OBSERVATIONS SUCCESSFUL
SCIENTISTS OF THE WORLD
CAUGHT GLIMPSES OF THE
ECLIPSE OF SUN.
Ten or Twelve Expeditions Were Sent
Out By the Big Observatories
of America.
CAPE ST. LOUIS, Labrador, Aug.
30.—Successful observations of the
eclipse of the sun were made this
morning by the scientists of the vari
ous expeditions sent to Labrador for
this occasion. Although detailed re
ports are still lacking, it is safe to say
that highly valuable material, includ
ing ocular observations of the vari
ous phases of the total eclipse, photo
graphs and spectrographs of the coro
na, etc., has been collected by the
scientists scattered over a limited
area of the eastern coast of Labrador.
The most important astronomical
expedition stationed in this region for
the purpose of observing the eclipse
was that sent out by the Lick observ
atory of California. It was headed by
Dr. Heber Curtis and Prof. Joel Steb
bins who were assisted by a large
force of competent and experienced
scientists. The expedition had estab
lished its station at Cartwright, a
Hudson Bay company's post in Sand
wich Bay, Labrador, about 150 miles
north of Belle Isle straits. So far as
it is possible to judge the atmospheric
conditions were favorable at that sta
tion, but the positive results of the ob
servations will not be definitely known
for some time, as no effort will be
made to develop the plates while the
expedition is in camp.
One of the most important tasks
which this expedition had undertaken,
was the rediscovery of the intramer
curial planet Vulcan, the existence of
which is still doubted by many as
tronomers. In the early part of the
seventies, La Verrier, a French as
tronomer, expressed the opinion that
there must be a planet between Mer
cury and the sun. as that was the only
satisfactory explanation of certain pe
culiarities in the movements of the
planet Mercury. At first history found
few adherents. During the eclipse of
1878 two American observers, Prof.
Watson, of Ann Arbor, in Colorado
and Dr. Swift, of Rochester, in Wyo
ming, observed what they believed to
be several small intermecurial plan
ets, but their claims were discredited
by astronomers in general. Since then
careful search for the planet, which
was named Vulcan*, was made by as
tronomers in all parts of the world,
but so far, without success. The
proximity of the planet to the sun
made it practically impossible to see
it even with the most powerful in
struments, so long as the luminous
disk of the sun was not obscured.
Whenever there was a total eclipse of
the sun it was hoped that some ob
server would be fortunate enough to
discover or rediscover the elusive
planet, but the hope was never rea
lized. No reports have arrived from
the various expeditions scattered
along the Labrador coast to the pres
ent time which would vouchsafe the
statement that Vulcan had been ob
served, but it is possible that some of
the more distant expeditions, far from
any point with telegraphic communi
cation have been more fortunate in
that respect than the Cartwright ex
pedition. There are about ten or
twelve expeditions from the United
States and Canada stationed along the
coast of Labrador. One of them is
in charge of the scientists from the
United States naval observatory in
I Washington, another is composed of
j several professional astronomers and
! amateur observers from Hartford,
: Conn., Another party, headed by W. F.
King, chief astronomer of the Cana-
I dian government.
! The approach of the obscuration
I presented a wonderful and imposing
j spectacle. From a high elevation the
! -hadow of the moon could be seen
r ishlng over the surface of the earth
like an enormous thundercloud with
a terrific velocity, approaching 2500
miles an hour. The complete obscura
tion lasted about three minutes and
fifty seconds.
The Eclipse of the Sun.
SELKIRK, Man., Aug. 30—The
eclipse of the sun was observed here
at sunrise by nearly the entire popu
lation. Small telescopes, opera
glasses and plain smoked glasses were
in great demand and those who had
prepared themselves for the event by
laying in a stock of field and opera
glasses did a rushing business during
the brief time during which the eclipse
could be observed here. The atmo
spreric conditions were fairly satis
factory, but the fact that the sun was
close to the horizon line when the
THE EVENING BTATESMAN WEDNESDAY, AUGUBT 30, 1905.
obscuration began and was veiled to
some extent by the moisture suspend
ed in the lower strata of the air made
the observations here of little value
for scientific purposes. No satisfac
tory photographs could be taken.
