NEw-HAvEN, Dec. 3O.-Professor
LOOMS, while confessing hts inability 10
satisfactorily explain the brilliant sun.
sets, suggests interesting theories con-
corning them. He does not ascribe them
to vapor In the air, and says that the
ateness of the hour shows the cause TO
be at a great elevation from the earth's
surface. He objects To the theory Of
volanic dust from the eruption In Java
In the autum, AZ that took place too
long ago and the phenomenon WAS only
noticed recently. As to the VOLCANIC
eruptions in California and Washing.
ton Territory, while smoke was emitted
which contained dust, the dust may not
be red but vi hen the hun shines through
the cloud of dust its r d rays have more
penetrating power than the other rays
In the spectrum.
Professor Loomis instances the red
sunsets upon hot nights IN sumner,
wien the atmosphere IL filled with
dust. Another suggestion by him Ia
that the phenomenon is due to ZONE for.
eign substance falling into the air. and
the possibility that meteOrs constantly
falling into the atmosphere may cause
the brilliancy. but he adds that the lat.
ter Is . vague conjecture.

An Illustration Of the Fact that Appear

others, and that some have been taken

elephant here in Philadelphia. | showed

His hat was on the back of his head, and

fumes of whisky, that he was playing

You should have seen the man who
was playing with him. had seen him
often before, and ! knew him to be a
a man about town who lived by hiswits.
Did he put up his 800? Well, |

the chance to win the fifty from my

lost his cash, but | was mistaken. |
don't think anything ever surprised me
so much as to see how the fellow braced
up. He threw of his coat, placed his
hat on chair and was every bit as so
Der as was He had been playing of.
The sharper had not the least chance.
The game was for fifty points, and the
newspaper man had scored that many

wings and crowed, and | thought I'd
