n DARK DAY.


One hundred years ago today what
has sincs been known a. THE Dark
Day" occurred In the New England
States. For several days before the
eventual day the air had been full Of
smoke. and the sun had looked red like
blood. At IL O'Clock A. N. OF that day
Il was 90 dark that IL became necessary
to light candles. Many persons we're 80
frightened that they fell on their knees
in prayer under the impression that the
last day had come. The brute erea.
ton seemed crazed. horses neighsd,
and chickens sought their roosts.
At I o'clock in the afternoon the inky
darkness became impenstrable. The
night Of the 10Th was perhaps the dark
est ever known. although the moor had
fullsd the day before.
For years the dark day was . theme
Of wonder to those who Witnessed 1t. and
but few ever arrived at q true explains
ton Of its cause. the general supposi.
ton being that II was an unexplainabls
miracle.
"But there 10 every reason to believe
that the cause 10 known. For days
before. forest fires had devastated vast
sections Of thickly timbsred country
which IL almost altogether under
cultivation. The preceding signs Of the
dark day was but the smoke and
vapor waited BY the winds. The rain.
water which fell on the day. when
caught in tubs or other r~eceptacles.
was covered with Q black scum. which
upon examination proved to b black
ashes OF burnt leaves, and had the same
smell - that which had pervaded the
atmosphere. The theory was then
formed that the vast body OF smoke
from the burning woods had mixed with
the common sxhalaions from the earth
and water. and they had been condensed
BY the action Of winds from opposite
points.
"But no such explanation a. that
would convince many Who regarded the
phenomenon as warning to the sinners
OF the earth. and many yet read Of the
great dark day a. one OF the inex-
plieabls freaks that man can never
fathom."
