TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE SUN TODAY Were the world a little less ad advanced, vanced, advanced, there probably would have been the wildest consternation to today day today in Russia and thruout that part of 'Europe embroiled in war, because at noon there was an eclipse of the sun that was total over a part of (Russia and was partial over all that part of the continent where men are fighting. Despite the wide-spread know knowledge ledge knowledge of astronomy of the present day, it may well be said that the peasants of Central Europe and Russia, drafted as they have been from their 'homes and field to fight in a war, the purpose of which tehy cannot comprehend, the obscurity of the great luminary just around mid midday, day, midday, may incite a feling of terror that might upset the plans of the generals.

All of Europe, a portion of Africa and Asia and a part of North Amer America ica America that reaches down nearly to New York, falls within the partial eclipse, the shadow of the penumbra. Where the eclipse is but partial, the disc of the moon creeps across the face of the sun little by little, but will never wholly obscure the orb. But, -where the eclipse is total,, the moon entirely covers the sun and the the Inhabitants of that region will see tne most wonaerrin pnenomenon known to astronomy the corona of the sun. Great -waves of incandescent gas, bundreds of thousands of miles long, reaching out from the sun Into the etberr may be perceived. The countryside takes on a sinster night- gray color and tints of nature pale and deaden as at twilight, the tem perature falling perceptibly and birds, believing that night has come, hush their singing and seek their nests. The eclipse is a recurring one. It happens at the end of every eighteen years and eleven days. It is caused by the imoon coming between the sun and the earth at such an angle , Among those whom the editor of that tne sun is wholly obscured from he Star had the pleasure of meet ing at Leesburg were Mr. J.

Democratization of rifle shooting among the militia of the United States is the object of radically new national match rule in force this year -the rule that gives enlisted men of ten of the twelve posts of honor on the team. 'Ever since the national -match was authorized by Congress in 1903, shooting member membership ship membership on the state and service games alike has gone, for the most part, to officers. Two years ago began to spread an idea that if rifle shooting and rifle tournaments were to serve the cause of national defense in a thoroughgoing manner, they must bull's eye from 36 to 30 inches. This decrease in the size of the bull's eye is the result of the really amazing advance in marksmanship among both militia and service contestants since the tournament got under way a decade ago. Bull's eye hitting had become so easy that it was necessary to increase the difficulty in order to maintain lively interest. Path cf the Kzkzpo.

It was all too apparent that officers who had 'become expert shots were hold holding ing holding team membership too exclusive exclusively ly exclusively in spite of various elimination rules. The movement for reform started last yar at the Camp Perry tournament when the state of Ohio relegated its old time cracks to the rear and sent into the fight a team composed entirely of enlisted men. The New York team this year will again be captained by Lieut. Col. N. B. Thurston, for a quarter of a cen century tury century the leader of the 'Empire 'State By this new rule regarding enlisted men New York loses two of its most expert shots Major Arthur Kemp and Major A.

The District of Columbia team, which is training on its range at Congress Heights, will be in charge of Lieut. Col. C. B. Young, captain in 1911 and leader of the United States "free" rifle team in the inter international national international matches last year. A further radical alteration in na tional match conditions this year is. that rule which is designed to allay the dissatisfaction that has been steadily rising among the guards guardsmen men guardsmen the last half a dozen years on account of the severe handicap they were under in competition with the United States service team which with endless ammunition and with unlimited time for practice have been able steadily to swamp the militia teams when it came to the skirmish firing stage. On the skirm skirmish ish skirmish field it was that the .New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Penn Pennsylvania, sylvania, Pennsylvania, (Maryland, District of Co Columbia, lumbia, Columbia, Ohio and other teams found themselves slaughtered by the regu regulars. lars. regulars. At the suggestion of Lieut. Col. Thurston of New York last winter, the national board for the promotion of rifle practice directed that beginning this year militia in interest terest interest in the matches should be fostered by making the national match course the same as the course over which the war department sends the guardsmen for their reg regular ular regular record firing for qualification; that is, that just the skirmishing should be eliminated and that slow fire at 500 and 600 yards and rapid fire at 300 yards should be added. In addition to these modifications for the 1914 tournament are the charges from private to government ammunition and the decreasing of the 500 yard and 600 yard' scoring Old Men Like Novels. I asked the custodian of a large library about the fashion in books, says a writer in the Philadelphia Ledger. "Most of the men above fifty," said he, "who come here read novels. The young women also ask for fiction. When it comes to. men from twenty to fifty, many more of them want scientific books dealing with present present-day day present-day affairs, like politics, financial questions and history, or books of travel." I asked him what the elderly wom women en women preferred. "Very few come." he replied. As for poetry, thi3 custodian said there seemed now to be no desire whatever. Re-reading of the old po poems ems poems does not appear to Interest elder elderly ly elderly people, and the younger folks have not acquired the taste for verse. She Was Wise, A student took a lovely young woman to the theater the other night. He busted himself buying the tickets and he didn't enjoy the show much, because he kept thinking that maybe she would expect him to take her Into the drug store and buy her something before they took the car for home. So soon as the performance was over he said: "Have you been reading all these dreadful exposures of drug store bev beverages erages beverages in the Home Muckraker? It's awfully Interesting. Doctor Wiley tells of how a young woman went to a soda fountain, drank a popular drink and dropped dead." "How tragic!" murmured the girl, with shining eyes.

