THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, AUGUST 17, 1668. 8 CITY INTELLIGENCE. Iron ABWTromx, wcal ithmb iotip A Mllty lilw to Veil Im tho lai, ..4 CitM KtU 1 Ok.MI. When the clocfcs of the dty mark 933 to nlcht the moon, ueor the period of sunrise In India,' will paw over the Bun and create a solar fdi ne'e lasting fully six minutes aad from forty lo liily seeoods. It will be the most remark able solar eclipse that has taken place within historic tiniea, or that will take place for many hundreds of years. A black shadow upwards of 140 irrttcs In diameter, surrounded by a penumbra 4000 miles wide, will sweep trora the eastern parts ot Alrica across the Arabian Sea, the Indian peninsula, and the East Indian Archipelago a distance of more than 8000 Solnr eclipses are paused by the earth's passing Into the shadow of the moon. As the moon is much smaller than the sun, its shadow runs rapid I v to a point, and never covers more than a small portion 01 mr varm; uculo iiuvuu meoon of a total eclipse is very rarely seen. Uut as the cone of the moon's shadow is sur rounded bv a larger inverted cone of penumbra, i. ., ot spac; in which the moon intercepts a part ot the light, the opportunl.ies ot seeing a partial eclipse of the sun are much more fre quent. The Instant of entering the penumbra Is sharply defined by an apparent indentation tu the limb of the firu, and that ot entering the Bbadow by the total disappearance ot the sun. The records of astronomy contain but few Accounts of lolnr eclipses. Probably the first well-ob-erved eclipse was one which took place Way 12, 1706: but concerning this phenomena We have no accurate data, because the records refer chiefly to such effects as were visible to the naked eye. Another solar eclipse occurred in 1715, and one in 1773. In 1812 ocsurrcd a total eclipse of the sun ot several miuutes' duta'ion, and in 1851 the enrth was darkened by anoilier colar eclipse. The shadow paths of most of theo eclipses passed over Europe. In 18U0 occurred the famous eclipse which was most lavoiably visible In accessible parts of Spain. Observations made at this time ry the most eminent lutionomers of Europe, settled In the ail'jrrmtnc the long disputed point whether there were red protuberances of the sun. The qu stion as to what these rosy prominences consist -ot will doubtless be partially, if not wholly, solved by tne discoveries In connection with the 17th ot August eclipse. The -average apparent dimensions of the sun exceed thoFe of the moon. But both bodies vary in appurent magnitude- the moon more than the sun. -I'erhaps many will be surprised to learn that we receive fully one-fourth more light from some full moons than from others, owing to the variation of her apparent magnitude. Accord ingly, when she is at her lurmeM, and the sun at his smallest, she is uble to hide him wholly from our view, and considerably to overlap his disc all rouud. In the approaching solar eclipse the un being near its upogee, will in diameter appear comparatively small, while the moon being in its perigee will have a large apparentdiameter. The moon being besides in its ascending node, its cone ot shadow will pas over the equator, whereby the time of the eclipse will be much prolonged. It is estimated from scientific observations that the eclipse will occupy an area of 2000 miles in leua th and thirty miles in width. Its extraordinary duration nearly seven minutes will enable astronomers to make the most exteoded observation and research, and ought to afford more satisfactory results In ecientiac investigation than any celestial phe nomenon ever witnessed by man. There is cause for regret in the circumstance that this marvellous spectacle can only be wit nessed in situations tar removed lrom the world's centre of civilization; for the shadowy pa'h ot the moon passes over India, the Malay Peninsula and the Oriental Islands. Tne ecliose commences on the itiaud ot Perlm. wh'ch is tituated in the Gulf of Cambay. Hindostan about ten milts southeast of Couo, a maritime town of British India: appearing about sunrise at Aden, a seai ort town of Arabia, on the east side of Cape Aden. In the course ot the morn ing the spectacle passes over the western part ot the East Indies, reaching the Tenas-erim Provinces, in Farther f udia, about noou, thereafter pa-sing over Borneo, Galebes, nod nianv other islands of the Malaccas, reach ing New Guinea about sundown. But the ex treme remoteness ot the fields of observation has in no wise deterred scientific men from nrerarintr to wiluesB this rare I henomcnon on the grandest possible scale. Expeditions for .hsprvniions have been eouipned in various parts ot Europe under the guidance of the most eminent men of f cience. expensive instruments have been nurchased. Governments have fur- niKhpd tunas with the greatest prodigality scientific societies have contributed the most material assistance, and there is reason to expect that the results will amply repay all the labor and thoueht that have beeu expended. The scientific men of England hive organized two expeditious respectively under the auspices t the Koyal, and the Hoyal Astronomical Socie ties, with Lleutpnant llerschel (a son of Sir John) at the head ot the former, and Major Tennact in charge ot the latter. Austria seuas out an expe. dition. The French Government scuds out M, Jan-en. the eminent observer, at the head of a well appointed expedition. The Pope sends out Father Secchi. Certainly the eclipse will be well watched uuless the weather should unfor tunatclv orove uniavorable. Nor will observers at home be altogether idle. The careful survey of the sun'n disc for several days betore and alter the jrreat eclipse will doubtless be carefully attended to by eminent students ot solar physics. The .English astronomers have chosen the East Indies as their dUtrict for observation, and the officers of the survey staff will be dispersed along the track of the eclipse well supplied with all the tippiiunces necessary lor taking the most e)abo late views. The French expedition will be sta tioned on the Malay Peninsula, principally at Malacca. The Austrian astronomers will be located at the Arabian town of Aden, their acene of operations, however, extending much further along the path of the eclipse. The other expeditions will be scattered over India. There are nmnv perplexing problems In astro nouiv that will doumless be cleared up bv tne results of observations during the approaching clipse. Perhaps the most Important thing to determine, and to the settlement of which the most acute scientific skill will bn directed is relutive to the exact nature of the red excre ceuoes upon the sun, whether they be solid or euueoue, and whetuer the light by which the mu seems surrounded is original or reflected Another point to be determined It possible Is whether there exists an unknown planet be tween Meroury and the sun, a belief that has been a long time current In astronomical minds. To this matter the attention of the saoans ac- corrpanving the French expedition will be spe ciall ydirccied. Total eclipoe always affords oppor tunittes lor making interesting observations on physical phenomena and on the emotions of the animal tribes, the most' singular optical liect being the occasional i-smug of rose- colored tltuies from tho sun during the total phase. Uuluckil v the south west mousojn will be at its full hemht about August 10, and with its heavy clouds may reuder observatious either uncertain or impossible, except on the eastern side of the mountain ranges. But if this anticipated dtjlicuity does not Intervene, and the weal her otherwise proves favorable, we mav expct that the larious observations of the great oltreelip-e will Ue of the greatest importance to scientific history. On another pae will be found an interesting historicja bketch of the principal solar eclipse of U'e paM. C.uh'Ai.tieb.

