In the Olid World, says the Intel- ligencer, the preparations for the scientific obser- vations of this eclipse have been so considerable as to have been made the subject of international communication. The Spanish Government, Te February the National Observatories of the world, our own —s the number, offering every convenience and aid in its power to. astronomers who might wish to make Spain the of observation. As, however, the path of the ecll; travetses our own continent, it is obvious that, beside economy of time in traveling, 1t would be more advanga- are to science for American observers to re! n America than to betake themselves to Spain, where Spanish, English, French, German, &c.. astronomers will be gathered in ample quantities and ata varlety of places sufficient for all pur- It is understood that the Spanish astronomers recommend four s in their country as best adapted to observation, namely, in the Montes de Oca, Moncayo, the neighborhood of Calatayud, and Castellon de la Plana. The French Expedi- tion, directed og Be Faye, it is supposed will be stationed on the heights of porgeens other French observers have been placed at Pa! , in Majorca, and Bugia, in Algeria. The Royal’ Astronomer of England, Prof Airy, will observe at Santander, but other British parties will occupy stations at Portugalete, Bilboa, Pampeluna, &c. An as- tronomer from Bavaria to place himself at the mouth of the Ebo, on the Mediterranean, and has no doubt done so. On the northwest coast of America the Re nomenon will be observed by the members of the American and Britisk Boun! Survey, but the most important observation will be at Cape Chid- ley, the nofttheast po of Labrador. To this spot an expedition been sent from the United tates, with a party of astrenomers, under the direction of the head of the U S. Coast Survey. The leading astronomer among them is under- stood to be Prof. a Alexander, the distin- gulekes Professot of Astronomy in the College of New Jersey, at Princeton, who will be assisted by his nephew, a son of Prof. Joseph Henry, LL.D, of the Smithsonian Institute, and a num- ber of othér scientific-gentlemen. The central line of the moon’s shadow will Strike the coast of North America fifteen miles north of the mouth of Columbia river (lat. 46° 25 N.) soon after sunrise, and the breadth of the shadow there will be eighty miles. Movi ng thence in a northeast direction, it will pass near to Olympia; across the southetn extremity of Flathead Lake, and north of Lake Winnepeg, to York Factory, in latitude 57° north, and on the southwest side of Hudson’s Bay. At Fort York the breadth of the shadow will be one hundred and five miles. It will leave this continent at Copechidiey, (or Chudleigh,) the northeast point of Labrador. in latitude 59% north, and, bending first eastward and afterwards to ‘the northeast, after traversing the Atlantic ocean, it will reach Spain near to Santander, on the Bay of Biscay. ‘The shadow will next pass over the entire surface drained by the waters of the river Ebro; nearly all of the Balearic Islands, except Minorca; strike Algeria near Cape Carbon; pass to the south of Tripoli; and, finally. at 10b. 46m. a. m , (mean Washington time,) it will leave the earth at Mas- sowa, on the Red Sea. The end of the eclipse will be about an hour later. ‘To the city of Washington the eclipse will com- mence at four minutes of seven to morrow morn- ing; the middle of the eclipse will be at seven minutes of eight; the greatest obscuration at six minutes past elgbt; and the end at ten minutes of nine o’clock She digits eclipsed onthe sun's north side will be five, that is, a little less than one half of the solar disc. The point of tirst con- tract of the two discs of the sun and moon will be iS° from the north, through the west. We append, in conclusion, the following interesting remarks on this eclipse, for which we are indebted to one of the gentlemen at the National Observatory in this city: *-Belipses of the sun are not now of the same im- portance to astronomers as formerly—their uses, in determining differences of longitude, having now for some time been superseded by observa- tions of phenomena more frequent in ocenrrence and of more ready Laps prong But since Is42total and annular eclipses of the sun bave become {n- teresting on account of peculiar appearances then frst seen about the disc of the moon during jhe contact of the centres of the two luminaries, or at the instant of greatest obscuration They were first observed by Prof Schumacker, at Vienna, and his account was for some time questioned asan op- tical tMusion, or depending upon physioloyicol conditions; but the reality of the appearances have received since then such repeated confirmation as to refuse explanation on such ground. ‘Their ap- pearances consist of red and changeable protuber- ances seen surrounding the disc of the moon while projected on that of the sun. Since their existence has been certainly established, or more particularly since the eclipse of 151, they have been the subject of much discussion, and have served for the formation of several theories as yet not sufficiently established. {tis this unexplained peculiarity of solar eclipses which makes that of the ISth of the present month so important, and bas strung along the centre of the track of its shadows upon the centre a cordon of astronomers rarely or never before gathered to look at the seme phenomenon, and extending from Oreyon, on the Pacific, to the sources of the Niger, in Africa We need not add that their appearances are not visible at places where the phase is ouly partial, as here. Nevertheless, there are and peculiar- ities deserving notice, among which are the sinister and ghastly hue which follows even a partial obscuration—its effect upon animals, the change of temperature, and other etfects which have been treated of atalrge elsewhere, and for which we have no place here.”’ HISTORT OF THIS ECLIPSE. The first appearance of this eclipse since the creation of the world (according to sscred chro- nology) was in the year A. D. 958, Dec. 8, 0.8., at 10 o'clock 50m. forenoon.when the moon’s umbra Jost = in contact with the earth at the south pole; it bas appeared every nineteenth year since, a at cack return cpl ieee shadow across the earth from west to east, a little ‘urther to the north at each return, until the year 1644, March 3, O. S., when the center of the moon's shadow a little to the north of the earth’s center (the moon =e 14 min. 46 sec. from her Sewing node,which was its 3th pe riodical return). It has continued to appear every nineteenth year since 1661, until this eclipse which is its Gist periodical return. [ts next 25 pearance will bein 1878, July 29, at 3 o’clock 23 min. in the morning, invis{ble in the United States. It will also sien again in 1296, August a nineteenth 2274, April 25, when the the earth at the North pole, which will be its 76th periodical and year until the Isst appearance, until the expiration of 12.492 , When it will come on again at the South Pole, and go through a similar course. ‘Tar Brecxinaines anv Lang Merrinc Last pursuance of a published call, in- fe and Lane to attend an adjourned nizing an ‘he meeting ized by the election of was Mr. Daniel Ratcliffe as Chairman, and Mr. Wolfe, Sec retary.
