AURORA

Henryk ArctOwskl, writing OF the
aurora australis, as seer from the Bel
gica, states that during the time the
ship was frozen in, March Z, 1898, to
March Ii, 1893, the period when tho
aurora could be seen was from March
III to September 10. During this period
the ship drifted with the ice from CO
degrees 80 minutes south latitude and
80 degrees and 80 minutes west longi-
tude to II degrees 80 minutes south
latitude and 80 degrees Il minutes
west longitude. scattering the observ-
atoms over ten degrees OF longitude
and two and one-half of latitude. The
aurora was seen 81 times during the
winter OF 1898 and on March II. 1898.

they took the form merely OF a lumin-
