LUNAR ECLIPSE.
APPEAL TO CHINA. COAST CAPTAINS.
Bolow we give a cops of a lottor from Professor Fistor, of the Harvard Observatory, on the sub jeot of the Total Lunar Kollpan of 1924, August 14-15. In forward- ing it to us, Mr. T. F. Claxton,' Director of the Observatory, saye:-"I trust the appeal will mobt with a ready response from all shipmasters in the China Son and between Formosa and Jagian; alao, from amatour observere along the south coast of Chlria." The lottorin as follows:-
Since it has long boon known that the illumination of the moon during total oclipse, or within the corti ́sumbra, "is dus to light| passing through the earth'e at- mosphere over tho aunriso-sunsat lino, it has often been suggested that the woather along the sunrise-sunnot line bo studiod, for; the interpretation of the peculiari. ties of this illumination. This however, has never been done; Land, indood, to collect informa-) tion about the weather along the whole sunrise-suneot Iino.! ovor-all- the terrostrin)-area- jswopt by the groat oircle during an eclipse of the moon, would be 411 expensive and
laborious task, oven if the very high latitudes through which it always passes wore not inaccus- siblo.
But a sinali baglaning can bo made, by detormining the weather in those neighbourhoods of thes earth's surface which are respon- sible for the illumination of thei noon's limb at the four contacts with the shadow.
