them, obtaining the rates of chro-
nometers and ascertaining the position
of the island with increased accuracy. A
,totality OF Jave minutes and forty sec-
onds may be expected at this point. It
ought to be utilized to add largely to
our present knowledge Of the constitu-
ton of The SUN and the phenomena at
tendant on such an event, especially as
no such opportunity Of long totality will
again occur in the lifetime of any person
now living. The expense of such an ex-
pedition is estimated at $40. 900, and if
the right men can obtain leave of alb
sence from their duties in order to make
the trip, it is believed that the money
can be procured by subscription from
the friends of science in this country and
in England. The expedition might be
expected to return to San Francisco by
the first of June. There will be an
eclipse with long totality in 1886, but
the central line is in the South At
lahtic Ocean, with no position on land
which can be occupied as an observing
station. -~

TRADES UNIONS IN ENGLAND,

Mr.. George Howells has published in
the Nineteenth Century an account of
the trades unions of England, which in
dicates that their condition is much bet
ter than has been commonly supposed.
The membership in all of them he puts
at more than l, 100 600 men, and, by the
regular monthly payments Of these, the
unions are in receipt Of an aggregate in
come of about $40, ,OOO, 900 per annum.
The common assumption is that these
unions have no other purpose than to
encourage strikes; and, though it is
true that the protection of it's members
in the matter of wages, is the chief rea-
son for the formation Of a union, it is
also worthy of note that only small
part of the money raised is used in sus-.
tanning conflicts between labor and capi-
tai. Thus, in the returns for some years
of a number of the large associations, It
is found that, while about SO per cent. of
the outgo went to sustain members who
were simply out of work through the ac-
cidents of trade, 25 per cent. to help
those who were sick and 8 per cent. each
for funeral charges and for a superan-
nuation fund, only 6 per cent. was paid
out on account of strikes. Mr.. Howelk
maintains that the criticism made against
these unions, on the ground that they
insist upon uniformity in wages, is de-
prived of great deal of its force from
the fact that only really able workmen
are allowed =, become members. He
says that, lii England, the reported
tyranny of the chief secretary of union
has no foundation in fact; that criticism
of an exceedingly acrid character is all
the time going on, and, in monthly pub.
lications, the secretary of union is
compelled to print any letter or resolu-
ton criticising or rebuking him which
any of the lodges may choose to send.
The Office, according to Mr.. Howells, is
one which involves an enormous amount
of hard work, while the average salary
of the men upon whom the doing of this
| work falls is not over 81 900 per annum.
The entire expense of the management
| of one of these great unions, including
collections and payments in small sums;
is not over, on the average, l2} per; cent.
of it's receipts.

THE TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE OF 1878.

According to a statement in Nature
for the issue of September 21, observa-
tions of this eclipse will be limited to
stations on one or two of the smaller
islands of the Marquesan group, the
Roberts Islands of the British admiralty
charts. They are in longitude 141'
west and latitude about 81 south. Mr.,
Charles n. Rockwell, in paper read
before Section A, of the Montreal meet
ing of the American Association, pointed
out the fact that there is q small island
i'll the South Pacific Ocean which is far
vorably situated for an observation of
this eclipse. AS his paper conveys in
formation not generally known, we give
briet abstract of it: The astronomical
event of chief interest for the coming
year, 1883, is the total eclipse Of the
sun, to occur son the 9Th of May. At
the point of greatest obscuration the
total phase will last for nearly six min
utes. but unfortunately there is no land
at this precise locality on which an OBJ
server can rest the sole of his foot, Or
place an instrument. In fact the line Of
totality is almost wholly a water track
among the islands Of the South Pacific
Ocean, commencing off the southern
coast of Australia, and running in q
northeasterly direction to about 81 south
latitude, in longitude 1877 west, thence
turning soutaeasterly towards South

coming home with his wife, discovered dhis
property scattered over the floor and the
burglar looking out Of the window He
procured his gun without arousing the
burglars suspicious, took aim and fired.
The burglar fell to the floor. The house,
holder approached the prostate figure,
and, to his astonishment, found that it
was only q bolster rugged up in his own
Sunday clothes. Having left his brother
in the house he at once recognized the
author Of the practical joke. He took
the figure and stood it up by the front
door SO that when his brother entered, it
ellupon him. He began calling ''po-
lice, " fire" :. murder and brought
out the neighbors, who aided him in CO.
curing the burglar. L On discovering the
character Of the intruder, he decided to
retire awile from the business Of making

TOBACCO ADuLTrRAr1oHs.

The tricks Of the tobacconist's trade
have again been brought unpleasantly
to the attention Of the public, says the
New York Times. Some street urehins
were arrested recently for picking up
discarded and .unclean cigar-stumps
from the cutters. They explained that
they engaged in the occupation because
their findings were bought up by Ger
tain cigarette manufacturers. The
stock thus secured was made use of in
producing new cigarettes for the mar
ket. In addition to this refuse tobacco,
however, vanilla and valerian, as well as
cascarilla bark, are used to impart
pleasant flavor. A like mixture of i'm
pure material is known to obtain in a
great deal of the stock used in making
cigars. It is in the imitation of the
favor of really good cigars, however,
that great ingenuity is displayed, and
rich profits reaped. A recent writer on
this subject states that no less than fif-
teen Of the cigar factories Of the netrop-
oils employ chemists for the sole pur-
pose Of ''aavoring" cigars. The rich
aromaof the weed is one of the chief
charms of tobacco indulgence. But
this charm would probably be lost could
the smoker be aware of the manner in
which he was systematically duped by
chemical treatment of his favorite weed.
The substances used to impart flavor are
numerous and the formulas for their en-
ployment equally plentiful. Vanilla is
most commonly made use Of in the form
Of 4 tincture, with which aroma is i'm
parted to the "fllings." The tonka
bean, balsam fir; cedar-oil, and valerian
are q few more Of the most generally
used Aavoring substances. But by far
the greatest injury to the smokers, the
Ariter asserts;sis produced by the intro
duction into the. cigar of burned ammo
MIA, and the soaking of themin saltpetre.
This is~ done to make the cigar burn
freely. Again, some manufacturers
treat their weeds with sulphuric acid and
bromide of potassium, and these produce
an injurious effect akin to alcoholic in,
toxication. Adttlteration is more or less
extensively resorted to in the prepara.
tion of the tobacco itself, use being made
of potato leaves, sugar: potash, tama
rinds, apise-seed, gum, and different oils.
The cigar product OF New York City il
reported to amount. to 826, ,666, 900 an
nually, the cigarette supply reaching
229, 800, 900 a year, both combined en-
p]oying the services Of 25, 900 persons.
