Scientific paper

THE first sunset glow due to volcanic dust from the Andean eruption was seen in Cape Town on April 21. The glow, which was of remarkable intensity, started about fifteen minutes after sunset and lasted fully an hour, the colour being a deep fiery red. There were many inquiries that evening at the Cape Times office and at the Central Fire Station whether a large fire was raging in the suburbs there were also numerous telephonic inquiries at the Royal Observatory as to the cause of the phenomenon. I therefore gave a statement to the Cape Times, which appeared in the following morning's paper, attributing the phenomenon to volcanic dust from the Andean eruption, and anticipating that it would be followed by sunrise and sunset glows for several weeks.
