THE DAILY TTVlgylNG TELEG1TAPII PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, JULY 27, 18G8. G THE (JO MING ECLIPSE. Th're is to occur this j ear, on the 17th of Atjcust, one ot the most imposing solar eclipses tbtit u observer uu this eartu is in a position to behold. Kcmarkable phenomena of the kind have hnppmcd be ore, and will hap pen Resin; but tlm one poiuhC. a spocial tutu rent. There are pnrliiil eclipses aud total eclipses; Interne the tcnlity lus but a very lew so oudn, and the spectator haj small time to eta ly the Martliug pheuoaieua that the occasion n ft nil est?; iu others, however, the obcurtt9n endure s for Bverl minuter, aud pond opportu nity Is atlordt'd toroberviu aud rcconiimr the nttetidant iippeararicen. Now, in the eclipse in quesnoD tbe eun will bp hidden for more than bix tuiiiute.s nearly the inuximum possible inter val, and the aMiononier are on the qui tive with preparations lor mattinsr the best me of this time In ucUliujr qiuoi quc-ttons now es istibe, and in gleuuini; new facta for tue advancement of tueir cornpreUensivo science. One umurtutiate circumstance is th.it the ppectacle enn ouly be witnessed iu ttitaatious far removed lrotn the great centres of European clvltzation; tor the shadow path of the moon parses over India, thu Malay Peninsula, au i the Oriental lalauds. liut this ha not deterred the satana from their tearch nttr knowledge; India, at all events, oilers a vantage ground for tho observers, which ample preparations have been n.nde to ocoupv. Schemes have been tli-cuied. expensive instruments hive beun niadp, aud eyes and hands carefully trained to use tbem; and well-equipped expeditious have been bttert out. Learned societies have Riven their bruins and governments their moneys, and all tint tar Mpht and foresight can do lias been done to make, the event a' Iruittul one t3 science; for it may be centuries ere an eclipse oi such magnitude will occur aeatu. In times when minds were dull and umnquir itiR, utid when eyes hud no telescopes to aid them iu prjln? into the hall-revealed secrets of nature, a i-olar tclipe was a thin? to bs wou dered a, frightened at, and passed over. Tho five years' war beteeu the Mede9 and Lydiaus was brought to a close by an eclipse, which so fcnred the rival armies that they made peace. The fears engendered by such a turning of day into uialit lusted for centuries, lot William of Malmesbury relates of an eclipse that occurred in 1140, that persons while Bitting at their meals weie so frightened by the vuiden darkness, that they rau out I rum their nouses, fearing that the nuctcnt chaos was about to return; "an I later liistonuns tell ot similar effects. Tne vaue uud awe-iu9pired acuouuts that were in former times given ot those phenomena pave way to others havina some pretension to fuliir.-s aud precision, about the commence ment of the last century; probably the first vrU observed eclipse was one which took place u the l'.'th 01 May, 170S. Hut the telescopes of at time were poor tools, and the records refer .-.o'etlT to turn ctlccts as were visible to tho uu ni n-d eye. In the sky tu plane s near the sun and tue briuhter stars were seen, and the phe nomenon known as the corona, which, had been noted by previous observers, and of which wo thall have more to 8-ty presently, was pro nl liently visible. Uu the earth the recorded eiTects weie those whirh are always seen and felt on fuch occasions. Tne bats flew as at sight ; the fowls betook themselves to rest ; the siosrinsr birds sileucel their notes ; the laboring animals stood still; inanimate nature assumed a cadaverous hfpect; animate na'tire was appalled. The de pressing influence of the unnatural darkness caused by a to'al eclipse uasbeeu remarked aud commented upon by every observer down to the last occasion of witnessing it. It i a darkness to be felt; a gloom that brings ' a silence deep as death," aud makes "The boldest hold his bitatu for a time." Arairo tells of a poor shepherd child that cried and called for help at tho total phase ol the eclicse of 1842; but children of larger growth have felt a thrill of horror ma through them when the list beams of a meridian tun have bet-u suddenly extin guished, and a livid black pall has descended upon the face of the earth. The same observer