Phsnomenon Probably Akin to That Of
s.the Sum Drawing Water"
Sometimes in the evening, some lit
tie time before and during twilight,
and also sometimes-though rarer-be-
fore and during sunset, q close OBJ
server may detect peculiar, fan-like
streaks of darker and lighter shading
across the sky. These streaks, of
which the palmer mes may number
from four to six, together form q tri-
angle with its base ON the horizon and
extending out at varying attitudes.
: This appearance still holds rank rs
an unexplained phenomenon in nature.
1t occurs only occasionally. There
may be q fine illustration on q given
evening, and while there may be q
week of clear sunsets succeeding. not
a trace Of the streaks will be visible.
From this 1t would seem that q par
ticular atmospheric condition must be
one OF the factors in its production.
The assumption would be supported
by numerous analogies not necessary
to enumerate. In the proper atmos-
pherc then let il be assumed thai the
streaks are due to alternate lines of
shade and light.
Now, let something, to some extent,
obstruct the rays of the sun which has
set, either an impcdiment in the dis
tant landscape or an unseen cloud, the
combination ut the proper angle with
the Observers vision, and IL Is prob
able that he may approach a solution
Of the long-standing puzzle.
The fan-like appearance Is such for
the same reason that the lines in n
brick wall leading away from the OBJ
server seem to focalize to n center, as
do also railway tracks, seemingly.
come together in the distance. These
zodiacal lines are undoubtedly paral-
lels, ms are lines of cloud streaks that to
our vision seem to point to a common
starting point
II is more than probable that this
modest and unobtrusive strcaking Of
the clear evening sky has been un-
solved because of its very simplicity.
II is probably only q modification Of
what is commonly known rs ''the sun
drawing water. Pittsburgh Dispatch.

"Geyer Bros. MINISTRIES held the boards
for two hours and a-half, at the opera
house, Monday night. The house was
packed from stage to gallery. In fact, it
was the biggest house that any show has
enjoyed here for five or six years. And
the best part of it all Is that everybody
was pleased. The show was good from
start to finish. The boys made a hit! in
the introduction, mt it was no trouble to
hold the audience spellbound TO the close.
The Jokes were nearly all new and gotten
of in good shape. The Geyers and Utts
are q whole team by themselves. Their
supporters were no slouches, o by q jug
