' It would be interesting to know just what form the matter which reflects the light has assumed. That it should be mere ashes-seems out of the question, as solid articles could not remain suspended or so long a period in so rare an atmosphere. Astronomers will, per. haps, see some similarity between this attenuated form of matter, whatever it may be, and that which, surrounding the sun, gives rise to the corona. The i more daring speculators can hardly fail to point out the eat similarity between this eruption an its course around the globe and the eruptions which are con- stantly recurring from the surface of the sun of matter which finds its way around the solar globe. Mr. Lockyer suggests, with great force, that the cosmic dust to which Professor Nor- denskjold has called attention has really been ejected by volcanoes on the sur- face of the earth. This theory of the brilliant sunsets minht seem open to more serious doubt if the action of an analogous cause were not familiar to us. To a traveller over the continent it is very evident that the ‘ smoke which so frequently fills the air ‘ over the entire Atlantic seaboard during the autumn months arises from the burning of forests and rairie grass on the Western plains. I he crosses the Rocky Mountains while this annual con- flagratiqn is in progress, the distant scenery which is so charming a feature of his journey at other seasons will be entirely shut out from view, and he will enjoy the paradoxical ex crience of crossing the mountains wit iout seein them. If he is on his way east he wi 1 find that the smoke which fills the air from the Sierra Nevada to the Rock Mountains is continuous with that whic 1 envelope the Eastern cities at the same epoch. But this smoke never rises to a great height, and so produces none of the brilliant eflects which now arise from the vaporous accumulations which new ems; (in n. as greater l-t-ivht than the heights at which anything but pure aur was ever before known.-â€"N. Y. Post, be a true explanation. Mr.‘ Loekyer attributes the explanation to Dr. Mel- drum. and it will no doubt be found that the idea has been suggested by various meteorologists. when the theory is once established. The theory is that this extraordinary matter was thrown up by the volcano of Krakatoa about the end of August last. The eruption which then occurred is described as perhaps the most memorable of which history has given an account. Durind its progress an islan several thousand feet high was entirely submerged. So great was the mass of matter ejected that darkness covered the earth and sea for many miles around. The progress of the ejected matter can then be traced from continent to continent. as it was carried along by the tradcwinds. Its existence was made known by the singular aspect of the sum, not only when rising and setting, but in India. even near midday,its color being changed to a pale green. Towards the end of October it reached this country and gave rise to the splendid sunsets which have been witnessed nearly every clear evening. The greenish aspect of the sun has also been noticed abofi the time of setting, but has not bé‘cn con~ spicuous atrother hours. To Mr. J. Norman Lockyefi tfié‘HJted physicist of London, is due the credit of fighting out what appears at present to 9 true 9xplanatlon. Mr. Lockyer The orgeous red twilight which has follow the setting of the sun and pre- ceded its rising during the past three months seems in a fair Way of reaching an explanation. As in many other cases, the explanations first pro sed are readily shown to beentirely iua miSo sible. At least one astronomer attrio hated the appearance to a cloud of minute meteors which perhaps had come from the tail of somecomet. Were this the case the appearance Would have shown itself at any time of night and in any part of the sky. Being in fact only an unusually Nd and bright twilight. it could have been only reflected sunlight. The aurora explanation can be disposed of in the same way. The aurora would be better seen after the close of twilight and would appear equally in every )art of the heavens. But the red g we have always disappeared when the sun 0t so far below the horizon that twil- ight ceased. On the other hand, a very simple calculation from the ob- served heights of the red arches of light shows that the sunlight must be reflect- ed from matter forty or fifty miles above the earth, or near the highest limit at which air reflects light. The most natural cause to be assumed at first sight was an extraordinary condensation of vapor at this enormous height. per- haps we mi ht say an unusually high layer of 0 us clouds. But this explanatiou became improbable, as news came from Various parts of the world that the same appearances were obserVed on a still larger scale, not only ot‘er Europe. but even in India. It then became evident that this attenuated matter. whatever it was. was scattered over the _ upper regions of the atmos. phere allareund the globe. The question 13 then raised where such an. extraor. dinary addition to our atmosphere could haye come" from and what it could be. i The RM sn'nsets.
