The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1889-03-12

description of the outlines of trees and
shrub0ery in a large kettle belonging to
Mr. Goode. But two explanations have
been suggested. One is that the smooth
surface OF the kettle, from unknown causes,
| may have teen susceptible TO impressions
of the rays OF light; the kettle acting as a
camera, and thus the trees and shrubbery
/ from some distance away were photo
/ graphed around the sides of the kettle. The
other suggestion is that the inside of the
kettle may have been damp. covered by a
thin film Of water which froze, and in
crystallizing the minute ice tsprangles shot
in the peculiar forms seen in tn kettle,
just as we see window glass covered with
many brilliant and beautiful outlines on
frosty mornings in mid-wintsr.
