SCIENTIFIC OBSERVATIONS.

Important scientific expeditions have been
organized by the National Observatory, the
Nautical Almanac Office, the United States Coast
Survey, by many of the leading universities
and by liberal citizens, to view the totality phe-
nomena, with all the facilities for scientific in
vestigation. The sun in various stages of eclipse
will be photographed; the time and incidents of
the phases noted, and material secured for
special and exhaustive analysis of the spectre
scopic phenomena.

OUR ECLIPSE.

On the afternoon of Saturday next, August 7,
an eclipse of the sun will occur, noteworthy
and important.
1t will be visible as a partial eclipse from the
barren steppes of Western Siberia, across the
whole breadth of Alaska, British America, the
United States, and the West Indies. This will
be the most interesting eclipse that has occurred

having appropriated $4,000 for the observation of
the eclipse, to be under the direction of Pro-
fessor Coffin, the superintendent of the 'Nauti-
cal Almanac" that gentleman at first decided to
select either Ochotsk or Pensjinsk in Siberia,
and Norton Sound in Alaska, as the most favor
able positions for observing the eclipse. He
applied to the Secretary of the Navy to send
ship to either or both of those regions in season
for the observation, and Mr.. Borie directed Rear
Admiral Rowan, commanding the Asiatic
Squadron, to meet the observers at Yokohama
by the first of July. Instructions were also sent