A noted philanthropist once said: "If I knew that I should die tomorrow, I should plant a tree today." He did not mean that tree planting was the eort of action to be deferred as long as possible; he counted It rather a deed with which one might make a good farewell to earth and who shall say that he was not right? There is nothing more beautiful, more dignified, more valuable in the broadest sense of the word than a fine old tree. There are few things more lasting.

FOR A WOODLAND PARADISE Chicagoans Determined That Their City Shall Be Abundantly Sup Supplied plied Supplied With Trees. . In view of the advance which city beautification has made during the last few years, especially in Chicago, Arbor day has a definite significance. Tree planting exercises have been held in all parts of the city, about two hundred and fifty thousand white pine seedlings being provided for t ja,iua, ya.ca.at 101s ana roadways. Last year 200,000 elm seedlings were plant planted; ed; planted; the year before 300,000 Russian mulberries, and in 1911 a total of 280 280-000 000 280-000 catalpa seedlings were given a chance to grow. If all these grew Chicago would be, not a garden city, but a forest city. The mortality rate luuu5 titseunngs, nowever, is almost as great as it is among slum babies. If a reasonable fraction of these young trees grow to maturity Chicago will be in time a woodland paradise. An authority on arboriculture as ap applied plied applied to cities says the ratio should be one living shade tree to every five in inhabitants. habitants. inhabitants. In the absence of a tree census it is impossible to say how near Chicago approaches this ideal. Be that as it may, the principle of Arbor day is wholesome. It i3 but one phase of the general tendency of the day to instill into the children an instinct for some of the finer things that older folks have thought they were too busy to cultivate.

Cleaning up is limited in meaning. Homes may go through housecleaning, householders may clean streets and sidewalks and remove every rubbish trifle. In great buildings strenuous efforts may be made, will be made, to have every bit of litter carted away. That is a beginning. The city may be made beautiful by nature's work. Plants respond to ev every ery every little care. Flowers bloom when almost neglected. Is it not right not only to clean up but to start the habit of growing plants bearing flowers? It i3 not difficult and almost inex inexpensive. pensive. inexpensive. One great concern in this city, with hundreds of windows in the building, where a thousand work, has potted plants on every sill.

One prisoner, famed In story and song, had not a joy. Through a crev crevice ice crevice in the damp wall there came the sprout of a little flower.

Maurice Danby motored from the city down to his brother's farm for a brief visit. Young Mr. Danby held a position in a city department. His standing in social life was good, and it was known that he had a fair-sized bank account. So far as friends or relatives knew, he had never been in love, and was not likely to be. Therefore it was a shock to his sister-in-law when he ar arrived rived arrived one Sunday, and said: "Look here. Sarah, you have got r to help me out." "What is it, -Maurice? she asked. "I'm in love." "You can't be." "But I am." "Well, won't the girl have you?" "I haven't asked her." "Then go right off and do it." "Listen to me, woman. I came down by the old post road this morning, in instead stead instead of the usual way. About three miles above here is an old red farm farmhouse." house." farmhouse." "Yes, the Granger place." "There was a girl there." "Yes; Kitty Granger." "She was leaning on the gate eat ing an apple. I am almost sure she me." What idiots young men are! smiled the relative. "You see a good good-looking looking good-looking girl at a farmhouse gate, and ten seconds later you are in love and thinking of marriage." "I am going to know Kitty Granger. It may not take two days to bring it about, and it may take two weeks." Monday morning he entered his auto and started away with a wave of his hand. He was bound for the post road and Farmer Granger's. When he saw the old farmer at work in the field by the roadside an Idea came to him. He stopped. "Do you want to sell that calf tied in your front yard?" he asked. "Yep," was the reply. "How much?" "Orter be wuth six dollars." Not ten feet behind the calf was the veranda. Mr. Danby walked around the veal cutlets three times and then took a. seat on the veranda to view him from a new point. He coughed and shuffled his feet, but no one came out. Miss Kitty was heard singing in the house, but she didn't appear. After a quarter of an hour had passed away the schemer had to return to the farm farmer er farmer to say: "I will come back tomorrow and see about it" "Just as you will," was th.e reply. It was with a good deal of chagrin that the young man got into his auto and drove away. "Then the girl with the apple was not at the gate?" his sister-in-law asked. "II was just riding out for pleas pleasure," ure," pleasure," he replied. "Oh, I see. I have sort of. taken a pity on you, and decided to give you a hint to act on. I have heard that Miss Kitty was talking of buying a new piano." "Well?" "If you want some excuse for call calling ing calling at the house to get a closer view of her and have a talk "By George; it's the thing! As agent for a piano house in the city, I can call." Young Danby was so elated with the new scheme that he forgot the old one He motored boldly upto the house, but as he reached the veranda, Mr. Granger came around the corner from the kitchen and sighted him and said: "Came back for the calf, eh? Well, I thought you would. He's worth seven dollars, and I only asked you six." "I was going to see your daughter about a new piano." "Oh, the piano can wait. Will you take the calf away with you in the machine? As you are in the veal business, you must know that calves are going up every day. I said six dollars to you, and I'll stand by my word." He led the calf out to the gate, and Mr. Danby had to follow. He had to do more. He had to help lift the calf into the auto and make him fast and hand over six dollars and drive away. When another day came Mr. Danby was ready he didn't know for what. He set off without a plan. If he passed the house he might be shouted to to stop and buy hogs or hens, but It might be his luck also to see Miss Kitty at the gate. He had just determined to take his chances when he saw her coming toward him, driving in her pony cart. Speed was reduced to a fair gait, and he held straight for the pony. The girl checked up. She screamed. Straight ahead, and then there was a smash and the pony was down and things were in a glorious tangle. There was some breakage, but no lives lost. "What did you do that for?" asked the girl when things were somewhat straightened out. "Do you believe I did it on pur purpose?" pose?" purpose?" "I surely do!" "WTell, it was that I might get a chance to tell you that I am in love with you!"

