SLINGS v -- :H In regard to the halo around the suit i ' created which mueh, excitement throughout the eastern section of this couhtry, Mr. Justice Stahn. secretary of the astronomical section of the Maryland Academy of Science, aaya: Very often, when the heavens are overcast by slight, or light, fleecy cloudB, we observe colored rings about the moon and the sun. They are termed halos, or aureoles. I have never observed a halo about the un in the latitude of Baltimore, but halos about the moon are quite frequent One of most brilliant that I have observed in Baltimore occurred some Unrein the beginning of 1901, Very often the halos do not form s complete circle, Ynit are visible only In sections. Probablyythe reason we do not notice the halo about the sun Is on account of Its intense brilliancy, and that we do not look At It directly. Tbe beat way to observehlog lg to observe the reflection of the un In a black mirror, black glass or ghreg smoked on one aide. In meteorology, the . halos are divided Into two classes the corona, which la of email diameter, and the halo, which la of a greater extent. In the corona the color of the Inner part of tbe ring la blue, and the outer red. In the large halo the red U On tbe inside and the blue outside. ThVcorona is clashed as a different phenomena that is, the light from the sun ortnoon in encountering the small particlegln the cloud or which form the cloud broken up, scattered or diffracted, lt the graftings that Prof. Rawland ruled at the Johns Hopkins university. Diffracted light may be of two kinds It may pass through line material and' he diffracted like in a transnIsslon grating, or it may be broken np by encoun terlng the fine particles and being reflected. We never have a diffraction caused by a reflection of the light from the small particle in the cloud. - The halo Is supposed to be due bqth to diffraction and reflection. 'When light la diffracted It passes through a medium W - A Queer Things Astronomers See Through Big Telescopes M- - t4 'tM - which both disperses it and bends It out of its course. Thus the rainbow k produced by the sunlight passing through tbe drops of water and the water regional ways opposite to the sun. Halos occur only la the higher" cloud and are more frequent .than the corona. Sometimes the ' halos Intersect each other, and at ther intersection round patches are formed, called mock suns. The particles of matter forming the medium for refracting the light are mostly small Ice crystals or ice needles. Mr. Gildetsleeve, the late president of the Baltimore Astronomical Society, related that at various time he had observed enow storms through the telescope while making daylight observations of the stare and planets. At any rate there is considerable solid matter in the atmosphere that we sometimes observe In sweeping around with the telescope. On rare occasions we can see a bird flying across the field of view, of which not a sign can be seen with the naked eye. Then, again, small specks fly across,' looking like email meteors. At one time 1 observed a ray seeming to have its origin at the setting sun on the horizon and extending as a slender beam clear to the senith and lost to view a little to the east of the senith. The mock auns are mostly seen in high latitudes We can then come to the conclusion that halos and mock suns are simply due to the state of the atmosphere when it contains moisture, ice crystals and st snow, and they existed from the times, when the earth had been fashioned to its present condition, and there lk no cause for alarm."
