From the journal of tte Franklin Institute,

interesting extracts:
oliir rromlncncc
In a lato lec ture at tlio Koyal Institution Mr.
Lockyer Bnld as follows:
'UhouKli I ul ' Rcncrally best for sketch
Intr purposes to have tho open ellt in a radial
direction, I have lately placed It at a tangent to
the limb, In order to study the general outline
f the chromosphere, which in a previous com
munication I stated to ho pretty uniform, while
M. JanFsen hns characterized it as 'a nirran
fort inrnal el tourim-nte.' My opinion is now
(hat jmrhaps tho mean of these two descriptions
is, ns tisnal, nearer the truth, unless the surface
changes its character to a largo extent from
time to time. 1 find, too, that in different parts
tho outline varies; hero it is undulating and bil
lowy; there it is ragurcd to a degree, (lames, as it
were, darting out of the general surface, and
forming a ragged, fleecy, interwoven outlino,
which in places is nearly even for some dis
' tancc, and, like tho billowy sirrfncc, becomes
excessively uneven in the neighborhood of a
prominence. According to my present limited
experience of theso exquisitely beautiful solar
appendages, it is generally possible to see the
whole of their structure; but sometimes they are
of such dimensions along the line of sight that they
nppcar to bo much denser than usual, and m
there is no longer under these circumstances any
background to the central portion, only tho de
tails of the margins can be observed, in addition
to the varying brightnesses. Moreover. It docs
not at all follow that the largest prominences
are those in which tho intensest action, or tho
most rapid change, is going on tho action as
visible to us being generally confined to the
regions just in or above the chromosphere, tho
changes arising irom violent uprush or rapid
dissipation, the uprush and dissipation repre
senting the birth and death of a prominence. As
a rule, the attachment to the chromosphere is
narrow and is not often single; higher up the
stems, so speak, intertwine, and the prominence
expands and soars upwards until it is lost in
delicate filaments, which arc carried away in
lloating masses.
"Since last October, up to the time of trying
the method of using the open slit, I had ob
tained evidence of considerable changes in the
prominences from day to day. With the open
slit it is at once evident that changes on the
email scale are continually going on; it was ouly
on the 14th inst. that I observed any change at
all comparable in magnitude and rapidity to
those already observed by M. Jansscn. About !)
hours 45 minutes on that day, with a tangential
tlit I observed a lino dense prominence near the
Bun's equator, oil the eastern limb. I tried to
sketch it with the slit in this direction; but its
border was so full of detail, and the atmospheric
conditions were so unfavorable, t'.iat I gave up
the attempt in despair. I turned the instrument
, round !)0 degrees, and narrowed the slit, and my
attention was at once taken by the F line; a
fingle look at it taught me that an injection
into the croniospliero and intense action were
taking place. At 10 hours 50 minutes, when
the action was slackening, I opened the
elit; I say at once that tbe dense appear
ance had all disappeared, and cloud-liko fila
ments had taken its place. The lirst sketch,
embracing an irregular prominence with a long
perfectly straight one;, which I call A, was fin
ished at'll hrs. 5 min., the height of the promi
nence being 1 min. 5 sec, or about 27,000 miles.
1 left the observatory for a few minutes, and on
returning at 11 hrs. 15 min., I was astonished to
find that part of the prominence A had entirely
disappeared; not even the slightest rack ap
peared iu its place; whether it was entirely dissi
pated, or whether parts of it had been wafted
towards the other pans, I do not kuow, although
1 think the latter explanation the more proba
ble one, as the other part had increased."
Mr. Lockyer threw a line picture of this storm
in the sun upon the screen.
Radiation of Ilea t from the .lloon.
The Earl of llossc Is making a series of ex
periments by means of a thcrnio-pilo of four
elements and a three-foot telescope, to deter
mine, if possible, what proportion of the moon's
heat consists of: 1. That coining from the
interior of the moon, which will not vary with
the phage: 2. That which falls from the sun on
' the moon's surface, and is at once reflected
regularly and irregularly: !3. That which falling
from the sun on the moon's surface is absorbed,
raises the temperature of the moon's surface,
and is afterwards radiated as heat of low refran
gibility. The chief result arrived at up to the
present moment is, that (the radiating power of
the moon being taken a eqiuii to lampblack,
and the earth's atmosphere supposed not to
affect the result) a deviation of !0 degrees for
full moon appears to indicate an elevation of
temperature equal to 500 degrees Fahrenheit.
The relative amount of solar and lunar radiation
was found equal to SOoISJ : 1.
