Total Eclipse.

Washington. Admiral Ches-
ler, superintendent of the national OBJ
servatory, has completed arrangements
for the observation of the total solar
eclipse of August 1890 of this year,
an event of the greatest Importance to
astronomers, and the details of his
plan have been made public. Congress
appropriated $4,000 for this purpose
and the naval party will be sent out on
the United States ship Column ia and
the United States ship Carter to estab-
lish three separate stations, namely,
one near the central line of the eclipse,
possibly on one of the islands of the
Columbretres group, off the east coast
of Spain; one 10 or 10 miles within
the edge of the shadow rath, probably
near Valencia. Spain. and one near
the central line. close to the railroad
from Tunis to Algiers, in Africa.
The force will consist of Rear Ad-
miral G. M. Chester, U. $. N, in
charge; about seven men of the staff
of the observatory; L. E. Jewell OF
John Hopkins university; DIR. S. A.
Mitchell of Columbia university, and
DR.. N. E. Gilbert of Dartmouth col.
lege. Professor r. H. Bigelow of the
United States weather bureau will ac-
company the expedition in charge of
the meteorological work.
In this &c ip,e the moon shadow
strikes the earth at sunrise near the
south end of Lake Winnipeg, Manito-
ba, sweeps eastward through the Brit
ish possessions, over Labrador, and en-
tiers the Atlantic ocean 100 miles north
of the east entrance of Belle Isle
straits. After leaving the American
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 southeastwardly
across, leaving Madrid about 40 miles
and Valencia about two miles distant
from the southern edge outside of the
shadow. Crossing the Mediterranean
the shadow strikes Africa midway be-
tween Algiers and Tunis. across the
desert int Egypt, leaving the earth in
central Arabia.
Besides this American naval expedi-
ton, the Harvard university expects to
locate an observatory in Labrador, the
Indiana state university will send q
body to Spain and the German govern
ment will locate on the Colum bretres
islands. Lick observatory will send
parties to Labrador. Spain, Egypt
and Russia will send out two parties.
