GREEN SUN OF EGYPT.
Curious Phenomenon to Be Seen Only
in That Land.

Perhaps it is the sun, and not the
moon, that is made Of green cheese.
The appearance Of green light at
sunset, like many other phenomena
supposed to have only recently at
tracted attention, was noticed and
commented upon by the ancient Egyp-
tian, and more particularly so because
in the clear air of Egypt the tints oil
sunset are peculiarly distinct.
As the sun there descends nearer
and nearer the horizon, and is i'm
mensely enlarged and flaming, 1t sud-
denly becomes, for an instant, a bril-
liantly green color and Immediately a
series Of green rays suffuses the sky
in many directions, well nigh TO the
zenith. The same phenomenon ap-
pears at sunrise, but to a smaller ex-
tent. Sometimes, Just as the last part
of the suns disk yanishes, its color
changes from green 10 blue, anu 80
also after 1t had disappeared the sky
near the horizon often is green, while
toward the zenith II is blue.
This was alluded to in Egyptian
writings. Day was the emblem OF life,
and night that Of death, and the noe
turnal sun, being identified with
Osiris, thus rendered Osiris king Of
the dead. The setting sun was green
therefore Osiris, as the nocturnal
deity of the dead, was painted green
The splendid collins Of the high priests
Of Ammon frequently depict the greer
sun and the funeral deities are all col
ored green. l'
There are innumerable instances II
the Egyptian relics of representation
relative to death being colored green
The practice undoubtedly arose from
the green tints Of sunrise and sunset
The green sun disk is referred to 500
years ago in Egypt. This is the earlies
known human record of an astronoml
cal phenomenon.
