The observations of the recent solar
eclipse have not yet been reduced to their
full digest of information. but according
to Professor Thorpe, who went to Africa
and had four minutes Of totality to make
the most of, one conclusion may be drawn
as settled. The corona. or vast luminous
halo around the orb, is permanent enough
to exhibit no change in an hour and half
The photographs obtained in Brazil 80
minutes in advance of the African station
show no apparent difference of structure.
Inc corona was specially studied by the
astronomers at this eclipse, and they had
very favorable weather for the purpose at
every station.

Many generations of engineers have

the Isthmus of Corinth was commenced.
The WORK is now completed. 1t is

off navigation round Cape Matapan and
Cape Males are plain. Yet the canal has
remained TO the present era to flush. The
total length is only 600 meters, and the
