from the time first observed it then gradually be-
came smaller until more dim, and it was entirely

on board of some vessel, but was soon undeceiyed.
1t moved along, apparently parallel TO the shore for
about two miles in the time that was riding one,

it for few minutes from my view Passing this
observed it about half way back to the place where
it had commenced its yagrant career then stopp-

remained still for some time-then moved off quick

and lustre were subject to the same unsteadiness
described above.
This lucid meteor has long been known by the
name of the Paatine light BY the ignorant and
superstitious, it is thought to be supernatural. Its
appeation originated from that of a ship called the
palatne, which was desgnedly cast away, at this
place, in the beginning of the last century, liz order
to conceal, tradition reports, the inhuman treat
ment and murder of some Of its unfortunate passen-
gers From this time, il is said the Palatnc light
appeared, and there are many who firmly believe
it 10 be ship of fire, to which their fantastic and
distempered imaginations figures masts, ropes and
flowing sails.
The cause of this rowing brightness" is o cur
ous subject for philosophical investigation. Some.
perhaps, will suppose it will depend upon peculiar
modification of electricity; others upon the inflam-
nation of phlogogstous (hydrogenous) gas. But
there are, possibly many other means, unknown
TO US, by which light may be devolved from those
materials with which ii is atenty associated, by the
power of chemical aflinities.
