Prof Eastman in 1869 took part In the obscr-
yatiouS Of The total eclipse In Iowa. In 1870 At
s. ra,use. Sicily, aud IN 1881 in Colorado, and in
1887 he observed the transit of Venus n Cedar
keys.
Prof + b littell gave ont the following state
ment.
i believe tha' me observations were c"fr"u
out successfully anu 'hat we nave twenty SUI

garding tho chemical constitution a. well as the

The following statement was made by Prof
G. 4 Hin
The eclipse was exceptionally satisfactory

tory 4 large prominence was seen on the
northwest limb OF the sun Everything. passed

possibly have secured more photographs be
ll"V" TN OBSERVATIONS mere to-uhy VIII give n
more accurate knowledge Of the corona that

ures We hope to discover with certainty whether
the hight is mechanical, physical or electrical
Having procured ,h- exact latitude and long,
