This is probably the most portentous natural phenomenon which has been observed dining the recorded history or man. It is watched by men of science with eipial wouder and alarm, for they have no knowledge of any appearance of a similar character. Naturally there have been many speculations as to its nature. I'rot'cssor Sevcrinus J.
