Hitherto only tho favored fow, who could afford to spend days and perhaps weeks In travel, have been nblo to view tho great spectacle; this tlmo 1,000,000 peoplo at least can witness tho phenomenon from their own doorsteps. Other millions dwell within an easy day's Journey of tho path of totality, and far more than half tho entire popula tion of tho country will be nblo to witness a portion of tho show at homo, for a par tial ecllpso will be vlslblo In every state east of the Mississippi. Nature has ar ranged no similar display within n genera tion. Total eclipses wero vlslblo in the United States In 181.7, 1S78 and 1889, but their paths did not traverso closely' settled regions "All Aboard for the Kclliixe." Already tho railroads have begun to take advantage of the situation. None of tho great cities of New York, Philadelphia, Bal timore, Washington, Hlchmond, Pittsburg, Cincinnati and Louisville is more than twelvo or fourteen hours removed from tho path of totality, whllo somo aro much nearor. And, according to Prof. S. J. Urown, UBlionomlcnl director of tho Naval observa tory, arrangements aro being made 'by sev eral of tho lines which connect those cities with convenient localities where tho ocllpBe will be totul to run special eclipse excur sions, somo on tho day of tho event and somo on tho day Just preceding It. This will undoubtedly result in a temporary boom for many of the eclipse cities, Besides tho great towns mentioned every ono at the Atlantic coust citlts south of Norfolk is within easy reach of the great show and every ono of them will unquestionably send Its quota of sightseers. The accessibility of tho path of tho ecllpso will render tho coming event of Incalculable valuo to science. Preparations are being mado by nearly every scientific institution In tho country to placo their bc3t Instru ments nud most skilled observers in tho field. The United States government will spend thousands of dollars establishing ob servation stations nlong tho path of tho eclipse. An Undo Sam's chief star gazer, Prof. Drown will havo chargo of the gov ernment's principal observations. Ho Is making preparations for the work with a kuowlodgo born of long experience! and n natural genius in all matters appertaining to his sclenco. Ho has been connected with tho obscrvntory for nineteen years. Ho is a graduate of tho naval academy at Ans napolls and holds tho rank of commander In tho navy. "Greater results aro probablo from the obst'i-vatlonB this year," says Prof. Drown, "than from any tuken heretofore. During tho half decade slnco the Inst total eclipse thero have bcon great strides In improve mti.ts in tho apparatus employed in the work. Photography has bcon wonderfully developed nnd tho improvements In photo graphy alone may effect remarkable dis coveries during this yiltr's eclipse.

"Tho government Is already preparing to oocupy several stations along tho path of totality. Tho necessary npparatus is being gathered and arranged nnd men specially adapted for tho work aro being engngod and their special parts In tho observations aro bolng outlined. Congress has allowed $5,000 to the Naval observatory for oxponses nnd $1,000 to tho Smithsonian Institute. Tho Naval ohsorvfttory will seurt out two expe ditions, The points from which they will observe the eclipse have not yet been chosen definitely, but they will probably be . lo cated about 200 miles apart, oue In North Neglect of a Cough or Soro Throat often results in an Incunibto Lung Disease or Consumption.

A float- ' Ing cloud which might obscuro the eclipse nt one point may not nlTcct In the ullghtest the view from the other, nnd It Is to obvlatu the danger from cloudiness that has caused tho division of forces. I "In anticipation of this year's ecllpso the 1 weather bureau has for three years past been collecting data of the weather condl- . tlons In past Mays tlong tho lino of totality ' at all tlmtH of the day. Tho result of this Investigation has been to show that there Is less danger of cloudiness In central Ocor- , Rla and eastern Alabama, nearly due south of Atlanta, and that therefore this Is tho I best region for locating the eclipse stations no far as that consideration Is concerned. Tho scientists of the observatory, however, have taken thought of other conditions also, nnd although tho pcilod of eclipse is longer , In tho neighborhood of Norfolk, have nbout decided to establish stations on high ground In North Carolina and Georgia. The sta tions selected will bo occupied two or three weeks before the cellpfie. The Instruments will bo erected aud the part each man Is to tat'o will be thoroughly rehearsed. There: will bo careful division of tho work J during the eclipse. Each man will ho us- i signed to some particular duty, and ho will j bend every effort to the gathering of all datn possible In that connection. There will i ho hut n minute nud a half In which to make I all the observations, and It is lmperutlvc thnt tho whole affair should be carefully systematized aud that each man should know definitely and absolutely what ho Is to do. "No previous ocllpso has had the attention of so many skilled observers as will watch this one. Tho Smithsonian Institute will havo a corps In tho field under Prof. S, P. I.angley. Princeton college will have a force under Prof. Young; the University of Penn sylvania under Prof. Stone, nnd tho Ycrkrs observatory will conduct nn expedition with Prof. Hale nt Its head. These nro only a I fow cf tho Institutions which nro preparing ' for tho field. In fnct, practically every college and xclentlflc institution In the coun try will be represented. All told probably 100 expeditions of this kind will bo sent to tho path of totality and equipped for some portion of tho work. "Tho ecllpso will be n great attraction for amatours persons who own photographic outfits or other scientific Instruments U3ed lu observing the phenomena of the solar eclipse. Letters have been received at the observatory which warrant the prognostica tion that probably 1,000 of these unattached 'amateurs' will be somewhere along the path of tho eclipse. Tho government does not discourage these amateurs, out rather gives thera every encouragement, and courts con tributions of photographs nnd data from thom to add to tho government records. It is remembered that one of tho finest setn of photographs of the ecllpso in India In 1896 was taken by an amateur with n home made camera, but one having an excellent lens. Amateurs have been a help in tho field In many instances and they aro always ready to volunteer their services. When Prof. Cambell of tho Lick observatory went to observe the ecllpso In India he took only ms -wiie tor assistant; on the field ho found all tho trained volunteers necessary to manipulate the seven Instruments ho made uso of. "Tho expeditions to ho sent out by the Naval observatory will not be largo ones. They will consist probably of flvo or six observers, including photographers. Hut the men sent will bo tho 03t procurable. Tho government naturally has superior resources to draw on for making observations. It has at its disposal tho lenses and spectroscopes gathered during tho last twenty-five years, and its appropriation of monoy Is probably larger than any of tho Institutions could nf ford to devote to tho purpose Largo Instru ments are now being prepared for uso next May. A number of special photographic In struments ranging from a forty-inch tele scope down will be orccted on the field. In struments will be selected In all cases be cause of special fitness." Tho Naval observatory will shortly have ready for distribution a little pamphlet con taining a map of the path of the ecllpso on a sulllclont scale to show most of tho towns and cities, railroads and streams nnd the clovatlon of points along tho path of total ity, together with tho ojact tlmo of tho eclipse. It will also contain suggestions for amateurs, by following which they may be able to contrlbuto much that Is valuable from their observations. After tho ecllpso tho observatory will pub lish n complcto report of observatlous, with reproductions of photographs nnd drawings. Any sketches, photographs and observations of contacts in any observation of nuinclciit merit to make thcra worthy of preservation will gladly be received by the scientists and included in this publication. itm.icious.
