PINEHURST. N. c.. May IS.-Prepara-
tons by astronomers and physicists for OBJ
serving the suns eclipse May Is are rap
idly approaching completion
Prof Brown. director of all the naval
stations. has been here two days and has
expressed himself as pleased with the
progress of the work. Daily rehearsals
will begin shortly. SO that each observer
may become perfectly acquainted with his
duties
The duration OF totality at Pinehurst will
be almost exactly one minute and a half,
and in that time each photographer in
charge Of an instrument. OF when there
ere ten, expects to expose four or five
plates So it is easily seen that no one
has any time 70 lose. Each observer and
assistant must be so trained that he can
do his work quickly. There will be no
time for delibeTation-
As one approaches Pirehurst by the rail-
road almost the first sight TO which the at
tention is called by the conductor is tie
tall tower carrying the -heliograph;
and. as one walks up from the station.
there is seen a cluster OF small temporary
buildings. constructed for the Naval OBJ
servatory party There is a small house
built al the base Of the hellograph into
wEioh the tube for the instrument enters.
This tube is about forty feet long and Is
inclined at such an angie that Il will poiu:
exactly toward the sun at the time OF the
eclipse The lower end is some feet under
ground in the house iust referred 10.
which is 50 closely built that IL is light
tight. The heat inside the place at this
time Of the year may be better imagined
than described. .-
For some Photographic operations pieces
CT ice are necessary and the icebox of the
Pinehurst station has been placed next
TO this house, so as TO temper the heat as
far as possible
There is another house. one entire side OF
which. with half the adjoining roof is
made Of canvas ard movable rafters which
can be taken away on The manning Of the
eclipse. In this house. which contains but
a single room. is a long row Of instru-
ments. all arranged along the north ana
south line There are thEes equaJoriaiIy
mounted telescopes and p .so-called polar
axis carrying four Photographic lenses. one
OF the equatorials will carry an assortment
Of polarizing apparatus 20 study the pO-
lariZatiOn Of the eclipsed suns corona. The
others viii be used for eye observations,
so that the observer mag make drawings
OF what he sees.
The polar-axis is a beam about ten feet
long which is mounted parallel to the
axis Of the earth and which can be turned
slowly around its own axis in a direction
opposite to the rotation Of the earth thus
neutralizing the rotations effect
Next 20 the house which contains these
instruments come two sheds about thirty
feet long. which cover the prismatic cam
era and the two beautiful grating spectre
scopes Of the Johns Hopkins party. Last
OF all comes a small portable house which
covers the transit instrument and contains
the apparatus of the telegraph Office, spe-
cially opened here for the assistance of the
eclipse party

a mystery. So far not a single person has

Neither Mrs. Cronin, who is now at the
Manhattan Eye and Ear Hospital, her face
disGgured for life and the sight of her left