describes in graphic langjaire how a crowd of twenty thousand people, including a b )dy of soldiers, was atlec.ed on the same occasion. During the pioress of the eclipse all had been excitement and lively curiosity. But wheu the sudden darkness came, "the phenomenon in its innpuibeenc.i' triiimphod nvpr Ihp pplnlanno of you'tn, over the levity which certain per sons assume as a sign of superiority, over the noisy Indifference of which soldiers usually make prolestdon. A pro'.ound stillness reigned in the air; the birds ceased to 6ing." The Inerlish Rival Astrono mer, ilallev, in relatiug the effects of the eclipse of 1715, passed over the coucern, observ able in all kinds of birds, animals, and dshes, as a com-equence too obvious to be noticed wheu even he and others could not escape from a tense of horror; aud cool, experienced observers, lino wmg what to expect, huve been a ve-siricken at the comiug on oi the unearthly elooni. For the darkening is not lice tuatot uigbt: although. it is neaily as intense, it is of far diUtreut cha racter. Tue t-ky assumes a purple blnck color, and appears to tall upon the earth; the atmos phere aid terretrlil objects take a strange tint that some have described as a livid yellow' oilier? as dark green, others as au olive hue. Mr. Airy, who observed with her husband at Touriu, 1842, aui that the edect was like that produced oy looking at a landscape through very dark greenlsn glats. Of several explana tions which huve been offered to accotnt for this apparent change of color, that which refers ir to phybiologlcil causes Is the most plausible. Ihis theory attributes the eifect to contrast; the change irom one state of lllumi nattou to another is very sudden, and the duration of the darkness Is too short to allow the eye to reeoi'nize the specific hue of colored obtects. It may be that during au eclipse of long totality, like that which is coming, the optic nerves may have time to recover from tho sudden thock cnused by the iiislautaneous dart cuing, and towards the cud of the obscuration may fee objects as uuder an ordinary twilight aspect. This is a point to be determined. Olaucing troin earth to beaveD, the most pal pable peculiarity in a total tolar eclipse is the Laio of white phosphorescent light that entirely surrounds the bleck dbc of the moon. Ilalley aptly pictured this feature to the popular eye by conjpuring it to the radiating apnea rauce with, which painters surround the heads ot saints. Tho hi -tori an s of tho ante Christian era who were fortunate enough to behold S'dar eclipses make mention of tue pheDoxenou; they gave it tho name of the corona, by which it Las since been known. Ob-mcr who have wn it udou recent ocrmior.s give the most varied de-ciptious of it; some have called it tibrous, and coni parable to euluiicled thread; others have described it us brush-like aud featherj; and others have attributed to it a circular motion like that of some varieties of tirewoiks. Very curious and irtecoiiCilnble are the drawings which have been given by different observers of the same rclip.-e. Son. e have isolnied beams or rays of lighthhooiii.tr in ore dreetiou, others, ciiniLir beurus darting an opposite way; BOine hhow tho rays emanating radially from the black moon, while, others inuke tueiu tangential, and again others exhibit thm curved like a sickle or a stiiiietar. 1 lie Astrouonier Uoval expressed hiimelf benihlered at the nitcordances in the depicuous he had received of th corona visible tlurirg the last pr. at ecliie. 1 havi-seen mauy of thcte diogmins. and their dissimilarity forces one to atiKpect that diflerent eyes have received vastly different impressions irom the same obji ct. iiut rejecting what is doubtful, there remaius the rert.tinty .hat, wheu the tun is completely ob cured by the moon, the disc ol the latter i tnconipasvd by a glory the Lieadt'i ol which is pcueially equal to about one-sixth of the moon's diameter, bat extended in some places into brushes or luminous streaks, fully as long as the moou's diameter, 'iuo question theu ariben, To what is this feature duo? If there was an atmosphere surunnding the rooun, it would be abundantly eirplaiued; but the more crucial tebts lor surh an appendage negative its exsteoce. Is it a widely r.vtended atmosnhrre of tlie svn, or a