Venus and several other stars were visible. During the eclipse there was a still', cool breeze. No results of scien tilic, observations aro yet at hand. Iionsv ii. i.k, August 7. Tin; (ourier-.lot'.r-nal has the follow ing special telegrams from Shclbyville, Ky., giving an account of scien tific observations made there to-day: "The observations made here to-day were very satisfactory, and in many respects grati fying. The following 1 ersons comprised tho joint hoard of obseivatiou for Slielbyville: Professor .lames Winton,of Harvard Univer sity, in charge of observations of phenomena, assisted bp Alh.m Clark, prolessor, of Catn liritlge; George W . Dean, of the U. S. ('oast Survey, in charge of observations of precision, assisted by V. Blake, Jr., of the Coast Survey; J. A. AVipple, of Boston, as sisted by George Clark and .1. l'rendorast, had charge ot the photographs. Professor G. M. Sesirle, of New York, devoted himself to the observation of general phenomena, and (hiring the total phase was to search for inter lnerciii ial planets. "Sub-Assistant T. If. Agnew also devoted himself to observations of general phenomena, and 1 tn '1 charge of the observatory arrange ments, being assisted by K. E. Shairod, (if Louisville. The meteorological observations were made by 1'rolcssor Seymour, of Louis ville, and Ivolnrt Lewis, of Shelby vill Among tin; amateurs present was Mr. Bowditch, ol Boston, son of the celebrated astronomer. One ol the important discoveries made by l'rof. Winlock, at the spectroscope, was ele ven bright lines in the spectrum of the protu berances of the sun, only five having hereto fore been determined. He also observed a shower of meteouM between the earth and moon. The partv are jubilant over their suc cess. Photographs of the sun were taken at diU'crciit times. During the partial obscuration the beautiful red flames or solar protuberances were visible to the naked eye. "Bailey's beads, as well as the dark and dis mal shadows of the moon sailing away through the air, were noted by a party of amateurs sta tioned on the top ot Shelby College. The sky was perfectly clear, and everything stunned to propitiate the success of the observations. There were ton or twelve mounted instruments in use on the occasion, the principal one of which was the Slielbyville College telescope, which was handled by Professor Winlock, as sisted by Allen G. Clark, of Cambridge, Mass. This is a line instrument, costing SlUUO, and it once ranked third i:i the L'nited States. "Arcturus, Vega, Venus anil Mercury were visible to the naked eje during the total phase. Mr. Searle, whose duty it was to search for in termercurial planets, did not succeed in finding any, reporting nothing fainter than Kcgulus near the sun. AVheii the sunlight commenced to become dim, a largo number of citizens rushed to tho college grounds, the headquar ters of the observers. Some tninutcs before the total phase the usual phenomena of dis traction among birds of the air and cattle oc curred. Sk minutes before totality a deathly ashen hue overspread the countenances of all present, and for a while the faint-hearted were terrified. I lie scene during the totality was an awful one. When the sunlight appeared again a shout of exultation went up from the great crowd in t he college grounds." Lorisvu.i.K, August . 1 lie weather to-day was clear, and thousands assembled in the streets to view the solar eclipse. The first ex ternal contact commenced at 4 h. 2o niin. 1 sec; the beginning of the total eclipse was at ") h. 2") niin. 25 sec.; the duration of the sani..', 1! niin. 51 sec.; the end of tho eclipse, 0 h. - min. "S sec. The part of the sun lirst ob scured wa.s IS degrees north of west. During the total immersion the scene was intensely interesting. The sky w as of a dark bluish tint, and surrounding objects of a copper color. Several stars were plainly seen, among them Venus, Mercury ami Jupiter. Cincinnati, August 7. The eclipse at tracted great attention. At the time of the greatest obscuration, about half-past live o'clock, gas was lighted, and a deep strange shadow settled down upon tho entire city; the atmosphere had a yellowish appearance and indistinct clouds skirted tho western horizon. Stars were distinctly seen. The mercury fell to seventy degrees at the time of tho greatest obscuration. Des MoiNKs,Iowa, August 7. An unclouded sky allowed the many observers gathered here to witness the eclipse with great distinctness, a slight haze only interfering to prevent satis factory search for the planets supposed to exist inside