A SWORD IN THE Sky.
Strange Phenomenon Greeted by
Crowds as "A "sIgn of War"
New York Herald, SthD

(New York Herald, Sth)
In the black sky of the north last night
there hung a sign, gloomy portent or
war and devastation. AT least the street
crowds that gazed heavenward in awe
or with fiippant comment chose so to re-
gard it. Some said it was a comet, others
distinctly counted eight wings to an air
ship in the midst of 1t; but the great ma
jority saw a great fiery sword that told
of battle and sudden death. These lat
ter were inclined to feel aggrieved that
the weapon did not point toward the
southwestern end OF Europe. But TINS
was a small matter. Being provided Win
a sign so plain, they said, IL was mere
trihe to hunt UP an enemy upon Wnom
to wreak the vengeance IL foretolo.
The phenomenon appeared shortly AFTER
half-past O'Clock. To the eastward the
moon, almost at the full. rode in a clear
sky. but the north and west were cloudy
Suddenly a shaft Of pale red light shot
up from the north. reaching hair way 10
the zenith Gradually the lower part
faded away, but the remainder hung IN
the clouds for more than half an nour:
IL was a narrow strip, but at times the
lower end spread until II doubled In
width while the upper part tapered on
into the darkness. Imaginative persons
announced that IL was perfect represen-
tation OF a sword. man in the crowd
some one had scratched a match on the
sky. This was not poetic. but there was
realism in IL. The glowing strip faded
and frightened at times. and the clouds
gave It the wayering shift or phospho-
rescence.
From all over Greater New York and
I'D the Hudson came reports OF excite
