Free, head of the sclentific American's expedition at Easthampton, Long Island, over a speclal telephone wire to the New York studlo of station WOR. The corona, said Dr. Freé, was larger and more beautiful than had been expected. Two prominences were visible to the astronomers at East- ‘hampton. Weather conditions were perfect, Dr, Iree reported, and a scrles of photographs and motion plctures was obtained, which, it is expected, will be satisfactory, Insofar as the 'sclentists could judge, he sald, the, Buffalo and | Easthampton panlc‘ worked = per- fectly. “All of the astronomers kept and persons, among them membersd their heads,"” he added, Dr, Free said no important an- nouncements of the effect of the eclipse on radio transmigsion and re- ception ‘will be made for a week.
