The moon entered the penumbra at
9:45 p. m., western time, February 8, en
tering the shadow at 10:57 P- m. The
total eclipse began at fifty-eight minutes
past eleven. The middle eclipse was reach
ed at 12:47 a. m., and the total eclipse
ended at 1:36 a. m. The moon left the sha
dow at 2:37 a. m., and left the penumbra
"on the other side" at 3:40 a. m.
Thus the total eclipse lasted an hour and
thirty-eight minutes and the entire phe
nomenon, from the time the moon entered
the penumbra until it left was three hours
and forty-six minutes, the duration being
one of the remarkable features of the case.

Have Adopted Child.

living with her grandmother at Tulerosa,
her mother being dead and her father
having deserted her. As the grandmother
is notable to care for the child, she will
be adopted and provided a home. The
little one appreciates the kindness and
will no doubt find a warm place in the
hearts of her newly-found friends especial
