HONOLULU, August 11.—Noted scien- | tists will view the total eclipse of the sun October 21 in the-Tonga Archipelago, which is approximately 20 degrees south | latitude and 170 degrees west longitude. | An expedition of scientists from the | Navy educational institutions and ob- servatories in the United States left San Franeisco July 21 and is due in Tutuila, Samoa, August 19. One of the party is Dr. Thomas A. Jaggar, jr., of the Kilausa Volcano Ob- servatory, Island of Hawall, who will study the volcanic and seismic condi- tions on the Niuafou Island, where the eclipse observations will be made. Niuafou is a very small volcanic island 300 miles west southwest of Tutuila. Primitive conditions prevail and only 2 white men and 110 natives live there. About 30 craters are on the island. Many of them have recently been ac- tive, and a major eruption occurred in June, 1929, which destroyed one of the two villages. There are no anchorages and only one precarious landing place. Comdr. €. H. J. Keppler will be in administrative charge. He headed the Navy's Expedition which observed the solar eclipse of May 9, 1929, from the vicinity of Iloilo, Philippine Islands. Lieut. H. C. Kellers, Naval Medical Corps, who was a member of the Naval Eclipse Expedition at Sumatra in 1926 and also of the 1929 expedition, will be medical officer and in charge of meteorological observations. At the re- quest of the Smithsonian Institution he will collect speciments of the Island Fauna and Flora. Prof. S. A. Mitchell, director of the Leander McCormick Observatory at the University of = Virginia, will conduct spectographic work. Kempton Adams 1s his assistant. Prof. R. W. Marriott, Swarthmore Coliege astronomer, will carry out coro- nal photography with & 63-foot camera, and make observations to test the Ein- stein theory.
