Photographs of the Solar Eclipse
By Editor
The best photographs that were taken of the total eclipse of the sun May 28, or that ever were taken, were by Prof. Chas. Burckhalter, of this city, director of Chabot Observatory. By a special device of his own invention, the professor controls the light of the corona. A revolving diaphragm, the curves of which are mathematically computed, regulates the length of exposure. We hope to present a reproduction of one of these marvelous photographs in a future issue of the SIGNS, tho it is impossible to reproduce the fine details of the original negatives. In connection with this, we will print a cut from a photo of the partial eclipse of the same date, taken from the top of the SIGNS publishing house by a common kodak.
