IN July last, on a fine night, about 8 p.m. (two hours after sunset), I noticed a fleecy cloud lit up by a yellowish light, directly over the back of a range of hills due west from this place. As it did not move, it struck my attention, and I observed that what little wind there was carried the few floating clouds northeast to southwest. I continued to watch the cloud, which covered say 4° or 5°, until 11 p.m., and concluded that as in that direction lay the Puracé volcano, about 40 miles away, the light and cloud probably came from it. But I made inquiries by telegraph, and found that no eruption had taken place in the Puracé, which has been quiet now for many years. I regret, seeing now that the subject is interesting, that I did not observe more carefully. I may add that in the direction of the cloud no prairie or forest fire could have occurred to account for it.
