ment and disgust, she found them rang
ed against her. The Princess Maud de-
clared that she was fond of her Danish
lover and meant to marry him. The
Prince of Wales was devoted to his
youngest daughter, and so was her
powerful grandmother, Queen Victoria,
who made no secret of the fact that
she regarded it as an excellent match.
Most potent of all, the British people
took a fancy to the match and set up a
cIamorous demand. The Dane was well
liked in England, and Princess Harry"
as her father dubbed her, was a prime
favorite. King Christian and his ami
able queen were won over and the low
ers were married in the Chapel ROYAL
in the presence of a great gathering of
relatives and friends. The entire Brit
ish nation smiled benignly and gave
itself up unreservedly to a general holi-
day.
Everybody was satisfied except the
Danish crown princess. She had fail
ed ingloriously in her attempt to be-
come the mother-in-law of a o1aar
but she still retained the power to be-
come the nother-in-law of tradition
and she embraced the opportunity with
avidity. She declared that her English
daughter-in should never have a
crown of her noney-which was not a
meaningless thrust, for the crown
princess is very wealthy. she was so
inhospitable that If the Princess Maud's
father had not taken the precaution to
have it put into the marriage settle
ment that the young couple were to
live at least half of each year in Eng
land the unwelcome bride would have
had rather trying time of it. Az
result of Louise's i'll treatment her son
and his wife remained in England most
of the time. The Prince of Wales gave
them a pleasant little home near his
own at Sandringham called Appleton
House, and there their son was born.
After her father assembled the throne
the princess received more assistance
from him. He made it one of his first
duties to see that his favorite ssPrfncese
Harry was made comfortable.

Professor Korns process was made
possible by the discovery that one ele-
mental substance experiences a change
in its electrical condition by the ac-
ton of light. That substance is Selen-

Berzelius in 1917. It was first obtained
from crystals formed in the lead cham
bers of sulphuric acid works 1t is also
found in many crude mineral forms,
but in small quantities. It occurs in
several forms, that used by Professor
Korn being a black crystalline solid.
This variety of the element conducts

when heated, but diminishing consider

EaE Aug. 80 is perhaps the
EH most important event
of the kind that has
taken place in a quar-
EIIIIsIrTT I1s,,gs.l ter of a century or is
~ likely to occur in an
other equal period of time. This is be-
cause the path of totality will lie in
accessible places and also because the
duration of totality will be unusually
long The shadow path will begin at
sunrise south of Hudson bay, enter the
Atlantic ocean a short distance north
of Newfoundland, cross northeastern
Spain, northeastern Algiers and north
ern Tunis, pass centrally over Assouan
on the Nile and end at sunset in south
eastern Arabia.
Several astronomical expeditions have
gone from the United States to points
within the path of totality. The Har-
ward observatory, usually foremost in
matters of this nature, has not sent out
a special eclipse party this year, al
though its chief astronomer, Professor
William H. Pickering, has gone to AL
giers on his own account to see it. The
Harvard lenses. and Photographic ap-
paratus have been loaned to Lick OBJ

parties-one to Labrador, another to
Spain and a third to Egypt The
United States naval observatory at
Washington sent observers to Labrador
and to Spain. A party of amateurs and
specialists from Hartford, Conn. will
see the eclipse from a camp pitched at
an elevation of several hundred feet on
an island in Hudson bay. Professor
John A. Miller of the Indiana State
university has organized a party and
gone to Spain. W. F. King, chief as
tronomer of Canada, has been sent by
the Dominion government to conduct a
series of observations in Labrador.
Miss Mary Proctor Of Brooklyn, N. Y,
daughter of the noted British astrono-
mer, r. A. Proctor, and herself an au-
thority on the geography of the heav-
ems, is at the head of an expedition
whose objective point is Burgos, Spain.
OF course the liveliest scientific in
fsrest centers upon the path of total
eclipse. This will be a narrow belt,
eighty miles in width. extending nearly
halfway around the globe Beginning

a vacuum tube to produce a glow. There
is a marked tendency nowadays to re-
fer all phenomena not well understood
to electricity. This is especially true
of phenomena connected with the sun.
Even the aurora borealis has been ac-
counted for in this way.
Other phenomena that will be closely
studied this year will be the tongues of
flame that shoot outward from the
SUMS disk and make circle of fire
reaching a distance of from $4,000 to
100000 miles. The nature and cause
of these outbursts of burning vaporous
matter, with their accompanying cleo
trical effects. are now an engrossing
study for scientists in all parts of the
world. Professor Pickering has gone
to Algiers prepared to make a some

ragged edge, with its high volcanic
mountains and its pale glimmer of

Perhaps =, the most interesting phase
of observation of the eclipse will be the
search for the missing planet Vulcan
which is supposed to be a miniature
earth revolving within the orbit OF
Mercury and SO close to the sun that
it is impossible to locate it under nor
NAL conditions. This has long been re-
garded as one of the most fascinating
ana OBSCURE phases OF astronomical re-
search. Strictly speaking, Vulcan is
nothing more or less than Theoretical
planet. No one claims ever to have
seen it and thus far it has eluded the
search of the most wonder revealing
lens ever invented. All the evidence ii

stantial, but it has obtained a certain
