THE AURORA eoREALis.


Spectacle That Is Magnificent In
It's Impressfveness.
1t was trifle past the afterglow OF
sunset, and the sea was a deep rich
purple, with long flowing swells. The
sky, fine light turquoise blue at ho-
rizon, gradually deepened into a rich
cobalt, in which a few stars twinkled.
A majority of the men were absorbed
In various occupations below when
call of enthusiasm brought all up on
deck. At point low on the southwest
horizon q faint film had arisen, which
quickly, silently assumed the form of
curtain, waving and mounting upward
in two stately columns past a group Of
finely shaped cirrostratus. In few
seconds It was across the zenith, dis
playing beautiful pale yellows, green's
and delicate pink and blue lights, with
edgings at intervals of faint purple and
red The columns descended rapidly in
ever varying spirals Of perspective un-
til the avant garde was lost behind the
far northwest horizon.
We were about off the Danish port of
Godthaab. Greenland, sufficiently
southern latitude at this season for the
alienation of day and night and as the
heavens darkened the stars shone with
increasing brightness through this
great shimmering veil of light.
The heavens and the sea grew darker
and darker, and the aurora brighter
and brighter in lightning changes of
form and color, with the green and vel
low and blue rays predominating and
the delicate sheen from the aurora's
light writhing in fiery serpent forms
over the face of the moving waters.
What impressiveness, what magniti-
cence! 1t held the soul as in a spell.

How to stop Escaping Gas.

A gas escape can be stopped by rub
bing a little soap on the pipe ut the
point where the leakage occurs. This
will not prevent the necessity of II visit
from the plumber. but will enable you
to walt for his coming with caimness.
If you find gas is escaping open the
windows and let the gas In the room
escape before you hunt for the damage
in the pipe with a light. When plenty
Of fresh mir has blown out the accumu-
lated gas from the room then you may
search for the escape, but never take
a light into room smelling OF gas
till you have done this. for by doing
so you risk an explosion.

The high water mark In wells
completed and new production ap-
pears to have been reached In
June. In spite OF the enormous
activity to be witnessed all over the
region, fewer wells were completed
in the Eastern and Western fields
In July ano there was most pro-
nounced decline In the new pro-
duction. Another big gain In field
operations was recorded In the sec.
lions producing Pennsylvania oil,
while the work under way In the
Trenton rock fields In only slightly
In excess of that of June. Over
2, 100 rigs and drilling wells were
under way In the New York, Penn
svlvania, West Virginia, Ohio and
Indiana fields at the close of July,
and new wells throughout the
month were completed at the rate
of 50 every "a hours.
Wells completed In the Pennsyl'
vania regions decreased So In July
and there was decline of 554 bar
rels In the new production. At
the same time, the Trenton rock
oil districts showed a decline of IS
wells and zoos barrels production.
These are surprising figures and
were not generally expected.
Taken In consideration with the
enormous field activity displayed
everywhere 1t indicates that the
critical stage, so long predicted by
Pennsylvania oil men, was closer at
hand than ever before. There
never was time, in the history OF
the industry, that such tremendous
efforts to increase the new produc'
ton and discover new pools were
attended with such poor results.
The caiibre OF the new wells has
been steadily decreasing until the
Pennsylvania average has fallen to
ten, the Buckeye to IL and the In
diana to IS barrels per well. There
Is a most strenuous demand for
large amount of territory that will
produce our high grade oils, but
where it is coming from Is not ap-
parent at the present time.
In the sections producing Pennsyl
vania oil, wells completed decreased
s. and new production 554 barrels
In July; at the same time there was
a decrease of 80 In the number OF
dry holes. On the other hand, rigs
increased 50 and wells drilling IS
during the month, making net
gain of 90 In new work. The June
increase In wells completed In the
Pennsylvania field was 124 and In
new production 476 barrels. During
June new rigs showed an increase
OF Is and wells drilling of 53,making
total of 60. There were 81 more

| that it is a crime to be too slender
across the chest and too thin in the
bust.
It has been discovered that the
waist can be controlled, not by corsets,
but by exercise. and the girl of pro-
l-gress is the one who profits by this
I discovery. Placing both her hands
upon her waist line she initiates her
I chest swelling it out until the buttons
upon her blouse fairly crack.
Then she draws her abdomen in and
swells out her ribs, all the time push
ing downward with her hands upon
her hips. When she has finished this
| exercise, she knows that her waist is
quarter of an inch longer than be-
fore and that her chest is fuller.
The girl of today has the smallest
waist of any woman in the world, the
smallest uncorseted waist, for the
American girl does not lace. She
wears corsets, but she wears them
very loose and she pulls them down
lfIoW, so that, were she measured with
and without, she would be consider
ably larger with her corsets on than
without them. This has been tried
again and again, and the girl of per-
/ feet figure is always a trif1e larger
with her corsets on which is exactly
as it should be.
The woman of today, being perfect
ly formed, is long of limb This, too,
| is something that can be acquired
Take tie woman who is fiabby in her
muscles and she will tell you that she
is too short in her lower limbs. That
is an effect of being too stout. If
women wore boomers they would
notice this more quickly.
Fat men will tell you that as they
grow fat and as the waistband in
creases in size their legs grow shorter.
And SO it is with a woman.
But the ideal girl of today is not fat.
She has taken it all off with exercise,
with massage and in various ways in
Guiding walking, cycling and dieting
until she is just the right size. She
wears a fiat fronted straight corset
which gives her the desired front line,
and she is slender below the belt so
that her limbs are as long as nature
intended to have them and as 1.-THE as
art and graceful exercise can make
them
In the arms the woman Of today is
declared to be particularly lovely. She
has taken elbow exercise until her ell
bows are just round enough and her
arms are covered with a layer of soft.
smooth flesh, but with not an ounce
of over flesh. The arms that are big
and red and fat are memories only of
other days.
The figure Of the ideal girl, the girl
