With this end In view parties of astronomers have been sent out bv various governments and scientific Insti tutions. Two have gone from the Unit ed States one from Lick Observatory, headed bv Prof. Perrine; the other from Washington, In charge of Prof. Skinner, which Is really composed of two par tiesone from the naval observatory, with eleven members, the other of two members from the Smithsonian Instltu tlon.

Holland and the United 8tates will be represented. The Dutch sent their party out in & man of war and the British, strange to say In these days of war in South Africa, accompanied them. The path of totality will reach Suma tra about noon and over a tract of country 120 miles In width the beautl ful phenomenon will be observed. At the center of ihe path the time of to tality during which the sun will be en tirely obscured will be six minutes and 27 second one of the longest eclipses of the century. It Is to avail them, selves of these few minutes of Inter' ventlon of the moon between the sun and the earth that Ihe thirteen as tronomers composing the United States expedition hive travelled half way round the world.
