He informed the neople" of the fact that the Imperial Astronomic I Board at Peking had made their calculations and announced the fact to his Majsly the Emperor that an eclipse of the moon take place on the night of the would 15th. And the Board of Ceremonies in Peking had granted permission to the properly qualified efficers of siste to offer sacrifices to propitiate the measter dragon, or mystic beast, that his heavenly luminary, essential to the ex s'ence and well-being of the Empire, be not taken from us. The Treasurer of the Cheklang province has been duly noufi d of this event, ad the time of the eclipse at Ifang-Chou-fo is given minutely first contact with the shadow is iven as 10.38. pm.
