A SEARCH FOR VULCAN

Everybody in Washington able to be out
doors look out of window rubbernecked
this morning. and countless eyes followed
the course of the moon as it steadily inter-
posed its mass between the orb of day and
this planet, and temporarily changed day
light into twilight. And smoked glass was
universal as rubbernecking. Many of the
mere fastilious of observers had obtained
prepared glass with approved holder and
daintily orEamented edges. but the great
majority was content with any old piece Of
window pare held over a candle or wisp of
burning paper and given covering of SCOT
sufficient to protect the eyes of the gazers
from the brilliant CLEANS of the eye of
heaven or that part of it not in mourning.
The latter-which was destined to this
fate-temporarily rose as usual and the sky
was cloudlcss, so early rsers were sure the
eclipse would be successfully viewed from
start to finish. Napory haZes began to creep

CONDENSED LOCALS.

Fire in the house Of Samuel +. Hardy,
No. 501 9th street southeast, about $50
o'clock Saturday afternoon caused damage
to the extent Of 500. Citizens extinguished
the flames before the arrival Of the fire
department Most of the damage was done
to clothing.
Joseph ]. Dee, marine, twenty-four
years old, ran into City and Suburban
car while riding his bicycle at North Cap
itol and H streets about o'clock Satur-
day afternoon and received painful in
Jury on his forehead. He was attended by
a physician and was afterward removed to
the barracks.
An elderly man named Henry Thomas
was found near 18th and M streets south
east about 4:45 o'clock this morning suffer-
ing from a fit. The police patrol wagon

.yiolet.sa The EIost important observation
peiSiaps undertaken by the observatory ex-
petitions is that of the concave grating and
the grating objective in charge of the asso-
ciate members of the expedition from Johns
Hopkins physical laboratory. These graf
ings are the most powerful Instruments Ct
the kind ever used before in eclipse work
and represent in their construction and
mounting distinct advance over any other
work of this character ever before under
taken.
THE observatory was fortunate in secur-
ing OPPORTUNITY gratings having the pecu-
liar character Of concentrating all the
light Of the various order of epectra in the
first spectrum, thus giving out a brilliancy
which exceeds that of any possible combi-
nation of prsms. The mounting of these
gratings for the special work of the eclipse
is due to the ingenuity of Mr.. Jewell, whose
experience and skill In this matter are well
known throughout the astronomical world.
Two other Expeditions.
1.-The two other expeditions from the OBJ
servatory are in Georgia One is near the
central line of the totally belt. at Barnes
VILE the other near the northern limit of
totality. at Griffin. The GAINESVILLE station
is in the immediate charge Of Prof Milton
Updegraff. assisted by the following men,
bers of the observatory staff: DR.. T. ]. j..
See, Mr. G. A. Hill. Mr.. F. H. Littell, Mr..
G. II. Peters and Mr. NJ A. Coulon. The
observatory is fortunate in having secured
at GAINESVILLE Prof. j. R. Eastman, now Of
Andover N. H. Prof. Eastman is a retired
government officer. having been formerly
astronomical director of the naval observa-
tory. He is thoroughly conversant with
every detail of the eclipse work, has vast
experience in this particular field and will
prove a valuable addition to the government
expedition at GAINESVILLE. Prof. H. c. Lord, in
charge of the only spectroscope observa-
lions at this station, will use a sitless
spectrograph designed and constructed by
himself Mr.. Theodore c. Schneider TIE
instrument maker of Johns Hopkins physi-
cal laboratory. and Mr.. c. A. Post of New
York city are associated members of the
expedition.
1.-The work at the Griffin station is very
much of the same character as that at
Pinehurst, and consists of observations
with powerful gratings. which, like those
of other stations, are the products of the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1900-05-28

