THE AURORA BOREALIS.
Hongkong's strikes will be nothing and not altogether so very important too when com- pared with the absurd Iden of a strike of the sun; for while we can still maintain ourselves and enjoy perfect health in the event of a boycott or anything of that sort, we cannot possibly do very much in a perpetual night. Luckily for Hongkongites, Ra, the sun-god, is not so harsh upon us.
Unattractive as such a thing muy seem to be, yet in the fur North, within the Arctic Circle, the sun actually remains or strike For fully six months of the year. It appears until October, when it gradually darkeng: and from that time til March it is just one long night. The sole reason for this is that the earth's axis is not per pendicular, but is inclined at an Fangle of 23% degrees, and when it once passes the Equinoxes, March 21, and September 22, (a which, because the sun is directly over the equator, day and night degare more or less equal through- out) the North Pole is in one case entirely unsheltered from the sun, and in the other completely obscured from it.
