c THE DAILY EVEflJNG TELEGRAPH- PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, JUNE 3, 1870. T11E 8U2TS COIiOXA. JVowi the London Spectator. One problem after another presented by the study of the sun has been mastered by BHtronoiners and physicists. They have ascer tained what are the Butmtancos of which his globe is constituted, they have learnt some thing of the condition in which those sub stances exist; they have detected the secret of the rose-colored prominences which spring suddenly into view w hen his orb is eclipHed, Later came the Bimultaneous discovory by JannRcn and our ingouions countryman Lock yer, that the spectrum of the prominences can be studied when the sun is not eclipsed, a discovery fruitful in promise, if it has not yet brought with it all the results which had been looked for. More important still was the in Tention by Mr. Huggins, jacile priweps amongst astronomical fcpectroscopisls, of a method by which tLo prominences can be seen ("not merely rendered sensible," as Sir John llerschel justly says) by moans of tho spectroscope. Thus it has become possible to inspect tho iiguro, and what is yet more striking, the changes of figure, of those amazing objects. Astronomers have availed themselves at once of this ingenious method, and so far as the prominences are concerned little Boems left to be discovered. Hut one imposing phenomenon presented during total solar eclipses remains yet to be interpreted. The crown of glory which sud denly bursts into view when the sun's orb is totally concealed, has proved a source of per plexity to astronomers and physicists until now, and may, perchance, yet foil their attempts at explanation for many years to come. It baa been regarded as a lunar appendage by some, as a solar appendage by others, while others again have supposed it to bo merely an opti cal phenomenon. In August, during the eclipse which offered such important in formation respecting the colored promi nences, the corona w as left uninterpreted. In August, ISO!), though several observers scru tinized it attentively with tho poworf ul instru ments now available to the astronomer, it still foiled their etl'orts. The question which is perhaps of all others most in the thoughts of the astronomer, is whether the observa tions tn be made during the eclipse of De cember next will suffice to master this stub born problem. If we consider the matter aright, we shall see that tho solution of the difficulty can hardly fail to afford most interesting infor mation respecting tho physical habitudes of tLe sun, nay, even respecting relations affect ing the whole economy of the solar sys tem. Itegcrded as a solar appendage, the corona is, in some respects, tho most amaz ing object within tho limits of the planetary scheme. It ha.s been seen (under favorablo eonditions) to extend several degrees from the eclipsed sun; and a degree, in the case of im object situated at the san's distance, corresponds to a length of seventeen hundred thousands of miles. When wo remember that tho object, whatever it is, is not a mero plane surface (as one is so apt to conceive in regarding a phenomenon of the sort), but surrounds the sun on every side, we begin to recognize the enormous volume which it occupies. Those radiations whose structure is so perplexing are in reality enormous streams of matter, whether continuous or discrete remains yet to be determined. These streams, too, are not necessarily directed towards or from the sun, as one is apt to suppose from their ordinary aspect. It is not even probable that they are so situ ated, since observers of repute have noticed that the radiations of the corona are not sym metrical. Is it Eafe to hazard a guess as to the real nature of the corona, when a few months may afford positive information respecting its structure '( Let us consider what we know already. It has sometimes happened that astronomers have remained in doubt respect ing a problem whose solution was in reality in their hands. Galileo w as content to remain perplexed by the strange changes of Saturn's appearance, when it was possible for him to have anticipated by simple reasoning the dis covery of the real nature of the planet's ap pendage. The predecessors of Sir W. ller schel suffered discovery after discovery to cbcape them, because they would not be at the pains to discuss in full their own observa tions. Tho wonderful success of that great astronomer was due to his appreciation of the fact that observations can only be fruitful when submitted to scrutiny and analysis. It appears to us that the observations already made upon tho corona only require careful consideration to reveal with tolerable distinct ness the real nature of this object. Betting aside the theories which associate the corona with the moon or with our own atmosphere, as altogether untenable in the face of recent discoveries, lot ns inquire whether we have any reason to believe that the portion of space apparently occupied by the corona is really tenanted by material sub stance. Wo cannot suppose that a solar at mosphere of any sort occupies this region. For it is incredible that objects of such a nature as the colored prominences flames thousands of miles in height should exist at the bottom of an atmosphere whose depth must be estimated by hundreds of thousands of miles, and which would be subject also to the enormous attractive energies of the sun's mass. If our own atmosphere, with a pro bable depth of about a hundred miles, and attracted only by the relatively insignificant forces of terrestrial gravity, is yet capable of exerting a pressure ot nearly a ton on every square foot of surface, how inconoeivablv vast would be the pressure of an atmosphere tnousanas 01 times as deep (even supposing the visible bounds of the corona to indicate its true limits), and attracted by the sun, at whose surface four of our pounds would weigh a nundred-weignt ! The material particles, then, which form the corona must be of such a nature as not to press tcwards the sun. In other words, they must travel around him. As to the nature of these motions, we are led by the irregul&r ap pearance of the corona to believe that the bodies forming the corona travel in paths caving every variety 01 lorm. Thus we are led to the conclusion that they must be somewhat of the nature of those me teoric bodies which reach our own atmo sphere. 