MAY COLOR SUNSETS.
Volcanic Bursts May Produce
Brilliant ColOrS at Evenings
This Summer.

Director Oliver l.. Fassig, of the Bal.
timore Weather Bureau was asked Tues
day whether or not the volcanic erup,
tons in the West Indies and i'm Central
and South America could have any ef-
feet upon the air currents or whether in
this latitude. He replied:
mot in the slightest. The air cur
rents would not be disturbed only with
in radius of few hundred miles. The
lowering weather in this section during
the last day or two has been nothing
but the usual spring weather. and there
have been no atmospheric disturbances
out of the ordinary.
Zone effect that may follow the vol
canic eruptions now going on is a sea
son of brilliant sunsets during the COM
ing summer. How long it will be be-
fore these sunsets begin to occur it is
impossible to say. The air currents
move around the earth spirally and the
wind does not blow steadily from Mar.
Unique in this direction. Hence it may
be weeks or months before the brilliant
sunsets are seen in Baltimore. For a
year after the great Krakato disaster
these sunsets were to be seen.
"These magnificent displays are due
to the great increase in the number of
dust particles in the air. with conse-
quent greater diffraction of the suns

sunset colors ordinarily observed are
generally those at the lower end of the
spectrum. the reds and yellows FREEDOM.
mating. The same is true in the case
Of sunsets affected by volcanic dust. but
in these the colors are more distinct. 1t
is hard to explain the exact difference,
but there should be no trouble in recog-
nizing the sunsets which may be ex-
pected to follow the eruptions in Marti-
nigue and st Vincent.
