age of the sun. Professor Schaeberle
has been led by his observations to the
theory that corona is probably due to
light reflected from streams of matter
elected from the sun. Another theory
advanced by Professor Bigelow is that
the coronal matter consists of material
driven away from the sun by electrical
repulsion. That this matter, whatever
it is, is partly self-lum inous and shines
party by reflected light has been shown
by the polariscope, while tine spectro-
scope has shown that it is partly gase-
Gus. The green '''coronal line,o first
seen by Professor Young, has been
found to be double, and has lately been
identified with line in the spectrum
of the newly discovered gas argon.
Another matter to which careful at
tention will be directed is what has
been called by Professor Young the
reversing layer" Young holds that
the gases and mental vapors that en-
velop the sun and give rise to the dark
Fraunhofer lines which crossing the
SUMS spectrum are all situated at low
level in the SUMS atmosphere, forming
the lower stratum of the "chromos-
phere"--the gaseous she'll which incloses
the sun, and which becomes visible at
the time of a total eclipse as rose
colored ring, surrounding the dark
moon and out of which rise the solar
prominenees. LockYer holds, in opp
sition to Young, that there is evidence
that these gases lie at various levels,
and that there is no single layer OF the
suns atmosphere, which is entitled to
be specially distinguished as a ire
versing layer" The the matter can be
settled by spectrum photographs TAX
en- at precisely the right instant-the
instant of the "fash." when the last
slender thread of the SUMS light disap-
pears, and suddenly the dark lines in
the spectrum are replaced by bright
lines. The main object Of Lockyer's
expedition is to take the photographs
necessary for deciding this point, and
for this purpose prismatic cameras OF
six and nine inches aperture will be
employed. The point is an important
one in its bearing on Lockyer's theory
that in the intensely hot atmosphere OF
the sun many of the chemical elements,
for instance, from, are ''dissociateo,"
or reduced to simpler forms.
One of the instruments which have
BEEN provided by the British Astrono-
mical Association for attacking this
eclipse, and one which is new in the
equipment of an eclipse expedition, is
kinematograph. The instrument is
described as pemerful one, which will
take five7ar six photographs a second.
Should this iEstrument give successful
results, the most complete series OF
photographs ever procuredin an eclipse
will be obtained, and should throw in
valuable light on the question of stabi-
ity of change in the corona.

if any, foreign sugars it comes in COM
petition with, and what effect if any,
the importation of Hawaiian sugars
has or could have upon the best sugar
production of the United States, is ex-
pected to knock out one of the argu-
ments which have been used by the
sugar trust lobby to make certain Sena-
tors, whose states are large and increas-
ing producers of sugar beets, doubtful
of the policy of annexation, by show
ing that no injury to the best sugar
interests of this country will, or possi-
bly, can follow the annexation of
Hawaii. 1t is not surprising that
Senators should haye been temporarily
caught by the specious arguments of
the agents Of the sugar trust against
annexation, because of the injury it
might do the sugar beet indu try in
this country. Secretary Wilson was
himself once doubtful on the subject
because he believed annexation might
injure the American beet growers, but
investigation convinced him that it
would not, and his facts on the subject
will convince the Senators who have
doubts. There are hourly contradicta-
tory stories around Washington as to
the attitude of Senators towards the
annexation treaty but Senator Davis,
who is in charge of the treaty, is still
confident that it will be ratified with
votes to spare.

The reports brought to Washington

the claims of the silver Democrats as
to the increase of silver sentiment. On
the contrary, they show a heavy de-
crease in silver sentiment. For in.
stance, Ex-senator Moody, of South
Dakota, says Of his State: "Though
Bryan carried the State in 1896, by a
slender majority, he will never be able
to do SO again. A good wheat crop and
great gold productions have knocked
Bryanism outin South Dakota, which
is now third in output of the yellow
metal, and its resources In this line are
