TO OBSERVE ECLIPSE
ARRANGEMENTS COMPLETED AT
LOCAL NAVAL OBSERVATORY.

Rear Admiral Chester, superintendent of
the naval observatory, has completed ar
rangements for the observation of the total
solar eclipse of August $3.50 of this year,
an event of the greatest Importance to as
tronomers, and the details of his plans have
just been made public. Congress appro-
priated 5000 for this purpose, and the
naval party will be sent out on the u. S. S.
Minneapolis to establish three separate sta
tons, namely: One near the central line
of the eclipse, possibly on one of the islands
of the Columbretes group, off the east
coast of Spain; one ten or fifteen miles
within the edge of the shadow path prob
ably near Valencia. Spain. and one on the
central lire, close to the railroad from
Tunis TO Algiers, in Africa. Exact loca-
lions cannot be finally settled until local
conditions are personally examined, and
for that purpose the expeditionary force will
consist of Rear Admiral c. H. Chester, U.
S, N. in charge; Captain ]. A. Morris. Lieu
tenant E. E. Hayden, Prof w. S. Eichel-
berger, Prof. F. B. Littell, Photographer
George II. Peters, Computer E. l. Vowel,
Computer w. w. Dinwiddie, Prof F. II.
Bgelow of the United States weather bu-
reau, Prof. Stanislau Hauzlik, assistant to
Prof Bigelow; Mr.. l.. E. Jewell of Johns
Hopkins University, DR.. S. A. Mitchell of
Columbia University and DIR. N. Z. Gilbert
of Dartmouth College.
In this eclipse the moon shadow strikes
the earth at sunrise near the south end of
Lake Winnipeg, Manitoba sweeps east
ward through the British possessions over
Labrador and enters the Atlantic ocean
100 miles north of the east entrance of
Belle Isle strait. After leaving the Ameri-
can coast no land is met by the shadow
until it reaches the north coast of Spain,
where the middle of the shadow crosses
|. the coast line 100 miles west of Santander
and sweeps enthusiastically across Spain,
leaving Madrid about forty miles and Va
lencia about two miles distant from the
southern edge outside of the shadow.
Crossing the Mediterranean the Shadow
strikes Africa midway between Algiers and
Tunis, across the dessert into Egypt, leay-
ing the earth in central Arabia. Points to
be especially observed by astronomers are
the relative position of the sun and moon
at eclipse, the search for intra-mercurial
planets, the corona, spectrum work, photo
metry, shadow bends and of secondary i'm
portance are polariscopc work and meteor
ology Besides this American naval expe-
dition Canada expects to locate observers
in Labrador, the Indiana State University
will send a body to Spain, the German gov
eminent will locate on the Columbretes
Islands and English parties will locate on
Majorca and on the mainland of Spain.
Lick observatory will send parties to Lab
rador, Spain and Egypt, and Russia will
send out two parties.

The regulations for shaving. observed

down from Roman times, and the his
tory of the custom among that people
Is curious one. l'liny says that
boards were universally cultivated us
matter Of course till about 800 II. c..
when Sicilan BARRIERS. who probably
acquired their art from Greece. first
came to Rome and Scipio Africunus
set the fashion of shaving every day.
Thcnceforwnri II became so much the
vogue in good society that the term
parbaus, Outlandish, was long supposed
To mean bearded. in allusion to the I'M
kempt hnir OF unclviliZed nations. In
creased accuracy In ctymolugy has
shown the real meaning to be akin to
balbus, stummcrlng, in allusiun 10 their
uncoutll speech. For three centuries
BARRIERS Ind it all their own way in
Roman circles. Then came the En-
pcror 1Iatrian. who, as Plutarch ar
firms, grew his beard to hide some
ugly sears, and forthwith IT became the
mode. Lawyers and priests. even more
conservative in their obscrvanccs than
other folks, continued TO shave: hence.