luminous vapor Buti-ound'og the solar globe? This it can hardly be; for, if it were such, the aryiijg po-itious of the moon iu her pps-ago acroes the sun's diso would not sensibly atlect its leutureK; whereas it is lound that these cl'aniilug conditions do vastly alter the appear ance and conformation of the coroua. It is J rctty wll concluded tfcat it chines pot tj its own light bat by rcflo 'ted llcht-that lb is not phosphorciscent, but borrows its illumination lrotn thP nun. The tel of oUr zation shows thi-. A ray of reflected liuht behaves very difTcieutlv from a rny ot direct light when both are paste l thvonih a doubly refract ing prism. The direct b am Is split Into two sec ions, which, 1n all positions of the prls-n, are of equal Intensity ; while the rellec'ed ban, sinilprlv divided, hows two p;'ois of llg'it which, in cer'ain portions of the prism, differ conmlernbly in briijhtnpss. An analysis of the covona of the lit eelir"e wa mndeup jn this principle, nnd It wn then determlood that It shone bv rerlected li ;ht, and was therefore not self-lur'ninou". From thn.-e obscrvV.lons, and from other ron1 lernttrmo, the As'ron nier Itojal h is arrived m t the op ulon that there mom be an attenuate I a'.tno-phere eocom paFsing the faith to such an csteat that It Tpnchoi. even fo the moon and that it is the lighting tip ol the regions of this Htmo-phere In the imineliate vicinity of the moon that glvej lise to tho corona and ts vary ing Icttiurc'". The late Mr. Laily excited curiosity for a time by his announcement that just be.fore the corn men ce mm t and just alter the end of to'.ality of a folar f clippc, or in other words when the limbs of the suu and moon are Just touching inter rally, the i.nnow line ol solar light breaks up into luminous polut, and presents the appear ance of a f tring of bright beads. This pheno menon, which has since been recoiuissed as "Hal ly's beads," 1' sometimes, but n it al wayj, seen; it is very easily accounted for. The moon's edge is not perlectly smooth; mountains and valleyi give it a sei rated outline, and wtien tho margins ol the moon nnd sun are just overlap ping, the sun's margin t ju?t visible through the chinks and crannieiof that of the moon, and gives the nppeatauce of a chapletof beads. A thept of paper laid under a paw. so that its edge just peeps between the tenth, renats tho appearar.ee which, as it leads to nolhiug, may be riirmisscd forthwith. But by fartuo most interesting aud suggestive of eclipse pbenonieua are the red-colored masres of light that are seen to exude apparently from the moftu's circumieret ce. These protuberances were Brit cuisorily noticed bv one Captain Stanyan, duiiug the ecl'pse of 170C. Fla ustecd, England's Brst A-tronomer Uoyal, t-ays in a letter to the ltoyal Society that "the Cantalu is the first mau 1 ever heard of that look noticd of a red streak of light preceding the emersion of the sun's body from a total eclipse, and I take notice of it to you because it inters that the noun has nri atmosphere." Than at the eclipse of 1773 two other observers saw something of tho same character. But, curi ously, these records fur a ljug time escaped the attention of astronomers, Bud when thy turned their eyes and glasses upon the eclipse of 1841, tbey were ignorant ol what their predecessors had seen and noted. They gazed at the blowly disappearing sun in anxious expectancy, pro pared to see something strange, b'lt knowing not what. In, U5ine their surprise wheu, as the last glimpse of the solar disc was shut or.t by tbe hdvanciug moon, they saw tho black edge ol the latter gar nished in tome paits with a blood-red bor der, aud in others with sheaves of roseate light and mountains of glo wing flame. The observers were elect! itied with this apparition; tney were uncrepared to measure or to depict; and before thev had time to collect themselves, and satisfy their eyes uud minds that neither had been under illusion, the sun reappeared, and the marvellous phenomeua vanished. All anxiety then came to be centied upon the next great eclipse. Thn happened fn 1S51. The experi ences purchased upon previous occasions were turned to account in preparing instructions and laying down schemes of ootervatiou for this. The British Association, with the ce-opi ration of soo e foreign