Cape st. Louis, Labrador. Aug. 80.
Successful observations OF the
eclipse of the sun were made this
morning by the scientists of the vari-
Gus expeditions sent to Labrador for
this occasion. Although detailed re-
ports are still lacking it is safe to say
that highly valuable material. includ-
| ing ocular observations of the various
phases of the total eclipse, photo
graphs and spectographs of the corona
and others, has been collected by the
scientists scattered over a limited area
Of tho eastern coast of Labrador.
The most important astronomical
"N:enit'' stationed in this region tor
the purpose of observing the eclipse
IS that sent out blythe Lick Observ-
atory of California. 1t was headed by
DR.. Heber Curtis and Prof. Joel Steb-
bins, who were assisted by a large
force of competent and experienced
scientists. The expedition had estab-
lished It's station at Cartwright. a
Hudson Bay Company's post i'm Sand
wich bay Labrador. about $50 miles
north of Belle Isle straits. So far as
1t is possible to judge the atmospheric
conditions were favorable at that sta
ton, but the positive results of the OBJ
servations will not be definitely known
for some time. as no effort will be
made to develop the plates while the
expedition is in camp.
One of the most important tasks
which this expedition had undertaken.
was the rediscovery of the intramer-
curial plant Vulcan, the existence Of
which is still doubted by many astron-
omers. In the early part of the sew
enties. lie Verrier, a French astrono-
mer, expressed the opinion that there
must be a planet between Mercury and
the sun, as that was the only satifac-
tory explanation of certain peculiari-
ties in the movements of the planet
Mercury. At first his theory found
few adherents. During the eclipse OF (
1873 two American observers. Prof. |
Watson of Ann ArbOr. in Colorado, |
and DIR. Swift of Rochester. in wyo-
ming. observed what they believed to
by several small intramercurial plan
cts, but their claims were discredited |
by astronomers in general Since then
careful search for the planet which
was named Vulcan, was made by as
tronomers in all parts of the world,
but so far, without success.
There are about 10 or l2 expedi-
tions from the United States and Can
dud Sldbplltu dlullS llt CpdSl VI l>du-
rador One of them is In charge of
the scientists from the United States
naavl observatory in Washington. an
other is composed of several profess
sional astronomers and amateur OBJ
from Hartford, Conn. An
other party, headed by w. F. King,
chief astronomer of the Canadian gov
ernment.
The approach of the observation
presented a wonderful and imposing
spectacle. From high elevation the
shadow of the moon could be seen
rushing over the surface of the earth
like an enormous thunder cloud with
a terrific velocity, approaching $500
miles an hour The complete obscur-
alton lasted about three minutes and
so seconds.

NEUTRALITY HAS
BLEN VIOLATED
London Papers Discuss Ques-
ton in Strong Pro-Japan-
ese Tone
RlIESTVEHSRY OFF HONG KONG

London. April 18.-In the absence oi
farther information regarding the posi-
ton Of the Russian and japanese fleets
the London morning papers are keenly
discussing the neutrality question, for
the most part in a strong pro-Japanese
tone. The Morning Post takes the
milder view that Kamranh Bay is a
mere fishing port and unable to pro-
vide coal or other supplies to the Rus
sian squadron, which probably took
shelter there to replenish from its own
colliers, and that though a technical
breach of neutrality has been COM
mitted, the French authorities could
hardly be held responsible unless it
can be proved that they had previous
knowledge Of Rojestvensky's inten-
tons.
The Daily Nails correspondent at
Singapore gives a further report from
the North German Lloyd steamer Prin8
Heinrich that on Friday, April IA, the
Russian cruisers Dmitri Donskoi and
Rion were scouting outside the bay
while a tug was bringing colliers along
side of warships, which were coaling,
and that many boats were transferring
provisions to Russian vessels.
The correspondent at Hongkong Of
the Daily Mail reports that the steamer
North Anglia late Friday night sighted
a strong fleet of cruisers off Bombay
Reef steering south and using search
lights. The North Anglia was unablo
to distinguish the nationality Of the
cruisers.

Manchaug, Mass, April 1S.-An In

here has become Protestant. and its
pastor. Rev. A. r. Ribourg and his AZ
parishioners have been formally re
ceived into the Baptist denomination.
The AZ members were formerly com
municants Of the regular Roman Cath

from the parent church two or three
years ago because Of differences with
the pastor.
The dissenters built an Independent
church and made their pastor Rev.
Father Ribourg, who once belonged to
the Roman Catholic church in France.
Recently the little parish accepted
Protestant principles, largely through

siOnaries.

VACATION HIS THEME.
Rev. DR.. Van Schaick breaches Upon
Necessity for Recreation.

Rev. John Van Schaick of the Church Of
Our Father preached yesterday upon the
subject of vacation. He took his text
from the sixth chapter, thirty-flrst verse
of st. Mark, "Come We yourselves apart
into a desert place and rest awhile"
During his remarks he dwelt upon the
instances in the Bible where Christ coun-
seled rest. and said while we saw the
necessity for work we were prone to
forget the necessity of rest. Today men
and women are rushing wildly at the prob
lens of life who might, with profit, hear
His voice of the long ago counseling rest.
The vacation that meant merely stagna-
ton was useless. Time is frittered and
nothing Is accomplished. For those who
are worn in mind and body rest should
be the greatest element. For those who
were strong in mind and body new scenes
and new people were needed. Concluding
he said:
mo absolute rule can be laid down:
but for all, at one stage of the game,
what we need Is the log cabin. retirement
Hike that of John the Baptist, the diet
near US but trees, running waters, sun
shine, air and sky. What we need at
another stage Of the game u.s. perhaps,
new people. new surroundings. Even stay
here at home by yourselves and get the
rest. And IL. above all. God is with you,
you will see new heaven and a new
earth; Niagara will be more majestic,
Europe will be more historic the noun
tains and ocean more beautiful and true.
for you will know that the earth is the
Lords and the fullness, thereof"
