FOR THIS YEARS ECLIPSE.
Elaborate Preparations Being Made
In Various Quarters for Its
Observation.

Many w-eil-eluipped expeditions will
leave this country and Europe / view
the big astronomical event OF the year
1905 from the most advantageous
points. This event will be a total
eclipse of the sun. which will occur
August 30. William H. Crocker, of CAL
~iiornia, has oHcred to deiray the cost
Of sending expeditions from the Lick
observatory, California, to Labrador,
Spain ard Egypt. The naval observa-
tory OF Washington will probably send
three expeditions, one OF which may
be located near Burgos. Spain. Photo
graphs of the coroaa by means Of a
camera Of five inches aperture and 40
feet focus will be made by the C?ocker
parties.
Miss Mary Proctor, the famous
woman astronomer. writes as follows:
IAN expedition composed largely o.
amateurs will go 10 Burgos. Spain,
which is probably one of the most de-
sirsble stations along the route Of an
ticipated darkness. A programme lie
being arranged Tor covering the minor
details of CT eclipse. such as observs-
lions OF the diminishing sunlight: the
peculiar shadows cast by the foliage
on the ground when the sun is nearly
eclipsed; the strange w%avering lines or
shadow bands, as they are called.
which make their appearance a few
moments before totality; the swift on
rush OF shadow, and finally the glo-
rious but ipdescriable corona.
Thus, while the astronomer is ab-
Eorbed il special details which require
his whole and undivided attention. the
amateur enjoys tho opportunity of
watching the unfolding GloTies of the
corona from the standpoint Of a poet
or artist. Words fail TO convey the
INCONSISTENCIES OF the scene. From re-
hottest times It has been described
with enthusiasm as being Il of the
most beautiful of natural phenomena

Renl Value of College Education.

We are apt to overestimate the value
OF an education gotten from books
alone. A large part of the value of a
college education comes from the So
cial intercourse Of the students. the
reinforcement, the buttressing Of char
acter by association. Their faculties
are sharpened and polished by the at
triton of mind with mind. aud the pit
ting OF brain against brain, which slim
ulate ambition. brighten the ideals, ard
open up new hopes and possibilities.
Book knowledge Is valuable, but the
knowledge whAh comes from mind in
~tercourse is invaluable.-O. S. Marden.

GOVERNMENT FOR RUSSIA.
Representative Assemblies Are Pos
siblc Through Parliemen-
tary Training.

Statesmen, like Prince Mestchersky,
vino are saying that constitutional
government is impossible in Russia
Cor. the simple reason that the vast
majority OF the people hare not the
slightest conception of it's meaning"
seem TO be strangely ignorant OF the
fact. writes Hanlis Taylor. in North
American Review, that. f0r centuries,
the Russian people have been having
the best Of all constitutional training
In their village -pariianents, the ideuti-
cal training u of which has grown
he representative assemblies OF Eng
land and the United Safes. There Is
no reason why 2 parliamentary svb-
tenn should not he rapidly developed
in Russia. because tho entire sugstruc-
| ture of the state is composed on nur-
series in which the principle OF cleo
! ton and representation by small de-
/ mocracies is n full bloom. Russia
I cannot afford 10 wait. Since the fall
of the Roman empire, nc vast political
| aggregate ever suffered so much from
The lack OF the helping hand of a rep
resentative national assembly, capable
Of ~iusuring The equal and concerted
action OF widely di1used populations.
If to-day Russia had such q pariia-
ment, whose elongated fingers could
reach down into the pockets OF con-
senting millions, the brilliant adver-
sary now defyiug her would be as help
less as a cripple in the grasp OF a IL
tan.
