Scientific paper

MISS HERSCHEL (a careful observer) has just called me out to see one. At 7.10 p.m. she saw the sun above a bank of clouds, in a somewhat hazy sky, but no clouds above it for a space of some 5 degrees. Above that was a light-fringed belt of clouds of great depth. From the sun a parallel-sided pillar of light, just like the reflection of the sun in a slightly rippled sea, stood upright into, and stopped at, the light-fringe; it was not so bright as the reflection spoken of would be, but markedly brighter than the background sky; colour yellow. Miss Herschel had to bicycle home three-quarters of a mile uphill to call me, and it was fading before she reached home.
