suffusions of color mounting re-
nithward from the mysterious
north-a phenomenon worthy OF
profound marvel, and affording
deep delight. Yet how large a
proportion of the people saw this
flashing panorama of the heav-
ems? A very small proportion In
deed, when compared with those
who might have seen 1t If they
had lifted up their eyes in its
direction but did not. There are
even mature persons, in this land
of the northern United States
which, with Canada, is the true
home of the aurora, who have
never really beheld its splendors.
The millions who walk the earth
are indeed singularly Indifferent
to the heavenly phenomena. Yet
they would like to see such things
If they were called to their atten-
ton. When they do see them
they are often filed with wonder.
Why should not the appearance
of the aurora borealis be announc-
ed to the people from the broad
70
it would be easily practicable. and
the dissemination of the news
would add to the pleasure of thou
sands.
Few are the years, in this lati-
tude and on this continent, when
there are not at least two or three
magnificent displays of aurora
borealis. They seem to be almost
a peculiar possession of our land,
They occur, to be sure. in Europe,
but not at all notably except in a
latitude much farther north than
that in which they are frequently
seen and enjoyed on this CONT
nent. The aurora borealis does
not make it's appearance in litera-
ture at all until as late as the
year 1860. So far as we know,
Shakespeare never saw the north
ern lights. The British isles new
err really awoke to consciousness
of this phenomenon until 1716,
when a noble one flashed all the
way from Ireland to Russia. Our
Pilgrim and Puritan fathers mar
veled at the spectacle which the
lights newly, as it We're, unfolded
to them and often supposed them
to be supernatural warnings of
events to come. AT last, since
they were country dwellers and
watchers of the skies, our fathers
grew familiar with them. To our
own generation they bring no
fear, no warning, though they
may be associated with sun spot
maxima" and possibly-though no
one is yet warranted in any such
positive assumption regarding
them-with meteorological chang
es. At all events, they are beau
tiful and inspiring. When they
come, all should rejoice to see
them. Let the radio give us word
when they appear. lest we bend
our heads beneath our evening
lamps and know not they are
there.
