Pinehurst. \. c.. May 16-This situa-
tion in the pine barrens of North Caro-

eclinse stations for the United state
Naval observatory. II is a town consist

his local manager. Mr.. Benbow several
cottages have been kept open after the
closing Of the regular winter season $50
as 10 accommodate the eclipse observer
With the exception of these the town ia
practically deserted.
The situation in every respect is an
ideal one for The purpose in the minds OF
then WY arrived party. The climate
seems 10 be all that is desired. there
are no woods CT buildings to obscure
the view of the sun and there are no
curious persons TO hinder the work or
to get in the way on the eventful morn
ing.
The ~ocation was selected by Profess
sor skinner. Of the Naval Observatory.
Under his able direction the erection or
the necessary buildings has already pro-
ceeded rapidly, and nearly all the purely
astronomical instruments are in place
and are being adjusted.
This is but one Of three stations for
the observation of the eclipse which have
been arranged for by Professor Brown,
astronomical director Of the Naval Oh
servatory. The other two are at Barnes
Vile and Griffin. Ga. 1t each Of these
placeS there is q CORPS of astronomers
from Washington, together with many
other scientists skilled in what is called
astro-physica work. 1t is these last who
are now engaged in mounting grating
and SpectrOScopes for the purpose of OBJ
serving, on the day of the eclipse, the
spectrum of the light which will come TO
the earth past the disk of the moon
from the atmosphere Of glowing Vapors
surrounding the sun itself.
In this connections two things are Of in
terest to Baltimoreans. One is that all
the gratings used in observing the eclipse.
bith in this country and abroad, were
ruled in the physical laboratory of the
Johns Hopkins University, under the al
rectiCn Of Professor Rowland. The 9TH
er is that Professor Brown recently said
in an interview published in New York
that the men whom he found it necessary
to select to assist in the spectroscopic
work at the Naval Observatory stations
were all Johns Hopkins men.
A number of the Baltimore observers
have arrived. They are: Prof. Joseph S.
Ames, Or. y. T. Dorsey. Mr.. L.. +. Jewell
DR.. l.. S. MITCHELL. Mr.. NJ. y. Parsons and
Mr.. n. E. Gilbert. They found part Of
their apparatus here, and at once pro-
ceeded to get it in place fer the work
on May 28th, the date of the eclipse.

The sale of season tickets for the
MAJ Music Festival has been going
on all the week at the Auditorium
box-otfice with satisfactory results
to the management. 1t Will continue
until May 3, when the sale OF season
tickets will cease and that OF single

vantage of choice of location, and
as the cost for the whole season is
only what single seats would cost
for the three evening concerts, there
is much economy IN buying the
season tickets. They cost but 81

any one he chooses. The possession
of a season ticket gives him free adj
