Sun and Moon Figure In Three Eclipses Soon.

There will be three eclipses of the sun and moon during the months of August and September. On Aug. 31 there will be a partial eclipse of the sun, however, it will be of such short duration at this point that it will attract very little attention. Op Sept. 15 there will be a total eclipse of the moon, visible in all parts of the United States and will be a sight seldom witnessed in a century. On September 29? there will be a partial eclipse of the sun, visible in this locality. This gives us two eclipses of the sun within one month, or at two successive new moons, and an eclipse of the moon at the full moon which intervenes between the two eclipses of the sun.
