LOCAL INDUSTRIES.

On Friday a car load of leaC
pipe, manufactured at the Germans
white lead and lead pipe works
some eight miles south, were ship
ped to this city. The pipe is vel
made and compares most favorably
with any of the kind imported from
the east or the west.
The event here recorded is OF
more Importance than casual
reader might imagine. 1t is an
event worthy of profound public
attention, and marks an era in the
development of the material re-
sources of Utah which may be num-
bered among the most important of
its kind. Those who have become
reasonably cOnversant with the re-
sources of the territory realize that
no section is equally blessed in the
abundance and variety of its mine
rails favorable for the establishment
of large and permanent industries
It is, indeed, a matter of surprise
a surprise which increases as infor-
nation on the subject becomes more
gsneral--that the manufacture of
many important articles of trade
and commerce has not long since
been commenced in Utah. For
years we have shipped away our
lead to the east and the west, in order
that it might lie converted into
white lead and lead pipe, and then
we have willingly paid large sums
to have this same lead, in new
forms, returned 10 US. It has been
a continued pouring down of mamma
for the railroads; and we have paid
freight both ways because no one
had the energy or public spirit to
establish an industry which would
SO far as it was individually con-
cerned-stop the perpetual bleeding
and impoverishment of the public
caused by excessive railroad charges.
The railroads of course are not at
fault. unless it has been on excessive
freight charges; but the men who
have possessed the greatest means,
as well as those classed as laborers,
have suffered alike because of near
sightedness and a lack of courage
which kept men of wealth from en-
barking in manufacturers that must
in time prove remunerative to those
who inaugurated them, as well as
to a public which has for years
paid unnecessary tribute to other
quarters of the country. Surprising
for a few years the money invested
did not pay from 10 to 20 per cent,
ara there no other ways in realizing
benefit from money invested
than the mere matter of dividends ?

to all men to keep money

allow of minute exploration of all
the regions where the small star may
be met with.
This gives a capital Importance to
the eclipse of May 6 next, one of the
longest of the century.
We will now examine the circum.
stances of this great eclipse, and the
means that it would be well to employ
for observation of it.
The total eclipse of May 6 next
will have duration of minutes at
the point where the phase is maximum
6 minutes SO seconds) ); a time triple
that of ordinary eclipses.
The central line is wholly COM
priscd in the South Pacific Ocean.
and we can only hope to observe it in
the islands Of that ocean.
After an attentive study of the
question, it has appeared to us that
two islands would do about equally
well for observation those of Flint
and Caroline.
Flint Island latitude H. 30 S.,
and longitude 1871 49, w. of Green
wich) is the nearest to the central
line. Calculation gives for the du-
ration of totality in this island min
utes 33 seconds. Caroline Island is
100 g. W., and g. so s.; the du.
ration of the totality there will be .
minutes 20 seconds that is, only 13
seconds less than in Flint Island.
1t will be seen that the astro-
nomical conditions of the pheno-
menon are extremely favourable in
these islands, and it is to these sta
tons we should propose to the
Bureau to send an expedition.
This expedition should start from
Paris, go to New York, traverse the
American Continent by the railway
to San Francisco, and there find
steamer (of French service about
to he established), which should
carry it to the Marquesas Islands.
There man of-war of the French
station should take it up, and deposit
one portion at Caroline Island, the
other at Flint Islaud. This ship
which, further, should be provided
with all that is necessary for the es-
tablishment of the stations, the safety
and the subsistence of the observers,
should not leave those regions before
bringing the mission to Tahiti, where
our enpoyes would find means Of
transport for their return, either by
the way they went, or (Which would
seem preferable), by way of Aus
tralia.-Nut,re, Nov. 80.

the vapours, which in the solar spec
trum, produce the dark lines it pre-
seats, exist in the state of high in
candcsccnce.
The eclipse of 1869, which was
visible in America, allowed indeed of
the important observation (always
confirmed since) of the reversal of
the solar spectrum at the extreme
border of the disc, that is to say, at
the points where the philosophers is
Immediately in contact with the chro-
mosphere; phenomenon which does
not signify that the photospere itself
may not contain the same vapours
and concur in the production of the
solar spectral lines. 20
Thus the discovery of new solar
envelope, the recognised nature of
the protuberanccs, and the knowledge
of their relation to the sun; lastly,
the conquest of method for the
daily study of those phenomena ;such
were the fruits of spectrum analysis
applied to the study of this long c.
clipse of 1868. H'
But total eclipse presents other
manifestations completely uneX-
planned up to the time of which we
speak. There is seen, beyond the
protuberances and the chromospheric
ring, magnificent aureole, or lumi-
nous corona, of soft brightness and
silvery tint, which may reach as far
as an entire radius of the dark limb
of the moon.
The study of this beautiful pheno-
menon, by methods which have given
such magnificent results, was imme-
diately undertaken, and occupied the
astronomers during the eclipses of
1869, 1870, and 1871.
But the aureole or corona, though
constituting brilliant phenomenon,
has in reality but weak luminous po-
wer. Hence the difficulty of oh
tanning its spectrum with its true
characters. Thus the astronomers
differed at first as to the real nature
of the phenomenon. In 1871, and
by the use of an extremely luminous
INSTRUMENT, IL WAS ueIlnlLlVciy proved
that the spectrum of the corona con-
tains the bright lines of hydrogen and
the green line called 1474 of Kirch-
hoff's maps, an observation which
demonstrates that the corona is real
object constituted of luminous gases
forming third envelope round the
solar globe.
If indeed the phenomenon of the
corona were Il simple phenomenon of
reflection or of attraction, the coro-
nal spectrum would merely be weak
ened solar spectrum. On the other
hand, the characters of the solar spec
trum are here quite subordinate, and
the spectrum is that of protuberential
gases and of matter still unknown,

