iron or steel bars and billets. 1t will
take up 800 pounds, and as soon as

moving, drop it in the proper place,
thus doing the work of gang of men.

the total cost Of the postal service the

to the great extension of the free de.

earth habitable. 1t is hoped that a
good deal of light will be thrown upon
this question by the observations of
the coming eclipse.
OBSERVATIONS IN CALIFORNIA.
"Then again the observers on this
occasion will have the advantage of
making their observations in remark
able clear atmosphere, for there is no
clearer air in the world than that Of
California, where the eclipse observers
will go, and in addition they will place
their instruments at high altitude,
some 1000 feet above the sea, thus
getting above much of the smoke and
stir of this dim spot-the earth. The
great advantages OF - high altitude
from which 70 make observations has
been long recognized and has been
emphasized within the past year by
the marvellous achievements of the
great Lick telescope mounted on the
summit OF Mount Hamilton. By the
way, it is most unfortunate that the
line of totality runs between 100 and
200 miles north of Mount Hamilton,
and as it would be impracticable to
move SO large an instrument, it will be
impossible for the astronomers to see
this interesting eclipse with the most
powerful telescope in the world. But
the Lick observatory will send smaller
instruments with observers to view the
total phase OF the eclipse, while the
giant telescope will only have partial
eclipse to exercise its powers upon.
Upon the whole l feel sure that we
shall have some very interesting news
in astronomical circles after this eclipse
is over,

THE LINE OF ToTALITY.

Unfortunately the line of totality,
which is never the same for two eclip-
ses, has way Of selecting remote re-
gions of the earth to be favored with
the wonderful and magnificent views
that it has to offer, and on this occa.
sion the United States is peculiarly
favored in having even a part of the
line running across its territory.
"The path of the total eclipse, as il
is technically called, will begin near
the center of the group of the Aleutian
islands, which stretch across from
Alaska to Kamtchatka, and sweeping
southwark and eastward over the
Northern Pacific ocean, will reach the
continent little north of San Fran
cisco. It will continue on in broad
curve turning northward and crossing
Nevada, Idaho and Montana, will end
far up in Canada, about half way BE-
tween the western end of Lake Supe-
rior and Hudson Bay. While only OBJ
servers along this line will see the sun
totally eclipsed, a partial eclipse will
be seen all over the United States.
Here in New York the eclipse will be
just beginning at sunset. The further
west you 60 the better chance you will
have to see it.

THE Chicago Tribune proceeds to
prod Mckinley and the Protectionists
to this effect: "Canton, o., is a man
ufacturing city of some $4,000 inhabi-
tants. Proportionately its inhabitants
are as generally engaged in highly pro-
tected industries as those of Pittsburg,
100 miles east of it. Major Mckinley
resides in Canton and inculcates the
value aid necessity of high protection
to the prosperity of his beloved city,
and the gallant Major is socially popu-
lar there. But this highly protected
city, enjoying the force of his eloquent
arguments, voted Tuesday for Cleve-
land and free trade by 500 majority
How can that be explained? Every
industry enjoys protection of so to
100 per cent. tariff duties and the
place is prosperous. And yet its voters
deliberately gave such majority for
free trade as to carry the county for
the same and to elect the whole Dem
ocratic free trade county ticket in spite
of the protection majorities given by
the unprotected farmers of the county.
Such results constitute political para
doxes."

Land Decisions.

W d. Harlan, land ami mining at
torncy, Washington, DC, has fur
nished us the following synopsis OF de-
cisions of Land Departments:
In case Of Nina Linderkin, decided
by Secretary Villas, June 9, 1888, it
was held that an erroneous description
of the land in the final affidavit of the
pre-emptor and the testimony of the
witness will not render new proof ne
cessary when published notice prop
erly described the land and it appears
that the proof submitted was for the
tract occupied by the pre-emptor. In
absence of an adverse claim, an entry
may be referred to the board of equita-
BILE adjudication where the final proof
through no fault of the claimant was
not submitted on the day advertised.

ASTRONOMICAL PHOTOGRAPHY.

ASTRONOMICAL PHOTOGRAPHY.
"One reason why this eclipse pos
sesses special interest is that since the
last previous total eclipse that could
be observed to advantage. very great,
and indeed astonishing, progress has
been made in the art of astronomical
photography. There is no greater
mystery in the visible universe, per-
haps, than the coronal streamers which
have already described as appearing
around the sun when it is totally
eclipsed. OF course these strange phe-
nomena are there all the time. but ow-
ing to the effect of the glare of sun
light in the earth's atmosphere they
are invisible to us except during the
very few minutes that the blazing face
of the sun remains hidden by the
opaque body of the moon. They were
first generally recognized as belonging
to the sun in 1868, and since then, on
every possible occasion, astronomers
have spared no pains or expense to
study them; going with cumbersome
loads OF instruments to every part of
the world for that purpose. On this
occasion astronomical photography
will be applied with perhaps better
hopes of success than ever before.
Not oaly will the corona he photo
graphed as a whole, so as to retain ac.
curate representations of its actual
form for comparison with future eclip-
ses, but many careful photographs will
be made of the spectrum of the corona.
You of course understand that the pur-
pose of this is to arrive at knowledge
of the composition of the corona-what
it consists Of. There is mystery about
the composition of these banners of the
sun that has never yet been solved.
Some have regarded them as consist
ing Of gaseous matter surrounding. the
sun, and being perhaps the product OF
election from it. Others have thought
that they might be vast swarnss of me-
teors crowding thick about the sun
ana shining in its light, or perhaps
something that might be likened To
COLOSSAL dust clouds surrounding that
''emendous solar engine to whose un-
ceas'ng activity we owe the light and
neat and vivifc forces that make the

How the President Takes IL.

"As usual the President is the most self con

philosophically. and vas smi,ing aad agreea-

OF course he is disappointed, deeply disap
pointed, but he has lots OF self control. Re-
publican cannon were being fired this morn.

ratified with the vibration Of the explosion,
but he retained calm exterior. The Pres
dent and Mrp. Cleveland remained at the
White House last night, and before they
went to bed he news was Of srcb charac-
ter as to deprive them of hope Just before
II o'clock Mrs Ceveend drove out to Oak
View. The President remained 10 and re
ceived several callers. He held hs usual
reception in the east room. He was agreee-
BILE to about sixty people there. Col. La
mont was not especially disposed 10 specu
late on the cause of the result Money he
mentioned as one thing. He was surprised
at Kings county. He declared that Gov
Hill had done all he could for the ticket,
and that The votes he got that Cleveland did
not were from the republican liquor inter
est5, and not to be controlled by any
one. He did not think that the result in
the city pointed to much trading. Colonel
Lamont did not permit his disappointment
to show on his face. He would not give out
any of the confident dispatches received
