THE CORONA.
The corona was remarkably different
from all lipreconcelved notions ON the sub
lcc,, and nom all previous descriptions
both IN size and shape, II has always
Deen represented as nearly annnhr trlng
IoTmeul OF about equal brcadtha all the way
rouho the euge OF the moon, and not mop
Ihan one-tenth of her apparent diameter
ihc corona oi saturday last was exceed
lngly irregular IN It's outline, and in some
places projected to distance fully Ia {
that VI the apparent diameter of the moon,
or nearly 100000 miles, Our diagram
shows the relative lengths of the several
portions except that ON the sides the
length is slightly CONSTRUCTED ....r
The greatest length was almost identical
with the direction of the moons path
across the face of the sun, which very
nearly colncided With the plane of the
