At the last session of Congress, at tha sug
gestion of Hon. J. A. Bingham, of Ohio, an
appropriation of $25,000 was made for th
Atbaerration, in tha interest of Aoienoe, of the
total eclipse of the snn whioh takes place
Deoember 2 and which ia visible only in
the sontliern part of Earopo. The observa
tiona were directed to be made under the
charge of Prof. Benjamin Peirce, Superin
tendent of the XT. 8. Coiut Harvey.
Immediately upon the appropriation being
made an officer was sent to examine the vari
ous plaoes, and obtain all the local informa
tion which might be required to select the
most favomlila positions for observation.
The expedition has been divided into two
parties, each 6 which consists of about
twelve persons. One party is under the
immediate direction of Professor Peiroe, and
will observe in Sicily; and the other is under
the direction of Professor Winlock, the
director of the Observatory of Harvard Uni
versity, and will observe in Kpttiu. Almost
all the astronomers of the expedition were
upon the central path of. the great eclipse
whioh ooourred in this country in August,
lRf.!, so that they are experienced and well
prepared for the work before them. These
two main bodies will in turn be divided into
several small bodies, each of whioh
will be stationed at some separate point near
the main observatory. The observations for
precision have been entrusted in each party
to an experienced officer of the survey, who
will be upon the exact ground of observation
at least a fortnight before the eclipse. He
will have the instruments all properly
mounted And protected, the time well ob
served, and the arrangements made so that
the prinoipal observers of the physical phe
nomena may. find everything in readiness.
The officers upon whom this duty has de
volved are Mr. iSchott and Mr. Dean, assist
ants of the Coast Survey.
Tho party for Spain sailed on the 3d of
November, and the party for Sicily on the
loth of the previous month. A portion of
the latter have since been staying in England
co-operating with the English observers.
It was at first intended to use a Govern
ment Teasel to convey the party to the
countries named, but the war in Europe.
whioh requirod the presenoe of our fleet
there, prevented that arrangement. An Eng
lish party of sixty-eight volunteers from the
best soientifio men of the country had been
formed, with the expectation of getting a
Government grant and vessel for thair use;
but ia this they were disappointed. The
Admiralty discovered that the nation woulr
Assuredly disapprove if room were found for
mere men of science and their trumpery in
any of her Majesty's ships, and, accordingly,
just when the extensive preparations requi
site for the expeditions were in fall pro
gress, news came that the means of trans
port must be found by the observersthem-
selves.
ProfoBsor Peirce on his arrival in England
immediately extended an invitation from the
United States, through the Iioyal Society, to
the English party of observers, asking them
Jto join with the American party. This invi
tation has in part been accepted, though
other independent parties will go out. As at
present arranged there will be four English
parties. Beginning with Spain, there will be
jne to Cadiz, in charge of the liev. S. J.
ferry; and one to Gibraltar, under Captain
Sbble. The English branch of the Anglo
tmerioan expedition will be under the charge
f Mr. Lock) er; while there will be a fourth
imall expedition, under the charge of Mr.
Inggins, to Oran. The English delegation
-operating with the American Sicilian party
s composed not so much of professional
f Astronomers, though there is no lack of ex
perience, skill, and knowledge among them.
As Gibraltar is English ground, the larger
English party will be stationed there. For
all observing points within Spanish jurisdic
tion the best of arrangements have been
mad by tho representatives ef the Spanish,
British, and American Governments for the
convenience of the observers. The Soaaish
r Government has agreed that at the Spanish
f custom houses no duty or deposit shall be
demanded on the astronomical or physical in
struments that foreign astronomers bring
into Spain for the observation and study of
the eclipse. ' In return the astronomers have
j agreed to make known all particular respect
ing their vwita and their instruments to the
Madrid Observatory.
The American party on Spanish soil is now
stationed at Malaga, where the minor parties
report. Two Philadelphia photographers are
with the party, in charge of the photogra
phic department. In addition to Professor
l Dartmouth, in care of the spectroscopic
ybservations, Professor Pickering, of Bos
Ion, and Professor Peters, of Hamilton Col
lege, also accompany the Spanish observers.
he vfaahington Naval Observatory, are with
the Sioily party. All the delegations have
he finest instruments telescopes, cameras,
ensea, and apparatus generally made espe-
u'aIW fnr the one.BAinn.
tThe lenses of both cameras and telescopes
ve been ground by the best makers in an
imperial manner for the work for which they
are designed. An apparatus has been made
yr each earners and photographing telesoope,
Ly means of which a series of photographio
tla tea are so arranged and worked as to ob-

professor Win loch has made arrangements

kLich the spectral lines of the oorona may
a reerTed for subsequent inauruieat
and discussion. The polariscopio observa
tions are under the charge of lVofensor
Picketing. General observations of the
corona will be made by as many of the party
as possible, and what are known as Steinheil's
hand comet-seekers will be especially availa
ble for this class of observation. Hand spec
troscopes will also be used by several of the
party.