WE BATTLEFIELDS OF BELGIUM OPINION OP AN AMERICAN 3IIL- ITARY EXPERT Capital is of Little Strategic Con sequencesExcellent Work is Be Being ing Being Done by the Belgian Amateur Army. London, August 21J- An Ameri can military expert, reviewing the situation in Belgium,- said last night: "I left Brussels today, and there was a good deal of agitation there as the people thought that the Ger mans "were very near and that there kad been fighting at Tirlemont. A good many refugees had come in from Tirlemont and Louvain. The people kept quiet, though they were filled with suspense about the Germans. The impression was that the Germans, after making a reconnoisance in force and scouting the country north of (Brussels with cavalry, were about to advance in force on Brussels. "The population has been told by the burgmaster that .If the Germans came, they should remain indoors, and go on as far as possible with their usual vocations. "Brussels is an undefended city, but within the last three or four days, every important street leading out of town has been barricaded and trenches have been dug in the out outskirts skirts outskirts -with barbed wire entangle ments in front of them. These de defenses fenses defenses are intended only for protec tion against cavalry raids. They would be futile against any attack in force. "'Any 'battle for the possession f Brussels will be found in tlie direc direction tion direction of Wavere and Louvain. If the Germans take Brussels, it does' not mean a military setback for the al lies, beyond the sentimental effect, and the opinion in Brussels was that, owing to the French success In Al sace and the check the German right wing has suffered in Belgium, something must be done which would at least 'have the form of suc success. cess. success. .'"Belgian officers are warning the people not to attempt reprisals, 'be 'because cause 'because that would 'bring reprisals upon them. You can hear any kind of rumor in Brussels, and if the Germans are determined to attack in, force, Brussels will ibe taken un unless less unless the allies decide to resist. "The Germans 'have Taeen using their cavalry with great audacity and sometimes with more audacity than success. They have sent cav cavalry alry cavalry as scouts in all directions and some reported battles have 'been no more than reconnoisances in force. They are either aiming to cover their, flank by these continuous threats, or they are attempting to ascertain the Belgian position with the view of attacking in force. ", "Honors are with the Belgians In these combats. Their ibicycle corps have responded instantly to alarms. The. country is wholly, unsulted to reconnoisances, as it is cut with hedges and sunken roads. There is barely a field of ten acres that would permit of a charge.

Also in addition to this the people along the road to the school buildings are 'being forced to put down cement sidewalks whether or not they are able to pay for them. The way I understand It Is, if the people are not able to pay for it the city goes ahead and puts them down and leaves it to the owners of the property to pay for them, but If the owner is not able to raise the amount required the city makes the owner pay for it out of his property. Do you think this is right? Are the children going to school now any better than those that went to school up at the old high school? They had no cement sidewalks to walk on. Of course we would like to see the children have them but there is no use to take a person's property away from him because he is not able to 'have then put down. There Is just a couple more things I would 'like to mention. Where is a park for us to go and rest on Sundays and hot afternoons? There is one park here -by the fire station which Is, of course, too small. Xow just one more thing, for the enjoyment of the young boys and girls. How about a Y. M. C. A. and a Y. W. C. A.
