The Indian Name.

Early European settlers along the

its application to the natives whom
the European explorers found here.

Columbus and his crews came to

called Indians.

"EARTH-LIGHT"
TN studying the amount of light

IN studying the amount Of light in
= the sky on q starlit night, one
scientist has reached the interesting
conclusion that the luminosity of the
sky is caused partly by direct starlight
and partly by some other source OF light
This latter he proposes to call "earth-
light" and he suggests that it may be
due to a permanent aurora attending the
earth.
The light is variable. not only on Diff
ferent nights, but at different hours of
the same night. He has found it to be
from seven to fifteen times the amount