the orbit of Mercury. According to Prolessor J. n. Sallbrd's observations, the lirst contact occurred at Oh. 4:iin. Ms. The commencement of the total obscurity was 4h. 4"m. oils. The end of the totality was 4h. 48m. 22s, The last contact was oh. lorn. lis. These points of time are from ti to 22 seconds later than calculated according to Washing ton, E. P. Nimenis and Prolessor llillgard observing it. Another point noted was a dis crepancy between the calculation and observa tion of the corona. It was nearly rhonihoidal in form, and very distinct, and extended at some points half a degree beyond the edge of the sun's disc. The rose-colored protuberances appeared to the number of five or six, the greatest being on the sun's southwestern quarter. Professor llavkness' observations of the protuberances in the spectroscope showed a different spectra for each; but a single band was thrown by the corona. Professor East man's observations of the thermometer showed a lall of thirteen degrees in the temperature during the progress of the eclipse. The total obscuration lasted 2 minutes and 52 J seconds. Venus and Mercury were distinctly visible to the naked eye. Tho darkness exceeded that of the night, and the most interesting feature in the aspect of the sun was the protuberances or beads. . The largest one, already mentioned, was semicircular in shape, with a finger extending sav one-eighth part of the sun's diameter di rectly dow nw ard as one looked. Another, on the right limb, was shaped much like the two horns of an antelope, 'the greatest lengtn oi the corona was in the direction ol the ecliptic Vintennes. Ind., August 7. Tho eclipse was seen here under the most favorable cir cumstances. The sky was perfectly clear. It d at 4.17: was total at 5.15, and ended at C.12. The corona was very brilliant, civiiitr about as much light ns an ordinary moon. Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter, were plainly seen, but none of tho fixed stars ap t i'ii VIM I . sim FiiAMisfo. August 7.

During tho total obscuration the stars shone about as brightly as at night, und chickens went to roost three quartern of nn hour earlier than usual. Business was almost suspended in the city, so great was the impression produced. CiiAiti.KsTON, August 7. The eclipse com menced at 4.4", and covered two-thirds of the disc of the sun. The weather was clear. Kit iivoni), August 7. The solar eclipse to day brought out the population on housetops and in the streets, armed with smoked glass for obsoi vatioii. The weather was clear. Boston, August 7 The eclipse was ob scured hereby floating clouds. Npw YoitK," August 7. The solar eclipse was observed by hundreds and thousands f people in this vicinity. During a portion ot the time light clouds passed over the face of the sail, but did not in any degree all'ect the sublimity of the spectacle. When the eclipse Was at its height the rays of the sun presented to the naked eye a wavy appearance, like an aurora borealis, and the clouds in that portion of the heavens were rich with rare colors. As tronomers say that no protuberances in the sun were seen here. V amiinoton, August 7. The solar eclipse this afternoon was witnessed by many persons en housetops, ill addition to throngs every where in the streets. The weather was clear and cool. Occasionally light clouds intervened, when there was a good view of the phenome non with the naked eye. Tho previous de M iiptions of the appearance of the sun were realized. Shortly after tho greatest obscura tion began to pass away a soft bright sunlight w as gradually reflected upon the earth, and all kinds of business, which had been suspended, was renewed. CnicAoo, August 8. The eclipse at Spring field, 111., was a startling and sublime pheno menon. 1 he sky was pcrieetly clear. J. rot. Pcaico, of Harvard, had charge of the obser vations, which were made near the city reser voir, one nundrcd photographs ol the eclipse were taken. When the total obscuration took place, the heavens and earth presented a scene of awful sublimity. A brilliant amber colored corona appeared around the sun and moon, shooting rays of light outw ard in every direction. The planets Mercury and Venus, and a num ber of fixed stars were distinctly visible, but no planetoids between Mercury and the sun were discovered. The brilliant rose-colored llaine or protuberance was noticed on the west- em limb of tho sun during the period of total obscuration, and Bailey s beads were distinctly seen. At Mattoon observations were made by Pro fessor ti. W. Hough, of Albany; Professor Murray, of Rutgers College, New Brunswick, N.J., and others. 