An Artificial Aurorn

AT the Royal society rooms re-
Gently Prof. Ramsay showed an ex-
perimental proof of the electrical ma
ture of the northern lights. Between
the poles of a powerful electromag-
net he suspended an exhausted glass
globe, containing at the top a metal
lie ring. An alternating current dis
charged through the ring in the
globe produced an annular glow, and
when current was sent through the
coils of the electromagnetic the glow
was detected downward in stream
ers resembling those of the aurora
borealis. The spectrum of the natur-
al aurora shows the presence of
krypton, and in Prof. Ramsay's ex.
pertinent krypton was produced in
the discharge through the rarefied
air within the globe.

NEW BOER COLONY
GOING TO MEXICO

81 Paso, Texas, May 25.-General G..
D. Joubert and Captain w. S. O'Don-
nell, promoters of the Boer colony at
Tamaulipas, Mexico. are here, after
closing a contract with a syndicate
that will furnish finances for the col
ony. General Joubert, who fought with
the Orange Free State army and was
three times wounded, will bring over
the Beers. Captain O'Donnell, who
fought with De Wet and went to the
Transvaal when a lad from Ireland,
will bring Irish colonists.
The colony for which General Jou-
bert and Captain ODonnell have just
arranged, will be the second Boer col
ony to be planted in Mexico. The first
colony was started by General Snyman
near Santa Rosalia, in Chihuahua. The
Beers to come will occupy $1,000
acres

said Captain O'Donnell, but we could
make no terms which our people coulo
meet. The Texas company did not un-
derstand our situation. Our people
were left ruined by the war. General
Joubert lost everything, and l have
nothing. The unfortunate burghers
are thrifty people but have no money
and will have to be helped until they
get a footing. The syndicate in Mexico
will bring the people here from Africa,
let them have implements and live
stock, and give them credit at their
stores. The settlers will pay for the
land at the rate of $3.75 per acre per
year for number of years, less than
poor families of Ireland pay as rent,

as any in Ireland. Our land, 100 miles
