THE following is an account of the aurora of February 4 as seen by a gentleman living in Russia, at Auspatti, in the province of Vitebsk. After stating that the barometer had risen very high (30.2), he says :-``To-night, as I drove home from Reugarten, there was the most beautiful aurora borealis I ever o saw. It began in the north-west, and gradually rose higher and higher, till at last it reached the horizon a little north of east, and such a broad band, or rather succession of bands, that it covered half the heavens. It was a bright rose colour, and its light and colour-were reflected by the snow, so that the whole earth was rosy; though it was between nine and ten o'clock, and there was no moon, it was nearly as light at day. It is still in full force as I am writing, and I can see it from my window, but it constantly changes its form and colour'' I think the latitude of the place is 56 or 57.
