Abstract
IF the phenomenon of so-called “sun pillars” can only obtain when the atmosphere is “quite free from convection currents … (which it seldom is)” [see NATURE, March 20], is it not reasonable to suspect that the thing seen on March 6 was not such an atmospherical phenomenon? since it was viewed east and west from Brighton to the Cornish coast and northwards to High Barnet and Carmarthen Bay, so far as has been already ascertained.
