The Eclipse
On the morning of Saturday, January 24th, 1925, there occurred a spectacle in the Heavens which few men are fortunate enough to experience even once in a lifetime. I was one of the elect on this occasion. The world awoke that morning a stage perfectly set for the wonderful sight nature had arranged. The atmosphere was absolutely clear, no trace of a cloud was visible anywhere and the sun seemed to he unusually bright—flushed with excitement over the performance it and the moon were to enact that day.
