occur a total eclipse of the sun. The great shadow that will be caused by the moon coming between the earth and the sun ‘ will sweep across the North American continent. This pan of the country, however., will not b’ in the path of totality. As seen from Decatur only a little more than half of the sun's face will be obscured. The path of totality, according t< John Candee Dean, who has furnishei the Indianapolis News with a diagran ! showing the course the eclipse wil take, will leave the Pacific ocean am cross the southwestern corner of Cab forpia. So that San Diago. Poin Conception. and the Santa Barbara Islands -will sec the sun totally eclip red. From there the line swings inti Mexico cuts in a southwesterly cours< across its upper section and passel on to the Atlantic ocean. In central Indiana the eclipse wil begin at 2:26 p in. and will end at 4:2: p.ui. The period of greatest obsetn ation will come about 3:30. The sun will be in a good position to be obsert ed. When the eclipes begins it will be about half way between the zenitl and the western horizon, and when the last trace be jiearly two hour high. In this article Mr. Dean says tha the nearet approach of a total eclips< of the sun to Indianapolis, was o: August 7, 1869. The southwertern part of the state was in the path o totality and a special train was run from Indianapolis to Greencastle to carry passengers to see the tota' phase.
