WATCHING THF. ECLIPSE. The Results of the American Expedition in Africa. MANY PICTURES WERE SECURER. Th« Frigrhtfnl Velocity of the Moot»*« -The Cape Ledo Kspedltion VF a a Very Larky, bat the Englishmen Wore DUappoInted. Shad' #T. Tavl^dk Luanda, Dac. 24.—TIH 'father was clear during the first part of Äxeclipee, but the sky was obscured about %s time of totality. The direct view with Jt photoheliograph of forty foot focus proved an entire sqccess, and the equatorial mounting for it worked very successfully. This instrument was managed by Professor Bigelow ami the new circumpolar plates of twenty-two inches in-diamuter were handled without difficulty. Each plate has ten images of the partially ec'.ipsod sun on it, and the measurement of each image will give accurate corrections to the position of the moon relative to the sun. Man,' Pictures of the Eclipse. We obtained seventy of those pictures be fore the middle of the eclipse aud ten after totality. There was no hitch in the working of the apparatus, which was all automatic, and with on extra photograpbio assistant it would have bi<en easily possible to take twelve or fifteen hundred pictures of the eclipse in all its partial phases, had there bwm any object in so doing. Professor Pickering's cloud recorder, for giving com plete pict ures of the eclipse, was mounted on a secure foundation and operated in con nection with other apparatus. Everything Worked Smoothly. The beginning of the total eclipse or tho •eeoud contact was lost in tile clouds and could not bo observed, and tho third contact was obscured by clouds and was not ob served. The end of the eclipse, or fourth and last contact, happened in the clouds Neither photographic records nor optical observations of it were possible. The pneu matic movements of all-.the photograpbio apparatus were thoroughly accurate. Not only were the durations of the exjxisure regulated with entire precision, but the exact time of the beginning and ending of «very exposure was automatically recorded by the same apparatus. EnenmitUe Valves a Success. It it demonstrated that the principle is correct, and with pneumatic valves it is ahown to be possible to operate five telescope cameras as easily as two or three have been >onaged in eclipse work heretofore. The Ocean Party's Lurk. The United .States ship Pensacola has re sumed to Cape Ledo from her tr ip out at pa to observe the eclipse. The ocean party »as only partially successful, aud they bring lack a few pictures of the eclipoe, some of which will be serviceable. The longitude of St Paul de Luanda will not be determined by the exchange of cable signals with the Royal observatory at Cape Town. The Moon*. Terrifying Shadow. The color., a few minutes before totality, both on laud aud In the sky, were magnifi cent The moon's shudow wheu approach ing our station at Cape Ledo, swept over the ocean toward us with a velocity actually terrifying. Tho water, which In the sun light had been of a lovely indescribable pea cock blue or green, assumed a dark livid green, almost black and the comb of break ers, snow white iu ordinary daylight, under ♦he gloom of the eclipse broke Into a toaui jf lurid purple. The Sky Turned Livid Gray. There was no marked change in the day Jfcht until the sun was nearly covered. ■|hen a strange portentous, pallid semi-ob $urity spread over the oarth. The sky «Jrned livid gray, inducing the feeling that •otne terrible catastrophe was near at hand. The atmospheric conditions varied very much during the eclipse, alternating with cloud and sunshine, but the results are not disappointing. During the total eclipse sev eral prominences attained great distinctness and brilliancy. The air tem|>erature fell slightly below its normal, the lowest tem perature occurring several minutes alter totality. The Object i4 the Expedition. The object of the expedition was to study the corona or halo of brightness that sur rounds the black disc of Ute moon when the aun is hidden behind it. The American ob servers undertook to find out whether the corona actually changes its form during the two hours or more while the moon's shadow is crossing the Atlantic. They undertook also to find out whether the fine rays that appear to radiate from the polee of the sun, and which form an Interesting feature of the corona. The conclusive answer to this question is of fundamental importune e—for, if them rays are curved there can be no mere optical effect of, for instance, "light shining through holes in the sun's chromosphere." If these rays ore curved there is likely to be fearful mortality among current speculation regard ing the origin of the corona The American observers undertook particularly to find out whether the corona has now the same long Equatorial extensions that it had in January K>t, and which were first brought promi tly to attention by American observers in calipee of August, 1878. The result of expedition will be announced more fully curved or not r The My.tertou. Corona. No one now thinks the corona to be due to our atmosphere, though there are still a few physicist« who do not believe it to be cither a solar or lunar appendage in the true sense of the word. For, if the corona has no reality and is a mere atmospheric effect, then all the solar light that can fall on our atmosphere must come from the body of the aun. But the shadow, within which tho sun does not shine, is often seventy milee or more tu diameter; so that, with no other source of light than the body of the sun, the sky of the eclipse observer would be as dark mb night, whereas it is brighter than full CjZonlight This proves conclusively that U ulight which we get so abuudantly during av^.al eclipse cornea from the oorona, unless wXsume that there is a fairly dense lunar •Molwre. ' y be regarded as practically settled that Ihe corona is a real physical thing and that it belongs to the sun itself. Five hours in a century, at a liberal esti mate, in which to secure the facte relating to a phenomenon so complicated and impor tant as the corona cannot be regarded as a very liberal allowance. Enough informa tion aboutit has now accumulated,however, to give some hint of the things we don't know about it, and that is worth a great deal. it F.ngliah Observer,' Bad Luck.
