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