'We know that the meteors reach us along paths so eccentric in figure that many of these bodies must have come from beyond distances exceeding tnose at which Uranus and Neptune circle round the sun. And what is more to the purpose, we know that large numbers of those which are intercepted by the earth would otherwise have passed to the immediate neighborhood of the sun. Now for one meteor whioh the earth inter cents there must be millions on millions which pass on their course, past her path, without being interfered with by her. And for each meteor-system which passes close past the earth's track there must (acoording to all reasonable probability) be millions of systems which make no such approach. Is it conceivable that these countless millions of meteors and meteor-systems, undoubtedly existing in the sun's neighborhood, should remain wholly invisible when the sun is eclipsed? Supposing them brilliantly illu minated as they must be, owing to their proximity to the sun to be visible during total eclipses, we should expect them to pre sent precisely tho appearance actually ex hibited by the corona. Thus we are led at once by a priori and by a posteriori conside rations to judge that tho coioua consists of multitudes of meteoric bodies, travel ling in orbits having every variety of figure and position around tho central luminary. But if this be the case, we should expect that some tracer of tho outlying portions of this vast congeries of systems would bo visi ble after sunset and before sunrise. We find, accordingly, that there con be traced in the evening towards tho west, and in the morn ing towards the east, that faint Innvinou gleam known as the zodiacal light. Thi3 light grows brighter towards tho horizon beneath which the sun lies at the time. Are wo to suppose this increase of light stops short suddenly at tnat point ? It is reasonable to conclude, on tho contrary, that the light in creases in brilliancy up to tho very pluce occupied by tho sun. So that here again wo have evidenco accounting satisfactorily for tho existence of a glory of light round the sun during total eclipses. Wo venture to predict that if the corp of observers now being formed under tho auspices of the Boyal Astronomical Society should be successful in finding new evidence respecting the corona, that evidence will not be found opposed to tho views wo true ox pressed abovo. ivest roixi.

The Pittsburg Commercial of yesterday ha the following: Judging irom the rumors that have brea afloat in aquatic circles during the past few days, Pittsburg is soon to be treated to an aquatic sensation, it is nothing less than the entering Into aquatic contest" of an element that has never been Known there before. During last fall and the present aquatic sea son considerable attention has been directed to a girl about seventeen years of age, who almost every day has made her appearance in a skiff on the Monongahela, and by her splendid oarsman chip has come to be considered the female oars man of Pittsburg. She usually rows down from a point above the railroad bridge to the Point, and sometimes up the Allegheny. She displays, ae is stated by those who Cave seen her, a skill that would do credit to the best oarsmen in tho city, and has on several occasions made excel lent time from the railroad bridge to the Point and return. Early during the present season some of her friends endeavored to get her to enter the lists and contest in some of the races of the present season. Bhe refused, and evidently did not wish to enter a field where there was so strong an element of rowdyism. She stated that she had adopted rowing partially an a pastime and to enable her to carry her father to his work, as he was at that time employed in one of the rolling mills on the South bide, and she wished to con vey him over the river early in the morning. From the grace and skill with which she han dles the oar a number of friends in this city and particularly those residing In the vicinity of her home, which is in the unromantically named region called Pipetown, In the Eighth ward, have determined if possible to induce her to enter the racing list this season and issue a challenge to some one of the prominent local oarsmen of this city. It U now stated that she has Blgniiicd her willingness to do so, provided that her friends will assume the responsibility of defeat in case she is defeated, and she says that she will do her lest to win. The workmen in the rolling mills in that portion of the city have already raised a considerable sum, ana win soon nave a nanasome purse made up la order that a challenge may be made to some of the local oarsmen. She is unwilling to risk herself in a great race at first, but it Is stated will Issue a challenge to one who has already an enviable reputation in this vicinity. Her friends were unwilling yesterday that her name should be given to the public, but it may not be improper to state that htr first name U '.Lotue, aim that sue resiues m tuo lugutn ward.

The follow ing pasRRge U from "Notes on Burgundy," by Charles Itichard Weed, just published in London: The foolish and often insane at tempt, so prevalent, unfortunately, with our countrymen, to apo their bettors, is rarely seen in France. Contentment with their lot seems to be very genoral; and, if it is a feature of the French character to be amused with what we should, perhaps, call triflos, this custom has, at least, the advantage of occupying time harmlessly. It is impossible, of course, to bo the guest of a French family, where there are daughters, without t)cin4 struck by the great contrast between their life and that of the English girls. This cortrfu.t appeared to mo now to be nioro striking than ever; and this is the case; for, while tho French girl has been, so to speak, standing still, her life before marriage run ning in the same narrow domestic groove, our English girls have been accorded more liberty, of which they have not been slow to take advantage, with what result, in many canes, is well known. Thus encouraged to indulge in amusements of the most exciting nature, a quiet home becomes a bore, and their young life is spent in frivolities which are sorry preparations for the years when they hope to bo matrons. There is, doubt less, much to be said against the French sys tem of marrying girls to men whose charac ters they have little or no opportunity of studying; but, though continental marriages are not, as a rule, the result of mutual love, it is certain that in Fiance a maidenhood of glittering but unreal splendor is raroly, if ever, succeeded by a wifehood of disappoint nieLt and nnhappiness.
