 There are two dark days" mentioned in the annals of New England The first occurred on Oct. 21, 1T1e, when it suddenly became so dark soon after noon that the people were forced to use artificial lights to do their ordinary work. This strange condition of the atmosphere lasted about three and a half hours. Again, on May 19. 1TsO. there was a remarkable darkening Of the atmosphere, but the phenomenon did not come on so suddenly as that upon the earlier date. The darkness in this latter instance began between 10 and Il o'clock on the morning of the day named and lasted throughout the day. The darkness extended from the northeastern part of New England westward as far as Albany and south ward to Pennsylvania. The most in tense and prolonged darkness, how ever, was confined to Massachusetts, more especially to the seabOard. Tt iB said to have come from the southwest but there is no mention of it made in the history of Ohio or the Virginias The exact cause still remains one of She unexplained mysteries
