The members of the Franklin Institute wore treated
last evening, on the occasion of their Urat stated
meeting this fall, to the finest exhibition of photo
graphic views of a solar eclipse ever given in this
country. Prof. Morton, Keslrtent Secretary to
Whom Is due the major credit for the effective organ
ization of the Philadelphia Photojf raphlc Expedition
to observe the solar eclipse, and tho excellent nega
tives they were aide to obtain clearly explained
the construction of the delicate apparatus made ex
pressly for the corps, and illustrated everything by
well-dellncd Images cast upon a screen. Vpon an In
side page of Thic Tki.kukaph will be found "Eclipse
Notes," extracted from the Franklin Inxtitute Jour
nal, which, In connection with the following outline
of last evening's address, will give our readers an
Interesting summary of the late solar phenomena,
and tho hypotheses deduced therefrom. Nothing,
however, but a personal lnspuctlon of the enlarged
photographs, like that given last night by the suc
cessful magnifying of seven distinct views taken
during totality, can give a vivid conception of the
exact and wonderful solar pictures obtained ; and it
is a pleasure to note that during the coming wintjr
season our citizens will probably be favored with a
popular lecture on the eclipse by I'rof. Morton at the
Academy of Music, illustrated by a profusion of
photographic and other experiments.
The Professor said : The main point to which at
tention was directed, was the arrangement of the
instruments for their photographic work. It was a
question of much moment to decide whether they
would follow the plan adopted by the French and tier
man expeditions of last year, and make the photo
graph In the principal focus of the object-glass, thus
securing great intensity of light In a small imajre, or
follow the method employed by Do la Hue In 1S00,
when he used an ordinary Ilygenlan eye-piece so
placed as to produce an enlargement of the first
Image from the objective. After a careful study of
De la Hue's report aud pictures, as also those of the
later expeditions, be came to the conclusion that the
plan of enlargement presented many advantages
and should bo followed with certain mo UUcatlons,
Which he would describe.
To the face-plate of the camera tho eye-ploco tub
was attached, its other end being screwed to tho
telescope. The diaphragm plate moved across the
axis of the Instrument, being drawn downwards by
the combined spring. The strength of this spring
could be reduced by raising the outer end of one or
both the nppcrstrips so as to disengage the forks at
their end from the lower spring, and then turning
them forward In a direction normal to the front of
the box, out of the way.
The spring was attached to the diaphragm plate by
a swivel hook, which, while in no Instance falling
out, could be detached and readjusted with the
greatest facility.
A number of diaphragm plates were provided,
,ltn Bllts respectively of l-40th, l-30th, 1-aoth, and
l?10th of an inch In width. These plates could be
itadily Interchanged, and, in combination with the
springs, gave a very wide and yet delicate series of
fixed adjustments for the times of exposure.
To make the exposure, the plate was drawn up
until the projecting pin could be caught on the lever,
which would then retain it. On depressing the outer
end of this lever, however, the hold on the pin was
disengaged, and tho plate Hashed across the axis of
the tube, allowing the light to traverse the narrow
slit as It Hew past The plate was then arrested on
the end of the second lever. When an exposure of
Borne seconds was required, as during the totality, a
plate having a round orliice exposing the entire Ueld
of the eye-piece was substituted for the one with
the narrow slit, and was o arranged that, when
caught by the upper lever, it covered the lens, but
when fallen to the second lever, exposed it entirely;
when, however, this lever was in turn touched, the
plate descended again far enough to once more
close the lens. By touching these twg levers In suc
cession. It was then possible to make a "time ex
posure'1 with great nicety and accuracy, as proved by
actual experience during the eclipse.
To secure a chronographic record of each expo
sore, a binding screw was provided to ntake one con
nection with the general mass of the face-plate, In
cluding the lower and upper levers, to carry on the
circuit when the downward motion of the lever
brought the spring at its side in contact with the
point projecting. In raising the lever for a new ex
posure, tho spring at Its side was pressed back so as
to pass the point without contact. A more substan
tial break-piece would have been made had time al
lowed, but this was found to operate In a perfectly
satisfactory manner.
As the operation of the eye-piece, when employed
to produce an image on the screen or ground glass
of a camera, is essentially dlil'erent from that which
it performs in its usual ottlce, It was judged best by
Mr. Zentmuyer to make some alterations in its form.
Thus, In the tirst place, since in the present case tho
"eye-lens" of the eye-piece undoubtedly makes a
secondary image of the primary image formed within
the eye-piece by the combined action or the objec
tive and the lltld lens of the eye-piece, it is clearly
desirable to make this lens of a longer focus than
.Usual, so that its errors may be of less account. It
was also essential to give the new eye-piece a wide
angle, so as to secure a suillcient Held not only for
the solar disc, but also for the corona.
The reticule was mounted on a short tube, with a
fine thread on the outside running In a corresponding
thread on the Inside of the eye-piece tnlc. Tills being
approximately adjusted beforehand, was moved to
Its exact place by taming it with a sharp point
through a little slot cut in the eye-piece tube.
It was found by experiments made previous to
starting, that, with a clear sun, it was necessary to
reduce the aperture of this telescope (which was 4
Inches, with U inches focus) to yt inches, and to
use all three springs and the diaphragm-slide of 1-40
Inch aperture, in order to get a proper exposure
when the solar image was enlarged from 6 inches (its
diameter at the principal focus of the objective) to
V. inches on the ground glass. The same size of
aperture was adopted for the lnrger Instruments
during the partial phases, the entire aperture, in ull
cases, of course, being-used during totality.
A number of experiments were made by Mr. Wll
lard, at this time, In photographing tho moon, which
were of great value in settling the time or exposure
which would probably be required In the total phase,
lie found that a good Impression could be obtained
of the full iiloon in about one minute, and that an
abundantly strong one could be secured with an ex
posure of three minutes. From this and the deduc
tions of De la Hue, that the Ugh'' of the prominence i
was 180 times as great as that of the full moon, It
appeared that an exposure of from one-third or a
second to ouo second, during totality, would have
been suillcient to secure images of these bodies
I'or the corona, of courso a much longer exposure
would be required; but no estimate could be made
as to what would be its duration.
At the Burlington station, a photographic record
of the first contact was secured, by exposing plates,
in ran Id succession, about the calculated time, A
very good result was thus obtained. At Mount
Pleasant, we placed a plate ready lu the camera, aud
then waited a signal from Professor Wats -it, of the
TiniverHitv of Michigan, who. with his party, was on
the ground with us, and was watchlug for the lirss
contact. We thus obtained a picture showing a very
slight Indentation. By measurement of this, the time
of actual first contact can be reached by calculation
yet more precisely than would be posot ale with any
eye ooservaiion.
niiHni th nartlal nhases. accurately timed expo
Bures were made by all parties. The slide making
the exposure nan an aperture oi uuijr i-wm oi u men,
urhiin t.im time of exDosuro is lueclmnnteally shown
to have been but 1-000 of a second. Tho delicate
mechanism used for this end, already partially de
scribed, worked several reuunmia; I'fii. ui inu murso
inurnment. Aii electric discharge was passed from
the brass plate of the elide through the trigger at the
instant of its fall for an exposure, and was then re-
corded as a dot on a moving Blip of paper. A similar
connection with a chronometer Indicated In dots on
the same slip each second of time ; thus it was only
a matter of careful measurement to ascertain tho
time and lengtn oi eacu negnuvc.