vatory, and includes. besides five members
Of the observatory staff. a number Of dis
tinguished specialists from various scion
tific institutions of the country. The naval
observers include Professor Eichelberger,
Mr.. King, Mr.. Lawton and Mr.. Cleve. Pro-
fessor Ames of the Johns Hopkins Univer-
sity at Baltimore is in general charge of
the SpectroscOpic observations, assisted by
Drs. Dorsey. Huff. Reese. Gilbert and Par
sens. Professor F. Wood of the State Uni
versity of Wisconsin. another graduate OF
Johns Hopkins physical laboratory, will
also take part in the eclipse work at that
station with an instrument Of his own in
. vention, the strOboscope, for the measure
ment of the velocity and general features
of the shadow bands which precede and fol-
low totality. Former eclipse work has left
the nature of these phenomena in very
uncertain condition, which. 1t is hoped. the
observations Of Professor Wood will go
far toward relieving.
Drawings of the Corona.
1.-The principal work Of the observing
party at Pinehurst. N. c., will be visual
drawings of the corona, both with the
naked eye and with the telescope, the lat
ter for sketching in the finer details Of the
inner corona. The Photographic work will
be carried out with instruments of various
sizes, including the 4O-foot photo-heliograph
lens. giving an image of the sun four and
one-half inches in diameter. Two excellent
specimens Of Dallmeyer lenses. six inches
in diameter and forty feet in focal length.
and Voigteander lens with four inches
aperture and eight inches focal length. will
be used. One of the Dallmeyer pair is
provided with color screen. the absorbent
material of which is furnished by form
ula derived by Mr.. Jewell of the Johns
Hopkins University physical laboratory
from experiments extending over several
years with the Johns Hopkins 20-foot con-
cave grating. The purpose Of the screen
is to photograph the corona with the light
furnished by the coronium line 1874 both
the red and violet ends of the spectrum be-
ing completely absorbed by copper solu-
ton with which the color screen is filled.
.Dr. Chase of Yale University will make
observations with siX-inch prismat,c
camera, which gives the brilliant spectrum,
extending from the red well up into the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1900-05-28

Til uths Easily Digested.
METHOD OF CURING DYsPEP-
STA AND STOMACH TROUBLES.

Dyspepsia and indigestion considered Incur
able by many people who do not realize the ad-
vance made in modern medical science, and because
by the Old methods and remedies a cure was rarely
II obtained.
Dyspepsia is cured readily any other
disease.
What the dyspeptic wrnts is abundant nutrition
which means plenty of good, wholesome we'll
cooked food and something 10 assist the weak stom-
ach digest 1t. This is exactly the purpose for
which Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are adapted and
this is the method by which they cure the worst
of Dyspepsia. in other words the patient eats
plenty Of wholesome food and Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets digest 1t for him In this way the system
is nourished and the overworked stomach rested,
because the tablets Will digest the food whether
the stomach works or not. One OF these tablets
Will digest 5000 grains of meat or eggs.
Your druggist will tell you that Stuart's Dyspep-
sia Tablets Is remedy sold on Its merits and is
the purest. safest and cheapest remedy sold for
stomach troubles, and every trial makes one more
friend for this excellent preparation.

The Corona Described.

Along the line of totally darkness falls
sharply upon the land as the line of black
overspreads the shining surface Of the sun,
the larger planets shine out and there sud
denly appears the black moon Then
the corona of the sun shines out in beauty
in a universe of darkness. 1t is of a sort
of silvery and pearly quality, entirely I'M
like any other radiance known. The exact
nature of this phenomenon science has yet
to determine. but 1t Is known that the
corona is kind Of envelope surrounding
the sun and extending for millions of miles
around it all sides. 1t is partly made
up of an invisible gas known as coronium,
and the visible corona is the reflection OF
the suns light from countless billions OF
small particles, all revolving about the orb
in this element. When the suns full light
shines forth this reflected radiance is not
effulgence but with the darkening of the
direct rays the corona appears. 1t radiates
splendid streamers like tails of brilliant
comets all Sides some Of them. 1t is
estimated, 1900, 900 miles long. Around the
dark rim of the obScuring moon curl roseate
flames taking diverse shapes. 1t was while
this part of the eclipse was in process that
the astronomers today made the observa-
tons which they hope may bring human
knowledge some facts about the
strange corona. Very brief was the time
given to them, only one minute and forty
nine seconds at Norfolk, where the duration
of totally was longest of any point on
land
At New Orleans the eclipse began at 6:26
a m. the middle of tetality was at $50,
and the end was at SAB am. AT Norfolk
the eclipse began at 7:35. the middle of
totality was at S:4S and the eclipse ended
at 1910 Am
