RsEDr. A. w Hall read a naney

RE DR.. A. w. Hall read paper
before the Polytechnic Branch of the
American institute in New York Thurs
day evening, on the cause Of auroral
lights. His theory is that the boreal
display is produced by the rays Of the
snn, which are reflected from clouds
surrouuding the pole 10 the ice and
snow of the Arctic regions, and thence
again reflected to the clouds, and SO
back and fourth, until it comes within
our range of vision. The glancing and
flashing of the columns of light, he holds,
are caused by the motion of the clouds.
This is inserted as u new theory Of the
auroral lights. We believe it is true
theory, but not exactly now theory,
for i. has been a long time before the
public.

TIE SUEZ CANAL.

Now that the Suez canal is complet-
ed, says the World, We may begin to
speculate upon its probable practical
value to commerce. The official rule
for its navigation have recently been
promulgated, and from them we can
form some idea of its future usefulness.
The tariff of canal and pilot charges
which vessels passing through it will be
required to pay is somewhat formidable.
In the case Of ship of one thousand
tons burden and most Indianmen will
exceed this size-the charges would be
as follows: For the mere right of pas
sage she would pay ten francs per ton,
amounting in the aggregate to 10000
francs. Her towage dues would DO 2 f.
per ton, or 1000 francs in all. The
permission to anchor longer than TWEEN
ty-four hours at the entrance to the Ca
nal would be paid for at the rate of s
confines per ton per day, which, if she
Only remained single day-and if the
Indian trade flows through the canal
she could hardly find room to be admit
ted earlier-would amount to so francs
more. Then, her pilotage dues, which
will be regulated by her draft of water,
we may estimate at 200 francs, which
would be pretty sure to fall below the
amount. The total sum which the ship
must pay is therefore 1920 francs, Or,
at rough estimate, $2400 in gold. If
the same vessel were to make the voyage
by the way of the Cape of Good Hope,
she would save this sum-incurring of
course, on the other hand, the cost of
the subsistence CT her crew during the
long voyage, tho wear of the vessel, and
the depreciation in freight in conse.
auence of the longer time which she
would require to bring her cargo to a
market.
