The steamship Monongahela, which has

American scientific expedition, located at
Kerguelen Land, for the purpose of observing
the transit of Venus The despatch received
from the astronomers bears date OF January
II, and announces that in their labors in OBJ
serving the planets track on the 9th of
December the scientists were eminently sue
cessful. The weather was very favorable,
considering the general state of the weather
on Desolatlon Island. The English and
purpose were also successful in observing the
phenomenon. Several excellent photographs
of the sun at the periods of the planets con-
facts were obtained. All the instruments of
the Americans orked with great satisfaction
lKergueen, or Desolaton Island, is barren
tract or land, situated In the Indian ocean, In
latitude 40 deg. 54 min. south, Longitude 10 deg.

favorable location for transit observations eX-
petitions have been despatched Jnither by the
English, French and American governments.
While the successful record OF the moments OF the
contacts Of Venus with the SUMS rim as noted at
Kerguelen will not be OF very great importance ro
the scientists employing the Delisean method OF
calculation, 1T Will be OF vast consequence the
American astronomers who are to use the me thod

planet must have appeared very seuslbly higher

Enable than that observed IN Siberian latitudes.
The work done at Kergueen may, therefore, be
looked upon as the crowning labor OF the Amerl.
