feveri-h haste, as he puts II. to develop photo
graphic plates taken Of the sun during the
eclipse period The cameras used vcro very
lnrgc and mndr for the purpose. one bcirg OF
original constructions. Ia a statement this
evening Prof Scryis3 said:
There were one or two things very difficult
"a explain and they vii! require careful COM
parisOn OF all observations taken While the
moon was moving over the sun before the
total observation was reached | observed there
was n certain lighting Of the air; after II had
become percpptible the darkness came. and
then II was repeated
"This was 50 surprising that I would have re-
jected it "a an illusion. but afterward Prof
Sigh Of Newberry College and others who took
observations a mile AWAY, stated they had
observed similar Instructions in the light. 1t
was IA If light clouds had passed over the sun,
yet, there were no clouds whatever. II is too
soon TO say what the cause Of this phenomena
was.
One Of the obser vations made indicates that
the telescope and Photographic focus for The
corona Is not the same as for the sun itself,
The instrument. which was in focus for the
sun. did not show for tho corona at all. II was
not unit, the eye piece had been removed that
the corona cane into view with the new focus.
This is another c3riouS phenomenon.
zone explanation Of it Is Vat The corona il
nearer to the earth thnn The sun is But this il
one Of the things hat must be explained later.
No attempt was made by our arty 20 look for
an extra. slerchrial planet, and nothing Of that
kind was seen.
The corona was a very beautiful and extern
