Theory of the Aurora.

Tie latest theory, and very ingeni.
Gus one, writes Frank Wilbert Stokes
in the Century, is that of Unterweger,
who supposes that cosmic ether, which
lis the celestial spheres, when met by
the earth's movement, is compressed
or condensed in front Of the earth
in the direction of its movement, and
dilated or rarefed, On the Contrary,
behind it. This cosmic either is more
condensed before the earth than that
which is borne along in the whirl OF
the world at from SO to "A miles per
second, and is more rarefed behind
The result is that one-half of the
earth, or the northern hemisphere,
will be negatively electrified and the
southern halt po.ftively electrified
with the space regions which they are
leaving. Only the magic of the spec.
troscope will probably push aside the
curtains of this grand mystery and re.
veal the truth.

BLONDE HAIR AND DARK.
Is the Color Token of Certain Men,
tai characteristics of Wearer?

Some curious statistics relating to
hair have been collected by the school
authorities of Lille, writes the Paris
correspondent of London Truth. Thus
the authenticated boys are generally
at the head of the recitation classes
and the blonde girls learn their les
sons best. Auburn boys and blonde
lasses come out highest as arithme-
ticians. But in composition they are
nowhere. The Gark-haired children of
both sexes have the quality of magma
ton and in their compositions know
how not to fatigue the attention. They
have movement and originality. In
short, they seem, as compared to the
auburns and blondes, born stylists.
Now that I think Of it, Sarah Bern
hardt is, Or was, auburn-haired, and
Nine. Bartet had light brown hair
twenty-five years ago-so light as to
be almost fair. l should not call the
late Nine Jacques St:rn (Croizette) in
the heyday of her charms blonde. But
she had a darkish shade of fair hair
that looked like heavy sheeny floss
silk, and the ruddiness that one asso-
ciates with auburn. Nine Samary was
also fair without being exactly
blonde.
dare say the auburn boys and
blonde lasses in the Lille elementary
schools are of Flemish, that is to say
phlegmatic, race. Their brains do not
grow at once congestcd when they
stand up to recite, and for that reason
they. keep the mastery OF the vocal
organs. In short, they continue to know
what they are about. The dark chill
dren are probably Of Celtic, that is to
say Gallo, origin. The blood comes
with a rush to their brains, and they
grow confused, sputter, and break
down. Ii they could only be taught to
remain silent for a few moments they
would be all the better for this rush, as
the confusion would have passed away,
leaving only stimulated mental organs.
Goldsmith, who was dark, always be-
gan by being confused in conversation.
O'Connell wore black wig, but his
real hair in youth was auburn. recol-
lect very old people who heard him
plead in his prime speak Of it as such.
His readiness was wonderful. But per
haps he might not have recited SO well
what somebody else had written.

THE GIANTS GRAVE.
A Curiosity on the Island of Rugen
That Interests Many Visitors.

The large island OF Rugen lies IN
he Baltic sea northwest Of the port
Of Stettin and close to the German
mainland. 1t has large summer pop
ulation. as thousands of visitors go
there for the sea baths.
The sea has played fast and loose
with Rugen and mas dug channels far
into the island. 1t has also made an
island of Rugen, which was a part Of
the mainland till It was torn away by
the ravages OF the waves.
In the highest northeast part of
tie island is a collection of enormous
granite boulders brought there in the
great Ice Age, and piled on one an
other in strangely regular fashion.
A passage was left partly through the
stone mound and one of the boulders
covered it, completely roofing it.
The mound is an object Of much In
lerest to visitors, both on account of
the manner in which it was formed
and also because ,uany traditions re-
lating to it have been handed down
from past generations. Scientific
men say that the natural forces which
produced this stone heap did the work
in the later stone period and that the
mound must be at least 5000 or $4,000
years old.
Tradition says that ages ago 1t was
the burial place of giant whose body
was laid in the passageway. The ISL
anders call it the 'Hunengrab," or
Giants Grave. The story goes also
that prehistoric residents Of the island
filled the passage with sacred objects
and that toward the end OF the eigh-
teenth century this treasure house Of
ancient curiosities was despoiled and
no one ever found what had become
Of the relics.
Time has done its work upon the
enormous boulders At the present day
the passage leading into the interior
of the mound is partly choked by the
debris that have fallen from the rocks:
and the rock that forms the roof has
partly slipped from the position it
once occupied. In other respects. how
ever, the Giants Grave is very we'll
preserved.
Rugen Is of great interest to arch
aeologists because it is rich in prehis-
toric remains. Fortified camps are
very numerous, most Of them dating
back no further than the days Of the
expiring heathenism which disappear
ed before the advancing wave of
Christianity.
Numerous pits in the forest indi-
cate the sites of ancient habitations
contemporaneous with the pile dwell
ings which date back to the stone age.
The island, with its limestone cliffs.
it's forests of beech trees descending
tc the seashore. is prehistoric relics
and the fine opportunities it offers for
a pleasant and quiet sojourn by the
sea, Is one of the most interesting and
useful islands, but its inhabitants
know we'll that the sea is constantly
biting into the limestone of their ISL
and and that it is melting beneath
their feet. Unless something is done
to protect it the island will at some
future time entirely disappear.-New
York Sun.

ENGLAND MAY DISAPPEAR.
The East Coast Said to Be Receding
at an Alarming Rate.

According to the London Express
the inroads made By the sea into the
east coast Of England have seriously
alarmed the local authorities, who
have Intellectually spent many thou
sands of pounds In protective works,
and an important conference was re-
Gently held at Norwich to consider this
matter.
The position of affairs IS, indeed.
very serious. Lowestoft, which has
had to spend between $4,000 and
100000 on protective works, has been
especially hard hit.
The north beach has been undergo
ing a steady process of deDudation by
the sea, while the Ness has all but dis
appeared, and the lighthouse has been
at least three times removed further
inland within living memory.
At Kirkley and Pakefield, adjacent
hamlets, houses built comparatively
recently have had to be taken down
to prevent them topping over into the
ocean. At Pakefeld heaps of broken
concrete lie strewn on the beach, all
that remains of the protective works,
and at a wreck a few weeks before
Christmas the lifeboat could not be
launched on account of the debris.
Further south the cliffs have been
washed quite away.
A familiar instance Of the ruin
wrought by the sea further south IS
Dunwich, about five miles below South
void.
Once a flourishing town with h2r-
Dor and fishery extending to Iceland,
and in earlier times a bishops scat.
Dunwich is now wiped out. Only a
few crumbling walls denote the ruins
Of the sole surviving church on the
cliff.
The land there used to extend miles
further out, and it IS on record that
over q score of churches stood where
the ocean now reigns.
Several other parishes have been
practically blotted of the face of the
earth in Norfolk by the encroaching
sea, such as Little Waxhar, Whimp
we'll, Shipden and keswick.
