the Pompeii road at Resina, the mod

Apropos of these two ancient towns, 1e
is remarkable how many people speak
OF them as the only buried cities i'm the
vicinity. In fact, there are many, and
it may not be uninteresting to mention
them. Next to the two familiar ones.

heard is Stable. Then there are Gu

look down from a boat when in smooth

TMe Light,

The name OF ''1odiacal light" has
been given to a singular appearance
frequently Witnessed soon after sunset
or Just before sunrise. 1t may be seen
mt all seasons of the year In low lati-
tudes and is obviously due to illumi-
mated matter surrounding the sun In a
very fat or l%enticuIar form, nearly CO.
inciding with the plane of the ecliptic.
or, rather, with the suns equator. The
attention OF astronomers was first d.
rected to 1t In the year 1883 by Cassini
and was long regarded as being the
suns atmosphere. This idea, 1t 10 now
thought. is incorrect. 1t being generally
believed at the present time to consist
Of an immense assemblage of rocks,

place TO mention In this connection that
the rings OF Saturn are believed to be
composed OF similar materials.
