Scientific research is an expensive
luxury. 1t will cost more than $780,
600 for Amherst College astronomi-
cal observers to get two minute
glimpse Of the sun during the next
eclipse, which will occur in August,
1896. To accomplish this the yacht
Coronet Thursday left New York for
o long voyage around the Horn and
to Japan, where the eclipse will be
Visible. The results obtained from
the observations may be worth all
the expense and trouble, but persons
not directly in terested in scientific in
vestigations will find difficulty in ap-
preciating this fact.
