ECLIPSE OF THE SUN.
United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. RUGBY, May 17. The Royal Observatory, Greenwich, intends sending two members of its scientific staff, Messrs Jackson and Davidson, to observe the solar eclipse on August 31, from the town of Parent, Quebec Province, where the totality will last for about 100 seconds. Elaborate preparations are being made for taking telescopic photographs of the corona and spectrum. Use will be made of the new Ilford infra-red sensitive plates, which by their high speed have opened out new possibilities in long-distance photography.
