mountains grew black and were in almost total darkness fleeter than the rays of morning came the shadow aaros hill and mountain top everything ia its flight A pale sickly light fell upon the scene trees and shrubs and rocks gave their shadows as from an arc electric light paler until with a grand sweep the dark shadow covered all the thin streak vanished for a second and instantly the glorious corona burst forth a silvery fringe encircling a ball of black the totality however was not quite perfect just one little segment of the suns lower limb ehst teemed like a faraway far away gleam afan electric light studded the lower segment ot the corona in a second or two this jumped from the left to tho right and for another gleamed like a brilliant diamond in an inverted ring for thirty seconds
