LONDON, May 29.-Sir Norman Lockyer,
director of the Solar Physics Observatory,
South Kensington, and professor OF As
Economical physics at the Royal College
Of Science, who went to Spain to observe
the eclipse, telegraphs from Santa Pola
that the weather was perfect for observa-
tion purposes.
The eclipse of 1873, which he observed
in the United States, was reproduced in
many respects. The spectrum and the
shape of the corona were the same. Both
streamers Of the corona were very beauti-
full One tapered in the directi.n Of Mer-
curry. There was 10 unknown body near
the sun. No shadow was observed. The
temperature fell degrees centigrade. The
shadow banks were carefully observed on
two rectangular planes. and were very dil-
ferent from those of 1898.
correspondent al Algiers telegraphs
that II was curious to mark, as the dark
ness approached, that the Place du Gou-
vernement, usually so thronged, became
almost deserted, while the fiat roofs of the
houses, rising terrace above terrace, were
crowded with spectators. The effect OF the
eclipse as it approached totality was in
expTessibly weird As the darkness crept
over the earth the sea lost its deep blue
color and became a spectral grey, while
the vivid green of the sub-tropicaI foliage
turned funereal purple.
Just as the sun ray faded, the Coz. ma
instantly shone forth. 1t was unusually
large and brilliant. extending as far as the
planet Mercury, which shone with an in
tense white lustre. About two degrees
from the suns disc the corona was almost
exactly the same as that of 1878. as seen
In the United States, with two great rings
one shooting almost vertically upwards and
the other downwarus. Both were almost
on the solar equator. 1t was a corona
typical Of time of sun-spot minimum.
Most Interesting observations of the shad-
CIV bands were obtained. The bands trav-
eled in the same direction both before and
after the eclipse. not, however, in con-
tlnuous lines, but in separate spots. like
the passing Of flock of birds.
Another correspondent at Tripolf says
the weather was splendid. The Lowell
University expedition, under Professor
Todd. made complete and successful OBJ
serVations with twenty telescopes and pho
tographie apparatus One telescope had
an object glass of twenty-four inches. The
corona was seen for fifty-two seconds. 1t
