Failing to find him the house she went to the barn and wagon shed.

On opening the shed door she was horrified' to titid the old gentleman hanging by the neck near the center of the shed with a rope around the cross rafters above. II is feet were about two and a half feet from the floor while the length of the rope from the rafters to the point where it encircled the old mau's necJi was about 6 1'eet.

0. K. 'i Mi I v. i yfom ECLIPSE. MOON TO PASS WITHIN THE EARTH'S SHADOW.

A Phenomenon Which May.be Observed Sunday Evening Im portance of Thi3 Event to Astronomers. 1 o-niorrow evening as the moon is twinging around the earth toward the east she will enter its shadow and ob servers will have a chance to realize that mother earth really casts a shadow. This shadow 13 peculiar in that the source of light i3 an object of large size rather than a point. This peculiarity can readily be seen by experiment of casting the shadow of a pencil upon a piece of white paper and using jii3t the light from the edge of a lamp flame or ga3 jet and then from the broad side of the llame. In the first place, we find the shadow to be unilormly dark and' hav ing sharply defined edges, but in' the second case the middle of the shadow is dark and at the edges it gradually fades away so that it cannot be told where tiie shadow really ends.

The moon will, with its eastern or lower edge, tttch the outside, illy defined edgeot the shadow at 4:10 r. sr. or in the words of the almanac enter the penumbra. This event cannot many eclipse be detected by the eye a3 the change in the amount. -of light is so gradual aud for this region it will occur bafore the moon rises.

The moon will pass on and with its front edge will "touch the dense shadow at 5:09 after the moon has appeared above the horizon. This will be a noticeable event and in a few minutes after this time a dart notch will appear cut out of the lower edge of the moon. Since the moon moves to the east in its motion around the earth the eastern or lower side strikes Its 6hadoiy first. This dark notch will increase ia size and finally cover the whole moon at 6:11, the. moon being then wholly within the shadow.

At 0:53 the eciipse will be half over and at 7:33 the eastern edge of the moon will commence to move out of the dense shadow and become blighter. At 8:37 it will have left the dense shadow en-tiretj and at 9:37 will have passed ou-t of the penumbra and the eclipse will be a thing of the past. The totality will last tram 6:11 to 7:35, but the whole period from 5:09 till 8:37 will be interesting to observers. The earth's atmosphere extends about 50 miles from its surface and the sun's light, which passes through this, is to some extent bont around into and dis persed tt the dense shadow, so that some httle light reaches the moon while passing through and it will be more or leas distinctly visible all the time shining with a faint, coppery light, the peculiar color being caused by the discoloration of the sun's rays passing through our atmosphere. Astronomers in this country, as a rule, avoid Sunday observation," but in the case oi rare phenomena such as an eclipse which will not bo put olf till another evening they will "generally be found at their telescopes.

To-morrow evening during the eclipse the taint light of the moon will be examined to obtain information on questions concerning the earth's atmosphere. The changes iu the heat sent out by the moon will be carefully noted to get more definite data concerning its temperature. As the moon moves along in its course it frequently passes between the earth and some of the stars so that thev appear to be suddenly blotted out o'f existence on one side to reappear with equal suddenness at the other. Koting to the fraction of a second the times ot these disappearances and reappearances gives valuable data for determining more accurately the moon's motion, size and distance. Owing to the light of the moon only the brighter stars can be so but during the eclipse it will be possible to see many more of the fainter ones and observation will be turned in this direction also.

IN A WRANGLE. Tkouele Amoso tue Owxbrs of Djsn- VEJi WATEll C0ilPAXIE3. Desver, Nov. 1-1. David H.

Moffat and George W. Clayton, two of the principal owners of the Citizens' Water Company, yesterday brought suit against the Denver Water Company and the Farmers Loan and Trust Company to recover payment on worth of bonds which, with interest, was due on October 1.

The bonds were originally issued by. the Domestic Water Company, another concern brought up by the Denver and were guaranteed by the latter, hence the suit by the Denver City Company.