Action of KiinliKht on IHiiirrnl Oils.
8omo curious experiments, recently made by
IT 1... r . , . J
j-ivii iiuiuw!?R , on mu uciiuu oi Biiniigm upon i
mineral oils, show that when the different kinds
of petroleum oils are exposed to the influence of 1
funiliirht. tbev nlisnrli nvviwn fivu.i i if) n'i n n d '
convert it into ozone, as has been shown already
for many other hydrocarbon oils bv Shoenbein,
Kuhlmann, and Phipson. According to Pro
fessor (irotowsky, no chemical combination, oc
curs between tho oil and the ozone; tho latter
remains free, and oxidizes powerfully any sub
stances brought into contact with it. The odor
of the oils is completely modified when
they contain ozone; the author states
that , they cannot be burnt, and
that they rapidly attack cork. The color of the
glass bottles in which the oils experimented on
are enclosed has a marked iutlucnce on this ab
sorption of oxygen. Preserved in iron vessels,
or completely out of the rays of daylight, all
these oils may be preserved intact; but in white
Klass jars exposed to the light, the white oils
become yellow, are highly charged with ozone,
Increase in specific gravity 00U5, bum with
much difficulty, and at:ack the corks of the
bottles. This is particularly the case with Ame
rican petroleum.
1 he Oxylivdrotfcii I.laht.
This scheme has now taken a definite shape In
Tans. A company hns been formed, the capital
necessary has been raised, and application has
been made for permission to lay down pipes to
carry oxygen and hydrogen over about a fourth
ol tho city. It is not very likely that the per
mission will be granted, and tho promoters will
have to confine themselves to supplying Indivi
duals with compressed gases, as was originally
proposed. Jiy the patented processes M. Tessio
on Motay obtains tho oxygen and hydrogen
which he proposes to distribute over Paris, at a
cost so low that the oxy hydrogen light is promised
much cheaper than common gas light; . but
Ingenious and relatively cheap as they undoubt
edly are, it is impossible to believe that tho ser
vice can be made bo inexpensive as to supersede
' coal gas. Tho prospectus of tho company en
larges upon tho cheapness and purity of tho
light, tho complete combustion, and the absenco
of all deleterious matters in the products of tho
combination; but Is quite silent as to the danger
of introducing into a house two gases not pos
sessing any smell, and which, consequently,
may escape without observation, and tho mlx-
; ture of which forms an explosive compound
Of far greater power than any mixture of
coal gas and air. To any danger of this kiud,
continental engineers appear to shut their eves.
A short time ago, a patent was taken out in liel-
: fclnm for making a mixture of coal gas and air,
storing It in gas-holders, and distributing it
over the city of lirnstsela for heating purposes.
The engineering details given showed a com
plete knowledge of the subject of the manufac
ture mid distribution ot gat), but there seemed to
be no recognition of the rink, imminent enough,
of blowing tip Hie Whole cotoncrn. A considera
tion of tlil kiud, some year(Hjgo, stood In tho
way of a scheme of the kind projected for Bir
mingham, and will, no doubt, prevent the Oxy-
hydrogen Light Company from getting peruiis-
, eion to Jay down their pipes over Paris.
'' ' Detfrpiliilng "First Contact" with the Npectro
- -On of the most beautiful observations made
f iluring the Jute eclipse was thnf of Professor 0.
A. Young, on the ftrft contact, by means of the
spectroscope. Our. readers nr, no doubt,
familiar with the method developed by Lockyer
of viewing solar prominences in tho spectro
scope without the aid of an eclipse. Professor
Young has bccn giving much attention to this
subject, and has fitted up a very efficient instru
ment for the purpose. During tho eellpso of
last month, he was stationed at Burlington,
lowa, and shortly before the first
contact was duo. he found that
there was a solar prominence located at tho spot
where first contact must occur. He therefore
fixed his spectroscope with tho slit radial to the
solar edge at this point, so getting a prominence
spectrum whoso width was determined by tho
height of tho prominence. Closely watching
this, ho presently found that it began to narrow
steadily, and at the instant that it became a
mere line and disappeared, ho recorded
first contact. From the first photograph
showlDg contact made by the Phila
delphia party at the samo place, Professor A. M.
Mayer, who had chargo of that division, calcu
lated the time of actual first contact, and found
that it came within two-tenths of a second of the
record made by Professor Young.
