Three miles north, just above Three Mile creek. there was a perfect eclipse, the totality lasting for live seconds, with the darkness of twilight.

Above this point the morning mist was heavy and although the sun could be seen through it, no observations of the corona could be made during the totality, which period at Citronelle, in the center of the shadow's path, lasted one minute and ten secohds, beginning at 7:35 1-2 o'clock. A large party of Mobile people went to Citronelle on a special train and were much disappointed at the mist, which interfered with the observations.

Chicago, May are chagrined, humiliated and exasperated by the puerile and absurd construction placed on the anti-canteen law by the attorney-general of the United States, and, with all due respect to his exalted station, we recognize the fact that we are pained and disappointed at the course of the president in accepting as final and satisfactory an opinion without binding force. Such an abuse of power is nullification in its most dangerous form. Upon the president, as chief of our army, rests the responsibility for the existence of the canteen saloon, an evil which he has ample power to suppress, a More deadly foe to the soldiers than the bullets or the tropical heat." 11 PHOTOGRAPH EXPOSURES.

Prof. Charles Burekhalter, observer in chafge, gives the following statement regarding his work: "The sky was clear at this point, and the full program of the eleven photograph exposures was carried out. The corona appeared strikingly like that of the eclipse in India in IS98. The Cabot expedition has the only apparatus in the world that will give short exposures on the bright inner corona while giving long exposures on the faint part at the same time on the same plate. The pictures taken vary from two to twelve-hundredths of a second at the moon's limb, and four to eight seconds at the outer Jim- It, two plates giving four to eight-hundredths inside and four and eight seconds outside exposures, with intermediate exposures for intermediate places.
