Abstract
HAPPENING to look out at 11.30 last night I perceived a strong auroral glow extending from N. by E. through N. to W. The light was quite bright, and on going into the garden I noticed that my body cast a shadow and that I could read the headlines of the Times quite readily. There were no streamers, but several luminous patches, especially due N., where a blunted cone of greenish light rose vertically up from the horizon to a height of 10°.