Spectrum or tiif. Cokona During tho to
tality of the late eclipse, Professor Young gave
special nttention to observation of tho corona
with the spectroscope. Ho found, that in place
of a subdued eolar spectrum which would have
been anticipated from tho reports of former ob
servations, It yielded a spectrum of bright lines.
The most prominent of theso ho was ablo to
measure, and found its position as that In
dicated by 1474 on Kirchhoff's chart.
Two other fainter ones were noticed,
but there was no time to measure them. Pro
fessor Young writes that he finds, by graphical
projection, a close correspondence between this
principal corona line and tho brightest of the
aurora lines observed by Professor VVinloek, on
the Ityh of April, and indicated by hlia as occu
pying the position ot 15.j(I on liuggins chart.
Professor Young al-o considers that tho two
fainter corona lines observed, but not measured
by him. correspond with aurora lines W and
m u oi liuggins cnari, onserveu nv rroiessor
Vinlock. on the occasion above noticed. From
these observations, Professor Young hazards the
conjecture that the solar corona is, in fact, a
permanent aurora.
The Cokona not - Polarized. With the
above observations and deductions made by
Professor Young, agree exactly those which
were made at Mount Pleasant, lowa. by
Professor K. C. Pickering, who with a spectro
scope observed no dark lines iu the general light
from the total phase, and with a polariscope ar
ranged on the plan used byAragoiu his study
of sky polarization, found no trace of this con
dition in the light from the corona.
Solar Prominences as Seen and as Photo
graphed. It will le remembered that in Do La
Pile's photographs in 18(50, several prominences
were conspicuously depicted which were not seen
by any of the observers. This no doubt results
from the great difference in actinic force be
tween the light from the corona nud promi
nences, when compared with their luminous
intensify, the corona appearing intensely bright,
but I eing very feeble iu actinic effect.
" nnlii.li View of the Eclipse
The London fyvctalor says:
It is a particularly fortunate circumstance
that the great eclipse of August 7 has been wit
nessed under favorable circumstances, for there
will not be another total eclipse of the suu until
the end of the year ISTl. and then the duration
of totality will be exceedingly short. After that
there will be no total eclipse till November,
1872, and this eclipse will be of no value at all,
so lar as observations to be made during totality
are concerned, since the totality will not last
more than a few seconds. Indeed, the eclipse
will be of so singularly indefinite a character that
astronomers cannot say for certain whether it
will be total or annular. Probably it will begin
as an' annular eclipse, become total as tho
shadow 6weeps rapidly across the earth's sur
face, and end as an annular eclipse again; the
point of the moon's true shadow just reaching
tho protuberant part of -the earth's illuminated
hemisphere, lie this as it may, it is certain that
there will be no possibility of" observing tho red
prominences.
Thus, had it not been for the success with
which, as we learn, the American astronomers
have been able to observe tho important eclipse
of August 7, our solar physicists would have
been forced to content themselves for several
years with the results of the eclipse-expeditions
of last year. This would have been the
more unfortunate because that was the
first eclips.e during which astronomers
had been able to avail themselves of the power
of their new ally, tho spectroscope. Many
questions of extreme importance have arisen
during the past year as to the significance of
several observations made in India in 18tiS: and
astronomers looked with interest to the eclipse
w hich has just taken place to resolve their diffi
culties. The eclipse of August 7 was in mauy respects
inferior to the great eclipse of Augus't 18, IS'iS.
In 1S08 the moon's disc overlapped the sun (at
the time of central eclipse) by un amount equal
to nearly a thirtieth part of the sun's apparent
diameter, and thus the totality lasted several
minutes. This year tho moon's overlap was
about a fifth less, and tho duration of totality
was proportionately reduced. Still the eclipse
was an important one, since it is comparatively
seldom that even so near an approach is made
to the exceptional magnitude of the great lu
diau eclipse. The recent eclipse, too,
was characterized by certain very
favorable features. The moon's shadow tra
versed a region of the earth's surface which was
for the most part accessible to practical astrono
mers. The Americans had no occasion to un
dertake long and expensive journeys, since tho
eclipse visited them, so to speak, at their own
doors. Some of the principal American obser
vatories lay quite close to lllO HUB ui cuuum
eclipse, others were not so far off but that largo
and powerful telescopes could readily bo carried
to some spot upon the central line. Ihen,
again, the important processes of photography
were not interfered with, as iu India, by the tre
mendous heat of tbe climate. Major fcunant
mentioned last vear ihat he had had great diffi
culties to encounter owing to this circumstance.
