The English Eclipse Expedition.


 distinguished party of English astrono- mers is now established in favorable loca- tion for observing the total solar eclipse of the 17th. The members of the party are the famous astronomer, Mir. Norman Lockyer, and Dr. Schuster, with their assistants, MT. William Black and Mir. Buchanan, of the Challenger, will accompany them, and it is hoped that Professor Tacchini will join them. This important expedition is sent out by the British government, and has been equipped and manned by the Science and Art depart ment and the Royal society combined, at the suggestion of the Solar Physics committee. The position on the line of totality chosen for observation Is on the Nile, about hun dred miles north of Thebes, in 26' 32' north latitude. The advantages of this locality are that it is easily accessible, and the prospect of good weather is almost certain, for on the Nile it never rains, and the skies are without clouds. The disadvantages are that the total obscuration of the sun continues but seventy two seconds, while at Teheran, in Persia, the darkness continues for one hundred and four seconds. The second disadvantage is that | the eclipse occurs in the midst of the Kham- seen season, when for period of fifty days Lower Egypt is often swept by hot, south east wind, so laden with dust that the sun is entirely obscured.
 To obviats the first trouble, in regard to the brief duration of totality, every possible arrangement is being made to ensure prompt ness and dispatch in improving the precious seconds during which the brightness of the ! suns face is yelled To obYiate the second | trouble an elevated position has been chosen | above the reach of the terrible Khamseen. The Egyptian government has warmly coop erated with the British government in doing everything in it's power to help on the expe- dition. The Peninsular and Oriental steam ship Kaisar-iHind transported as far as Suez the eclipse party and the thirty packing cases containing each separate part of the two with their spectroscopes and cameras This essential apparatus was then carried in a special van to Cairo, ferried over the Nile, | taken to Siut-the most southerly railway station in Egypt-and then forwarded to it's [ destination.

After the first enthusiasm excited by the discovery of the South African diamond fields had died out, critical attention was di- rected to the imperfections which brilliants from the Cape disclosed. They were not possessed of the pure color which distin- guishes the perfect stone, and they were charged with propensity to burst in pieces upon slight provoca, ton. At recent meeting of the French Academy of Sciences, M. Roscoe gave ar account of some experiments which hs had made with the intent of ascertaining what the nature of these imperfections is.
