding out
for 35 cents a pound dressed weight,
but some were forced to sell as low as
22 cents a pound yesterday.
Shippers had been expecting to get
35 cents a pound live weight. Some
shippers, rather than accept the low
prices, sent loads of turkeys back to
Ohio and West Virginia. Others sold
for what they could get. Further
price reductions are expected.
Egg Prices Co Down.
New York,Nov. 29. The price of
cold storage eggs at wholesale was
1 to 2 cents lower today than yester
day morning when the egg boycott
began.
Eggs sold at 34 to 38 cents a dozen,
according to grade. The average price
for fresh eggs was 63 cents, as com
pared with 55 cents at this time a
year ago. The price of fresh eggs
showed no change from yesterday.
Some wholesale dealers asserted
that the boycott would play into the
hands of -foreign buyers. They said
that, men who want eggs for export
are waiting for a price reduction. The
Housewives' league today continued
active missionary work to discourage
the use of eggs. '
Chicago, Nov. 29. City," state and
federal officials together with civic,
women's and other organizations
were working today in an attempt to
solve the high cost of foodstuffs
problem.
It was announced that municipal in
spectors had discovered in storage
about 800,000 eggs of questionable
quality, while more than 2,000,000
eggs were found in cold storage
houses awaiting price increases. In
addition government inspectors found
36,000,000 et,gs stored in another
warehouse.
Charles F. Clyne, United States dis
trict attorney, began an inquiry into
charges that James E. Wetz is the
holder of 72,000,000 eggs in Chicago
and to learn if Wetz is not the actual
owner who is backing the alleged at
tempted corner.

Heavens in December Sun Described by Father Rigge, Who Tells
of One of the Unusual Marvels of Terrestrial Geography and Sidmal Astronomy
By WILLIAM F. RIGGE.
This month brings with it a most
exceptional eclipse, nothing leas than
an eclipse of the Christmas midnight
sun. Although nothing whatever ot
It will be visible to us In Omaha, the
occurrence Itself I so Interesting that
It may well find a place here. This
eclipse, which la In a certain way the
most remarkable that can possibly
occur, will come when we are busily
preparing for Christmas, that la, when
our clocks show t p. m. central time
on Christmas eve. We In the United
States will not even get a glimpse of
it nor will any one in the whole of
North and South America, nor In the
wide extent of the Pacific ocean. For
us and for all these lands and seaa the
sun will be shining undimmed In Its
full splendor, as far aa the weather
and the season permit. But far away
In the Antarctic ocean, about half
way between the Cape of Ciood Hope
and the South Pole, over a limited
tract of unfrequented waters, the sun
will be eclipsed to such a tiny extent,
a trine over 1 per cent, that it seems
to be a downright waste of time, If
not absolute folly, to mention It at
all. But for the ships that may be
there to nee it, the eclipse will occur
when some of them have midnight,
Christmas midnight, while others have
any hour or minute on Christmas eve
from 9:41 p. m. to midnight and few
have already for a few minutes after
midnight begun Christmas day.
Look at figure 2 for explanation.
Here we have the earth, the sunlit
hemlaphere, aa It will appear to the
sun at 3:40 p. m., central time. The
sun will then be overhead in the cen
ter of the figure, in latitude 23 degrees,
26 minutes south, and In longitude 130
degreea west. The greater part of
North America, and all except the ex
treme eastern part of South America,
the whole Pacific ocean and a part of
Australia will then have day. As the
earth Is turning eastward on its axis,
that is, towards the right in the dia
gram, the sun will be setting all along
the entire right half of the circle thai
is seen to bound the terrestrial globe
in figure 2, and rising all along Its
left half. The north pole is not visi
ble, it Is In the middle of Its six
months' darkness. The south pole,
however, Is in full view, and aa the
date is but a few days after the win
ter solstice, the sun's rays shine 28
degrees and 26 minutes beyond the
South Pole, so that If the earth did
not move In an orbit around the sun,
but only turned on Its axis, all the
sunlit region about the South Pole
would have perpetual day.
The line N 8 crossing the earth is
the central meridian, the only one of
all the meridians on the earth to be
projected Into a straight line at the
time mentioned, when our clocks show
2:40 p. m., central time, on Christmas
eve. Its longitude, as said before, is
130 degrees west. All along that line
It is noon. if we were to start at the
very top of the figure near the letter
N in latitude 66 degrees, 36 minutes
north, the sun would be seen to just
rise above the southern , horizon at
midday. For every degree of latitude
that we go south on this central merid
ian, the sun Is one degree higher at
noon, and the day is getting longer.
From a few minutes in latitude 06 de
grees 36 minutes north, it lengthens
to twelve hours at the equator, where
its length never changes all the year
round. When we come to latitude
23 degrees, 26 minutes south, to the
place In the exact center of the dia
gram, the sun Is directly overhead.
