Sir,-Mr, Preece suggests, in the
Times Of this morning, that very
finely divided dust may remain US
pended in the upper regions ofthe
atmosphere, owing to the particles
of which it consists having IN cleo
tricaI charge of the same sign as that
of the earth, and thereby being re-
PEELED and kept in suspense in oppo-
sition TO gravity.
In a paper read before the Society
in 1879 | showed that at a rarefac-
ton of the mIllionth of an atmos-
phere two pieces OF electrified gold
leaf repealed one another at "a cOnsl-
derable angle for 13 moHths without
loss of charge. Therefore at a rare
faction Of a miIIionth corresponding
to n height above the earth'S surface
OF about 62 miles air is Il perfect
non-conductor of statical electricity,
without interfering with the mutual
repuIsion of similarly electrified par
ticles.
When we bear in mind that the
specific gravity Of gold is five or six
times that ofth3 rock whose disrup-
ton formed the dust in question, and
that ,he size of the individual par
ticIes of dust is certainly many thou
sand times smaller than my gold
leaves, there is reasOn to believe that
electrified dust, once projected 50 or
60 miles above the earth's surface,
might remain there TOR many years.

particles of iron were themselves

derived from blast furnaces. MI.

quite impossible that the amount
which he had shown to exist could
be derived from such Il source. There
were evidently small PARTICLES of iron
in addition to the larger PARTICLES of

that in The sunsets he had observed
there were distinctly two CLOVIS, the
first evidently similar to the ordinary
sunsets. in which the colour was re-

the clouds. That faded away, and
there was then II Frightening mp

Sir,-The question OF the peculiar
sunsets and Sunrises that we have
been having lately is one of great
interest. May | add a few words to
the discussion!
[ spent a year in South italy on
purpose TO Study the formation OF
clouds by the aid OF photography.
During that time (1882) | spent some
time at Naples while the great erup-
ton of that year was going CD, and
was struck with the unusual colours
of the sunsets during and after the
eruption. | still have photographs
of both sunrises and sunsets endors-
ed with memoranda ms to unusual
and exceptional colours, And, as
on a VOYAGE TO the Cape of Good
Hope a few years before had paint
ed many of the sunsets seen from on
board, | recognized pecuIiaritIes IN
colour common to both the sets of
Sunrises and sunsets. -Four years
q on a voyage round the world IN
search of health, | had unusual OPP
rortunities of carrying on my lnvts-
legations, having made the journey
from Australia to San Francisco IN
sailing vessels, spending seven weeks
in Tahiti as a hallway house. One
most remarkable fact struck me while
in the Pacific Ocean, that very fire.

rious colourina, and that in the high
err regions of the air colours were
found That were never seen AT the no
rizon or below a certain height.
Now, this exceptional magnifcence
and peculiarly OF coIourIng only oc-
ours in certain ATTITUDES and in well
defined belts, and I venture to sug-
gest that, even in the light now
thrown on the subject by M. Nor

the mountain ranges of South Anne

Sir,-nesirous OF obtaining posi-
tive proof Of the brilliant theory put
forth in your columns relative to the
cause of The remarkable appearances
at sunrise and sunset which have for
many days excited public attention,
I have this day analysed some fresh
fallen snow with the following re-
suits namely, that I have found
crystals of hypersthene, pyrozine,

of which have been found in the ana
