SUA WOW cast on earth by the
moon will sweep over the United
States on May 28 lri a belt fifty
J ■ miles broad, anil, moving at the
™ rate of sixty-eight miles a min
ute, will obscure the light of the
■un entirely from New Orleans northeast
to Norfolk. The eclipse will be total In
this country within the fifty-mile belt.
It Is eleven years since the last total
eclipse of the sun In this country, and It
will be eighteen years before there is an
other one.
As a partial eclipse the obscuration of
the sun will be visible over North and
Central America and the northern portion
of H<.uth America. It will therefore be
visible at Seattle as a jiartial eclipse.
Since Seattle is about twenty-five degrt cs
north and about fifteen degre«s east ot
the nearest point on the track of totality,
the local spectacle will possess little of
the total grandeur which attaches to It
In those regions where the eclipse is
total.
It will be useless to expect a glimpse
of Ihe pearly corona, or even of the scar
let chromosphere. A pair of dark gogles,
or a piece of smoked glass, will be the
only optical aid necesssary for ordinary
observation. A telescope would be of bin
•light service, except for technical pur
poses. Amateurs who attempt 10 ur.
one should shield the eyes well.

The phenomena of the eclipse, as they
will appear to spectators In Seattle and

MeAllster:
The dark body of the moon will be
gin to impinge on the right side of the
suns disc, at a point a little way be
low a horizontal line pointing through
the center of the disc, and will creep
thence iownward and to the left,
finally leaving It at a point a little to
the left of a vertical line through the
center. To be precise, the eclipse will
begin HI a point Oil degrees 10 minutes
measured from the, highest point of
the disc around to the right, and wlil
end at a point I® degrees (0 minutes,
measured from the same starting
point, around to the left. The radius
of the colnddal shadow of the moon
will be about 2.150 miles during the
time of the eclipse at Seattle. At the
time of greatest oljscuration. .34 per
cent.. or n lover one-third of the
sun's dUmttfr will be covrred Of
course, much less than a third of the
die* will be covorril at any other time.

coast, its beginning will b" seen Just at

NIP, Ala.; Montgomery, Ala.: Rallegh,
N. C., and Norfolk, Va., are all on the
totality path. At New Orleans the sun
will be completely covered at 7:30 o'clock
a. m., while at Norfolk this will not hap
pen until 8:53 o'clock a. m. In the former
city totality will last seventy-three sec

bands are yet full of mystery even to
sk'lled astronomers, but more is known ef
sun -[nits. These are best seen just as
the total eclipse Is beginning to creep from
the sun's disc. From them has been
learned the fact of the sun's rotation en
Its axis, end that the time required for
one revolution is about twenty-five days
and five hours. These spots also ha/o
declared that the visible sun surface is
not solid or volten. but vaporous. Thirl,
some observers, clinging to what may be
called a tradition, will seek for what Sir
William Ball called the "Planet cf Ro
mance," which they ho|ie to find In tho
space lying between the sun and Mer
cury. Others have sought this planer,
naming It Vulcan, before It has be?n
found. In the gloom of an eclipse such an
orb might show its face If its position as
regards the earth were favorable. Most
astronomers have concluded there Is no
such planet, but this will not prevent an
earneat search for it May 28.

astronomers, and a like body » ill tuv>r.n

There are two reasons why the I'nited
States star gazers have sell ted these illu
tant points for viewing the coining eclipse:
First, they deeire to set up their Instru
ments in the very center of the path .*f
totality; second, a caref il txamina.lon

non may also be observed in ihe event of.
a clear atmosphere.
Several tens of special apparatus have
already been shipped to the places select
ed as headquarters, and Prof. Skinner has
gone to Pinehurst to superintend the erec
tion cf one of the largest cameras ever
constructed. This giant camera, by the
was - , does not have the appwirance of a
photographic apparatus at all. There is a
wooden scaffolding. In form like a pyra
mid, and forty feet high. Rising from the
ground to the top of this at an angle that
will cause the upper end to point directly
at the spot In the heavens where the great
luminary Is to be eclipsed Is a 'ramework
of Iron, carrying In Its Interior a gig.in
tlo Iron tube. In the upper end of this
tube, which will project nearly fifty iVet
Into the air, will be Inserted live-iii<*h
lenses, or objective glasses. The lower en. t
of the canvas tube will pass into a large
light-tight shed, which will be lite box
and plate holder of the titanic camera.
In this the astronomers will expose ;hc
immense plates which are ca receive the
image of the sun when shut out of view
by the moon.
With this enormous pi"turemaklng ma
chine the naval observatory experts will
secure negatives from which will be
printed images of the sun In eclipse l'-j
Inches In diameter. But the plates will
also show the mysterious corona, or halo
of the sun. which will be three times .is
large as the Image of the sun itself.

THOROUGH STUDY OP THE MYSTERIOUS
CORONa.
PHOK. SKINNER and his assoel .i -s
are deeply -interested In this curious
hslo, or atmosphere. There i- noth
ing more confusing or complex In
connection with the solar system tnan the
sun's corona. During every eclipse of the
last half century the attention of astron
omic has been concentrated upon this
halo. It la only within comparatively re
cent years that the corona has been dis
covered to be an actual part of the sun.
It Is surmised that It Is a gawotis vapor,
or atmosphere, which, from its peculiar
constituents, Is visible as a halo about
the mase of the orb.

the form of a halo of light around ths
sunj at other periods it is a general
glow, but more frequently it is seen us a
long shaft, extending from opposite sides.
Photographs taken during the total eclipse
of IS7S show that it was visible for a dis
tance of 1,000.000 miles on each side of the
sun. Owing to the intensely 'luminous
character of the sun it has been Impos
sible to observe this feature except >.t
times when the disc was hidden by the
moon.
With all the efforts that have been made
to determine the exact character of the
constituents of the corona, however, as
tronomers are still nt a loss 10 pronounce
definitely upon them. For this reason ex
traordinary interest attaches to the In
vestigations to be made on May 2S. Several
classes of work will he done by the gov
ernment experts. The corona and otnor
appendages of the sun, will be most care
fully photographed. Photograps.s will also
be taken of the spectra of the halo, as well
as other parts of the sun's atmosphere.
Other members of the -oxps will make

of the eclipse, with the aid of powerful

points regarding the sun and Its surround

Besides the features already mentioned,
attention wilt be given to the red promi
nences and the sierra or chromosphere.
The red prominences have the appearance
of jets or fountains of flame, rising some
times to a height of Iflrt.OOO miles, and as
suming the most beautiful and complex
forms.
The phenomenon of the sierra is a bor-
der of dark red, which can be neon on the
eastern side of the solar disc Just after
the totality has begun, and on the westein
side Just lief ore the totality ceases. Thin
appearance has given rise to the discovery
that a continuous red envelope surrounds
the sun to a, depth of three or four thou
nand miles. The name of
