During the passage of the cloud the
northern ornament changed quickly
to an inky black, and as quickly it
seemed to change again to grayish
hue. Then it turned rosy, and gradual
ly changed to brilliant red. During
all this the display of lightning was
beautiful and terrific. There was fork
ed, ball and sheet lightning in the
eastern sky, and the spectacle was grand
to behold. The thermometer to-day
registered So.
