DANCING STARS.
But They Were the Reflection of the
Moon ON Electric Wires.

People living 18th street between
Pennsylvania avenue and Fl street have
been much mystifed of late by what
seemed TO be strange light in the sky at
a point near the horizon east by northeast
Standing anywhere on the street indicated
the apparent phenomenon can be plainly
seen In the heavens. 1t has the appearance
of series of bright lights of various hues
in slightly curved vertical line. They
sparkle and gleam brighter than any of the
regulation stars in the vaulted armament
and at times seem to be engaged in a wild
hilarious dance. They would be accepted
as celestial lights but for the fact that
they could be seen only at the point indi-
Gated and nowhere else, being perfectly in
visable on Pennsylvania avenue or II street
rot over 100 feet away. The spectacle has
puzzled the neighbors for some time. and
groups of them have spent several hours
every evening of late trying to discover
why II could only be seen in the sky from
one particular view point. Their efforts
were rewarded last night by the discovery
that the miniature illumination was merely
the reflection OF the moonbeams the
electric wires strung high in the sky the
east side of 18th street. and also that - was
cnly visible when the moon was at a par
ticular point in its nocturnal journey