astronomers, drew up and circulated a pamphlet of sugeertion9 to intending observer?, aud instruments aud eyes were made ready fot aclou. Ail the phetiomcu.i ol an eclipse were provided for, as regards obser vation and record of them; but the "red promi nences" were literally the prominent points of interest. The shadow path ot this eclipse passed over northern Europe, and along it, chielly in Sweden, the observers, i ke a party of skir mishers, dicposid tbemsdves. This time they were forewarned, aud to forearmed; kuowiog what to look for and how to see it. CircumHtanccs proved lavora'i'.e, and wheu the totality came on, the anxiously ex pcccU iusy excrescences shone loiih tu all their glory. Mtiny observers saw th'm, estimated their e Ize, and mapped and drew them Several ot tbe questions that had been raised were decided. Foremost among these was, whether the piominences were attachod to the moon or to the tun? Well, some observers asserted thai protuberances ou the eastern side becamo quickly hidden, wh'le otbeis sprang up ou the wtstcrn side: that is, they were respectively covered aud revealed on the eastern and western borders ol the tun by the advancing moon, bo it wa- established almost to a ceitamty that tho prominences were ptrt and parcel ot the sun. But other bewildering questions aroe. When the drawings of didernt obser vers were compared, discrepancies were levealed that were sdircely attnou'.able to errors of obscrvat-on. U;ion the forms and characteristics of soma of tho more remarkable ot tho red masses no two ob-ervers were in agreement. Pictures and descriptions werea'ike irreconcilable; tbey left an impres sion, upon the minds of tho-e who exa ained them, that there was some mirage-like effect thut mauiicsted itself variously to di tie rent eyec. Nine years passed away, and at their enl came the famous cciipse'of 18G0, which was most favorubly visible in accessible parts ot Spain. During th nine years a valuable adjunct to telchcopic obscrva lou had been pressed iuto the astronomer's seivice. Photography, in its youth in 1811, bad beu wrought to perfec tion by 18(0, and has been successfully apnlied to the depiction of celestial objects, notably the spots ou tho suo and tbe biirface irregularities ot the moon. The suggestion had been made in 1851 of the grest a tvautage that would follow from photographing tho deiv.ls ot the eclii ee of that year, but little action was tkken, us the art was then to tcuing. But when pieparat ioi.s wire iu progress lor the Spaiiish eclipse, it occurred to Mr. De la Rue, the lather of celestial photography, to tit out a suitable apparatus tor nisKiug the eclipse phenorrena record theiuielve.-1. and thus avoid the vagaries and ttuperlectioos of eve aud hand dehuea'ion. Thi; was done. A "pboti helopniph" and the pertaining apparatus and cucmicaU formed a prominent leature in tbe expedition w hich II. M. S. Himalaya bore from riyniO'Ub to the northern prts of fpam in July, 18C0. This expedition comprised a goodly baud ol Kuropeau a-ironoiuers and ob-ervers; for ull w ho were piepored to do aiyiiood wen made welcome ou boaid the transport, which had beeu liberally placed by the government at the disposal of ttie Astronomer Royal. Every thing turned out livornbly lor the observers, and Mr. lu la Rue via fortunate enough to secure t o negatives duriug the totality, on eac'i ol which the led protuC'.'ratices were vigorously impressed. Two more valuable plio'oi'.raplis, freui a K-icnt i dc standard of worth, were never produced. .S.mie ies pretentious imores-ions were taken by u Roman ustrououur, Padra K'cchi, nt a stu'ioi coiiiidrrably removed from Sir. De la RueV, and some o.hers by the bpanish asirouDuier, henor Agadar. Iho differ ent p'ctuie were submitted afterwards to rigor ous comparison, when it va found that tue prominences weie identical, although obsiirvo 1 from distant place-; and thus the discrepancies of eye deliui ations were shou to be the resuiia ol dillertnl iniprcrcioua upc;u the observers' minrls, ilue to Iihs e, piejndice, or nn thuds and powers of kCi utluy. Besides these photographs, a vast rxass ol otisei viiiioii-i was a'-cumulated by the fco'ts o' otsoivers who watch.