Northern Lights--High Tides.

On the evening of the 27th ult iOcto-
ber) there appeared one of the most
beautiful and remarkable aurora borea-
lis ever witnessed in this latitude. Short
ly after o'clock, p. M. the northern
sky was spanned with arches of pale
green quivering light, traversed with nu-
merous rays of the most brilliant red and
purple colors, extending far over the
heavens. The motions of these lumin-
Gus rays were exceedingly rapid and
graceful, well meriting the name of
''merry dancers" applied to them by the
natives Of northern Europe. We have
not witnessed such splendid aurona
since the month of January, 1888. Du-
ring the week referred to, the northern
lights appeared with different degrees
of brilliancy every night. and in conjunc-
ton with these, the tides rose several
feet higher on two successive days than
had been the case for several years.
This took place several days after full
moon, and at a period when very high
tides are unusual. What could have
been the cause of these wonderful nat
ural phenomena? In the polar regions
the aurora horealis is very common Gu-
ring the long dreary saason when no
light OF the sun appears. In these coun-
tries of perpetual frost and snow, the
brilliant red and orange colors of the
aurora impart a cheerful warm glow to
the chilling scenes of an Arctic winter.
Scientific American.
Ourreaders will remember the account
given by us Of a most remarkable exhi
bition of aurora borealis sometime since.
By a.comparison of dates we find the phe-
nomenon occurred on the same evening
given above by the Scientific American.
Thus it was visible in New York end
California at the same time; or rather
same evening. The exhibition com
menced in New York about 7 o'clock
and here about 9 as the difference be-
tween the two points in solar time is
about four hours, the phenomenon made
its appearance here about six hours
after it was first seen in New York.
A NEW TELEGRAPHIC ENTERPRIsE.-
The Boston Transcript says that Fred

with Atlantic telegraphing is well known
has started an undertaking for connect
ing Novia Scotia and Cape Ann by 6
submarine wire, which will render Bostor
| independent of New York in regard tC
communication with Halifax. The wire
from Cape Ann is TO touch the Novia
Scotia shore at Yarmouth, and will be
! between two hundred and three hundred
miles in lenghth. From Yarmouth the
telegraph extends overland to Halifax,
and is already built, and is under the
control Of Mr.. Osborne. The length OF
The entire line between Halifax and
Cape Ann will be about $50 miles, in
stead Of 700 miles, which the present
telegraph trayerses through Novia Sco-
tia, Brunswick, and Maine. The cost
Of the submarine connexion with Var
