8 THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, JANUARY 10, 1870. T V INT K Is 14 I K IX R. THE HAL!). The Hrtllhnt Atmospherical rkriiomraiin f l.nfl i-.vrtiinU' Haw It wa I'rotlarefl. Last cvulDc the moon was surrounded by a halo r more than usual biUliancy and distinctness. At 8 o' lock the moon was about 45 degrees above the nerbvon, and the brilliant circle by which It was bun rounded had a radius apparently or about twenty decrese, which actual measurement would have shown to be a little less than twenty-two degrees The Inner edge of the halo was clearly defined, but on the outer edge the bright light was gradually merged In darkness. Within the circle the sky was of a very dark color, mnch darker than It was for a distance of several decrees without the halo; and jnst within it, at the extreme eastern end, glittered the planet Venii even moro beautiful than usual because displaying her beauty on such an ample and unbroken background. According to the popular Impressions prevailing, the appearance of such phe nomena is regarded as a forerunner, In winter time, f snow, a theory to which science lends assent. The halo Is formed, in summer time as well as In winter, by the refraction of the light of the sun or moon, as the case may be, through crystals of Ice iloatlng in the atmosphere. Jn summer, when the phenomenon Is frequently observed, the condensed vapor of the atmosphere at a moderate elevation is frozen, even iB the very hottest weather while In winter the ice ,...oi. uanma thn nlinnc of (lakes Of snow. No Matter in what posl'Jon any particular ice or Bnow crystal may be placed, the effect istho same, and the ray of light from tle sun or moon is refracted at each an angle as to make it coincide with all other refracted rays in forming the halo with a radius of twenty-two degrees. The space within the circle Is darker than the space without It, beeauso rrom no wart of this space can a ray of light refracted by Ice prisms reach the eye of the observer. Klaborate Mathematical calculations show that, in the case of kaio around the sun, wlieu the different colors of llic prism are usually apparent, the inner edge being olercd red and the outer a pale blue, the deviation f the red rays of the sun's light Is 21 degrees 37 Minutes, and that of the vloict rays 2'i degrees 2- Minutes. The average of eighty-three measnre Ments of the radius of the red edge of the halo Is 21 degrees 8 mluutes, which Is alinoBt identical with ike result of the theoretical computation. The ordl mary halo of 22 degrees radius is formed by the re daction of the rays through the "Simplest form of Ice crystals, which are right prisms terminated by hexa gonal bases perpendicular to the sides. The alter nate faces of such prisms arc Inclined to each other at an angle of 60 degrees. But the angle.formed by cither base and one of the sides or faces la one or 90 degrees, and where the rays aro refracted thro.igh the lower portions of the ice crystals, a second halo is produced, having a radius of about it degrees, nd exhibiting phenomena similar to the Inner halo already described Jn this circle, us in the former, actual observation coincides almost exactly with theoretical computation, the deviation of the red Kays llirounh a prism of Ice having an angle of 90 degrees being found to be 45 degrees 6 minutes, and that, of the bluo rays 4 degrees 60 minutes, while the average of the best observations gives a radius of 45 degrees 40 minutes to the brightest portion of the outer halo. A tl,ir,i nal niM occasionally been seen around the sun, having a radius of about SO de grees, but only three observations of this rare phe nomenon are on record, and Its exact dimensions arc not well determined, nor can it be accounted for ntlsfactorlly on scientific principles, as in the case et the firBt and second haloes. It la quite an easy experiment to produce artificial haloes. The expe rimenter nwy crystalizc some salt like alum upon a glass plate, and on looking through this plate at the sun or a candle he will observe three distinct circles of light, possessing the same characteristics as the natural halo. A few dropB of a saturated or strong solution of alum, spread on a plate of glass, will soon cover it with a layer of minute crystals, having the shape of a regular octahedron, with truncated angles, or angles formed by planes oblique to some " of the faces. The different faces are Inclined to each other at angles of 70, 00, and 110 degrees, and the three hulocs observed 'are formed by the refrac tion of rays of light through corresponding pairs of faces inclined to each other at the different angles severally named; Tiik Uichmond Stiiket Fiuk The following is the complete list of insurances upon the property destroyed by Arc at A.

This afternoon, at 4 e'clock, an adjourned meeting of conveyancers of. Philadelphia will be held in the lecture room of the new Mercantile Library, on Tenth street. The object or these gatherings is to secure some legislation at llarrlsburg, maklug a two years' probation requisite to be spent in aconveyaiieer's oftlce before anyone shall draw a deed or do other acts incidental to the profession or a conveyancer. The Increasing number f real estate dealers and brokers in this city render this course requisite, if the high fees or conveyancing are to he maintained ; while so many lawyers are en gaged In real estate movements and operations that it Is not probable that the desired legislation will be nccompiished without a struggle.

