BY the study Of eclipses it has been
learned that the sun is composed of a
large number of elements, most of which
are in a gaseous condition. Through OBJ
servations made by the spectroscope the
light of the sun itself has been analysed
by means of the bands of light which
compose the solar spectrum. These re-
semble a rainbow in appearance and are
obtained by the passage of the rays
through prisms. When submitted to

ARMY RECRUIT PUNISHED
FOR ENLISTING BY FRAUD
Adopted Alias to Conceal Fact That
He Had Been Dishonor-
ably Discharged.

A soldier who gets into the military
service by fraud should not be allowed tc
remain in the army under any circum.
stances, according to the view Of Gen
Grant, commanding the Department OF
the East. Recruit Charles E. Wilson OF
the infantry, unassigned, recently was
convicted by court-martial, convened al
Fort Slocum, New York, of the charge OF
fraudulent enlistment. 1t was specified
that in order to re-enter the service he
had adopted an alias and concealed the
fact that he had been dishonorably dis.
charged from Company 1. 9th Infantry
in Texas, in March, 1909.
Court Overruled.
The court sentenced him to be dishon-
loWances and to confinement at hard Ia
Dor for one year. The court, however
recommended the accused to the elem
ency Of the reviewing authority and ex-
pressed the belief that his retention in
the service was advisable. In reviewing
said he regretted he could not concur in
that recommendation.
Congress and the War Department
said Gen. Grant, have adopted the
policy of barring all enlistments such as
this, and to permit the accused tosecure
a re-enlistment by the aid of a false oath
and the commission of a serious military
offense, when he could not honestly re-
enlist under any circumstances, would be
to put a premium on crimes, and might
cause others to commit similar offenses
in the hope that they would be treated as
leniently. The sentence is therefore ap-
proved and will be duly executed.

THE ECLIPSE.
By FREDERIC J. FIASKIN.

The eclipse Of the sum- predicted for to-
day, will only be visible in its entirety
! along q prescribed course extending from
Australia to Mexico. Practically all of
this course is over water, the only land
covered being some of the small islands
belonging to the Samoa, Fiji and Union
groups in the south Pacific ocean. These
islands are difficult of access and are
subject to cloudy weather at this season
of the year, which makes the observance
of the eclipse both difficult and uncer-
! tain.
In view of these circumstances. the
United States government did not send
an expedition of astronomers to make
observations in the field. However, every
possible effort will be made to secure
results from observation of the partial
eclipse which will be visible over the
country at different hours during the day
It will be observed from the Naval OBJ
| servatory in Washington shortly before
| sunset, but only the record of its time Of
contact and its duration can be made at
this time. In the Samoa Islands, where
the total eclipse will be visible, its appear
ance is scheduled for 7:45 am. The diff
ference in time between the appearances
in Washington and the islands is only
the usual variance noted between the
antipOdeS of Greenwich, near which the
Samoa Islands are located, and the east
! ern portions of the United States.
American scientists who are unable to
go to Samoa will accept details Of the
phenomena of this eclipse from astrono-
mers located more conveniently to its
course. While anxious to miss no oppOr-
tunity to study the surroundings of the
sun. which are only visible during the
time of the eclipse, in this instance the
difficulty of sending out an expedition for
this purpose overbalances the benefits to
be obtained. Whatever information re-
garding the suns surroundings may be
| gained by those able to view the eclipse
| from the islands will be promptly COM
municated to the world and utilized by
other astronomers.
