Tho recent mysterious appear nnces follow.
ing sunset and preceding sunrise have at.
tactel wide attention from students of tho
skies and the people penelaly, Durinr the
days Of recent wocl:s the sun seems to have
leen OBJ, cured by Il thin veil of n dull calcn
hue which, as tho sun rGCcded toward the
horizon, became more luminous, then yellow,
th'n orange, then red; and, as night settled
down upon tho earth, dull purple At first
it was thought these appearances were or.
binary sunset reflections Of light, but it is
now pretty certain that they are either the
misty substance Of the tail Of some uns en-
comet, in which the earth is envelorel, or
surrounding stratum Of world dust or very
!mal meteors Professor BROOKS, OF
the Red House observatory, Phors,
New York, has turnad his toIe-
sco,e upon, those objects and discovered
what no thinks are nyrads Of teescopic
meteors. If It is unorR ani2ed world dust, or
decomposed varor5, as the Democrat and
Chronicle, of Rochester, n. y, remarks;
" How is th!s. matter to be disptel of Will
1t settle and form q deposit upon the earth,
or remsin partial opaque shell about the
earth to out off portion Of the suns IL Int

Whatever the mystery IT, there Is no deny.
ing that some very strange torces are at
work in the upper airs. The terrible lorna
does AMI cyclones which have swept our own
country, and the fearful vO'canoe5 and earth
quakes which havo destroyed SO many cities
and thousands Of people--the tidal waves
