perior Court was declared in session to-
day Judge Van Vleet, one of Goulds at

LICK OBSERVATORY, April lS.-A cipher
telegram just received from Professor
Schaeberle in Chile informs US that the
Lick Observatory expedition to observe
the total solar eclipse has been successful
in every respect. The mechanical theory
OF the solar corona formed by Professor
Schaeberle has been verified.
drawing of the corona of April 10th
last was published by him in January
last, with prediction of what this corona
was to be like, and l understand his tele-
gram to mean that the picture made by
him months ago was true representa-
ton of the actual corona visible at the
eclipse. This is an important verification
OF the very far-reaching theory.
The expansion of solar corona was
first photographed at the California
eclipse of January l, 1889, and fully de-
scribed in the Lick Observatory report of
that eclipse. Its existence was doubted
by various European astronomers, and
the cloudy weather did not allow it to be
plainly photographed at the eclipse of
December, 1889.
Now, however, Professor Schaeberle
has telegraphed that it has been again
successfully photographed at his station
high up in the mountains.
Fifty photographs have been secured by
Professor Schaeberle and his assistants,
using three different telescopes. One of
these instruments gives an image of the
sun four inches in diameter, and the
corona covers plate 1Sx22 inches. The
whole programme was satisfactorily car
ried out.
1t is only proper to add that the ex-
penses of the Lick Observatory expedi-
ton were generously provided for by a
gift from Mrs. Senator Hearst of Califor-
mia, to whom science owes a new debt.

Keely Cure Discussed at the State
Convention.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 1S.-The Cali
fornia Medical Society began its twenty
second annual convention here to-day,
and devoted a large part of the session to
discussion of the Kelly cure. DIR. John
w. Robertson started the debate by de-
claring that the drugs employed have no
therapeutic value beyond what is known
in ordinary practice, and that alleged
cures, whether permanent or not result
from month of rest and recuperation
and from an influence suggestive of
hypnotism.
DIR. George F. Shells of San Francisco
declared the principle of hypnotism I'M
DERIVING what he termed warmly Kelly
quackery is good therapeutic method
generally.
Other physicians declared that the re-
suits of Keely methods were good, but
there was pretty general concensus of
opinion that there was no valuable secret
about the treatment, and that the remedy
had no real medicinal value. If the re-
suits were beneficial the physicians
should be the last to complain.
President Taylor denounced the whole
thing as quack institution.
