~ scientific expedition from George

servations of total eclipse Of the sun

"It is all a gamble with the elements" )"
was the way DR.. McNally characterized
these weeks of preparation: TO the
average layman, equipped with
smoked glass, 1t means merely an en-
ioyable days outing. With scientists,
however, it is different.
'Tf it rains or If the day Is disagree
ably cloudy, all their efforts and ex-
penditures will come to naught. When
one considers the fact that there viii
not be another complete eclipse visible
in the United States for 80 years. or
during the lifetime of most living scien-
fists, tho5e 100 seconds are very pre-
cious, indeed"
Dr.. McNally is heading into the zone

cameras attached, short and long focus
lenses, for photogr2phing the corona

will be required to work in frenzy OF
accuracy for the brief period Of the

with the two and one-haH days pay,
which had been deducted in July. less
the retirement deduction for the month
of August.
In other words" McCarl said,
where an employees first absence on
furlough during the fiscal year 1888 is
for straight calendar month, that ab-
sence will constitute the full period of
his legislative furlough and no pay will
accrue therefor, but there will be credit
ed to him, in computing the deductions
for the furlough time actually taken,
the amount previously deducted at the
rate of two and one-half days pay per
month on account of furlough not
taken"
In answer to the Attorney Generals
question as to whether they should be
charged with one days leave without
pay, as distinguished from the fur
Tough leave, for the thirty-first day Of
a 31-day month, McCarl answered in
the negative. He held that, according
ly, the absence Of an employe who took
of the whole month of August for his
furlough should complete his compul-
sorry furlough and that no extra charge
should be made for the thirty-frst.
