BLUE SKY
LOSING ITS COLOR FAMOUS SCIENTIST'S EXPLANATION. LONDON, September 18. (Received September 19, at 11.45 a.ra.) Sir William Napier Shaw declares that there is a measurable loss in the blueness of the sky, probably worldwide, owing to some cloudiness, possibly due to chemicals or moist particles, affecting the appearance and climatic behaviour, perhaps the result of a remote unrecorded volcanic upheaval. Ho adds that meteors and fireballs have been unusually numerous in the past three years, and cites the strange bine flash recently seen in the sky in daylight in many parts of Britain.—Sydney ‘ Sun ’ Cable. [Sir William Napier Shaw has been president of the meteorological section of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics since 1921.]
