BKI YIEWS AT A HEIGHT OP 6,000 FEET Prof. John A. Brashear, the well-known astronomer and manufacturer of astronom ical instruments, who wnt to the Pacific coast to make an observation of the recent solar eclipse, returned home Tuesday morn ing earlier than he had intended, as Mrs. Brashear is quite ilL He was seen at his home in Allegheny yesterday by a DIS PATCH reporter, and asked for an account ol his interesting trip. The professor said: I left Pittsburg December 21, went first to Denver where I had some interviews with the Professors and others connected with the Den ver University in regard to some astronomical instruments for them, some of which I am en gaged in constructing. From Denver I went to Salt Lake City, -nhcre I had some pleasant in terviews with the friends of Orson Pratt, the deceased astronomer and mathematician of the Mormon Church. The new temple of the Mor mons is covered with the hieroglyphics of as tronomy which were explained to me by some or the disciples of the Mormon Church. From there I went to YY'mnemucca, Nev., in company with Dr. Elkin, of Yale College; Mr. Henry Phipps, of Pittsburg; Prof. Howe, of Denver, ana a number of gentlemen Interested in mak ing observations of the solar eclipse. Prepara tions had been made for our party by Colonel Maxson. A camp had been located and every thing arranged for observing the eclipse. After the instruments were made ready for the ob servation, part of the afternoon and evening the day preceding the eclipse the good people of YY'mnemucca, including the Indians and Chinese, were invited to make some observa tions. THE INDIANS YVEBE VERT ZOTil to look into the telescope, lor fear it would explode and cause their destruction, until Cap tain Dovie John, the chief of the Piutes, was induced to look into the instrument by the edi tor of the Silver Stale. He was so amused, and interested that the Indians came up one by one, and, with wondering eycs,gazed until they all seemed to be satisfied. I then tried to in duce some of tbo Indian boys to have a look, but could not bribe them to do so even by the ofler of money. The chief of the Piutes picked one of them up, and tried to force him to look into the telescope. The boy kicked and screamed with such violence that the chief was glad to let go of the young rascal. The Chinese refused to look in, from another consideration. They feared they would have to pay for it. One fellow remarked "Melican man no &abc me. He sabe me 2 bits if I look in there." Two bits is the Western phrase for 25 cents. I found among the inhabitants of the place some very intelligent people who were quite well posted on scientific topics. They treated the eclipse party with all the kindness and consideration possible. In fact, from the pro prietor of the hotel to the heads of the rail road departments, we received all the assist ance they could possibly give us. The day of the eclipse dawned with a mag nificent sky such as we nc er see in the East. Had every astronomer sent out his wishes to old "Probs,' the latter could have given us no better day for the observation of the eclipse. iOur camp was located about a mile and a half from the center of the town, and I must sa it to the credit of the people of Wmnemucca that not one of them came near the camp to bother the ob-en ers dunng the time of the totality. As the time of totality approached every ob server was at his post, and so far as I know ever one was satisfied with the work accom plished. Prof. Daudson had charge ot the photographic work. Mr. Bhnn and his assistant made observations of the contacts, as did also Prof. Howe and Colonel Maxson. Two gentle men connected with the United States Survey, whose names I cannot recall, made most excel lent observations of the curious phenomena of THE DirFKACTIOJT -WAVES, having previously spread upon the ground a large square of white muslin for the purpose of observing this interesting, but not yet under stood, phenomena. Several artists were among the party. One of them, a German, was one of the most rapid delineators I ever met. His sketch corresponds with the best photographs taken. My own work was confined to taking observations of the first and last contact, and to sketching by a method devised by mjself a portion of the finer filaments of the South Po lar corona, and whatever solar frames might be near the south pole of the sun. Though not an expert, 1 practiced sketching frost crytals, n Inch I found was a great help in my work on the sun. The first view of the totality of the total phase of the eclipse was so grand and so much beyond my highest conception of what it would be, that I was tempted to drop pencil and sketch plate and look only at the glorious spec tacle presented. Indeed it was once said of Prof. Peters, the noted professor of Clinton, that after observing one solar eclipse, confining himself to a special work, he was asked what instruments he would use at the next solar eclipse. He at once replied: "A pillow." meaning that he w ould simply lie down and look at it. I was pleased to Iind altcrward that my results agreed closely with the photo graphs, show ing some inner filaments not really shown on the photographs, being apparently burned out by overexposure. Dr. Elkin, of Yale College Observatorv, and Mr. Austin, of the Nautical Almanac Office, at Washington. D. C made observations on the general structure of the corona. The reported iscovery of two comets by Dr. Elkin was not true, but came out of a pleasant remark of the Doctor's, who is one of the most modest men I eiermet. After the observations were ended astronomers got together, compared notes, and the next day the entire party left for points farther west. VISITING THE COMSTOCK LODE. The Pittsburg folk, with Dr. Elkin and Mr. Austin, went to Virginia City, and visited the great Comstock silver mines, which w ere very interesting to them. We descended to a depth of 1,300 feet below the surface, and explored the various windings of that wonderful place. We brought away a number of excellent specimens of silver ore. From there we went to 'Frisco, where the astronomical parties had all congregated from the different parts of the United States, and it is with pleasure I say that the amateur astron omers and photographers of San Francisco did everything in their power to make our stay pleasant. Mr. Henry Phipps. Jr., gave a most pleasant dinner to the visiting and local