Something Remarkable In the Way
OF meteorological Phenomena.


OF Meteorological Phenomena.
Mount Desert Cor Boston Transcript
Beech mountain, or, as it was more com
monty called, Beech hill, which is about
three miles from this village, has on its east
ern side a precipice some 900 feet In height,
nearly vertical Eastward from this cliff,
known as Echo cliff, lie Mount Robinson
and Dog mountain. Of about equal height
with the cliff, and distant perhaps an eighth
of a mile in the air lire. Echo lake lies at
the bottom of the valley thus formed, which
opens southerly towards the ocean and
northerly in the direction of Soinesville.
At about 5 o'clock in the afternoon Of
Aug. 20, 1884, the sun was shining clearly
and very brightly on the summit of Beach
mountain, with clear, deep-blue sky ultra
rnarine) overhead. The southerly breeze
drove before it at that hour great white
cloud, which entered and completely filed
the valley, its top OF upper edge being
nearly on level with the top Of Echo cliff
and completely hiding the opposite noun
tains. The cloud was in constant motion in
its various parts, Kept SO by the wind, which
blew at the rate of about ten miles an hour,
and it was more or less illuminated and col
ored 10y the light of tie sun. The shadow OF
the cliff WAS projected upon the lower tniro
of the white cloud in light blue, the outline of
the top, with its trees and its ,charac-
teristic rocky lodges being distinctly dis
cernihle
All at once fog bow, as distinct as an
ordinary rainbow, and making perfect cir
Gle about as large as the apparent size OF the
sun, made its appearance, its lower arc rest
ing upon the upper edge Of the blue lower
third of the cloud, the bow itself being pic
turei upon the upper part, which remained
white The disc inside Of the bow was Of
brilliant yellowish white color, correspond
ing to the character Of the SUMS light at the
time Insii lie the bow and on the disc de-
sclibed, the writer, who was alone at the
moment, suddenly saw his own shadow In
blue and about the size Of life. He called to
his companions, VINO were on another part OF
the mountain, and they came running to see
the wonder. Their figures also Immediately
appeared on the disc in blue. The phcnome-
non was but momentary, for the driving and
whirlmg Of the parts Of the cloud caused the
spectacle to fade in three or four seconds. In
a moment it appeared again, as vivid and dis
tinct as ever, only to fade and reappear again
and again, at least fifty times in half an

appearance has improved tenfold When
Mr. Bennett left here a year ago his face

hair and mustache have become quite white,
and his face has been bronzed by his steady
life nj sea. He is as erect as an athlete and

haynes Foreign Letter
This is a place respondent with natural
beauty: evidently spot on which a part o,
Eden fell when the angels We're carrying il
back to heaven. 1t takes about fourteen
hours to reach here from Paris and once ar
rived you feel like remaining the rest of your
idle days. 1t is a lazy life We head here
that is, lazy As regards work, but active
enough in sightseeing, an entertainment
much more fatiguing, by the way, than real
labor At o'clock in the morning fine
orchestra commences to play in front of the
Conversationshaus. from which early mo-
ment sleep is impossible to those who live in
hotels overlooking the actual watering place
part of the beautiful town. When people are
up they go to the Trinkhalle to take the hoi
waters or to the Cowshed to drink whey OF
goats milk.
The waters are "hot'r'n blazes" and the
tactical diet is not to my liking After this, q
long promenade in the avenue, from the
Badische- kof, where Cupuchin monks lived
in 1851, out 10 the old convent OF Lchten
thai, q distance of, say, five miles, through
as pretty roadway as you ever saw. Then
comes the first breakfast Of coffee and rolls
with butter and honey, and l love to spread
1t ON thick, too; which light meal ended,
you read the Paris papers of the day before
and then start off on an excursion. The
chief points of attraction for visitors are the
old castle, tine ruins of Ebersteinburg, the
avenue and old Lichtenthal church and con.
vent, the iish-breeding establishment, the
ca stle of Eberstein, the Geroldsau waterfall,
the Cross Of Fremersburg. the Castle Lauf,
the Devils mill, the new castle, the Russian
chanel and the Frederic lathS
IL takes weeks to do all these places thor
oughly, and can only remain n few days,
more's the pity; but l shall go away with the
conviction that Baden Baden fully deserves
its reputation for being a first class summer
resort, a place where Americans and other
foreigners have just as good treatment as the
beer-drinking natives Of the town. 1t was a
great gambling place along back yonder in
1870 and afterwards, but there has been
nothing done at trente ct quaiante or the
roulette table since 1872, when the German
emperor, Lacked up by Herr Lasker, drove
the money changers from out the temple.
The entire grand duchy has been the gamer
by the adjustment of gambling At least
that is what town residents, people who have
lived here al their lives, tell me.
