A GRAND SPECTACLE.
A Remarkable Display Of Aurora EoreaiIs
Visible at Numerous Points In the
United States.

A Remarkable Display Of Aurora EoreaiIs
Visible at Numerous Points In the
United States.
NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-The heavens
presented a magnificent display of the
aurora borealis Saturday evening.
Shortly after o'clock it Suddenly
burst forth from the northern sky like
long. lofty banners of fire. The
columns of scarlet light rose higher
and higher, until they almost
reached the zenith, and then
sank away again to mere tufts of fire.
Again they spread in ribbons of
claret-colored light almost across the
northwestern horizon. making sight
of magnificent beauty. Then the COL
! umns of each end of the aurora's arch
disappeared, only to increase the gilt
ter and glory of the central pill
lars of fire. Thus apparently strength
ened, this pillar shot far toward
the zenith, looking like large Ionic
column supporting the vault OF the sky
The fiuted column was as perfect and
regular as any ever seen in Grecian
temple. The reflection of the crimson
colors upon the waters of the North
river was brilliant in the extreme. The
river seemed mass of flowing
claret or a river of blood. At first it
was feared in the city that some
fire had begun its ravages and had
| thrown its reflection upon the skies
There was for time some excitement
in the fire department, and alarms
were expected at every minute.
CHICAGO, Feb 1.-THE display of
aurora borealis Saturday evening was
possibly the most wonderful ex-
hibition of the kind ever seen from
the American soil Dispatches to the
Associated Press show that the
phenomenon stretched over great belt
of territory from Iowa to the Atlantic
ocean. The magnificent spectacle was
scientifically observed at the Univer-
sity of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Astro-
nomical Director w. j. Hussey, of that
institution, wired the result to the
Associated Press as follows:
THE brilliant red rose aurora visible Satur-
day night was not altogc her unexpected. In a
general way auroras have been predicted for
about this time. Saturday nights display
naturally follows the appearance of the great
sun spot which has been visible during the past
week. Other auroral displays may be expected
in the near future"
Other dispatches to the Associated
Press show that the phenomenon was
witnessed at New York, Louisville,
Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus,
Toledo, Detroit Indianapolis, and at
Illinois and Iowa points, but not at St
Louis, Kansas City or Memphis
ANN ARBoR, Mich, Feb 15-W. ].
Hussey, of the university observatory,
says that the great sun spot observed
by Miss Low, of Toronto, on the 10th
was discovered by him on the 5th.
This he thinks was undoubtedly
the first observation made by any
one, as it would scarcely have been
possible to discover it day earlier, the
suns revolution not having progressed
far enough. He estimates that it is
100000 miles long by $4,000 or co. 900
in breadth The black spots around the
enormous fssure have now broken up
into smaller ones, and Mr.. Hussey is
of the opinion that the vast chasm will
soon disappear.

For some time rigid boycott has been
