He replied, they should not have them. They said
they would burst open the door and take them ;
whirl, they acForchngly did. He went is to pre-
vent their taking any thin:, else ; they, however,
did not attempt any thing of the kind. Hot le said
to him there is no law for me, and knocked the

but their whale object appeared to.be plunder and
Mischief, which they had perlietnited•iti various

AURORA BOREALIS.

'CO TILE EDITOR.

The phenomenon called the 'hirers Berealis,•
so far as I know, has never uteu satisfactorily ac-
counted for. It seems to be the general,,,
..ofur as I b3Ve been able to discover, that eke-
tricity is the cause thereof; but to that hypotbesia
there are insuperable objections.
Were the streamers, as that phenomenon is com-
monly called, produced be electricity, they would
lx inottt C4Mlrlit)ll during the hottest weather in the
ill/1111M' mouths; the atmosphere at that seasou
ithoutirling roost with the electric fluid. However,:
the reverse of this is the fact; streamers are only
seen in Autumn, Winter, mut Spring, cud com-
monly in coldish weather.
Streanicni do net seem to bare any resemblance
to the electric fluid it) any thing but their flashing
light, and that nay hr. snore siutply and rationally
accounted for, by attributing it to the reflection of
light from the ',wilier or ice in the Northern Seas.
Whenahey appear, as they frequently do, with-
out motion, wee may suppose the sea, in those north-
ern regions, from whence the light is reflected, per-
fectly calm ; or it may lie hound up in ice. Some-
thing to illustrate this may he seen by placing a ba-
sal uud water within a window, in such a tuatinet
as the sun may shine upon the water, without its
(the water) being agitated by the air or any other,
thin; ; in this cube a luminous spot will appear on
some part of the cieling, or uu sonar abject within
the room.

When they assume that fantastic appearance,
which vulgar apprehension often 1 kenos to hostile
armies mixed in the beat of battle, and thence pre-
tends to foretel the fate of nations, it is likely the
light i► reflected from a troubled seta, or perhaps
from ice broken iuto-innumerable lakes by a par-
tial thaw, and agitated by the wind or tide. If it
is reflected from the ice always as nee flake is im-
pelled upon another, it will recoil aar shrink back a
little, and this will cause the rapid intermixture and
sudden striating of the-streamers from place to place.
If the light is reflected luau the cater of the sea
only, without ice, it will have'nearly the sane effect
if it fie agitated with the wind. By letting the air
play upon the boson and water, the luminous spot
on the ceiling will acquire a motion like that of the
streamers, when they are produced by light reliect-
ed from the agitated waters of the sea; and if a
mirror be sultstatated flu- the 'mason and water, and
occasionalr. moved by the hand, an exact represent-
ation. though upon a small scale, will be seen of
the streamers, when they ate produced by light re-
Betted from agitated flake: of ice: They will ap-
pear fainter or brighter, in proportion to the light
that falls upon the water or ace trout whence it is
reflected.—When it is very cloudy or foggy wea-
Aber in these northern regions, no streamers will
appear
I do not know whether this is a new way of ac-
counting for the Juror. Borealis or not, only I can
assure iron, it is new to me, having lacier heard it
hinted before ; I thought of and suggested it my-
self: nor do I remember ever to have read any
thing to the purpose. Therefore, if you will in-
sert it in your Paper, you will oblige,
Sir, yours, 11r.e. FILANCIS LITTLE.
II oddva Parisi, Aug. 3, ism

Upon stating the above hyrothesis, I have, at va-
rious tikes, and by different persons, been asi.o.cl,
why the .trearn...rs have only appeared in modern
times ? wane of thele !serious alle4iiig, that they
first appeared at the tune of the Revolution (in
Britain) ; other., that their first appearauce was
about the time of the Rebellion, in the year 174.5;
whileMbers assigned no particular sera for the time
of their first appearance ; hut all agreeing that it
was hut of late date. To this it may be answered,
that it was possible that the streamers may he of
more ancient date than airy of the times Isere men-
tioned, but only hare not been particularly noticed;
or, what is more probable, the observations made
upon them have not been put on record till lately,
wad, enaccquently, such as were made in very early
times hare not come to our kuowledge.