-d tho ellipse. Vrrj many aecouuts have been pub lisher!: some reiiium in inanuseript, U'.d as yet no collation ol the whole has been ma le. Per haps tlie eclipse r.f tn s year may allord results by the litJht ot wli ch the facts and features of the I st one may be more ea-tily real aud analysed. One i'uii g was definitely settled by Mr. Do la Rue's photographs: this was the connec'lou ol the protubi runces w hh the sun. Whatever doubtB may have previously existed upou the point were removed by the evidence w'hieh the measurement of these pictures has ariorded. r And uow the question comen, What are these rosy prominences? Tins brings us to tl e eclipse pt this ytur, because UIbIiqiu ou'CrvttUouB of it that the question, tt Is hoped, will rocclvo at leas' a partial sdution. Allbnvobyths timo heard ol spectrum analysis, tbe wonderiiil lower by which the physicist, armed only with a wedge or glas?. can tell ns the source ot liiht coming fioai sun from star, from comet, from nebula. Kirehoff. the honored discoverer of this means of ipsparcli, has told us that the sun Is sur rounded by on in tensely heated atmosphere, cbawpd with the vapors of metals and other in gredients which the prism has enabled him and o hers to sort and separate, and ttus to identily null mctalt and ingredients common to our globe. Are these red, cloud-like masses skim ming apparently over the solar sur'nee, aggre gations Kit this vapor, flames of burning nietam? Do they glow with their own incuiidesc -ut light, or aro they lit by the bright sea on which they float? Are they solid massrs of matter, or are they attenuated gapes? These sro the points which it i hoped will bo Fettled in whole or in part ou the 17th of August on the hills of India. Tho obseivers will ply their poluriscopes lo de termine wlntber tho light be original or re flected. Then they will pass its beams through the prism; if they see a long eprctrum, colored with all the tiuts of the ralubow, they will kuow tbat they ore looking upon masses of solid or liquid matter In combustion; if this spectrum Is crossed by black Hues, they will know that its light ou Its way to the earth bus been intercepted by tbe vapors or certain metals and by certaiu gases, w hich they will recognize, by the positions of the lines; but 1', instead of the rainbow-tinted ribbon, they see only certain leoiatcu origni line?, hko colored threads strctchud across the fields of their spectroscopes, they will kuow that they are looking upon materials so intensely heated that they have assumed tho paseous coLdittou; and by the rositions and colors of these threads of liht hey will be able to ascertain to some extent what these materials are. And what tbey will do tor the red excrescences, tbey will eudeavor to do also lor the corona, that they may learn something of the lipht wherewith it shiues. So that the most important questions bearing upon tbe sun's constitution and structure are to tie solved when he is out of sight! A strange anomaly; but nature is forever playing at hide-unri-srpk with mou. To do justice to thcee observations, two well furnished expeditions have beeu orgauized in this country, respectively under the auspices of the Royal and the Royal Aetrouomical Socie ties. Lieutenant Ilersehcl (a son of Sir John), of the Indian Survey stair, takes charge of the former, and Major Teunant, of the same ser vice, directs the latter. Both have beeu supplied wiih excellent telescopes and polarizing and spectrHliziug apparatus; Major Teunant, iu ad dition, having secured the manufacture for the occasion ot a valuable reflecting telescope of large size, for the purpose of photographing tho eclipse phenomena. Other officers of the survey staff will be dispersed along the track of tho eclipse, and will be armed with spectroscopes, aud such appli.inces as the country may afford, in order that what is lost by bad weather in one spot may bo secured elsewhere. Other coun tries, too, will have their expeditions. Franco furnishes two and Prussia one, aud for these handsome sums of money have beeu voted; aud posg'bly his Holiness the Pope may teud Padro Secchi to the spot, though at pieseut pecuniary difficulties stand in the way. Altogether, we may hope that an important page of scientific history will be that which records the reults of tbe great eclipse of August 17, 18G8. Gentle men's Magazine, FURNISHING GOOPS,SHIRTS,C H.