The American astronomers, among whom arc
some of the most successful professors of celes
tial photography, were subject to no such an
noyances. One result of the American observations is
very interesting. Last year there was some dis
crepancy between the various observers of the
spectra of the prominences, as to tho position of
those bright lines which indicate the character of
the prominence-flames. So important was this
discrepancy, that many were disposed to consider
that tho observers had seen different lines, and
in this way some eight or nino linos seemed to
have appeared in tho prominence-spectrum.
One observer indeed, M. Hayet, announced that
he had seen seven or eight lines. Now Jatinscn
(himself an observer of tho eclipse) and Mr.
J. Norman Lockyer, who independently clis
covered tho fact that the bright Hues of
tho prominences can bo seew without an eclipse,
have seen but three lines, tw beloiigiug
to hydrogen, and the third near to, but not coin
cident w ith, the double bright line of tho metal
sodium, but all doubt was not removed by this
circumstance, since it was held to be not" only
possible, but highly probable that tho fainter
lines might escape" a scrutiny made while tho
sun is blazing iu full splendor: the peculiar
selective power of the spectroscope availing to
render tho brighter lines visible, without neces
sarily exhibiting tho fainter ones. Now, all
doubt on this point has been set at rest, since
Professor Winlock, who observed tho eclipse at
Stubbrille, Kentucky, detected no less than
eleven bright lines in tho spectrum of a promi
nence. Doubtless, wo shall soon learn what are
the elements to which the new lines belong.
Senator Wilson says tho result of tho Ten
nessee eloctiou lias boon brought about by that

I'oreign Item.
A pamphlet just published at Pcsth, under
the title of "Tho Neutrality of the AiiHtro-II nil
gai inn Monarchy in a Future War,'' has boon
much commented on by tho press of Vienna
nnd Berlin. Tho author, who writes under the
signature of "A Hussar," but who is known to
be a Hungarian military officer of high rank, de
clares that it is Impossible for Prtissln to bo sin
cerely friendly towards Austria, as it must in
duo course make an attempt to seize the German
provinces of that empire. In tho event of a war
between Prussia and France, therefore, ho con
tinued, Austria must take the side of tho latter,
in which case it will bo necessary for Prussia to
place 300,000 men on tho Bohemian frontier to
cover her Hank against the corps of observation
which Austria would send to that province. In
such a struggle, the writer adds, Prussia and
Kussla would also have "Turkey, Italy and Eng
land" against them. The resuit of tho war, ho
concluded, would be tho annihilation of Prussia
as a great power, the humiliation of Russia, and
the restoration of Poland.
Tho antagonism between tho Slavonic and
Italian populations en the coast of the Adriatic
has again broken out in some serious disturb
ances at Trieste. Those disturbances created so
much alarm among tho inhabitants that the
local militia, which is entirely composed of Sla
vonians, has been disbanded. The Governor,
General Moring, Is very popular both with tho
Italians and tho Slavonians, and ids experiences
in America and as a member of the Frankfort
Parliament have given him strong liberal ten
dencies, w hich have caused him to be perhaps
more lenient than the occasion demanded. Very
stringent Instructions, however, have now been
forwarded to him from Vienna, and it is stated
that he has already given notice to tho po
desta and other influential citizens of Trieste
that, if tho disturbances are repeated, he will
be compelled to place tho town iu a state of
siege.
A contributor to the Daily Xer gives an
Interesting account of an unsuccessful attempt
made by a correspondent of Victor Hugo, while
the translation of "Les Travailleurs do la Mer''
was being proceeded with, to convince the great
man that "Premiere des quatrc" was not a cor
rect rendering of "Firth of Forth," and that the
"Firth of Forth" wos not the "First of Four
Cliffs."' The curious blunder was noticed in
many quarters when "Les Travailleurs dc la Mer'
appeared; but we now hear, for the first time, that
it had been pointed out to M. Hugo before the
work appeared, and that the sublime roinancist
persisted in maintaining that the "Firth of
Forth" was what he had declared it to be, and
that the first of the four el ill's which mark the
frontier between England and Scotland had
been blown down by i he fury of an equinoctial
gale. "The meteorological facts mentioned by
me," he refilled, "being the same as reported by
the Lulhtin of tho Paris Observatory, if there is
an error, or if the denomination is inexact, it is
to the BulMin that that error or inexactitude
must be referred. For the rest I do not believe
that there is an error (Du ri'fte, jr nc crois pan
(pi'il y ait erreur)."