The i illowlnir, general orders announcing the death of General Mower have been issued: Wapihnciton, D. C, .Tan. T, 1R70. Tt is with heart felt pain and sorrow that the General of the Array announces to tho country and to his fellow-soldiers the death or Brevet Major-tlencral Joseph A. Mower, who died InTsew Orleans, on the 8th lnst.. or congestion or the lungs. General Mower began his military career as a private soldier in the company or engineers that served with marked distinc tion in the Mexican war, was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant In the 1st Infantry, Jane 18, 1805, arid was promoted to First Lleutenaut March 13, ISBT. At the breaking out of the war of tho rebellion he commanded Company II, 1st Iurnntry, and took part In the siege and capture or New Mad rid, and May Mh, he was commissioned as Colonel or the 11th Mlssoim volunteers, and took part in the Corinth campatgL, and was conspicuous at luka, October s, lRa, ween he was wounded severely, and ror a time In te hands or the enemy. He first tell under the Immediate command or the present General or the Army In the Vlrksuurg cam paign, and very soon atti acted his notice by deeds or personal bravery that irould require a volume to reconl. From that date to the close of the war he was en gaged in every campaign in the West at. Jackson, Vickshurg, Meridian, the Bed river In Missouri when he was called personally to the aid or the General at Atlanta, and accompanied him, rising thrcngh all the grades, until the end ot the war, when he commanded the swih Corps. A better sol dier or a braver man never lived than Joseph A. Mower, and the General can recall many In stances when he displayed abilities of the highest umcr, miming mm io me iu il name ana rame or a general. Since the war he has exhibited his soldierly qualities bv standing at his post through pestilence and sickness, never asking a personal favor, and aiwaya sharing cheerfully the exposures of his men. The General In thus speaking of one to whom he was so strongly attae.iied reels certain that this, and more too, Is due to one who never spoke or hlmseir, and seemed oblivious or all things except to serve his country with his whole heart and his whole soul. By command of General Sherman. E. I). Townsend, Adjutant-General. The "Intelllerencer" Collapses. Alexander Delmar announces this morning that the National Intelligencer will no longer bo published.

MONEY MARKET. From the K. T. EeraUL "The various Wall street markets nnderwent a rather sudden transition during the week from dull ness and heaviness to activity and strength. The speculative combinations which have remained com- Saratlvely Idle since the September panic seem to ave entered the Held for a 'bull' campaign, and short as has been their movemeut, it has been de cidedly successful In effecting a marked advance iu prices. The money market has changed to stilt their plans, the expectations of ease as the week pro gressed acing quite saiisiacioriiy iuimieo. ai tno opening the rate on call retaiuod the stringent features of the previous week, when the various dividend paying institutions withdrew large sums of money from the street, but gradually relaxed as the money so disbursed found Its way back luto bank, until at the close borrowers on prime collaterals were accommodated at six per ceut. Indeed, the -tendency of the market under the accumulation of funds at this centre for the spring months, and which Is reflected In the eekiy statement or tho associated banks,' is to still greatcr'case, and gives rise to the -ImnresBton that the rate on call will descend to five and even four per cent, should no uulooked for -cause of activity Interrupt meantime. Capital at this season Is Inactive. With the approach of Janu- -ary 1 there Is a general winding up oi bunlness and a . suspension of operations In tbe ordinary channels or enterprise. Tito money thus withdrawn finds Its way to the metropolis for employment on call, our busy mart being always ready to use It in Wall street or elsewhere. It is only upon the spring opening of business that it begins to leave us again, the country banks which originally sent It being then the drawers. The market for commercial paper has been steady, but hardly lower, the relaxation on call being too fresh as yet to Influence a reduction In rates; but doubt less In tho immediate future we sha'l dud the etrects of the competition of tne country banks, wiiose win ter deposits seek this class of investment. Tne foreign exchanges have been firm on a moderate amount of business, aud despite the better supply of commercial bills arising out of the higher prices of gold. . , The 'bullish' speculation was very perceptible In the (old Boom, where the operations have been on a largely Increased scale, the clearances of Saturday exceeding $h&,ooo,ooo. The upward movement Is , the result of a strong speculative combination who entered the lists on the expected Inability and lack of intention on the part ot the Government to In crease its gold sules until the Treasury balance Is better tortiiied. The ctlecl was an advance In the whole from U9) to )23V, the latter point being attained on Saturday morning before the lntelll gnco wus received that the Government contem plated an extra sale of over a million and a half on Monday, the coin so to be disposed of consisting of the accrued interest on the bonds purchased by Secretary Boutwell for account of the sinking and special luBtlH. This news demoralized the specula tors, aud there was a rush to sell, under which the pricp declined to 121,',, closing finally at 121 V. The cliques seem to have lost courage over this disnr. liemment of the Treasury, and the market became rcverish and wavering, and probably will remain so until after the sale ou Monday, and perhaps until it Is dellultely ascertained that the Government will not further disturb the Jauuary programme."
