The breadth of the line is about 50 niilea. The eclipse will be totnl at ew Orleans at about S.22 a. m., Washington time. The eclipse will be visible in Macon, Itakigh, Norfolk and inter mediate and neighboring points. Crossing the ocean, the land first touched is near the. port of Coimhra, Spain, passing southeast acrosr, south ern Kurope and the Mediterranean sea. Thus all the astronomers in both hem isphere: will he within easy distance and with every facility for using nny amount of intrumcntal equipment.
