Cause Of the.Red Color Of Aurora ..Bo
realis--Fali Of Auroral. Matter at To
ronto.
To the Editor of the Toronto Globe:

To the Editor of the Toronto Globe:
SIR-The recent display of auro-
IA at Toronto were remarkable for
their deep red color.
In answer to many inquiries with
reference to the cause of this color,
l will give an account of several OBJ
servations of these displays. l find
indications that the light is due to
the passage of the polar light
through stratum of minutely divid-
ed meteoric matter, just as the rays
of sunlight appear red when pass
ing through atmosphere loaded with
smoke. ~
The conclusion is partially con-
firmed by an experiment made by
myself on the evening of October
"a. '1. f'
On this occasion the bright red
light was succeeded by the usual
gray mist of frozen vapor, which
increased in density to a very unusu-
al extent. Feeling sure that this
dense matter must be falling to the
earth, / at once thoroughly cleaned
a glass slide, and exposed it in an
elevated position. After one hour
I examined the exposed surface
with a powerful microscope, and
was delighted to find that the slide
had received and retained hundreds
of small bodies, uniform in size and
appearance, and easily distinguish
ed from dust and other objects usu-
ally found in the atmosphere. They
are spherical, solid, firmly attached
to the glass, and about .one-5000th
of an inch in diameter, or about one
half the size of the hnman red
blood globule. "
What are these little bodies?
Where and how do they originate?
l think we may be able, partially at
least, to answer these questions.
Space, in the regions of auroral
currents, certainly is filled by our
own atmosphere in rarified condi-
ton. Now, owing to its density, the
oxygen of air will retain a tangible
form to greater altitude than other
gasses, and hence (perhaps in an al
lotrapid form) is the medium acted
upon by the different electric cur
rents, producing white auroral light.
This is always caused by the pro-
duction and condensation of aque-
GUS vapor, in the form of the mi
mute spherical bodies which fell upon
my glass slide, and which, upon
evaporating, have left the meteoric
mineral matter they contained, to re-
cord in solid form their shape and
something Of their history, and
point us to the probable cause of
the red color of our late displays of
aurora borealis.
/ may add, that under polarized
light this substance exerts left
handed rotation of twenty degrees.

THE POPULATION OF OHIO.

The census returns for Ohio are
complete. The total population is
2,652, 1902. Seventy counties show
gains and eighteen show losses since
the last census. The agricultural
districts of the older settled parts
have uniformly lost while the most
of the cities have. gained. Knox
county has 1880 people less than it
had ten years ago. na'
The following is the population of
some Of the principal cities:
Cincinnati, 21s,900; Cleveland,
93,0ls; Toledo, 31,693; Columbus,
81 1886; Dayton, 30,S66.

San Domingo.

After all the United States may
lose the prize of San Domingo, such
as it is. There seems to be some
foundation for the statements that
Bismarck is negotiating for this
island, and that the people are ready
for annexation to Germany, if the
United States will not take them.
1t is probable that the scheme to
annex San Domingo will gain sup
porters on account of this move
ment, if only to head off another
European power from gaining a foot
hold in America.

Another Letter from Gen. Hazen.

NRw YORK, Nov. 10.-The EUe-
ming Mail has another letter from
General Hazen. That distinguished
officer says: The Prussians are
bringing up about two thousand
siege guns, including the big Krupp
gun exhibited in Paris in 1867. 1t
will take them some time to get
these guns in position. If Paris
will not then surrender it must ac-
eept the consequences. Not one
gun has yet been fired into Paris.
nor will one be fired until there is
enough in position to make it mad
ness for the French to accept the
German fire. The Germans are Ger
tainly most remarkable people.
They never return the fire of the
French, nor appear in conspicuous
places to draw fire upon themselves.
They are always forbearing, and al
ways have a kind word for any one
They have done very little pillaging,
only taking by requisition whatever
was needed for military purposes.
France is full of food, and even in
those portions where the armies
have passed there is an abundance.
The stories of the sufferings of the
Provinces of Alsace and Lorraine
are the grossest exaggerations. The
army around Metz has lived entire
ly from its base of supplies, while
the army relieved at Strasburg is re-
organizing the municipalities of Al
SAGE and Lorraine on German prin-
ciples, which will effectually abate
any suffering from want of food.
But few, probably hundred
and fifty guns, have been very ac-
tive the past week in making fas-
cines and gabions, and getting ready
to establish batteries. The Ger
mans have not shown that enter
prise in rebuilding their lines OF
communication which was so con-
spicuous in our own war, but they
have been less dependent upon
them, the country being full OF food.

THE ELECTION NOT A DEFEAT.

% 1t is now possible to tell with some
accuracy just what the elections
have accomplished. That the re-
suits have not been as favorable to
the Republican party as in previous
years is due partly to..the natural
apathy of voters in the "off" year,
and more particularly to dissensions
within the party, of which some
were caused by inordinate personal
ambition. But with all that has
operated to the disadvantage of the
Republican party in the late cam
paign, the general result is really
more favorable than Republicans
themselves expected, and unerringly
indicate that the people still believe
in the principles of our party, and
have no idea of abandoning them,
though they may go back on treach-
erous leaders. 20. ig 'r'- --.,
In Massachusetts, Clafin's major
ity is greater than it was before. The

Wilson, New Jersey has come bold
" to the rescue. Two Congress-
men have been gained; but this is
not all.oi A Legislature has been
chosen that will send a Republican
Senator to Washington in place of
Cattell. Delaware had a sharp fight.
The Democrats carried the State by
500, a falling off on their part of
nearly 5000 since the Presidential
election. In Maryland, some Of the
Republicans didn't like to have the
negro vote with them, but that feel
ing will wear off in a couple of years,
and in 1872 we shall expect some
J Congressman from that State. We
gain little in louisiana, but lose in
Alabama and Arkansas, owing to
the reconstructed rebel vote. Two
Senators and two Representatives
are thus lost. Florida and Kansas
stood the fight boldly, and were
faithful to Republicanism, notwith-
standing rebel terrorism in the
former, and q Labor Reform ticket
in the latter. rH.sa8l H..
aa In New York the Republicans, as
the Tribune says,a numerous SEN
ough for one successful party, but
not for two," and deserve their de-
feat. /, Through harmony they might
have had it all their own way.
Through splits and non-voting, they
lost four districts that gave us from
1.7oe to 2,70o majority in 1868.
The national election law worked
weH, and we have to thank Presi-
dent Grants faithful execution of it
for the most quiet election the city
has known for years, with the few
est frauds, and consequently the
smallest Democratic majority.
The Democrats counted upon a
net gain of twenty-five members of
Congress. Instead, they only gain
eighteen members, while the Repub-
licans gain six, making their net
gain but twelve or fifteen, giving
them the Missouri Free Traders.
Reduction of taxation, reduction
of expenses will be the mission of
the next Congress, and if the work
is well done, to suit the best inter
ests of the country and not the
schemes of politicians, it will be
safe to expect complete Republi-
can victory in 1872. -ss. .-