An archdeacon and a clergyman or two of
lesser note have ventured to attack Darwinism
before the members of the British Association at
Exeter. As might be expected, whether right
or wrong, as a matter of fact, they got the worst
of It in argument, Professor Huxley- observing
that their papers and speeches seemed to him
to suggest that Cain was the first doctor of
divinity, and Abel the first man of science.
Almost at tho same time tho Pope's organ, the
Civilla Catotica, was discussing the same sub
ject. The following is a brief summary of its
argument: "As the Church teaches that God
created man, the liberals will not believe it,
and maintain they descend from apes.
They have chosen that animal for
their progenitor, because Satan, tho
first conspirator, the first revolutionary, and the
first liberal that ever lived, was the ape of the
Deity. Further, thev have observed that, as the
o c is notoriously Impudent, malicious, and,
above all, prone to theft, ho possesses tho same
qualities os themselves.- Tho liberals are tho apes
of the Church and of God, and follow in that
the example of the devil, iheir lord and master.
From this como their hatred and animosity to
the Church. Does the Pope summon an (Ecu
menical Council at Pome? The liberals propose
at Naples on assembly of free-thinkers. In
short, liberalism is only a grand piece of aping."
Tho Moscow (razilli1 of August 15 publishes
an article which contains some interesting in
formation as to the measures taken by the Rus
sian Government with the object of facilitating
the use of raihvajs by the troops in time of war.
No railway, it appears, cau now be made in
Russia unless the company charged with its
construction engages to build the carriages in
such a way as to make them easily available for
the transport of troops. A sort of railway drill
has been established in order to accustom the
soldiers to enter and come out of a train with
the greatest possible rapidity, and special rail
way companies are to be attached to each regi
ment, consisting of men capable of acting iu
case of need as engineers, stokers, drivers, points
men, etc. The total number of the soldiers
forming these companies will for the present be
1000. The Moscow Gau'ttv thus explains the
necessity for the above measures: "No one
doubts the great importance of railways in a
military point of view, but if the necessary ar
rangements are not made iii time of peace they
will not be one-tenth as serviceable as they
ought to be. If, for Instance, tho troops,-and
especially tho artillery and cavalry, aro not ex
ercised during pence iu entering and leaving a
railway carriage without losing time, . . or
if the enemy should destroy a portion of tho
rails, or tho employes of the railway (as was the
case during the last Polish insurrection) do not
deserve the confidence of tho government, and
if no means are taken to provide against such
contingencies, the best strategical combinations
might be paralyzed."
The disturbances which lately took place In
consequence of thecstablishmeut of a monastery
at Moabit, a suburb of Berlin, have called tne
attention of the Prussian press to the laws on reli
gious societies which exist in the various German
States. It appears that in Prussia the only au
thority that decides as to the establishment of a
monastery is the bishop of the diocese, tho State
only Intel fering "when tho monastery is estab
lished for the purpose of exercising an Influence
on public affairs." By article 1M of the Prussian
Constitution, monasteries, can only acquire the
rights possessed by lay associations through
special laws made ad hue; and no religious order
is to be regarded as a corporation unless its
foundation has been sanctioned by the State.
The numerous monasteries and convents estab
lished in Prussia since 1850 have accordingly
no corporate existence iu the eyes of tho law,
aud their property is held either In the name of
a third person or of an individual member of
tho society. Iu Bavaria no religious establish
ment can "ho founded without tho consent of tho
State (edict of 1818"). In Austria, by Article 28
of tho Concordat, the "concurrence of the Gov
ernment" is required for such foundations, alter
which they become legally entitled to all the
privileges of corporate bodies. According to tho
Baden' law of tho Hth of October, 18M), no reli
gious order may be introduced Into that couulry
without the permission of the Govcrumcntyaml
such permission may bo withdrawu if thought
necessary. A similar provlslou is contained In tho
Wurtemberg law of the 30th of January, 18ti2,
and it is added that if a society of Jesuits, or any
othersoclety of alike kind should desire admission
into tho country, a special law must be passed
for that purpose. No religious order is to be
established unless R possesses sufficient means
of subsistence. After establishment it is placed
under the supervision cf tho bishop of tho dio
cese, and is mudo liable to the civil laws of tho
country. No member of a religious society is
allowed to contribute more than a certain fixed
sum towards the expenses of his order, tho
Government is to he informed from timo to time
of tho number of the members, and tho judicial
authorities inVTwTf . to bo allowed access to
the monastic buildings. Iu Saxony, on tho
other hand, the constitution of 1831 forbids the
introduction of any new convents or religious
orders whatever.