Seen In Algiers.)
BOX A, Algiers, Aug. 30.—The scien
tists connected with the observation
party sent out by the United States
naval observatory and the small par
ty of scientists headed by Prof. Wil
liam H. Pickering, of Harvard uni
versity report having made success
ful observations of the total eclipse
of the sun and having obtained many
valuable records, photographs and
spectrographs of the corona, the
streamers, etc., but it is not yet known
what they succeeded in observing the
planet Vulcan.
At Burgos, Spain.
BURGOS, Spain, Aug. 30.—The to
tal eclipse of the sun observed about
noon today with excellent success and
under the most favorable conditions
by an expedition headed by Miss
Mary Proctor, of Brooklyn, X. Y.,
daughter of the famous British as
tronomer, R. A. Proctor.
Saragossa reports having photo
graphs and spectrographs of the coro
na and the expedition headed by Prof.
John A. MiHer, of the Indiana State
University, reports equally satisfac
tory results. Nothing has been heard
so far of a rediscovery of the planet
Vulcan.
In Egypt.
ASSOUAN, Egypt, Aug. 30— Re
ports so far received indicate that the
British expedition under Prof. Turner,
as well as the American, Russian and
French expeditions obtained highly
satisfactory results in their observa
tions of the eclipse.
At Madrid.
MADRID, Aug. 30.—The total
eclipse of the sun was generally ob
served in the northern and middle
parts of Spain. Several French scien
tists, including Joseph Jaubert, and
Comte Henru de la Vaulx observed
the eclipse from a balloon which as
cended near Burgos, in Andalusia.
Reports from Valencia, Burgos, Sar
agossa and other points at which ob
servations of the total eclipse were
taken by parties of scientists from all
parts of the world indicate that the re
sults of the observations were highly
satisfactory and would prove of the
greatest value to science.
Royal Arcanum Rate Question.
PUT-IN-BAY, 0., Aug. 30.—The
members of the supreme council of
the Royal Arcanum are assembled
here to hold a conference for the con
sideration of the developments grow
ing out of the establishment ,of the
new rate. The plan adopted by the
supreme council earlier in the year
and which is to go into effect Octo
ber 1, has caused quite a commotion
in the order and has evoked the most
energetic protests among the lodges
and state bodies in all parts of the
country. An effort will be made to
induce the supreme council to make
a reduction in the rates which would
decrease the burden which the older
members will have to bear. The ses
sion will open this afternoon at the
Hotel Victor and over 100 supreme
representatives will be in attendance.
Will Consider Negro Question.
DETROIT, Mich., Aug. 30.—The an
nual session of the Afro-American
council was called to order here this
morning by Dr. W. H. Steward, of
Kentucky, the president of the organi
zation. Bishop Alexander Walters, of
the African Methodist Episcopal
church, who is also the executive
chairman of the organization, deliv
ered an address in which he called at
tention to the increasing number of
race riots in various parts of the
country, the efforts of the whites in
the southern states to completely dis
franchise the negroes, ingenuous laws
and other evils with which the col
ored race in the United States is
threatened and urged the members of
the council to make strenuous efforts
to put a stop to these adverse condi
tions. The conference will last three
Jays and will consider many vital
questions of importance to the colored
people of the United States.
Has Floating Isle.
MADISON LAKE, Minn., Aug. 30.—
Madison Lake, as a summer resort,
has been noted for several years, but
this year it offers a new attraction in
the shape of a floating island.
Several weeks ago a neck of lanJ
comprising about two acres, upon
which a wire fence ran the entire
length, broke from the main land on
the north side and under the force of
the wind, floated across the lake to the
other side.
Last week, in a heavy south wind, it
crossed the lake in another direction.
Here it remained two days, when a
west wind landed it into a bay on the
west shore of the lake, where it has
since remained. Persons living in the
vicinity were busy keeping their boats
and boathouses out of reach of this
queer island, futile attempts having
been made several times to anchor it.
