The total eclipse of the sun, to take
place on December %, viii be invisible
in the United States, except at Capes
Sable and Hatteras, where it will end
at sunrise. Congress, however, has ap-
pTopriated $4,000 to defray the expenses
of an American observing party, who
will proceed to Africa before long, and
are busily preparing for the trip. We
print a portrait of the eminent man who
will be at the head of the expedition.
David Peck Todd of Amherst, is the
son of Serene Edwards Todd and was
born at Lake Ridge, n. Y, March
10, 1855. He studied at Columbia col
Iege, New York, and Amherst college,
swhere he was graduated in 1875. In
August of that year he was appointed as
sistant to the United States transit of
Venus commission, and spent three
years at WORK in reducing the observa-
tions of the transit expedition of 1874.
In 1875 he was elected a mem
Der of the Washington philO
sophcal society of the American assO-
citation for the advancement of science
in 1877, and fellow of the same in 1881.
He is Il member of several foreign learned
societies. In 1873 Professor Todd was
sent by the United States government to
Dallas, Tex. to observe the SOLAR. eclipse
of July %, and on his returni in 1879 was
appointed assistant and computer in the
Office OF the American Bphem-
eris and Nautical AlQanac. In
1881 he was called to Amherst college,
and accepted prof6ssorship in astron-
epy. TIE following yPar he was ,ap-
pointed Teacher of astronomy and mathe-
MATES in Smith college, Northampton,
Mass. In the autumn of 1882 Professor
Todd proceeded to Mount Hamilton, in
California, where he saw the transit of
Venus. He was in charge of the expe-
dition sent from the United States to ia
pan, to observe the eclipse of the sun in
1897