As we proceed southward, the sun be
gins to sink towards the north. The
day is all the time lengthening and
becomes equal to twenty-four hours
as we reach latitude 66 degrees, 36
minutes south, beyond which It
lengthens rapidly until it becomes six
months long at the pole.
As soon as we arrive at the south
pole, there is no direction but north,
since we eannot possibly go farther
south than the south pole, and when
we have reached It, any rurtner mo
tion must take us away from it, that
is, carry us north. Hence, aa soon as
we have passed the South Pole, while
we continue on our straight line or on
our great circle, we are going north,
the sun is now south of us, instead
of north, as it was before, and noon
has changed to midnight. The sun
Is visible until we oome to 66 degrees,
36 minutes, south latitude, the lower
most point on our diagram, when it
will sink below the south horlson. All
the way between this latitude and the
pole, we can1 see the sun at midnight.
As we leave this limit, that is, pro
ceed on our northward journey past
the lowermost point on the diagram
and enter the dark hemisphere, the
sun begins to dip more and more be
low the south horizon at midnight.
And all that has been said about our
Journey from 66 degreea, 36 minutes,
north latitude, across the sunlight
hemisphere towards 66 degrees, 36
minutes, south latitude, beyond the
south pole, will be repeated in the
same order If we exchange night and
day, and north and south.
I must call attention to another
fact, that is, as soon as we passed the
south pole, our meridian changed 180
degrees, from being 180 degrees west.
It becomes 60 degrees east. We will
need all these facts to understand the
exceptional circumstances of the pres
ent eclipse.
The reader will also notice that
only two meridians have been drawn
across the south pole for the region
within ten degrees of It. This was
done to avoid confusion, slnoe all the
meridians meet at the poles. The
two, or we may say, the four that
are drawn, are first, the meridian of
Greenwich, which is the one to the
right and below, and quickly enters
the dark hemisphere. The second
one, the upper one to the right, is
the ninetieth meridian, which we may
trace through the middle of the Gulf
of Mexico and the United States, and
which is our own standard meridian
and gives us central time, this being
six hours slow of Greenwich. The
next one on the diagram is the 180th
meridian, on which all mariners
change their date, dropping a day
when going west and repeating it when
going east The last meridian drawn
across the south pole, the lower one
to the left, Is the ninetieth east of
Greenwich.
We may now turn our attention to
the two circles below the terrestrial
sphere on figure 1. The smaller one
is the moon. Its center moves along
the line AB, where its position is
given for every ten minutes during the
eclipse time, from 2:30 p. m, central
time, on the first mark to the left,
near the line NS, to 8 o'clock, on the
last mark to the right.
The larger circle Is the moon's
penumbra, which is of great impor
tance in every solar eclipse. To under-

stand Its nature and its action, 1 must
ask the reader to try with me a very
instructive experiment. Let us place a
piece of white paper In direct sun
light and hold a small hall to the
paper. We notice that the shadow Is
black and sharp and as large as the
ball. Aa we separate the ball and
paper, the shadow becomes more and
more Indistinct at the edge. The true,
shadow we call the umbra, and the In
distinct part the penumbra. When we
have separated our ball and paper so
far that their distance apart is 114
times the size of the ball, the umbra
has diminished to a point and the
penumbra has grown to have a diam
eter twice as large, as the ball. If our
ball is as large as the moon on figure
1, and Is held at a distance of 114
times Its diameter from the figure, Its
shadow or umbra will be the point on
the line AB which Is at the time 2:46,
while the penumbra will be the outer
and larger circle. We will not be able
to see the umbra and penumbra on
our paper, because the first Is a point
and the second is too faint, but they
are really there, notwithstanding. We
can actually see them or their effects
very accurately If we put our eye In
the place of the paper and look at the
ball, taking the precaution to use a
smoked glass. When our eye Is. ex
actly on the circumference or edge of
the penumbra, we will see our ball
apparently touching the sun. This
astronomers call contact, first con
tact when the eclipse begins, last con
tact when it ends. As we move our
eye along, or better, as our moon, the
ball, moves across the sun, we will
see the sun obscured more and more,
until It is completely covered and we
have a total eclipse.
Now aa the moon's distance from
the earth may vary about 16 per cent,
the moon when far away appears
smaller than usual and cannot cover
the whole sun, whereas when near It
appears larger and can more than
cover the whole sun. In the first case,
the point of the moon's shadow, the
apex of the shadow cone, does not
reach the earth; the sun appears as a
ring of light about the black moon,

THE SOLAR ECLIPSE.
and we have an annular or ring
eclipse. In the second case the apex
or the snaaow wotim penetrate tne
earth If the latter were transparent, or
which amounts to the same thing, the
moon's shadow on the earth la of sme
size, and everyone that chances to be
in It sees the sun totally eclipsed.
