~ J SUN DOGS 4 IT,
People who do not rise early these fine
winter mornings miss some splendid
" sceneries." Those who were out on
Tuesday morning witnessed what might
be called three sunrises and one NOON
set! The sun, apparently resting on the
prairie and seeming ten times its usual
size, shot up a vertical column of light
over a fourth Of the sky. This column
remained for probably an hour, and had
the appearance of an enormous tube
with huge globe full of boiling metal
at the lower end. Another idea sug-
gested was that ali immense comet had
fallen on the prairie, somewhere in the
neighborhood Of the ADVANCES home
stead, and was burning there with tail
erect. But the most wonderful effect
was the two reflections of this globe
and tube, one to the south and the other
to the north. The two reflections were
nearly as large and brilliant as the mid
die column and globe. In the western
sky, the full moon, belated and caught
in the very act of making splendid
night, turned her full face toward the
sun, and seemed determined for once
to dispute the possession Of the heavens
with her lord. We suppose Byron
would have written
The sun IS up, and yet it is not day,
Moonset divides the sky with him.
rsplendid atmospheric effects, COM
mend us to this glorious Northwestern
climate!
