THE SUMS TOTAL ECLIPSE
1t Will Offer an Unusual
Opportunity for Science.
THE RESULTS EXPECTED
Visible in the United States-the
Track of Totality-SkiIled observ-
ers Will Be on Hand-Locating
Stations.

In one respect the suns total
eclipse of May % next will be without
precedent. Its path instead of extend
ing over the sparsely settled regions
that intervene between Iowa and the
western coast, as in 1878, or stretch
ing over the watery expanses of the
Pacific, as in 1883, when the United
States had to send an expedition to
the Caroline Islands, 1000 miles west
of South America, or let the eclipse
go unobserved will cross the six
states of Louisiana, Mississippi, Ala
bama, Georgia, South Carolina and
North Carolina, touch Virginia and
traverse very fairly settled portion
of the republic, which is covered with
a perfect network of rail. The track
of totality begins on the Pacific ocean
just west of Mexico at sunrise, trends
due eastward over Mexico, enters the
United States very near New Orleans,
La, and extends northeastward over
Mobile and Montgomery, Ala, passes
close to Atlanta, Ca, and Columbia,
S. c., over Raleigh, N. c., and leaves
this country in the region of Norfolk,
Va, and Cape Henry. Besides the
cities named it includes thirty other
towns that are large enough to find
place on the smaller maps. After leav-
ing the United States the path of the
eclipse crosses the Atlantic ocean and
touches Europe at Coimbra, Portugal
takes in Algiers nd northern Africa
and terminates near the northern end
of the Red sea at suset. The eclipse
will last about 1 minute and u Sec
onds near New Orleans, and 1 minute
and 40 seconds near Norfolk.
The accessibility of the path of the
eclipse will render the coming event
of incalculable value to science. Prep
arations are being made by nearly all
the scientific institutions in the coun-
try to place their best instruments and
most scientific observers in the field.
The United States Government will
spend thousands of dollars establish
ing observation stations along the
path of the eclipse. AS Uncle Sans
chief star gaZer, Professor Brown, will
have charge of the governments prin-
cipal observations. He is making
preparations for the work with
knowledge born of long experience
and a natural genius in all matters
appertaining to his science. He has
been connected with the observatory
for nineteen years. He is a graduate
of the Naval Academy at Annapolis
and holds the rank of commander in
the navy.
Greater results are probable from
the observations this year." says Pro
fessor Brown. than from any taken
heretofore. During the half decade
since the last total eclipse there have
been great strides in Improvements
in the apparatus employed in the
work. Photography has been wonder
fully developed and the improvements
in photography alone may effect re-
markable discoveries during this
years eclipse. Moreover, the ease
with which the eclipse region may be
visited will increase the number of
scientific observers enormously.

Too much stress cannot be made up
on the Importance of performing all

care of an orchard in painstaking
way. II is worse than time and mon

transplant them, and then neglect
them afterwards in such manner as
TO lose them entirely. and yet this is
the result in a very large majority of
cases. 1t has been estimated that
scarcely more than 10 per cent of the
trees that are grown and sold by nurs-

which they are subjected before
reaching the bearing age. And this
