chiefly OF intense continuous radlations.
That the light of the inner corona is not
due to reflected sunlight to any great ex-
tent is shown from the fact that the dark
absorption lines of the normal solar spec
trums were absent. Five bright lines were
seen clearly, and their wave lengths have
been measured, including the important
green line of the unknown element cor
Onium.
The existence of seven additional bright
lines was suspected, but these were ex-
tremely faint. The corona has shown in
several recent eclipses as many as four
teen bright lines very plainly. The COM
parative faintness of the lines in the cor
ona observed in June is believed to be due
to the fact that the solar activity was very
great at this time. AS a result, more than
the usual amount Of solar matter was being
elected from the surface OF the sun into
the inner corona as well as into the
chrOmosphere. the lower solar atmosphere.
This produced the unusual general bril-

coronium.
II is strongly suspected that this Is not
the only line Of this element, though It Is
the most intense one. II is believed that
there are at least two or three fainter lines
belonging to this element In the violet
end Of the spectrum.
It is also believed that there may be two
Of three more unknown elements that are
true coronal elements, occurring, however,
less generally than coronfum. It q not
likely that all Of the fourteen or more
bright lines Of unknown origin that have
been observed in the corona belong TO the
element coronium. II IL believed By Ger
tain scientists that the coronal lines rep
resent some form Of matter electrically
excited. Knowing the accurate wave
length Of coronium, 1t may Be possible to
identify II by laboratory experiments with
some element existing on the earth, Just
as Ramsay, in 1895, discovered hellum in
the mineral clevite long after II had been
discovered In the atmosphere Of the sun.
According to spectroscopic observations

ton Of corunium around the sun. asSwell

irregularly distributed in the solar atmos-
phere. IL occurred IN GREATEST abundance
In the sunspot some, was observed to a
considerable extent in the vicinity Of the
south solar pole, but was entirely absent
in the neighborhood Of the north pole of
the sun. Moreover. its distribution was
entirely independent Of the elements be-
longing to the prominences, thus showing
that there is no necessary connection be-
tween the solar prominences and the ele-
ment coronium.
A most spectacular feature Of the eclipse
was the magnificent solar prominences,
capped with sharply curved coronal arches.
To the astronomer observations Of the
prominences during totality are not now
considered of great Importance. since it
has been possible for some time to study
these products OF the ceaseless solar ac-
tivity on any clear day by means of suit
able spectroscopic instruments.
Their association with the coronal
arches in this eclipse, as well as in GER
tain previous eclipses, is important, since
il may lead to a better understanding Of
the nature and underlying causes OF the
peculiar coronal streamers. The promi-

In fact, during certain eclipses streamers

in the Indian eclipse Of 1898. Most Of the

there seems little doubt now that the same
forces in the sun that produced the erup-
tive promlnences were also responsible for

the coronal streamers are largely electrical
in their origin, Just as the auroral stream
ers of the earths upper atmosphere are
electrical phenomena.
Evidence is also forthcoming from the
June eclipse to strengthen the view that
condensed metallic yapors are projected
to distances Of several million miles from
the solar surface far beyond the limits
reached by the prominences whose aver
age height is from fifty Thousand to one
hundred thousand miles, though heights
Of over three hundred thousand miles have

upon the cause Of any one Of these phe-
nomena may unravel the secret Of the 9TH
ers, for all are different manifestations Of
some great underlying force that pulsates
periodically through the suns interior.
It is still early to consider the complete
results of the June eclipse, since most Of
the astronomers who observed Il are now
busily occupied with astronomical work
connected with the war, and have had, in
many instances no opportunity to examine
extensively the records obtained. Some Of
the photographs and spectrograms have not
yet been developed and q number Of OBJ
servers have made only preliminary re-
ports.

director OF the Lick Observatory, the OBJ
servations are the most valuable obtained
by any expedition that has ever been sent

was granted an appropriation of three thou
sand dollars by Congress in 1916 for the
observation of this eclipse, and obtained
valuable results at Baker, Oregon. The

Unfortunately, no observations were pos

OBSERVATIONS Of the total eclipse
Of the sun that was, visible in the
~ United States on the eighth Of last
June have yielded results that will be Of
great value to science. A large number Of
excellent Photographic and spectroscopic
records Of the solar corona, that IL visible
only during the brief moments Of a total
eclipse Of the sun, were obtained by nearly
all Of the eclipse expeditions that were sta
toned along the path Of totality in the
western States from Washington to
Kansas.
1t is expected that the information de.
rived from careful future examinations Of
these records win materially assist In ad-
vsncing our knowledge Of the nature OF
the solar radiations ana the connections
existing between the sun spot cycle Of
solar activity and all the attendant, compli-
Gated phenomena Of the upper solar at.
mosphere, as we'll a. the resulting changes
in the earth's magnetism and weather con-
ditions.
On nearly every clear day for several
weeks preceding the eventful day of the
eclipse sun spot groups we're to be seen
on the surface Of the sun. The period Of
maximum solar activity for this cycle was
passed only Q year or so ago, and as the
decline toward the period Of minimum ac-
tivity several years hence is very gradual
It was predicted that the light Of that
mysterious halo of the sun, the corona,
would be unusually brilliant This predic-
tfon was fulfilled, for the corona, visible
during the eclipse Of June s, will go down
into eclipse history as one Of the most
brilliant and interesting in its complicated
structure of any Of the eclipses Of recent
years.
Prints from original negatives unfortu-
nately fail utterly to convey to US any idea
Of the magnihcence Of the coronal structure,
while the exquisite pearly radiance OF its
light, described by observers Of this eclipse
as bluish-white, is but q cherished memory
to those who were fortunate enough to OBJ
serve it. To appreciate how complex and
intricate IL the structure Of the corona one
must go either to the original negatives
that are full Of detail. to photographic
copies on glass or drawings from the orig
re-roducing the coronal structure on prints
has yet been devised. The accompanying
drawing Of the corona made by Edison
Petit from negatives obtained at Mathe-
son. Col, gives us what the Photographic
prints cannot give-an excellent idea of
the complicated structure of the corona.
II must be left to the painter to convey
to the mind the superb coloring, the con-
trasting effect of the blood-red promi- %
nences, that were 30 conspicuous In this
eclipse, with the grayish tinged disk OF the
occulting moon, the orange-tinged chrome
sphere and the pearly light of the coronal
streamers interlaced to form the petals of
some flowers gorgeous beyond description

nences and towering to height OF more

RECRUIT SAILORS
At REXALL STORES

In the window of the Crystal Phar-
macy drug store, on 25 South Palafox
street, there is displayed a double-page
advertisement from a current issue of
great national weekly that brings
the war on the sea directly home to
this section, and to the store where
the advertisement appears. 1t relates
to war work that the store is doing
for the government. Furthermore, they
helped pay for it-and the cost of the
'ad' for the single issue was $4,000.
The advertisement asks for $4,000
men, between 81 and 80, for service in
the new merchant marine. In the Ian
guage of its headline, 1t offers '50,0 900
jobs at sea" to clean-cut young Amer
leans. 1t states that the u. S. Shipping
Board will give them special training
before putting them into actual sea
service. carrying supplies to our armies
| and allies in the fighting fields Of
Europe. So much Importance is at
tached to this work that men accepted
| for it are exempted from a call to mill
| tary duty.
The advertisement relates further
that 1.-The ReXall stores throughput the
United States, nearly 1000 of them,
have been designated by the govern
ment as enrolling stations for the u.
S. Shipping Board. At these stores
young men may now sign on for train
