Abstract
DR. SCHUSTER, the leader of the English Government Eclipse Expedition to Siam, in 1875, sails in the White Star Line ship Germanic to-day to observe the eclipse of the 29th instant. Prof. Thorpe, F.R.S., accompanies him on the same errand,. and will make magnetic observations over a great portion of his route. Mr. Norman Lockyer intends to sail in the Baltic on the 9th instant. We learn that the appropriation made by the American Government is so small that, in strange contrast to what has happened in the case of all English Expeditions since 1870, no facilities can be offered officially to observers from other countries. Still we doubt not that they will receive both welcome and aid from their confrères.