It is said that this is one of the greatest of
modern total eclipses for various reasons,
among which may be mentioned the faot
that it ncours when the moon is particularly
near the earth, and also at the time of the
winter solstice. It is stated also that the posi
tion of the planets is such that the sun, moon,
Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Uranus, and the
earth all exert their attractive inflaenoe in
the same straight line. As a result of this
there have been various predictions of the
effects upon the earth, such as earthquakes,
great tidal waves and storms, hurrioanes, and
cyclones. It is said that there was a similar,
position of the heavenly bodies at the time of
a total eclipse when Callao and Quito were
destroyed by earthquake and tidal waves.
Whether any of these startling predictions
are of a truthful character remains to be
seen. No great danger is apprehended by
those best versed in suoh matters.
The line of obsouration is as follow?: The
eclipse will begin in the North Atlantio Ocean,
the central line moving in a southeasterly
direction. Crossing one part of Spain and
the Mediterranean Sea, it enters Africa near
Oran, and afterwards attains its southern lim
its. The shadow of the moon moves in a
northeasterly direction, and leaves Africa,
and crossing the Island of Sicily, the south
of Turkey, the Black Soa, and the Sea-of
Azof, disappears.
The penumbra of the moon decreasing
rapidly, leaves the earth with the setting sun
in Arabia. The sun will be cont rally and
totally eclipsed at noon in latitude 36 de
grees and 38 minutes north, longitude 5 de
grees 1 minute west, a little to the northeast
of Gibraltar, and near the Lisbon coast.
The greatest credit is due to our Congress
in that they took sufficient interest in science
to forward its interests in this particular.
Our scientific men have made the best use of
the funds thus put into their hands.
TDK NEW MORALITY
From the J'all Mali Gazette.
OF NATIONS.
It would be wasting words to dhow at length
that the criminality of Russia consists not so
much in her breaking the, international en
gagements of 185(5 as the reasons she gives
for breaking them. Nations occasionally
break treaties, just as men commit breaches
of morality, upon sudden impulse, or what
they wibh to be considered Ctssuddon impulse;
but the man who sins past pardon, and who
inflicts a deep injury en society, is he who in
cold blood declares that there is nosuch thing
as morality, or that if there is, he does
not intend to be bound by it.
If Russia has found a pretext, how
ever trivial, for deolaring war against
Turkey, and proclaiming herself free from
her engagements as the consequence of war,
she would have injured the permanent inte
rests of mankind far less than she has done
by the astounding doctrine that so much of
international law as is founded on treaties no
longer involves the moral obligations attached
to it in former times. If such a principle is
to obtain, the prospects of Europe are gloomy
indeed. The sky was already black with the
pent-up passions of nations or lurid with
their furious explosion; and now the very
earth opens under our feot through the per
fidy of Russia.
Next to the action of the British Govern
ment the policy of the Prussian Government
is the most interesting subject of specula
tion. It is too busy for material but not for
moral influence. We have stated in detail
what are the indications of complicity with
Russia on the part of the Prussian Court aud
Foreign Office; and even if these indica
tions are deceptive, there are plenty of rea
sons for suspecting that there will be at
least German toleration of the Russian breach
of treaty. The Germans have made many
pretensions since they put forth the military
strength which had been so carefully hus
banded, but there is nothing to show that
they have ceased ' to be absolutely in the
hands of the Prussian reigning .house, whioh
has lately shown a singular avidity for the
honors and decorations showered
upon it by its Russian kinsmen. Tha
class which supplies the officers who have
done such good service in the war with
France professes an hereditary devotion to
the Government of the Czar; and both among
the people and the public men of Germany
there is plenty of dislike to Anstria, the
power materially injured, and of spitef ulnesa
to England, the power morally outraged, by
this great act of bad faith. Yet, on the other
hand, if Germany can replace petty motives
by large ones, and rise to the level of the
elevation to which her snooesses have raised
her, there are many reasons why she should
regard the blow as aimed more directly at
herself than at any other power. The great
bribe offered to Germany is probably pre
ponderance, and specially maritime prepon
derance, in the West, for which the
return is to be the concession of
unlimited opportunities to Russia
in the Ettbt. But the opportunities for an
aggressive power in Eastern Europe are infi
nitely greater than for a power whose sphere
ia the West. If the nations of Western
Europe arm themselves after the German
fashion, as it seems certain that they will,
the effort demanded by warfare will be too
great for anything but the greatest exigen
cies. Russia will be the only power adapted
for the sort of war which will lead to the
gradual dismemberment of the Turkish em
pire; and this process she proposes to put in
operation unfettered by the disapprobation
of Western countries, and even uushackled
by her own express premises to take, or not
to take, a particular course. The great power
thus coiled round Europe will have room for
movement and expansion altogether denied
to the most eminent and active of Western
nations. For Russia, it must be remem
bered, will advance, if not now checked,
with a new resource which may
help her more effectually even
than her own armies, than the weakness of
Turkey, or than the sympathies of the Chris
tian populations of the Eatt. She has called
to her aid an Oriental morality. The varnish
placed over her doctrines through the French
in which they are conveyed cannot conceal
the fact that they belong essentially to the
same moral eode which was followed by the
Mahratta bivagee when he drove his iron
tiger-claw into the vitals of tke enemy whom
he had lured into friendly conference. No
powor whose civilization is of the really
Western type could compete with a rival pro
vided with suoh an advantage. Count Bis
marck went pretty far in 18(it, but he ha 1 at
least an historical or ethnical theory to help
Lira to the persuasion that he was obeying a
higher morality than that of more sornpnlus
politicians. He owes the world a reparation
for having contributed to produce the d o
trine, different from his own, and yet di
rectly descended from it, that the obligation
of promises between nations is a notion and a
chimera.
