STARTLED THOUSANDS.
Rings Around the Sun Put Move
on hhiladelphianS.

Philadelphia. May 21.-The appear
ance of two great rings around the
sun, strongly pronounced and some
what resembling rainbows, about II
clock yesterday, startled and inter
ested hundreds of thousands of per-
sons in this city and vicinity.
The rings are known as solar haIos,
and are due to condensation in the
atmosphere consequent upon the low
temperatures which produced water
drops or ice crystals. The refrac-
ton and infracticn Of the suns rays
through these brought about the oc-
currence which is exceedingly rare
in this latitude.
