: Not Aurora Australia.
Having recently seen in the pa
pers an explanation givenv. of the
recent lights appearing just after
sunset, and just before sunrise, by
calling them the Aurora Australis,
I think it will be interesting to
your readers to correct this opin
ion, and give a true statement of
the cause. The Aurora , Australis
has never been seen further north
than Cuzco in Peru, and that at a
height, of n,coo feet above the
level of the sea, and if it should
be seen on this side of the equa
tor, it would be "Borealis" and
not "Australis." The light we see
is what is called the "Zodiacal
light," a faint, nebulous Aurora,
which accompanies the sun. It
was fijst noticed by Kepler, but
first describedind na.tied by.Dom
inie Cassini, and is aTw"ays ' best
seen in the months of May and
October; the . reason of this is,
that its form is eliptical and ex
ceedingly eccentric, the major ax
is, being many times .greater than
the minor. At these periods of
the year the major axis being
nearly perpendicular to the hori
zon, it is seen long after sunset,
and before sunrise; but when the
minor axis is perpendicular to the
horizon, it cannot be seen. Cas
sini thought it might proceed from
the blended light from an innum
erable multitude of little planets
circulating about the sun, as the
Milky Way owes its appearance to
the light of agglomerated myriads
of stars. Euler endeavored to
prove that it: proceeds irom the
same cause as the tails of comets.
Kepler and others attribute it to
the solar atmosphere; but Laplace,
the great s French astronomer,
proved this to be impossible be
cause it extends far beyond the
orbit of Mercury, and the form
of the solar atmosphere could not
correspond with the lenticular ap
pearance of the "Zodiacal light.
Sir John Herschel says "it may be
conjectured to be no ; othr than
the denser part of that medium,
which as we have reason to be
lieve, resists the motion of comets;
loaded perhaps with the actual
materials of the tails of milli6;.s
of these bouL-s of which they
have been stripped in their suc
cessive perihelion passages, and
which may " be slowly subsiding
into the sun," This ' light has
long been well known to astronb
mers, and appears now more bright
perhaps on account of the condi
tion of the atmosphere.: A. S. ' A.
in Marietta Journal.
The Sunken Rails.
Of the railroad iron for the C.
F. & Y. V. Railroad which was
submerged in Cape Fear river a
short time since on its way up to
Fayettevi:L, the Wilmington Star

Anoth r horrid case of whole

in the North, this time in New

child were foully murdered and
bodies sa.iwtaed with ktn seneand

case of the kind a whole family

curred in the North within some
two weeks.
