Abstract
DR. MORTON, Professor of Chemistry in the University of Pennsylvania, has kindly forwarded me photographs of the phenomena of totality. By combining in the stereoscope pairs of these, separated by intervals of about half-a-minute of time, the black globe of the moon appears projected far in front of the luminous prominences and the corona, which are, therefore, clearly seen to belong to the sun. Glass transparencies from negatives specially selected for this purpose, and appropriately mounted, would show these phenomena in a very striking manner.
