1t will not be until 1913 that the people
of the United States have the opportu-
nifty of observing another total eclipse.
1t has been eleven years since similar
event was witnessed, but the advance
ment of astronomical science and the
marvellous improvements in telescopes,
photograph and electrical appliances in
sured more complete observations than
ever before known.
The United States Government and
all great educational institutions made
elaborate and costly preparations to get
the best possible observations and mill
ions of dollars were expended in this
way. Astronomical parties were estab-
lished at Pinehurst, n. c., Barnesville,
Ga, and Tripoli, North Africa. In addi-
ton to these the War and Navy Depart
ments sent out parties, while the leading
universities and colleges of the country
had astronomers on the ground. The
Mexican governments had observations
made at the National University in the
City of Mexico. European astronomers
chose the Siberian peninsula and the
northernmost coast of Africa as the
places for taking the best observations.
The British Government expedition, I'M
der the direction of Sir Norman Lockyer
of the Royal Observatory, was stationed
at Alicante; the Dublin University party,
which numbered some of the foremost
British astronomers, viewed the eclipse
from point near the Spanish post of
Plazenia; the Portuguese Government
granted special facilities to foreign as
tronomers desiring to view the eclipse
from points in that country, all the re-
sources of the Royal Observatory at Lis
bon being placed at their disposal.
Interest in Study of Corona.
While great interest attached to the
eclipse itself, the object of the astron-
omers composing the eclipse expedi-
TONS from all parts of the country was
not alone to observe the passing Of the
moon before the sun, but the study of
the corona. This particular branch of
the many phenomena generally attending
an eclipse has always been an unsolva-
bic problem. 1t is the belief of many as

CLERK JONES, FEES.
Attorney General Gives Opinion Re-
garding Fees Supreme Court Clerk.

Des Moines, June 3o.-Attorney Gen
eral Remley has rendered an opinion to
State Treasurer Herriott in regard to
the controversy between Herriott and
Christopher I. Jones, clerk of the su-
preme court. Mr.. Remley refused to
answer the categorical questions first
put to him by Herriott because they
did not apply to any actual existing
facts. But he has answered the inqui-
ry when directly put. He is of the
opinion that the clerk is the only per-
son authorized to o'copy supreme court
opinions and that in making these cop
les he does so in his official capacity as
clerk and not as an individual, so that
the fees received for copying the opin-
ions must be turned over to the state.
AT the same time he holds that Mr..
Jones should be compensated for the
expense of having the work done. I'm
der this ruling it is believed Mr.. Jones
will be asked to turn in about So 900.
He has not determined what to do in
the matter, as the opinion has not been
made public or submitted to him.

Archbi.hop Keane,. Depnr,,,..

Sioux City,June 3o.-What is thought
to be the first news for publication of
Archbishop John j. Keane's departure
for Rome has lust been given out here.
1t seems the Archbishop stole quietly
away last week on an Atlantic steam
ship which sailed from New York. The
news of his going was received here in
a letter from Very Rev, DR.. Thomas
Bouquillon, professor of moral theolo-
gy at the Catholic University in Wash
ington, ID. c. The archbishop's trip to
Rome is taken as confirmation of the
recent report that he had been named
for the archbishopic of the vacant see
at Dubuque.
