The second American party of observation will take its stand a Fri

United States will be cabled to the African party for its guidance, arrange
mcnts for leaving open a direct line of telegraph and cable lines along the
path Of the eclipse and a cipher code for rapid transmission having been
made in advance.
While the total eclipse will be visible only in places within a certain
area and for not longer than two minutes at any M of them, a partial
eclipse may be witnessed in Washington, Boston, Chicago, Cincinnati ST
Louis, New York and other cities.
Although the preparations for this observation OF a phenomenon asst
ing at the longest not more than a few minutes has entaled months d
hard work and a voyage half around the world, not TO speak OF the suhse-
quent calculations and Celebrations necessary TO a complete presentation
of the subject, yet if the day be clear III astronomers viii consider them

vain they will console themselves with the reflection that another and
more complete eclipse is scheduled to appear next year which. In the island
of Sumatra, will be total during a space of six long minutes, thus afford

AS not more than two eclpses can possibly occur in . year and t5

exceedingly alert and make the most of their opportunity when It arrives.

There will be hundreds of telescopes trained upon the sun on May Is.

The path of the eclipse takes ar cratic course across a portion of the

The immeasurable advance that science has mad in recent cntures
cannon be better exemphfed than in the prediction and calculation Of
eclipses, particularly of the sun, one of which is to occur on the 2Sh Of
May. In ancient times, when science wa young and struggling through
the clouds of ignorance, an eclipse was viewed az a manifestation of the
wrath Of Deity, and among primitive peoples even at the present time its
advent is the signal for a outburst of wild excitement. Within 20 years
the Hindoos, for example, abandoned themselves to the belief that some
great dragon was devouring the god of day, Frustrated themselves o n the
ground in the attitude of prayer and beat tomtoms to brighten the mon
ster away. When at last the sun emerged from its temporary concealment,
their joy was xuberant, and thy really believed that the horrible din they
raised had driven the dragon away.
One Of the choice traditions of the Chinese is that the earliest eclipse
recorded was observed by their astronomers in the year 212s B. c. But
their two great scientists, Hi and Ho, who were to observe it and prepare
the people for it's coming, neglected their duties and got drunk, losing
their heads and their pigtans in consequence. In the last century the his
torians made much of the famous yellow day" when the, u "a OBJ
scured for a long time, birds and fowls went to roost, flowers closed their
petals and the chill of night came prematurely on.
All these phenomena have sorely disturbed the serenity of jewellers o

mystery has enveloped the doings of Old SOL 1t is no disparagement Of
