THE AURORA BoREALIs.
Curiosities of the Singular Red Lights In
the Northern Skies.


the Northern Skies.
The ancients viewed the aurora bore
alis with superstitious awe, looking
upon it as an omen of direful disaster.
1t is not unusual for descriptions OF old
time battles to mention the fact that
the "curious red northern lights gave
us warning that something awful was
about to happen" In the annals OF
Clan Mac-N Noise is to be found an &C
count Of purple aurora, which lighted
up the northern skies in the year 66S
A, D. ON the night preceding the dread
ful battle fought by the Irish tribes OF
Leinster and Munster and it is not nee
essary to mention the fact that the peo-
pie took it as an omen of the great
slaughter which soon followed
In the year 1859 the people of Amer.
lea Witnessed some Of the grandest dis
plays of the auroral light that have ever
been known in the history of the world.
During the month of September, that
year, particularly upon the nights Of the
I'd, Sd and goth, brilliant auroras were
reported from nearly every point on the
American continent. Superstitious peo-
pie like those of Ireland hundreds OF
years ago believe until this day that the
peculiar appearance Of the sky upon the
nights mentioned was presage OF the
great conflict which was SO soon to be
waged between the north and south.
The cause Of the aurora has long been
a matter of speculation. M. de Ia Rive,
a Genoese scientist, who has long and
faithfully labored for the enlightenment
of humanity upon this subject, made an
interesting experiment in Finland in
the year 1882 and one which goes a long
way toward proving that "fitful aurora
is q phenomenon of electrical character.
The experiment is best described in
the language Of the experimenter him
self: eve surrounded the peak of a
mountain with copper wire, pointed at
intervals with tin nibs. We next heav1-
ly charged the wire with electricity, and
afterward nearly every night during
our stay had the pleasure OF seeing yell
lowish white liehJ dance from nib to
nib. in which the spectroscope analysis
exhibited che greenish yellow rays so
Characteristic of the aurora borealis. At
P;etarintumturi we were especially IA
vored in making our experiment, hay
ing ON two different occasions caused
an auroral arch to appear as if hanging
in the air directly over cur wires and
about $50 rods above them. - st.

A Sprouting Easel.

An easel in the parlor of Edison II.
Pierces residence on San Joaquin street,
between Worth and Anderson, has
sprouted. -Four thrifty little shoots, each
few inches long, have forced their way
through paint, varnish and gliding and
are growing as if very ambitious to re.
produce their kind. Mrs. Pierce expects
to raise quite crop of little easels this
season. The easel was purchased from
an old man last winter, who said he
brought it from the mountains. The
piece of sprouting furniture, if a parlo1
ornament can be designated as an article
of furniture, is about feet high, and
the uprights are II inches thick. All
four of the sprouts are on the same up
right-the one to the left as the specta-
tor faces the easel. The largest, which
grows at the top, is 81 inches long and
Of the thickness of lead pencil. The
three others vary from a half to II inches
in length. and are proportionately thick.

LONDON, June 2l.--Fire broke out at
o'clock tonight at the Agnes cabinet
mandatory in Tabernacle street. The
fames. assisted by s'fierce wind, spread
furiously, and within an hour eight or
ten other factories were burning. The
wind carried sheets of flame and sparks
O great distance, and the illumination
attracted thousands of people to the
vicinity. Thirty engines were sum-
moned. but the greatest difficulty was
experienced in approaching the burning
buildings.
The whole block was burned. The
entire London brigade, over 30 engines
and 400 men, were in attendance. The
flames were visible from all parts OF
London and suburbs. Walls OF build
ings fell from time to time with loud
crashes. So far as ascertained there
were no casualties. :.
The fire ragged with fury until mid
night. when it was controlled. The es-
timated damage ia 4200, 900.

To be saved is to wake up in the pres
ence of Christ. You know when Jesus
was upon the earth how happy He
made every house He went into, and
when He brings us to His house in
Heaven how great shall be our glee.
His voice has more music in it than is
to be heard in all the oratories of eter-

with etfiorescence. Jesus is the chief
bloom of Heaven. We shall see the
very face that beamed sympathy in
Bethany, and take the very hand that
dropped its blood from the short beam
of the cross. o, want to stand in

likeness.
o. broken-hearted men and women,
how sweet it will be in that good land
TO pour all your hardships and bereave-
ments and losses into the loving ear Of
Christ, and then have Him explain why
1t was best for you to be sick, and why
it was best for you to be widowed, and
why it was best for you to be perse-
euted, and why il was best for you TO
be tried, and have Him point to an ele-
walton proportionate TO your disquiet-
ude here, saying: "You suffered with
Me on earth, come up now and be glo-
rifed with Me in heaven"
Some one went into a house where
there had been a good deal of trouble,

"All gomez" "All." "All dead?" Gail"
Then she breathed a long sigh into the
loneliness and said: 20, sir, | hsaye
