Night Light In the SKY.

In studying the amount of light in
the sky on starlH night I.ambertus
Iutema. in Germany reached the in
teresting conclusion that the l1minosi-
~ of the sky is caused partly by d.
rect starlight and partly by some other
source OF light. This latter he calls
earth light and suggests that it may
be due to permanent aurora attend
ing the earth. The light is variable
not only on different nights, but at
different hours Of the same night He
found it Ia be from seven to fifteen
times the amount OF mean starlight,
but it is believed that this ratio is ex-
ceptional and does not prevail every
where. Some observations indicate
that the light has its origin close to
the surface of the earth 1t has been
suggested that it may have similar
origin 10 that Of the light emitted by
the coma of comet.
