Synopsis
Excerpt from Early Days of the Engineer School of Application
It will be noted, although there seems to be no correspondence be tween the above number of auroras and the number of sun spots as reported by Prof. Todd, that there is a remarkable correspondence be tween the auroras as observed at Willets Point and the epochs of maximum and minimum sun spots as reported by Prof. Fritz. It is certain that the heavens were carefully watched by our soldiers; indeed one of the watchmen, private Thomas Murphy of Company B, discovered and reported a new comet at 2h 20m A. M., on June 22, 1881, which was in advance of any other of the numerous claims reported by the newspapers.