1 hey used ordinary tele scopes. In the observations taken the phenomena corresponded precisely with the computations previously made. Six spots were visible on the sun before the eclipse, two of which were very prominent, and the others much less. The cusps on the moon had a ragged and blurred appearance, and as the eclipse pro gressed toward totality the torni of tho moon became visible. BaileyVboads were seen distinctly by all the observers, extending through an arc of at least fifty degrees. Tho moment the eclipse became total, the flame-like protuberances were seen with wonderful distinctness one very largo one on the lower limb of the sun, ami three, nearly as large, on the upper limb; while at least seven or eight of them in all were visible. The one on the right hand, or lower limb, had somewhat the appearance of a full-rigged ship, with sails set. Ill its part nearest the moon were two or three jet black spots. To the naked eye it seemed as though there were fissures or openings in the moon, two on the east, and one on the southwest side. Just after the total eclipse, through throe openings, the lurid glow of the sun was dis tinctly visible. The corona was not as gener ally described in the books, a halo of light surrounding the moon, but was distinctly seen to be a live-pointed prong on the lower and a two-pointed prong on the upper circumference of the moon. These points presented a radi ant appearance. The generally received theory regarding this corona, that it is the atmosphere of the sun, does not seem to be sustained by the observations made at this point. It is con jectured that the corona is in some way caused by the phenomena of light passing through the atmosphere. Although search was made, no planetary botlies were observed between Mercury and the sun. During the totality phase, Mercury, Venus, Regulus,Mars, Saturn, Dcnbota and other stars were visible. The temperature in the shade at the beginning of the eclipse was 77 degrees, during the totality 45 degrees, anil at the end of the eclipse it had risen to 7t degrees. At ::.40 P. M. in the sun on the grass it was o:i degrees, and a few moments after 4 P. M. rose to 102 degrees, while (luring the total eclipse it fell to !',() degrees, but subsequently rose to cU.

A correspondent of tho London Athemvwn writes ns follows: Mr. FergusHon, in his splendid work on "Tree and Serpent Worship," remarks tha' traces of tho latter aro "found harking in out-of-the-way corners of the globe, startling us nt times with the unhallowed rites which seem generally to havo been associated with its prevalence,'' It may, therefore, interest that learned gentleman to know that soma singular rites und ceremonies, which nppoar to havo been handed down from remote heathen times, are still to bo found iu full force at Luchon, in the Pyrenees, whoro it is customary, on tho Kvo of St. John, to sacri fice living serpents, by means of a tiory and somewhat cruel ordeal, in tho following man ner: A hollow column, composed of Htrong wicker-work, is raised to tho height of about sixty feet in tho centre of tho principil suburb; ami interlaced with green foliage up to tho very top; while tho most beautiful flowers and shrubs procurable are artistically arranged in groups below, so as to form a sort of background to the scene. The column is then filled with com bustible materials, ready for ignition. At an appointed hour nbout s P. M. a grand pro cession, composed of the clergy, followed by young men and maidens iu holiday attire, pour forth from the town chanting hymns, and take up their position around the column. Meanwhile, bonfires aro lit, with beautiful effect, in tbosurroumlinghtlls. As many living serpents as could bo collected aro now thrown into the column, which is set on tiro at the base, by means of torches, armed with which about fifty boys and men dance around wkh fiantic gestures. The serpents, to avoid the flames, wrigglo their way to tho top, whence they are seen lashicg out laterally until finally i1iIil;i d to drop, their struggles lor hie giving rise to enthusiastic delight among the sur rounding spectators. This is a favorite annual ceremouy for tho inhabitants of Luchon nnd its neighborhood, and local tradition assigns to it a heathen origin. In connection with Mr. Fergusson's nvestigatioiis, it may bo worthy of further inquiry; 1 have, therefore, ventured on a sim ple narration of facts, ns witnessed by my self and sevend other English visitors to Luchon at midsummer last.