Professor von Sybel, who was lecturing the
British publio the other day on its failure to
apprehend the German feeling about Alsaos
and Lorraine, has made it the labor of his
life to show that it is an error to suppose
France exclusively the evil Remus of Ger
many. Germany, we are told by him, has
had two permanent enemies since their re
spective appearance on the international
stage France and Russia. It was Russia
which by her intrigues in Eastern Earope
paralyzed the efforts made by Prussia to stem
the fiery flood of revolutionary passion which
Franoe in the throes of the First Revolution
was pouring over the world. It was uneasi
ness respecting Rnssia whioh led the Prussian
Government into that alliance with revolu
tionary France which first disgraced aud ulti
mately ruined it. And it was the desertion
of the European cau.se by the unolo of the
present Czar which made it impossible for
Prussia to escape earlier than she did from
the depths of humiliation into whioh she had
been thrust by the First Napoleon. French
force and Russian fraud are thus declared to
be the twin sources of German calamity, and
the twin obstacles to German unity. And it
is certainly curious that the evil influence
possessed by Russia over Germany has always
been exercised, not through direct aggression
on her interests, but by distracting her atten
tion to intrigues at onae dangerous aud ob
scure, or by tempting her to share in ignoble
advantages foreign to"- her true sphere of am
bition. Jf Prussia was not sooner the great
Teutonic power, it was because Russia seduced
her into making herself a Slavonio power;
nor is it possible to doubt that she will long
bear the burden of her Polish acqui
sitions. It is all very well for Count
Bismarck to say that Poland is
dead and buried. While respecting the
maxim of the great moralist, "Never pro
phesy, unless you know," we may admit this
to be probably true so far as armed revolt is
concerned. But Posen is not the less the
weak spot in the German armor. The next
age will be one of international theories, aud
men will crow more and more sensitive to
their accurate application. Just as the annex
ation of Alsace and Lorraine will assuredly
compromise political liberty in. Germany by
forcing it to contend against tho innumerable
difficulties springing from the discontents of
a subjeot population, so the possession of a
part of Poland will always disfigure that na
tional unity and compactness with whioh the
privileged classes in Germany hope that their
countrymen will bo satisfied in lieu of politi
cal freedom.
Another gross ternptatien U now hold out
by Russia to Germany. In return for it, she
is asked to connive at the abrogation of the
international code, and to renounce all influ
ence over the destinies of Eastorn Europe.
Perhaps the most insulting part of the rela
tions of Russia with Germany consists in the
caricature of the German pretensions which
she offers to the world. Panslavism is a tra
vesty of German unity. The protectorate
claimed over all Christians of the Greok faith
is a ludicrous distortion of the interest felt
by Germans in all the outlying fragments of
the Tentonio family. But the most galling
caricature of all is the ex
aggeration of the Prussian morality of
1HJ; in Prince Gortschakoff's circular. From
a moral law which permitted the most trivial
pretexts to bo seized for making the express
engagements of treaties bend to the great
object of consolidating German power, we
descend to an actual discla.ipi.er of moral la,w,
and the announcement that promises no
longer bind nations, unless it is oonvenient
to keep them. The inertness of Prussia
under Russian inflaenoe gave Europe the
great war at the beginning of the oenfrury;
we have now to see whether she can be
bribed or coaxed into helping to obtain for
Europe a perpetuity of truceless wars.