snots vlbible at the time (about six in number) with
admirable definition, the larger ones being sur

also, a distinct granulation over the general surface

THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY,
It Is a curious coincidence that, In this caso, an
well as In the pictures made by l)e la Hue in lRB-t,
and the Herman and English party last year, all the
more Interesting prominences are situated on the
border of the suu furthest from the advancing moon,
and are thus best shown In tho pictures first ex
posed. The most conspicuous prominence is that which,
at a hasty glance, resembles the letter X, but on
more careful inspection Is perceived to be like an
ear or corn. Tho appearance of tho main body,
which is of a spindle shnno, and with spiral mark
ings, is highly suggestive or a vertical motion which
has swept these whin's of light matter in(o their
peculiar positions.
Immediately to tho right of this car of corn Is soon
a region of soft light, among which rise two similar
spindle-shaped masses inclining towards the corn ear.
To the left appears a mass of rolling cloud dls-
fiosed In bcautiiul streams and curls, like the smoke
rom a bonllre or burning meadow, swept gently
towards one sldo by a light wind. In connection
with these arc some small masses, entirely detached
and floating above the general body, as was the case
in De la Hue's pictures.
Other solid nodular masses appear at other points;
but the next most notable prominence Is one which
attracted the attention of all observers, and appeared
to occupy a position on the lowermost edge of the
sun. It Is most clearly shown In the last pictures
taken at each station, and resembles in shape a great
whale, with a body made np of dense cuinulous
cloud matter, with a long tall clinging close to the
solar edge, and stretching some 40,000 miles along.
The length of the entire mass Is about 110,000 miles,
and the height of Its more bulky portion about 2S,ooo
miles, while Its length being about 70,000 miles, we
would have for Its cubic capacity, assuming that Its
extent in the remaining direction Is equal to its
height, about 84,8so .oon,nol ,000 cubic miles.
To t lie right or tills, and only showing 'Its entire
length in the last picture of each series, is a cater-plUur-IIke
mass of cloud matter, very much like the
solid rolls of horizontal vapor which are sometimes
seea passing over a sheet of water. At one end
rises a projecting head, but the rest clings closely to
the solar edge, anil Is indented with ring-like divi
sions, giving it much the aspect of a huge worm.
The ottumwa pictures, of long exposure, are the
only ones which give us any Idea of the true struc
ture of the corona, one of them, the last anil long
est exposed, gives almost as lull a development to
thlB object as was noticed with' the naked eye; tho
curved structure of the rays, and the varying inten
sity with which they are emitted in dlil'erent points,
are most marked.
The brightest outbursts or the corona light ore
evidently associated with those prominences which
are of a pointed and tlame-like shape; those or a
massive description, on the contrary, seeming to cast
a shadow on tho corona; this, wc think, is to be no
ticed in Do la Hue's pictures.
It would seem almost certain that the corona is
simply an eleetvic discharge, no doubt varying with
great rapidity, as we see in the case of the aurora,
and to its variations we may attribute those appa
rent motions of the prominences which have been
observed by so many, but which our large series or
pi'Atcrauhs so conclusively shows not to have bw
any actual exls tehee.

THE DURABILITY OF
PATENT WOOD HANGINGS
HAS BEEN THOROUGHLY TESTED DUR
ING THE PAST WINTER. HOT ROOMS,
EXPOSED TO FURNACE OR OTHER HEAT,
WITH MORE OR LESS STEAM, THE WALLS
OF WHICH HAVE BEEN COVERED FOR A
YEAR, ARE NOW IN AS GOOD CONDI
TION AS WHEN THE WOOD WA8 FIRST
HUNG,
WITHOUT CRACKING, BLISTERING,
