Much of the information in view of the almost daily intelligence received | obtained by other means will be greatly in- from other sources, and statementsandestimates areased in value by the photographic records: of the cost of obtaining additional news, which If the spestronenpfat geir light of such and are printed in the Appendix, have been pre such a quality from certain part of the corona, pared to guide tha members in their delibera- the photograph will abow what was the aspect tiona
ot that particular portion. If a draughin. man succeeds (for a wonder) in picturing the corona with some degres of accuracy, the pho- tographe will rander it easy to interpret sich parte of the work as may be less perfect than the rest. Wo are inclined to hope great things, from the photographare of the approaching eclipse. Remembering that an invione lond Iconoesled the ann from Mr. Brothers for all but the last eleven seconds of totality, and that the photograph taken during eight of those secon is in for the best ploture of the corons în cxistence, it does certainly means reasonable to expect that the application of his mothad nn- der more favourable ekoumstances will lond results of the utmost interest and importance.

A BRAVE CONSUL GENERAL, (Japan Mail)
On the evening of Wednesday, the 6th Decem her as Mr. E. Zappa, Acting Conant-General for North Germany was passing near the Euglish Istoba, e heard cries of distress from some one in the water. He 'st'ouve plunged in, and succeeded with great difficulty in bringing on store a drunken Swedish sailor who had fallen into the water, and who, but for assistsner, would have been drowned,
The night was bitterly cold and the sea rough. It was so dark, too, that Mr. Zappe mistook the distance from whence the cries proceeded, and had to swim.some thirty yardı before to reached the object of his gallant exertions. Bo saved the life of Swede at the risk bis own, and we regret to say it at the penalty of a severe attack of rhinma tism, the effect of which has been to esafine him for many duga to his room, and to cripple him very seriously for some time.
We trust tho Swadiah Minister will not omit to bring the circumstance to the notion of bis Gorernment, and that if Prussia has a Royal Hamano Society, ita modal may be conferred on one of her sous who bus so well deserred it
TUR EULITSE EXPEDITION. (Telegraph.)

Meantime we must be content with wishing the expeditionists the vacoms they deserre, They have net sailed on a pleasure trip, an it is known that some of them have had to encrî. fice much in order to join the expedition. We say that whether fortune smile or frown on beir exertions, they have already deserved the applause of their fellow workers in science.
