The daily phoenix. [volume] (Columbia, S.C.) 1865-1878, 1868-07-30

The total eclipse of the sun. on
August ID, 1868, will be of greater
duration than any eclipse for the next
two centuries. While the sun is al
most at the greatest distance from
the earth. the moon is nearest the
earth, and the moons shadow will
pass near the earth's equator-all
circumstances which increase the
eclipse, either in duration or in ex-
tent, on the earth's surface. The
total eclipse will commence q little
past sunrise, at Alden, (Rod Sea- J
passes during the forenoon through
India, and ends in the evening in
New Guinea. The longest duration
of the total eclipse will be six minutee
and fifty seconds-a duration greater
than it has been for more than O.
thousand years back.
Most of the European Govern
ments have resolved to send scientific
expeditions to India, &C., for the OBJ.
servation of this rare phenomenon.
The English expedition left England
some time ago; the French expedi-
tion will be sent to Cochin China
and Malacca, and will be aided by
several vessels of the French navy:
the Austrian expedition viii 90 to
Alden. The Parliament of the North
German Union voted $4,000 for an
expedition, and even the almost
bankrupt Papal Government will
send an expedition to India with the
renowned Father Secchi. Whether
the United States will be represented
is not known. - =