astronomers at the Palace Hotel, where we had the pleasure of comparing notes, and learned that everT party in the whole line of totality had met with satisfactory results. The reports of the cclipso will bo sent to the various observato ries, most of them perhaps going to the Lick Observatory, on ML Hamilton. The Amateur Photographers' Society of the Pacific coast secured a large number of very valuable photographs, which will be sent to this observatory. Mr. Charles Burkhalter. of Oakland, CaL, had charge of the party, and each photographer so thoroughly drilled him self in the work that few hitches occurred. Some photographs secured by Mr. Burkhalter with a large reflecting telescope are among the finest eclipse photographs ever secured. Prof. Pickering also did some magnificent photo graph work with instruments especially pre pared. The photograph work of the eclipse will surpass anything ever done in this line before Alter a brief but delighted visit to Monterey, Santa Cruz and San Jose, we visited the Lick Observatory, where we met many old-time friends and astronomers. Although the Lick observers count on very few winter nights as good for observing, the first night we were there turned out to be very fine, indeed. We had most superb views of celestial objects through the 36-inch telescope. Saturn, with its magnificent appendage of rings and retinue of moons, was seen as perhaps no human eye has ever seen it, except in this great telescope. THE COMrAJTIOJT SIEIDS, now so difficult an object in ordinary tele scopes, was seen with ease, and although the inoonwas full I had no difficulty in seeing the seventh star m the trapezium of Orion, never before seen in any other telescope. No observations were made upon the moon, although this was the night when it was eclipsed, as the time was fully occupied mak ing other observations. Trot Hoidcn and his ependid corps of assistants and co workers did everything in their power to make our stay pleasant and profitable. We left the Lick Observatory with many pleasant remembrances and a new hat which has since been dedicated to the biggest astron omer in the Lick Obseruatory. 'Hsn ing been invited by the gentlemen inter ested in the new astronomical observatory, which has been proposed for Wilson's Peak, aear Pasadena, Southern California, to visit jflfc w,-rfrlM,finltftfflTiSM .r- - -a.i -iriiJfflitflAarwArifelill ffl.tiiriiBl1.fiTl JjSm. ' KaBKaisMilaBsMBMBsWBtWBtWsMBisalBaWBBBIBBBBBBB Los Angeles and make a trip to Wilson's Peak, we accepted the invitation. Although Prot. Pickering, Mr. Clark and others had made the ascent of the peak before we arrived there, in company with Mr. Vandevort, a former Pitts burger, I made the ascent of the mountain, which is 6,000 feet high, and had perhaps the most splendid view I have ever nad of the many mountain peaks I have ascended. St. Nicholas Island in the Pacific Ocean, certainly 100 miles from my point or observation, was clearly visible, and the parity of the upper sky SURPASSED ANYTHING I had ever seen. The mountain is certainly eminently fitted for the best astronomical ob servation. Whilo it will be most certainly more difficult to construct a road to the top of the mountain than to the top of Mount Hamilton, there will be very much less work to do at the summit. A 40-inch telescope is proposed for this site, and Prof. Pickering has suggested a 24-inch photographer's telescope with which it is expected the most perfected chart of the skies will be obtained, ana in very much less time than by the methods proposed at the Paris Conference of Astronomers. At a ban quet given by the citizens of Pasadena on tho evening after the day of my ascent to the top of the mountain, great interest was manifested in the project, and there is likely to be placed on the summit of Mount Wilson an observatory equal to that on Mount Hamilton in its equip ment. It is certainly true that the Pacific coast has a marvelously pure sky for astronomical ob servations on these mountain peaks during the summer. We may look to much of the future advance in astronomical research from that part of our great country. I met many pleasant gentlemen from the East in that section of the country. When I left it was with a feeling of kindness toward the good people of the Pacific coast. CE0WS REARRESTED. Detective Allen, of This City, Brought Him Back From Cleveland. . Detective Allen, of the Gilkinson Detec tive Agency, arrived in the city last night from Cleveland, having in charge B. F.r Crows, an escaped alleged forger, who has been wanted here ior the past three months. Crows, it will be remembered, was the real estate agent doing business on Federal street, near Lacock, Allegheny City. He cot into some trouble with James L. Orr, from whom he purchased the business, and was charged by Mr. Orr with forging his name to the amount of about $1,700. He was arrested and locked up to await trial. "One day, while being taken from the jail to the Sheriff's office to give an alimony bond for his wife, Crows gave the deputy sheriff the slip and in the crowd got away. The police of this city made efforts to find him, but they were unsuccessful. Themat ter was placed in the hands of the Gilkinson agency, and Detective Allen was assigned to work it up. The officer got a clew, and finally located his man in Cleveland. Going there he found him working in a sawmill and arrested him. Crows made a slight effort to escape, but the detective was too quick for him, and managed to get him , away. He was locked up in the jail, and will now have two charges to answer. MUST COME DOWU. The B. & O. Office Building Condemned n Unsafe by the Inspector. Building Inspector Frank spent Tuesday night in examining the building, corner "Wood street and Fifth avenue, in which the Baltimore and Ohio ticket and freight offices are located. The examination was made on the petition of two citizens, and Friday has been set for an appeal. The inspector condemned the building as unsafe, and yesterday Division Passenger Agent E. D. Smith and J. D. Zimmerman, of the United States Express, spent the day on the avenue looking for new offices. The new Baltimore and Ohio depot will be ready in six weeks, and the freight offices will be located there. The impression seems W prevail that if the corner building is removed that all the structures between Fifth avenue and Dia mond street, on "Wood street, will hare to come down.
