Thinks the aurora borealis about 200 leagues above the 

 earth : in one instance, Cramer computed the height to be 

 160 leagues. Supposes it derived from the sun's atmo- 

 sphere, extending in some directions beyond the earth's 

 orbit ; attributes the nebulae of stars and the tails of comets 

 to a similar substance.
