I of 19 he I The Polar lighl is a light which i Iroojiienlly seitn near the horizon, bearing some resrinblnnce tu the morning twilight, whetiie it has re ceived tho naino of Aurora. In the I northern hemisphere it is usually 1 termed " Aurora Borcalis, because it is chiefly seen in the north. A aimilur phenomenon is u'.so seen in 1 the southern hemisphere, where it is called '' Aurora Australia, hach of tht-m may, with greater proprie-1 ty, bo cnlloJ "Aurora 1'olaris," 1'ular Light. They exhibit an end leva variety of appearance.. In the United States nn aurora is uniform- ly precede J by a hazy or slaty up- pearanco of the sky, particularly m tho neighborhood of tho northern horir.oti. When tho auroral display commerces, this hazy porticn of tho sky assumes tho torm of a dark bank or segment of a circlo in the north, rising ordinarily to the height of from five to' ten degreos. This dark segment is not a cloud, for the stars aro seen through it as thro' a smoky nimorpcro, w ith Iiltlo dimi- nution of brillinncy. This -dark bank is simply a dense haze, and it I appears darker from the contrast with tho luminous aro which rosts upon It. In high northern latitudes when tho aurora covers the entire heavens, tho whole sky seems filled with a donso baxo; and still highor latitudes, where tho aurora is soma- limos seen in tho south, this dark segment is obscrvoil resting on tho southern hortson and bordorod by the auroral light. Auroras aro sometimes obsorwd Nimnltancoiisly over large portions of tho globo, - Tho aurora of August 23, 1859, was soon throughout moro than 140 degroes of longitude, from Kastcrn Europo to California; and from Jamaica on tho south to an unknown distance in British Amer- ica on the north. The aurora of Septombcr 2, 1359, was secn nt tho Sandwich Islands; il was soon thro'- ought the whole of North America and Europe; nnd tho disturbnnco ol Ihe magnetic needle indicated Us presence throughout all northern Asia, iUuuuB mo .., -o -' cast so that at many places it could not bo seen. An aurora was soon at the same timo in South Atnorica and New Holland. Tho auroras of Scptombor SB, 1841, and Noverabor, i7,l43, were a.most cqnany ex- tullBlVO.. . Tho height of a largo number of auroras has been computed, and tho average, result for tho qppnr limit of the streamers is 450 miles. From multitudo of observ.tions It is concluded that the aurora seldom appears al an elovation less man about fortv-flvo miles abovo the carth'a surface, nnd that It frequent ly extends upward to an elevation it 500 milos. Auroral archoa hav ing a well-defined border ar gen erally less than ono hundred miles in height. Auroras aro very unoqually dis tributed over the earth's surface.- They occur roost frequently tn tho highf r latitudes, and are almost tin known within the tropics. At Ua vans, in latitude 23 degrees, but six auroras have been recorded within a hundred years, and souihoflla. vana anroraa aro still more unfre Quont. A wo travel northward from Cuba, auroras ineroaae in ir quency nnd brilliancy j they rlso hitrher in tho heavens, and oitoner ascend to tho xonuh. Noar the par allot of 40 degrees wo find on an a v orage only ton auroras annually. Noar tho pavallol of 4Z degrees the avcrago numoer is iwomy atimu ally; near 45 degrees tho uumbcr is 40; aud near tbo varallel of docrces it nmonnts to oiglity annu ally. Between this point nnd ihe parallel of 62 degrees auroras, du ring tho winter nre soon almost ev- eryiug1t. Thojr ppofcr high in the heavens, ana a ouen m ma noum as the north. In regions mrtneri north they ar aeldo.u seen except m the south, nnd from this point diminish in frequency and brilliancy as we ndranva toward the pole- Beyond latitsJe C2 tlcree lha average numlier o: anroraa is reduced to forty annually. Beyond latiludo C7 degrees it is rod need lu twenty j and near latitnde 78 d- greoa il ia rcducod i ten annually. Aaroral exliiliiioua take place in the upper region of the atmos phere, since they partake of tho enrth'a rotation. Alt the celestial bodies have .an apparent ntoliou Irom eanl to neat, arising from the rotation of the earth; lu. bodies belonging to the earth, including the ntmoebhero and the cloud) which float in It, pnrtnko of the earth a rotation, o that their roht- live ptmition is not affecteJ by it. The ssmo is truo of auroral cxhibi- tioim. Whenever the auroral coro- na is formed, it mmn'ains sensibly ihe tamo position in the heavens during tho whole period of its con tmunnce, nlthough tho stars mean- while revolve at tho rate of 15 do orlgrees por hour. The grosser part of the earth's at- mosphere is limitnd to A moderate distanro from the earth. At tha height of a lilllo over four milos, tbo density of the air is only one. half what ills at the earth's sur- face. At tho height of fifty mile tbo atmosphere is well-nigh inap preciable in it effects, npon twilight. The phenomena of luntr eclipses 'n. dicnto an appreciable atmosphere at tbo height of sixty-six milos. The phenomena of shooting stars indi cate an atmosphcro al tho lu icjht of 200 or 300 milos, while the aurora indicates that tbo atmosphere- doca not entirely ccaso at tho height of 500 mile. Auroral exhibitions lake place, thereforo, in an atmosphere extreme rarity; mi rare, iudesd, ir u cxnonmcnts with an air- a pump, Wo could exhaust all tho air as completely, wo should say that we had obtained a perfect vacuum. The auroral beams are simply spaces which aro illominatod by the flow of electricity through the tip- por regions of tho atmosphcro. Du ring tho auroras of 1849 these beams I wero nearly 500 miles in length, Lnd their lower extremities were el - ovntcd about 15 miles abovo tho oiu th'a surfaco.
