Photograph. of the Eclipse.

A number of the Photographic plates of
the solar eclipse taken by the scientists OF
the United States Naval Observatory have
been developed. with very satisfactory re-
suits Whether or not they will add any
thing to the stock of astronomical knowl-
edge must await a careful study of each
photograph. and at present nothing can be
learned on this point. Owing to the pre-
vailing high temperature 1t has been found
very difficult to develop the plates. and It
probably will be several days before this
work is comnleted.

A NEW PENNSYLVANIA STORY.
The Chronic LOafer, by Nelson Lloyd
Reviewed In the May Number OF
The "IlOOk Buyer"

"THE CHRONIC LOAFER is an excel
lent COMPANION for busy men in their
homes at leisure. The stories he and
his associates tell at the village store in
central Pennsylvania are all worth
reading, while the arguments they
have, the bits of philosophy expound,,
ed, many of them heirlOOms handed
down to the loafer by his father, are
shrewd, if conducive to chronic indo
lence. Mr.. Lloyd is an excellent work,
man. He makes us see the quiet OF
the hills, the allurements of the trout
streams, and the terrOrs Of q stormy
night in the dimly lighted store, yet ne
reffains as scrupu1ously a. Mr.. Howells
himself from Obtruding his own per
sonality. His characters themselves
apparently produce the effects due to
the skill. The subject matter of all
these tales Is remarkably fresh, from
the discussion on ambition between the
chronic loafer and the college man, to
the ghost story wherewith the store
keeper ascribes to the spOOk OF his fath-
er's predecessor the wetness of his SUI
gar. The care-free tramp happens
along occasionally in summertime,
after liberating the "Philadelphy' and
gives of the riches of his experience.
Pervading it all is delightful humor,
which, in the end, is the greatest at
traction of the book"
