central Spain near Saragossa. Hotel
accommodations being somewhat UNI
certain in Spain, the scientists carried
a supply Of khaki tents and all the
most approved conveniences for maxi
ing a comfortable camp. The African
section of the expedition proceeded to
the western boundary of Tunis, where
the most ella Norate preparations for
eclipse observation ever devised were
made. Apparatus more powerful than
any ever before constructed will have
been on the ground long enough for
the various operators to become per-
fectly familiar with it's working, so that
every instant Of the precious moments
of total observation may be utilized in
the most profitable manner. Arrange
ments for this eclipse have been maxi
ing for two years and every point has
been canvassed thoroughly. A series
of drills is being held at the camps
daily and nothing is being omitted or
forgotten.

naval observatory, is in charge of the
eclipse expedition and has made ex-
cellent use of the $4,000 appropriated
by congress for the purpose. He is a

CORRESPONDENCE change the electric
current flowing from the transmitte1

person, for instance, different flow

impression of dark hair or beard from
that which would indicate the lighter
impression of the forehead or face.
Professor Korn's process was made
possible by the discovery that one ele-
mental substance experiences a change
in it's electrical condition by the ac-
ton of light That substance is Selen-
ium, a chemical element discovered by
Berzelius in 1917. 1t was first obtained
from crystals formed in the lead cham
berS of sulphuric acid works. 1t is also
found in r1any crude mineral forms
but in small quantities. 1t occurs ir
several forms, that used by Professo
Korn being a black crystalline solid

electricity, it's resistance increasing
when heated, but diminishing consider
ably on exposure to light, especially red
rays. The change of conductivity is
instantaneous and is almost doubled in
sunlight, although the light from
small lamp has a perceptible influence.
1t is upon this property that the con-

ed on fhe cylinder and affecting the

ity of the invention. For several years
it has been well known in electrical
circles that the development of this dis
covery into practical utility was only
question of time. At varying inter-
walls during the past decade announce
ments of its perfection have been
made, but subsequent trials proved that
the claims were premature. Now,
however, the actual results obtained by
the French experimenters on the line
between Paris and Rouen indicate that
the obstacles have been overcome.
It is admitted by all of those con-
cerned in the matter that the mech
anism employed in this remarkable
process is extremely complicated. BY
way Of balancing matters, however. it
is stated that the principle adopted is
quite simple. 1t is the invention of
Professor Arthur korn of Munich,
Bavarian electrical engineer who has
devoted several years to the study of
this new marvel among electrical posi-
bilities. He claims to have transmit
ted photographs over the wire against
resistance equivalent to a distance of
$500 miles.
Solution Of the problem was found in
the construction of special apparatus
for the transmission and reception of
the subjects. 1t was necessary to Sc
cure medium that would measure au-
.omatically the high lights and more
shadowy parts OF a photograph and,
according to the lights and shadows.

81 40 likely 10 occur IN an
either equal period of time. This is be-
cause the path Of totality will lie in
accessible places and also because the
duration of totally will be unusually
long. The shadow path will begin at
sunrise south of Hudson bay, enter the
Atlantic ocean short distance north
tH Newfoundland, cross northeastern
Spain, northeastern Algiers and north
Grn 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
special eclipse party this year. al
though Its chief astronomer, Professor
i william III. Pickering, has gone to AL
Eiers on his own account to see it. The
Harvard lenses and Photographic APP
paratus have been loaned to Lick OBJ
servatory, which has sent out three
parties-one to Labrador, another to
Spain and 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 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

a vacuum tube to produce glow. There
is marked tendency nowadays to re-
fer all phenomena not we'll 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
suns disk and make circle of fire
reaching 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 some
what exhaustive study of the moons
ragged edge with it's high volcanic
mountains and its pale glimmer of
light.
Perhaps the most interesting phase
of observation of the eclipse will be the
search for the missing planet Vulcan,
which is supposed to be miniature
earth revolving within the orbit of
Mercury and so close to the sun that
it is impossible to locate 1t under nor
NAL conditions. This has long been re-
garded as one of the most fascinating
and 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 in
favor of it's existence is purely circum
stantial, but it has obtained certain
recognition from all astronomers since
LIE Verrier many years ago asserted
his belief in it's existence and further
demonstrated his faith in it by giving
it the name of Vulcan. 1t derives its
being from the fact that Mercury has
a fashion of varying it's movements in
way not to be accounted for by
gravitation, exactly as if some unknown
body were influencing its course. Dur
ing the eclipse of 1873 two separate OBJ
servers, Professor Watson of Ann Ar
Dor in Colorado and DR.. Swift of
Rochester in Wyoming, claimed to have
seen several small planets near the sun.
These claims were discredited by the
astronomical world in general and
more evidence was demanded. Since
then the search for the elusive planet

measures ever put upon, the statute
books and has vindicated itself. When
it was enacted, according to the testi-
mony of Senator Dollivar, who was
then a member of the house ways and
means committee. many of the rates
were put purposely high that they
might be used in negotiating recip-
rocity treaties. At that time the re-
publican party was in favor of making
trade conquests through the medium
OF reciprocal agreements The senate
was not against reciprocity then and
President Mckinley was advocating 1t
from the white house. 1t was gem
orally conceded that our export trade
could be greatly increased through
such treaties, hence the nigh rate on
some of the schedules. But the bene-
ticiaries have tasted the sweets of these
abnormal rates and now cefuse to re-
llnquish any part Of them without a
struggle Mr. Perkins understands this.
He knows some of the Dingley sched-
llles are too high and should be re-
duced. Time has wrought changes and
n measure that was good in 1897 is not
so good in 1905.
There is no occasion for anybody to
defend those who enacted the Dingley
law and If the editor of the Marion
paper had control of the Sioux City
Journal he would be wasting time in
trying to defend vote that needs no
defense.
The so-called tariff rippers" in Iowa
are the true friends of the principle of
protection They would eradicate the

and make protection the vehicle OF
Justice and a square deal. They
would place the tariff wall at the line
of protection by hewing down the tri-
butte schedules. They would strengthen
the principle in the condolences of the
people and make the direct beneflc-
iaries share the benefits with consume
ers. Let the stand pat contingent In
the United States persist in its course
and defeat needed changes and the en-
tire principle will suffer, thus aiding
free traders to spread the insidious
doctrine of the Golden Club and gain
recruits among thinking men who can
see that the tariff is being debased to
personal ends and misused for per-
sonal gain.

this city to secure from John b. Cum
ningham, examiner of the Enterprise
National Bank, list of the political
notes and paper held by the bank, with
authority to settle them so as to with
draw all such obligations before re-
port can be made. The bank examiner
has refused so far to make public any
of the affairs of the bank, and IL he
should give this man the information
sought he would be violating his trust.
The machine has been SO careless in
its financial transactions and in kit

ciers of the gang have no record of
how much paper has been placed with
the Enterprise National Bank.
