The day of ecllpae dawned as bright as the most enthusiastic sstron ’mer could wt*h and very soon after the aun a rays began to light up the water* of Hampton sloads, the vessel became the scene of grist activity.

The Eclipse aa <een by aa Aatroao isirr. To even Ihe most hasty observer the character of natme wa* changed. As ihe sun's crescent faded away and Ihe light which reached ihe earth came only from Ihe edge of the disc. It underwent a series of changes, and at the last had a wan greenish tint, In which every object of nature assumed a spectral appearance. A sickly, baneful hue. somewhat like that which precede* an awful storm lay over all. The breese dropped and nature seemed to pause breathless and wan be fore entering upon some great struggle. Toward Ihe southwest the oncoming shad ow of the moon began to darken the sky It grew rapidly blacker as If a lornado wa* sweeping down upon the observer The black column swept on, bloating out every object In its path, like u very demon of destruction One fairly held hi* breath a* it appro* hed, expecting lo see ship* and houses disappear In one general ruin, hut •* the very moment of destruction cam* Ihe black shadow passed noiseless ly over the water, the sun vanlahed like the shutting off an electric light, and In Its place streamed out that mysterious sil very light which astronomers call the corona. No other scene In all nature can he com pared to this sight. From all {tarts of the hidden disc of the sun flashed these cu rious beam* of light Along the ecliptic the •treamers extended to a distance of a diameter and a half from the sun's diec. Interlaced and Interwoven In the most complicated way. About the poles the matter which gave th* coronal light seemed arranged in a manner similar to th* lines of force about a magnet. This corona of silvery light Is unlike any other light In all the universe of stars, and as on* gazed at Its unearthly radiance, well could we comprehend the awe and th* fear which this sight has brought to all timid minds in the darker periods of the world's history. Kvcn the modern mind al most questions what message this myi*- rlous light flashes bark to the hearts of men. flmall wor.der that tyrant and slave have trembled before this wan symbol of the sky. But suddenly in the Far Weal, whence the mysterious sha lotv had com*, a faint line of dawn was seen It crew rapidly brighter and wider and almost before one realised whit it meant all the phenom ena of the dawn had com* nd gone: the sunlight again flash**! ou*. wan and sick ly at (list, tail growing every minute ; stronger and more wholesome, and nature once more put on her every day garb. The eclipse was over. To the astronomer a total eclipse fur nishes the one opjtortunlty to study that curious appendage of the sun which haw received the name of the corona, and when one remember* that. although eclipses are comparatively frequent, their average duration Is about three mlnutea. and that In a half century we have had In all scarcely a half hour for this study, the moments of eclipse seem precious In deed to the astronomer. Peaclls tlai: and the Sketching Be gun. Formerly when our knowledge of tha form and structure of tha corona depend ed on sketches* by different Individuals, tha personal equation entered so strongly ss to mske the results of doubtful value for purposes of comparison The unoffi cial expedition whose story has Just been told. may. at least, give some testimony on this point. Immediately after tha eclipse each mem ber of the porty was aeked to sketch, without consultation with others, the out line of the corona as seen by himself The results, while they mav not adorn a ti t. will at least serve to point a moral Turning first to a sketch by the Honora ble Secretary of the Interior we see the corona as a rsa! corona ought to he. uni form. strong and radiating impartially In all directions I A aeries of sketches hy three distin guished members of the House of Repre sentattvee. the Hon.
