ECLIPSE OF THE sun
A STRIP OF TOTAL DARKNESS
HALF WAY AROUND THE
WORLD AUG. 80.
Path Begins at Sunrise in Hudson's
Bay and Ends With Sunset in South
eastern Arabia Duration of the
Eclipse About Eve Minutes.

Inc total eclipse of the sun. which
is scheduled to occur on August 80
Will be observed by astronomers with
much interest for observation then
taken may help to solve some ques.
lions about which there has been much
speculation. The shadowy path of the
ecnpse will make the necessary scien.
titic work of observation comparative
ly easy.
The path begins at sunrise south OF
Hudson's bay enters the Atlantic
ocean short distance north of New.
1oundland. crosses northwestern Spain
northeastern Algiers, and northeastern
Iunls, passes centrally over Assuan
on the Nile and ends at sunset in
southeastern Arabia The durations
on the coast of Labrador in Spain and
at Assuan are two and a half, three
and three-fourth and two and three
fifths minutes, respectively.
In connection with this. eclipse Prof
W. W.. Campbell director of the Lick
observatory has published an inter
estlng paper on the facts already as
certained regarding the sun during
previous observations. To the modern
astronomer our sun is only one of the
ordinary stars, says Professor Camp
bell, but it is the only star near enough
to show disk. All other stars are
as mathematical points, even when
the greatest telescope magnifles them
5000 fold.
The eclipse of August 80 will occur
when the earth is seven degrees from
the plane of the solar equator. 1t is
to be hoped observing parties well
equipped for the intramercurial search
will be located at Labrador, Spain, Tu
mis- and Egypt. If clear weather pre-
walls at any of the four stations valu.
able results may be secured Should
new planet be observed at three
such stations the neormous interest
heightened by the fact that its approx
innate orbit could be determined al
once. If no planets are revealed the
negative result would be scarcely less
valuable than positive results and the
intramercurial question would cease
to be pressing eclipse problem.
