It is considered doubtful if the call l extended by the Baptist church to Rev. Charles Merrill of Boston will be accepted, as it has been learned re- gently that MT. Merrill, who is en- gagged in Y.

Merrill was here as a supply several times during the past summer and the call was unanimous.
 It is expected that the fourth big vessel to go overheard at the Noank branch of the Groton Iron works will be launched about Dec. 14.

SCIENTISTS WILL GATHER
 TO WITNESS PHENOMENON
(By Associated Press)

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, March In order to afford the nations sci entists an opportunity to witness the total eclipse of the sun on June 8, Spencer Penrose of Colorado Springs, president of the Pike's Peak Automo- bile Highway Company, has invited several hundred astronomers Of the United States, Canada and Mexico to view the phenomenon from the sum- init of Pike's peak, 14,109 feet above the sea level. Pikes peak is in the direct line of the total eclipse, and of ficials of the naval almanac office of the United States naval observatory at Washington say that it is one of the country's most favorable locations for eclipse expeditions.
 No such extensive shadow path has passed over the country since the eclipse of 1878, when a view of the corona was obtained by Professor Langley and his party of United States naval observers on Pikes peak.
 The automobile highway of the fam Ous peak will be used for the trans portation of the variOus scientific in struments necessary for observing and recording the eclipse.
 The eclipse will last about 100 sec onds at Pikes peak While crossing the United States in forty-seven min utes, it will pass through Colorado Springs at 4:23 D. m, mountain time
