There will be four Eclipses this year, two of the Sun and two of the Moon, and a Transit of the Planet Mercury over the Sun's Disk, as follows:

I. A Total Eclipse of the Moon May 23, invisible in America.

II. An Annular Eclipse of the Sun June 6. Invisible in the Atlantic and Gulf States, visible north of a line from El Paso, through St. Louis and Toledo to Quebec.

III. A Total Eclipse of the Moon November 15, visible generally throughout America, the Moon rising more or less eclipsed west of the Mississippi River and totally eclipsed on the Pacific Coast. Size of the Eclipse=16.72 digits, the Moon's apparent diameter being considered 12 digits. At Brooklyn the Eclipse begins at 5:39 P. M. and ends at 9:07.

IV. A Partial Eclipse of the Sun December 1, visible in extreme southern portion of South America.

V. A Transit of the Planet Mercury across the Sun's Disk May 9, visible west of a line from New York City to Charleston, and invisible generally in New England States. At Washington the ingress or beginning occurs at 6 h. 46 m. 6.6 sec. P. M., or 14 m. before sunset. Chicago, 6 h. 3 m. 52 sec. St. Louis, 5 h. 53 m. 29.5 sec. San Francisco, 3 h. 44 m. 11 sec.

From New York to California and Oregon the Sun sets while transit is upon it. Mercury will pass over the Sun's southern limb on a line about half way between its southern edge and its center. At Brooklyn the contact of limbs will be visible at 6 h. 58 m. 21.6 sec., if atmospheric conditions are favorable, the Sun setting at 7 h. 4 m. All the times given above are local.
