EARLY SPRING SUN
LEAVES SKY GLOW

Residents OF Rural New Castle coun-
ty were at loss to account for Pc
cullar zone OF light In the west last
night, long after the young moon had
gone down. II was at frst thought
that II was the reflection OF the sunken
moon, but the glow persisted, for two
hours after the moon had set, rising
from the horizon as far as the Seven
Stars" known astronomically as the
Pleides.
The cause OF this phenomenon was
explained today. II seems that the sun
is surrounded for a distance OF mil
lions Of miles by hundreds OF millions
OF minute particles Of matter, prob
ably the product OF solar eruptlons.
which reflect the sunlight long after
9 o'clock during the month OF March
and April, the name Of the glow being
the "2odiacical Light" At the time OF
the Vernal equinox, about March 20
or q, the light is at It's brightest. al
though 1t can be seen only at It's best
in districts remote from brilliantly
lighted cities, and on very clear nights,
such as last night.
The same phenomenon can be wit
messed in the early morning skies OF
late August and all through the month
OF September or about the time OF the
autumnal equinox.

At st. Johnsbury on Armistice day a
novel stunt was staged. 1t was announced
that something mysterious would be
pulled off. but the public did not get wise
to it. Several Red agitators drove
along the street and exhorted the populace
in favor of Bolshevic doctrines. AS
planned, the Legion boys participating,
they soon organized fiery mass meeting
in which the government came in for bit
ter denunciation. Policemen tried to stop
the affair, but were manhandled. Then
someone turned in riot call and Com
pany ID was summoned. The members
rushed to the armory, got their guns,
formed and marched to the meeting place.
where a hot fake battle ensued. The as
semblage was finally dispersed and the
ringleaders led out, lined up against a
wall and executed with blank cartridges
The affair was staged in part to cause
excitement and in part to give the local
militia company practice in handling a
riot. 1t did both.
