EcIJpsE OF TIE SUN.-On the Eth or ncNe
December there is to be total eclipse or the
sun. It will be visible close by Arabia trSt, IN
the omen sea. 1t will traverse the northern
mart Of the Indian peninsula. 1t Will thence
nasS across the northern extremity OF Ceylon.
t, will not touch land again until it reaches the
south of Sumatra and the western extremity OF
Java. Thence it will cross the northern parts
of Australia, and except in some OF the smaller
islands of the Polynesian group, 1t will not be
seen again on land. The governments OF Eiu-
rope particularly that Of Great Britain, are
nreparine to send out expeditions to the avail
able points of observation, and it is stated that
some of the best astronomers of Great Britain
and France, are determined to find their way
to Java. and from that point Of observation to
examine once more, with all the aid that science
can give the suns corona.
The u s.. will not participate with the Eu-
ropcan governments. The corps OF observers
ut the National Observatory would cheerfully
have accented the invitation of the British as
tronomers to cooperate with them, but owing
to the protracted absence last year in making
observations of the eclipse in southern Europe,
the routine work of the Observatory is very
much behind Washington Republican.
FANNY EILsIER-The once celebrated
dauseuse, Fanny Ellsler is now said to be lv-
ing quietly at the Hague, occupying most OF
her time in raising flowers, of which she is pas,
sionatcly fond. Roses are her favorltcs, and
she has raised one particular kind which has
for some time borne sher name, and Which IS
much priced in Holland. Though she danced
h.tore onr grandmothers. she has entered only
very recently, on her 6lSt year She Is much
nstc.mc5 in The Dutch capital for her numcr
