Many observations Of great astronomical interest
have been made which are not essentially connected
as yet with the measurement of the parallaX. Sew
eral observers noted the beautiful edge of light
rounding Venus during the transit contrasting with
the disk of the sun. Others remarked the complete
visibility of Venus several minutes before the first
and after the fourth contacts she stood projected
against the corona of the sun. The diameter OF
Venus was accurately measured By many observers,
among whom was Prof. Peters. This is the first oc-
casion on which this measurement could be accu-
rately Effected as it has been hitherto vitated by
the intense glare Of the planet when tappears ordina
riy Ia the sky. The atmosphere Of Venus, too, was
the subject of careful study. A singular feature
that was noted the fact that only the most skill
ful observers could perceive the atmosphere
of the planet after Venus had entered
upon the suns disk. Some Of those who
witnessed the transit have recorded that they OBJ
served that the planet had grayish aspect. 1t is
suruised that this NAV have been he hue of the
atmosphere of Venus when indirectly illumined by
the sunlight, what might be regarded as twilight
upon the planet. Il would be interesting to know
if this was least noticeable toward the center The
Italians under Tacchini, using the spectroscOpe,
aud observing the contacts by the disappearance
and subsequent reappearance of the bright lines OF
the suns corona when Venus made her entrance on
ana eXlJ from tue sun ulSh, Tedtntu tue lOlONlHs
definite conclusions respecting the suns atmosphere
and that Of the planet The suns extreme edge
which we actually see in a telescope, differs phys
ically from the part just within the edge although
there is no difference to the eye-in fact, it gives
a spectrum Cf bright lines, while the spec
truu of the true snbjaceut sun gives con-
tinuous spectrum with dark lines. This phys
zeal difference would probably tend TO make
this stratum variable in thickness and lumin-
ousuesa. The ring around the planet. which
in the former transits a. in the present one, was
visible around Venus both on and off the sun, in-
dcates in the spectroscope that in that planet in
our own the atmosphere is composed, TO a certain
extent, Of aqueous vapOr. The spectrum Of The at
mosphere Of Venus shows two dark bands in the
red near B and C., corresponding to two which are
known 10 be caused by the yapo- of water in the
earth's atmosphere. To those who have watched
the tendency of modern discovery, there * 10 need
of enlarsing on the importance Of fact like this.
which adds to the many proofs of the unity OF origin
of the members OF our solar system.
Ii Is too early yet to speculate to the probable
vaue of the photographs obtained. They are not as
sharp as was expected Venus in several Of them Is
slightly distorted The law OF this distortion may
10 eaenIabe. The fret step has not Yet been taken
New-York tribune., 1875-03-08

in having the photographs all vigorously measured
At present this at least is certain: we may nope
that the pictures will furnish all the data neces-
sary for full and accurate determination OF the
solar parallax. may rest assured that sufficient
number of photographs has been obtained Tor that
purpose, at localities where according to theory,
they should prove of the utmost service. 1t s stia
question whether the refined measurements con-
templated can be made on the photographs. There
has not yet been time for the announcement from
Washington either that they have reached there
without harm, or that they can be successfully
measured. After this has been accomplished there
remains only problem of mathematics, with which
astronomers are quite competent to deal. But
months. if not years. must elapse before the solution
of the problem can give to the scientific world
more accurate knowledge than we already possess
from other sources to the distance OF the earth
from the center of the solar system.
