+ On May l9sh, at about 10 p. D., re-
msrkable aurora boreaIis was observed at
Ludyiks, In Sweden. Ie began as faint
band Of light parallel with the horizon,
which gradually grew broader and broader.
The extraordinary feature Of the pbeuome.
non was, however, that this band had the
appearance Of an recovered lake on which
the moon was shining. Pr0mo1toTies and
shores covered with trees were seen, and
also the faint outlines of farms. The
phenomenon lasted about ten minutes,
when the-aurora changed into aufused
pink luminosity, like that of clouds near
the setting sun.
