Observations of the Eclipse.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The observations of the eclipse, which were made last Saturday night at the Harvard Observatory, were satisfactory. The weather was very favorable. A number of occultation of stars were made by means of which the moon was located in the heavens. According to the programme of observations the moon's surface was examined before and after the eclipse, but no material change could be seen. The Linne, a white spot on the moon, was however found to have increased as a result of the eclipse. The measurement of the various spots were made by means of a micrometer, which was attached to a telescope. In addition to the two large telescopes, which were used in making the observations, two photographic telescopes were employed.
