The Nautical Almanac office of the naval observatory here had forecast that the eclipse would begin at .3 hours 41 minutes 4 seconds. castern standard time. The astronomical movement, however, commenced at 3 hours 41 minutes § seconds. The last contact occurred at 5 hours. 32 minutes and 29 seconds, while the prediction for this step was 5 hours 32 minutes and 33 seconds. In 1900, it was pointed out. the astrononiers were 20 seconds off the actual time in their predictions. Covered Half Sun. Observations made here showed | covered 50 per cent of the diameter of the sun at the height of the eclinse, while in Cali- fornia the entire diameter was ob. scured. Through a telescope astrono- mers saw the right portion of the sun covered up. which resembled a curved slice removed from the blaz- ing circle. George H. Peters. assisted by C. B. Watts. photographed the eclipse at the Naval Observatory at 3 p.m. before the. eclipre had reached its greatest magnitude, later photo- graphs being impossible, as a tree appeared between the photohelio- graph and the sun.
