The Yellow Dav.

Reports from all parts of New England show
the existence of the same phenomenon that
was observable in this vicinity Tuesday. In
Fall River the stores and many residences were
lighted. In all the mills light were burned,
and the public schools were closed. In
Nashua, N. H., artificial light was necessary
for all kinds of indoor business. Gas light had
the appearance of electric light, and grass and
foliage was of bright green hue. The mills
and stores in North Adams were lighted dur
ing the early forenoon. About II o'clock the
air grew clearer, and by noon the sun shone
like brilliant pink ball. For a time the heat
was very oppressive. In some of the country
towns in the vicinity of North Adams female
mill operatives were SO frightened that they
stopped work and fled for home in alright,
The streets were crowded with excited people
many of whom expressed belief that the judy
ment day was at hand. At Hanover, N. H.,
the sky overhead was of Zig hit olive, shading
off all around to a live green at the horizon.
The light was of quite pronounced yellowish
green color The green color of grass, trees,
ETC., was much intensified, while houses paint
ed white showed more distinctly yellow hue.
". Il. emerson, professor Oh udburdi philosophy
and astronomy, at Dartmouth College, says it
must be something in the atmosphere which
absorbs the shorter and longer wave lengths,
leaving only those which give the color OF yel-
low and green. He thinks it may be owing to
the pollen from fir and pine trees; together
with smoke from the forest fires in Canada In
Norwich, Conn, the gas in many places of
business was lighted at midday. In some
of the Cape towns cattle ceased feeding, and
hens went to roost In Providence, r. l., the
supply of gas gave out, through some mistake
at the works, early in the afternoon, and for a
time the city was left in uncomfortable dark
ness. It was SO dark in Bellows Falls that at
the hotels and among private houses both
breakfast and dinner were partaken of by
lamp-light. Offices and stores were lighted,
and lamps were called into use in the railroad
trains. The sun shone in the afternoon In
Contoocook, N. H., lamps were lighted at mid
day, and insects sounded their evening notes.
There was the same peculiar atmosphere in
Norwich, Putnam and Woodstock, Conn.
Schools were dismissed, and business general
ly suspended except when gas or lamps were
used.

him die until his work is done, and then it will
not be death, only a falling to sleep. The
average length of life is much less now than a
century ago. National life is the portion of
Gods people. Spiritual life is given to the peo-
pie OF God The New Testament speaks more
frequently of this than the old. This is not to
be regarded as a contradiction but higher de-
velopment. ssHe hath the words of eternal
life." 81 am the resurrection and the life"
He that liveth and believeth on Me shall
never die'
Brief exhortations followed. Tent meetings
were held at p m. The entire afternoon was
