Prof. Milton Updegraff. director of the

tirely satisfied with the days work.
The first contact was noted on the COM
puted time.
As the phase of complete totality APP
PREACHED every man was in his place,
and nothing could be heard in the observa-
tory but the measured beats of the chro-
nometers through the electric sounder At
the expected minute the corona flashed out
in double fan-like form of great beauty.
Several solar prominences were distinct
ly observed on both the following and ad-
vancing limb. Those on the approaching
limb, however, were more distinct and
continuous The corona extended about
half a degree from the suns limb in the
direction of the eclipse, with streamers
plainly visible. The darkness was not
great, nor were the streamers as distinct
as hoped for.
Perfect Conditions at ThOmaston.
THOMASTON. Ga. May 2s.-The eclipse
observations here were conducted under
perfect conditions the totality being a
scant eighty-fve seconds. Not cloud was
visible anywhere near the corona, but to
the west a number Of flecks were dis
cerned Standing some distance off from
the corona's outside rim brilliant star
was distinctly visible.
The effect at the time of complete OBJ
scuration was that of a deep twilight.

HOPE FOR INTERVENTION

NEW YORK May 2s--A special to the

Intervention by the United States in the
South African war Is still hoped for by
the Boer commissioners. and they base
their continuing faith on the possible de-

from friends In the West have convinced
the delegates that the United States would
not actively aid the British government in
