SAW TWO SUNSETS IN ONE DAY.-One of the finest
slghts Professor Steiner the eronaut, SAYS he ever
saw, was view he had of two sunsets, while ON his
oalloon TRIP from Milwaukee on the 5th inst. He was
at certain altitude the first time, when he saw the
sun go down upon Lake Michigan, and then de-
scended to the waters of the lake Afterwards he
commenced rising very rapidly, and soon reached
such an altitude that the fiery orb began to rise,
apparently, from the Western waters, and ere long
he was once more in full sunlight Then as he de-
scended again, the sun sank beneath the waters a
second time, thus affording two sunset views in a
single day. The Professor says, as the appeared
10 rise the second time, it was one of the finest
visions he ever witnessed, and the spectacle was of
'he most magnificent description.