After this probably long, but neces
sary, preamble we are prepared to
understand the exceptional conditions
of the present eellpsej in' an ordi
nary solar eclipse the path ot the
moon, AB oh figure 1, lies across some
part of the earth, so that the places so
situated may see a total or an annular
Solar eclipse. Every place Inside the
penumbra sees the sun partially
eclipsed, the magnitude Increasing al
most in a direct ratio to nearness to
Its center. Every place on the for
ward edge of the penumbra has first
contact at the same moment, every
place on Its retreating side has last
contact ( ,
In some .eclipses the central line
does not fall on the earth at all, so
that the eclipse is only a partial one
everywhere. In the present eclipse the
moon's path AB Is so far off the earth
that the pesyimbra does llttla ' more
tun graze the earth, coverlng'Mt to
the extent of only 0.008 of Its ra
dius, that Is, only about thirty-two
miles. This is the 'first most excep
tional fact connected with the pres
ent eclipse, and has never happened
hanrn rinptna th thtriv.lhree VAHrs
that the writer has studied eclipses. J
The moment at wnicn tne penum
bral circle overlaps the earth nuwt
is 2:46 p. m. central time. The illa
gram figure 1 shows the penumbra
In this position. As this Is six min
utes later than the time for which
the terrestrial meridians were drawn,
tin, earth has turned one an.l t liuif
dtp;reea more, so that thu longitude of
the central meridian at this time in
131 1-2 Instead of 130 degrees. The
difference is hardly noticeable, if the
penumbra had been Alrawn for the
time 2:40 Instead of 2:46 it would
overlap the earth so little less I hat
even a magnifying glass wotiltj not
show the difference. In fact, the line
CD, which is parallel to AM an.'! tun:
gent to the penumhru and earth, ure
all so close together that they prac
tically toineiUe.
The second exceptional peculiarity
of the present eclipse is the fact of
the i-otinmbra's falling beyond the
south pole, where on the tllar:im
north and south exchange na-ne, and
e;ist and west as well, Kor this rea
son Ihe penumltra moves "att.m't the
ititirnal motion of the earth unc there
fore shortens the duration of the
eclipse, whereaa if it were placed
higher up on the diaKram it would
move with the earlh. as It generally
does, and lengthen the time of the
jell:fre.
Thirdly, the line CD. the "northern
limit of the eclipse," enters upon the
earth at a point to the left of the
line NS, so that CD crosses NS on the
earth's disk. As the local time on Hiis
part of the line NS la midnight, there
is. In fact, an eclipse of the midnight
sun. That the line CD does really
enter the terrestrial sphero at the
place mentioned, as well aa all th?
other data that are necessary for the
construction or the eclipse map, could
ne;er be known by even a micro
scopic examination of figure 1. Re
course had to he had to rltrorous and
lengthy calculations, which nlone
could ferret out the desired knowl
edge. Deriving the necessary data
from a diagram like figure 1 Is "al
ways a very easy and expeditious
method, when the penumbra crosses
the earth somewhat centrally. Hero,
however, the graphic method falls ut
terly another peculiarity of the prea
ent eclipse which specialists will ap
preciate. fourthly and lastly, perhaps the
moat exceptional peculiarity of the
preaent eclipse in the fact of Its oc
curring for most places within the
eclipse reglon,.on Christmas eve, for
snino at Christmas 'midnight, and for
some others on Christmas morn.
Let us now look at figure 2, the
eclipse map, and see what wunderful
farts calculation has elicited from that
minute portion of figure 1, where the
moon's penumbra passes across the
earth's disk.
The first thing we notice on the
map, figure 2, Is that south Is on top
and west to tne right In other words,
that the map has been apparently re
versed. This was done on purpose in
order to facilitate comparisons of fig
ures 1 and 8. The numbers 60, 40,
30, 20, 10 below mean the degreea of
east longitude, and 76, 70, 66 to the
right the degrees of south latitude.
The brokan parallel of latitude Is the
antarctic circle. .
The point C Is where the line CD
of figure 1 enters the earth and the
point D where it leaves It The half
ellipse marked "northern limit fof
eclipse" Is the projection of ' the
straight line CD of figure 1 on the
spherical earth, distorted partly by Its
rotation. The point FC on figure 2
Is the place of "first contact." the
very first place on earth to see Ihe
eclipse begin, and LC that of "last
contact" the very last to see It end.
The point OK Is the place of the
"greatest eclipse," where 1 per cent of
the sun's 'diameter Is covered by the
moon. The dotted curves tangent to
the "northern limit" at the numbers
35, 40 and so on are successive pro
jections of the circular rim ot the
moon's penumbra at the correspond
ing minutes after 2 p. m. central time.
The last one to the right however, 1b
the one for atts. The ecllpss begins
at those minutes all along the western
portion of the curve from the num
ber on the "northern limit" line to
the curve "eclipse begins at sunset"
and ends along the eastern portion
from this same number to the curve
"eclipse ends at sunset," Ths penum
bra moves westward, as- was sold be
fore, instead ot eastward, as in all
other eclipses, .
