IN many parts of Ireland a scarlet aurora is supposed to be a ``shower of blood.'' In 1854 while stationed at Bearhaven, County Cork, a scarlet aurora that then appeared was said to be the blood of the people that were slain at Balaclava. About two years ago, while driving between Oughterard and Clifden, at two o'clock in the morning, there was a magnificent scarlet aurora (by far the most brilliant I ever saw), on which the car-driver remarked, ``I wonder, can that be the blood of the Americans?'' The late aurora is said to be the blood of the Frenchmen.
