whether thes,, sun pagents are re-
ally unusual phenomena.
On this point there can no lon
ger be any doubt. 1t is certain that
he red glows referred to. and the
curious appearance around the sun
in daytime, are not ordinary aspects
of the sky.
The unchangeab'eness of cne of,
these phenomena and the intermit-
tent appearance of the other render
difficult the attempt to account Tor
them by single cause, and yet
there are many circumstances which
tend to show that they have com
mon origin.
The explanation which has been
most wide y accepted, viz, that the
appearances in question are due to
the presence in the atmosphere of
fine dust thrown out by the vo'can
ic exp oslons III the East Indias a
Year ago last summer. Is open to
many objec'iors, although it has
also many circumstances to support
lit. On.. of the most serious objec-
tons to this hypothesis is furni> he'd
by the appearance of red ows sew
er.l times after they almost Or quite
disappeared. Af er the supposi
tlous dust had once settled to the
earth it would be difficult to account
for its reason to heigh of many
miles even by the magical aid of
electricity. which serves as Won

But whatever the cause of the
strange sights in the heavens may
be-whcther il is meteoric dus' or
from TIE bowels of the earth, or no
dust at all, but the oPer ti"n OF