Almost every separate Lodie had its "red man," the live, genuine Indian, bedaubed with paint, bedizened with willows, girt with weapons. In stately gravity they walked along." One bore a hugo pipe, another a huge spear. 8everal were on hor-es; the maiority, however, went on foot. The children thronging the curbstones gazed at them with a species of childish wonder, not unmingled with fear, and even the elders standing aronnd threw three glanect at them, but one at their companions, marching berore and behind. As you looked on them you could not but associate them with the frequent re ports of savage barbarities in the tar West, and perhaps this very association produced most of that interest with which they were regarded. So much for the Indians. The other members of the order all wore their usual red scarfs, figured with emblems, over their shoulders. They marched two abreast. In a sort of military style, and kept most excellently in order. Their marshals and captains, bearing batons, walked by their side. Banners were numerous. Some lesser in size were carried by a sturdy German ; others, longer, erected on a table-like frame work, required four or five to hear them. They all looked bright and new. and were very pretty.

That was all rieht, however, though some of the bystanders did smile. Crowds of people lined the streets cars and other vehicles were stayed. In the neighbor hood of Third and Chesnut streets the thorough fare was fairly blockd. From every window peered faces. Barouehes containing the "dig nitaries" were snrinitieu nere ana inero along the line. The "Moguls'' were eclipsed, however, by the "Indians." The music was excellent.

The following from the Detroit A ivtrtiter, el baturdsy lost, gives additional details: Thursday night, while off Point aux Barrineft. Lake Huron, just at the southerly entrance ta Saginaw Bay, a collision occurred between tha propeller Empire (State, bound up, and the three. masted schooner Dunoorberg, bound down. Tha latter sunk soon after the occurrence. Tha Dnndcrberir was owned bv Messrs. Trowbridge. Wilcox A Co., of Detroit, and valued at $55,000. pne was oouna aown trom (Jhicago, and had on board, besides her crew, a number of pasengert. including Mr. and Mr?. George Falrbrother, Mrs. o.

Her hall is In- eared lor $35,000 and the carco for Slfioo. Tht vessel was quite new, having been built dnrintr tne winter ot 1866 by J. M. Jonea & Co. tor tho owners. She was first hauled out iu the stream early in the spring of 18G7. and commenced ope rations in the trade for which she was con structed in July of that year. She was one of tho nnesi vessels on me lanes. Arier the collision occurred the propeller Empire State hove to and rendered all the assistance she could. All tha passengers, excepting Mrs. Wilcox, escaned from the sinking vessel on board ot the pro peller, and were by her conveyed down to Port Huron where they were transferred to tha stenmer Dove and brought to Detroit. The passengers' version of tho collision is substantially as follows: The collisiou tools place between 10 and 11 o'clock. Tho nlgh was not .dark, by ay mans, at a distance of three or four miles. Captain Green, of tha Dunderberp, with all his ollicers and crew, wera ou duty at the time, the former having pre viously announced that he would not sleep on account of their being in what Is regarded a dangerous part of tho lake, from tho fack that it is always more or less crowded with, steamers and sailing craft. All on board tha Dunderberg saw the Empire State approach lug, but none apprehended any danger until she came near the vessel, when for the flrat tlrua they feared a collision. Every effort was mada by voice and gesture to sienal the officer in charge of the propeller to steer clear, but every thing proved unavailing. A fearful crash fol lowed. The propeilec struck the schooner between the main and mlzzen masts, on the port side, crushing In her plunks and timbers, and making a hole several feet lu depth, and cutting her down below the water's edge. When it became apparent that a collision would occur. the captain ot the utinrierberg ordered all his passengers out of the cnbiu. and they all suc ceeded in getting upon the deck when the crash came.
