tnatiOn In one week from the date OF leaving 1t has
travelled 200 miles and completed the temporary OBJ

eseOpes with speetrOscOpes Photographic apparatus
etc. were all in working order July 90 The obserya-
tory sixteen feet long, with Photographic building
attached Fortunately the water at Rawns Is suitable
for Photographic purposes, being brought from the
granite hills three miles to the north by wooden pipes
four inches in interior diameter One OF the residents
has also offered to supply Dr. Draper with filtered rain

distlling apparatus will not be needed unless for the
most delicate parts of the Photographic work The
perintendent Union Pacific repair shops, Mr. Gal
braith has given of his house 10 the party as
headquarters and the observatory is erected immed
atey 10 the east Of this residence As the prevailing
winds are from the west the sheltered position will give
an additional chance for success The weather up to the
present has cloudy and the clouds have extended

The division Of work is that Professor Draper and
Mrs Draper TO take the sDectrOscopc photographs
of the corona well ordinary photographs OF the
