was observed by some of our citizens on
Friday morning last, between eight and
nine o'clock. The second or mock sun

defined as "a luminous spot few degrees
from the sun, supposed to be formed by
the intersection of two or more halos."

The lecture given on the afternoon of
the 9th inst, by Mrs. Rebecca B. Nichol-
son, of Camden, before the Upper Green
wich Library Association, was very much
enjoyed by a hall full of people. Her
subject was "A trip from Baltimore to the
Muir Glaciers Of Alaska" The illustra-
lions were clear and good. The first given
was Of train of cars of the year 1884, the
next of the coaches and engine of the
present day. The comparison certainly
was great. In company with them we
followed and viewed the city of Washing
ton, and other large cities en- route, until
we came TO the Yellowstone Park, and the
scenery of the Rockies; were interested,
TOO, in the large wheat fields of North
Dakota, showing the reaping machines in
Ihem-one machine having at least
dozen horses to it. From these scenes we
passed on to California, and from there
followed the coast up to Alaska, viewing
the mining camps and the miners carrying
their belongings on their backs, also the
Indians and their totem" pole or family
tree as we would express it. TIE glaciers
or vast field of ice, moving at the rate of
one and one-quarter miles in ten years.
were things of much interest to as. Among
the many other very interesting things we
saw the caves of the cliff jewellers, so high
up on the sides of the cliffs that to us
they seemed perfectly inaccessible. After
looking at many other interesting views
we turned our attention homeward and
came back to Jerseyland, giving our
friend a vote of thanks for the pleasant
and profitable tour we had enjoyed.
