Earth lIIumines the Sky.

In studying the amount of light In
the sky on starlit night German
astronomer has reached the interest
ing conclusion that the luminosity OF
the sky is caused partly by direct
starlight and partly by some other
source of light, This latter he pro
poses to call earthlight, and he sug
gests that 1t may be due to perma
nent aurora attending the earth. The
light is variable not only on different
nights, but at different hours Of the
same nights. He has found it to be
from seven to fifteen times the
amount of mean starlight, but it is
believed that this ratio is exceptional
and does not prevail everywhere
Some observations indicate that the
light had its origin close to the sur
face of the earth. 1t has been sug
gested that 1t may have a similar
origin to that of the light emitted by
the coma of a comet

Accommodating Meteor.

One of the most useful results from
the study of sporadic meteors, or fire
balls, is the light they throw upon tie
question of the height Of the atmos-
phere, since it is the friction OF the
air that sets them on fire, and if their
elevation is known at the moment of
their first appearance, the probable
height of the atmosphere can be cal
culated. On August IL, 1909, bril-
liant meteor happened to impress it's
picture simultaneously on three photo
graphic plates, at Tashkend, Islander
and Tschimgan, in Russian Turkestan,
The distances between these places
furnished base-lines from which the
height could be deduced The calcu-
lation, published In the Astrono-
mische Nachrichten Number 4447,
shows that the meteor first appeared
at height of 69.45 miles abovS the
earth, and disappeared, probably by
dissipation, at so miles.
