SKY LESS BLUE.
SCIENTIST'S OBSERVATION.
(BT CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION'—COPTRIGET). (AUSTR\LIAN /.KD N.Z. AND SCX CABLE. J LONDON, September IS. Sir William Napier. Shaw declares that there is a measurable loss of blueness in the sky, probably world-wide, owing to some cloudiness, -possibly due to chemicals or moist particles, affecting its appearance. Ihe climatic behaviour is perhaps the result of some remote unrecorded volcanic upheaval. He .adds that meteors and iire-balls have been unusually numerous during the past three years, and he cites a strange blue flash recently seen in daylight in many parts of Britain. . [Sir William Napier Shaw is Professor . of Meteorology at the Royal College of Science.]
