been murdered and put there for con-

Correspondence of the Toronto Globe.l
SIR: The recent displays Of aurora at
Toronto we're remarkable for their deep
red color. In answer to many inquiries
with reference to the cause Of this color,
| will give an account of several obser-
yations of these displays. find indica-
tons that the red light is due to the pas
sage of the polar light through stratum
of infinitely divided meteoric matter,
Just as the rays Of sunlight appear red
when passing through atmosphere loaded
with smoke.
The conclusion is partly confirmed by
an experiment made 10y myself on the
evening of October 2I
On this occasion the bright red light
was succeeded by the usual gray mist OF
frozen yapor, which increases IN den
sity TO a very unusual extent. Feeling
sure that this dense matter must be tall
ing TO the earth, | at once thoroughly
cleaned glass slide. and exposed it on
an elevated position. After one hour
examined the exposed surface with q
powerful miscrocope, and was delighted
10 find that the slide had received and
retain hundreds of small bodies, uniform
in size and appearance, aud easily dis
tinguished from dust and other objects
usually found in the atmosphere. They
are spherical, solid, firmly attached 10
the glass, about l-j000th Of an inch m
diameter, or about one-half the size OF
the human red globule.
What are these little bodies2 Where,
and how do they originated think we
may be able, partially at least, toanswer
these questions.
Space, in the regions of auroral cur
rents. certainly is filled by our atnlos-
phere in rarified condition. Now, ow-
ing to its density, the oxygen OF air Will

um acted upon by the dilligent electric
currents, producing white anroral light.
This is always succeeded by gray APP
pearancs of the sky, caused by the pro
duction and condensation OF aqueous
vapor in the form Of spherical bodies
which fell upon my glass slide, and
which, upon eyaporating, have left the
meteoFic mineral matter they contained

something of their history, and point us
