so great as to be imperveus TO the suns rays
hence the darkness: its increase and dlml-
mutton after 9 o'clock, may be explained 81
supposing a greater or less quantity OF vapor'
al given times.
Remark, by Correspondent Of the ProVi-
dencs Patriot.
The phenomenon so well described W Inc
above extract, is certainly calculated TO ex-
tito tbe attention OF the curious. Whether
the explanation given Of it by the writer is
satisfactory, may be a question. Similar ap-
pearances were observed, at or about the
same time, over wide extent OF our country;
fact which could not have been known 10
The writer in his insulated situation or his
we'll known ingenuity might have suggested
some different solution than the "winds"
sweeping Lakes Huron and Michigan, IN OPP
posite directions, and joining " their dark en-
counter in mid air." The fact is, that 1cen-
ther-uisdom is still copectural science.