in Egypt, have yielded confirmation
of these results.
But if the constitution Of the sun
is being thus rapidly unveiled, there
still remain great problems to be
solved, both as to this last solar en-
velope, and rs to the region near it.
First of all, have the immense APP
pendices which the corona has pre-
sented during some eclipses, an oh.
jective reality. and are they a de-
pendence of this immense coronal at
mosphere, or might they rather be
streams of metcorites circulating
round the sun Gas one of the mem
bers of the Bureau has suggested)?
We do not forget the zodiacal light,
the relations of which to those de-
pendence of the SIM remains to be
determined.
But these problems are not the
only ones we have now to attack,
during the OSCILLATIONS of the solar
globe. Do the regions with which
we are occupied contain one or
several planets, which the illumination
Of our atmosphere, so bright in the
neighbourhood of the sun, may have
always concealed from us? LIE Verrier
long studied this question, and his
analytical researches led him to sup
pose their existence.
On the other hand, several OBJ
servers have alleged that they have
observed transits of round and dark
bodies in front of the sun; but these
observations are far from being GER
tain. The surface of the sun Is often
the seat of small very round spots,
which appear and disappear in time
often short enough to simulate the
passage of round bodies before that
star.
The question is of capital impor-
lance; hence it at present justly en-
cages the thoughts of all astronomers.
May the analysis of lie Verrier en-
rich the solar world towards its cen
trail regions, as it has done with such
a magnificent success in the most dis.
tant regions?
We have but two means Of solving
the problem, whose solution is more
particularly incumbent on French
astronomy; the attentive study of
the solar surface, or the examination
of the cilcumsolar region when an e.
clipse renders their exploration posi-
BILE to us. This last means seems the
most efiicacious, but on the condition

THE APPROACHING ECLIPSE OF MAY s,
tS03,s

The 9th of May this year will wit
ness, in the distant region of Oceania,
one of the rarest and most important
astronomical phenomena of the CEN
fury, viz. total eclipse of the sun,
which, owing to the respective posi-
tons, but rarely realised, of the sun
and the moon, will have duration
quite extraordinary. ...
Now, in the present state of science,
when the most important questions
as to the constitution of the sun and
that of the uncxplored spaces near
him, and the existence Of those hy-
pothetical planets which LIE Verrier's
analysis indicated within the orbit Of
Mercury, are still pending, phe-
nomenon which presents to us, for

the suns dazzling brilliancy with

We shall presently examine the
conditions under which this rare So
lar occultation will be produced; let
us first see what is the state of the.
questions which have to be considered
on this occasion. One of the most
important is that regarding the con-
stitlltion of the space Immediately

it's long duration and by the maturity
of the problems that had to be at
tackled, enabled us in some sort to-
tear the veil which hid from us the
phenomena existing beyond the WISH
BILE surface of the sun. 1t was then
that was solved the enigma so long
pondered over regarding the nature
of those roseate protuberances which
surround in such singular way the
limb Of the eclipsed sun. r.
Spectral analysis taught us that
they were immense appendages be-
longing to the sun, and formed al
most exclusively of incandescent by

the method suggested by this same
eclipse, and which allows of daily
study of those phenomena, revealed
the relations of those protuberances
to the solar globe. 1t was perceived

The action of Governor Ordway secur-
ing for his son the best salaried office in
the territory, naturally excites much
comment, and as naturally causes feel
ing of disgust. It is presumable that
such appointments, like kissing, 70 by
favors to greater or less extent, and
that q governor may be influenced to
some degree by personal friendships.
But to choose from among the many eli
gible men of the territosy his own son
was not to have been expected even
from MIR. Ordway. The appointment
of New Englanders to the gubernatorial
chairs OF the territories does not seem
right; They come here. with an idea
that the people of the new west are not
capable OF self-government: New Eng
land papers duriag the late discussion
Of the admission question, stated that
Dakota did not possess material from
which to fashion senators, and that in
case of admission prominent politicians
from the east, who were com.
ing here for the purpose, would nat.
urally be called upon to fill the places.
This means that old, worn out paty
men of the east would be more capable
OF representing the people of Dakota
than would q man of Dakota, and that
our people should be willing and glad to
acknowledge it. We say it is not Just
that people who hold such opinions,
which are expressed as much by their
actions as by words upon their arrival
here, should be appointed to the terrific.
rial governorships. But they are so ap.
pointed, and the people cannot help
themselves. They have no voice that
will reach the ears of the president and
the senate, or that. reaching there, will
have any effect. But were it the Office
of governor alone that is filled by such
men and in such manner, it would not
be so bad. As the imported governor
however has nominating power in the
territorial offices, and from his position,
influence with the council sufficient to
secure the endorsement of his nomina.
tions, he naturally fills them with i'm.
portations like himself. Faithful service
of the territory in times past counts for
nothing; the man appointed must be one
after the governors own heart, and in
this instance of the appointment of ter.

age than the governors son. Even
to man who has been as long
in politics as Governor Ordway and
whose sensibilities may reasonably
be expected to have become somewhat
blunted thereby, there must mingle
with this appointment sense of humiIi-
ation-of bad taste displayed, but $4,000
a year is balm. The governor and his
family are not in Dakota for Their
health. Their ambition is not SO much
to gain honor as to secure the almighty
dollar, and with his excellency the end
seems to justify the means. Men less
educated than Mr.. Ordway and making
less claims to refinement, would have
hesitated long before doing such an act
as that which must make those who have
been his friends and supporters blush
for him.
