Aurora Visible In Daytime.

An aurora seen in the daytime is described by H. B. Collier in the Journal of the Royal Astronomical Society' of Canada. The writer was at Viking, Alberta, in latitude 53 degrees north, and observed the aurora half an hour before sunset on April 22. Its visibility was due to the fact that a cloud hung above the horizon, serving as a curtain of screen against which the aurora could be seen. The observer stated that ‘‘numerous bright, hazy, milklike streamers, appearing to have their source just below the cloud, darted upward, rising about 15 degrees.”
