The GREAT ECLIPSE oE lS6O.-Mr Faye, in Il
memorial recetly reac before the French Arade'
nv, suggests ,lcOncert in the observations to he
made Ivy the asronom"rs upon the great ecllpse
of the sun in Jly, 1860, partial over IL great
portion of Eurpe and America, and t"tal in
Spain. Algiers, iOr0cc0 and IL part OF North
America. Mr.. Aye recommends the establish
ment of stations With som degree of regularity
along the path ofthe total eclipse. Among many
recommendations 0 astronomers in their ohser-
S vntions, are, the study Of the physical construc-
tion of the sun. oithe protuherances on the So
lar surface, The tdtiug of the tables OF the
moons motion, careful observations of meteoro-
l. gc,l phenomena, of magnetic variation. ana
9 the like. during the continuation Of the eclipse.
; If the plan suggrsteby Mr.. Faye be acted upon,
it will furnish more posi- i've information than
u has been obtained Iron any dozen cclirses since
: the world hogan.
Great aid can be derived from the application
of photography to rcciding the phases OF chs
extraordinary eclipse. A number of French as
tr0nOmers propose to 6 to Spain to observe the
eclipse among shtm is\lr Faye, lie is now
