The Moon’s Eclipse. 
Residents of the North Shore saw 
the total eclipse of the moon Wednes- 
day night and it certainly proved to 
be a most impressive spectacle. Per- 
fect atmospheric conditions prevail- 
ed. At the early stages there were 
some clouds, but these passed away 
and humanity had the opportunity 
of a lifetime to watch the strange 
darkening of the full moon’ ’s bright 
face by the earth’s shadow. 
The first indentation of the bright 
moon took place at 5.44 at a point 
on the lower half of the lunar disk. 
The shadow swept gradually across 
the moon until at 6.55 it completely 
covered it, and the eclipse was total 
until 7.47. 
It was an impressive spectacle to

those unfamiliar with the wonders 
of the sidereal heavens, for the glow- 
ing circle of silver paled and a dull 
red-brown hue succeeded, which in” 
turn, gave way to positive darkness. 
The last indentation of the disk dis- 
anneared at 8.58, and soon after the 
moon shone as brightly as if it had 
never been eclipsed.

roads, by their president, Charles S. 
Mellen, Wednesday petitioned the 
Legislature for permission to ac- 
quire the Boston, Revere Beach & 
Lynn railroad, popularly known as 
the ‘‘Narrow Gauge’’; and, when it 
is acquired by both or either of the 
petitioning roads, to change it to a 
standard guage, electrify it, connect. ..; 
it on the south with existing lines 
now running into the South termin- 
al station, and on the North” with 
existing lines of the Boston & Maine 
railroad, and to construct a tunnel 
under Boston harbor asa part of the 
route of the acquired road. VB 
In a statement made. We dnesday 
afternoon, Vice-President Byrnes, of 
both the petitioning roads,,said that _ 
it is the intention of those roads, if 
the necessary legislation is secured, 
to extend the road to Beverly, and 
added: ‘‘We have in mind. the ulti- 
mate extension and electrification to 
Gloucester. ’’ 
The proposed acquisition aroused 
much interest, not only in railroad © 
circles, but all along the North 
Shore. Whether the dominant mo- 
tive is or is not to block the mtich 
_ discussed and long projected Boston 
_& Eastern electric railroad, the peti- 
tioning management is credited 
with the blocking purpose by 
friends of the interurbati' plan.
