PAPER WITH A WAITING LIST
II fs for the Blind and the More
1t C~IrcuIates the More 1T
Loses,

OF the 10000 sightless persons in
America about $4,000 are able to read
blind printing. The fact that they are
blind lessons in most instances their
earning capacity, and as the
making OF reading matter for them is n
costly operation 1t is practically impossi-
BILE without aid from wealthy people to
supply them with literature.
The Oldest newspaper for the blind is
published at College View, Neb. 1t is
called the Christian Record and was
founded at Battle Creek, Mich, in 1900
by A. o. Wilson and his wife, who are
both blind.
Wilson did the editing, his wife the
printing and binding. Wilson has since
engaged In other business, but his wife
Is still the composing room force. Four
years ago the plant was moved to Ne
braska-
1t began with a circulation of 100
copies. Today 1000 copies are printed
each month, and there are 5000 names
on the waiting list. These persons would
like to subscribe and are willing to pay
the subscription price, but the publisher
Is in the position of losing more money
the more subscribers he gets.
One sheet Of paper can carry but one
page Of reading matter, since the mat
ter printed is read from the opposite
side from that Upon which the printing
is done. When the magazine or book is
bound 1t must be padded at the back to
allow for the raised or embossed print
ing.
Blind printing has been in the process
of evolution since 1884, but only within
the last ten years has invention made 1t
possible to place the results, either in

BILE by the fact that Mrs. Zelgler pays
the excess of cost above the selling price,
about $780, 900 a year.
In most establishments the work is
done by blind people. The editor writes
his copy with a little machine built on

heat lightning and the aurora. The aurora
is always seen by us in the north, and is
therefore called the Aurora Borealis, or
Northern Lights. There is, of course, a
similar display in the southern hemisphere.
The clouds charged with positive cleo.
tricity drift very often from the warmer
regions OF the earth to the frigid zones
and when there is an unusually heavy
reunion Of their positive electricity with
that Of the ground we see an aurora. 1t
is exactly the same principle. only on a
much grander scale. as what we see in
a Geissler tube. Such a tube contains a
raTified gas and when It Is connected
to an electric machine that generates d
high-potential current the tube IS bril-
liantly lighted with the color appropriate
to the gas. The aurora is best seen IN
higher attitudes, and is quite a common
phenomenon In the arctic regions, where
1t furnishes a very welcome light during
the long night Of six months. Some Of the
recorded appearances lave been extremely
beautiful, as the various drawings shown
in works on that subject lead us 70 infer.
Sometimes there are so many and such
bright streamers that the aurora looks
like a huge fan. which then quite noticeably
turns about its center like the spokes of
a gigantic wheel. The aurora is very sell
dom seen as far south as Omaha, although
/ have seen a splendid one in Kansas.
The appearance on last Monday night was
very exceptional, although OF course II
could not compare with appearances seen
farther north.
Auroras cannot be predicted. We know
that very often when a large spot breaks
out on the sun that there is a magnetic
storm on earth and a display Of the aurora.
We know also that auroras are more fire.
quent when the sun Is more spotted. and
that they run through the same 1l-year
cycle as the sun spots. and that therefore
there must be a casual connection between
auroras. magnetic storms and sunspots
But we cannot as yet predict any OF them.
There is absolutely no hanger whatever
in an aurora, nothing to the unprofessiona
observer but a beautiful sight well worth
the sacrifice of an hours sleep. To see
Il well. however, We ought TO get away
from the glare OF city lights and have an
extensive view of the northern horizon.
Auroras are no sign Of rain. They prob.
ably take place very frequently. but clouds
and daylight prevent our enjoying all Of
them. WILLIAM +. RIGoE. 8 J..

and silent reunion in the shape of
its detached, pieces appearing like floating
clouds. They slowly drifred higher in. the
sky, until they seemed to form parts OF a
broken arch which extended from the west
to the east horizon. While these detached
portions floated way, there seemed to be
no steamers, as II streamer and broken
arches could not exist together, but of
this the writer is not certain. He himself
observed the aurora for an hour, until its
gradual return to its first appearance; the
dying out of the beams and the drifting of
the luminous remnants of the arches gave
him the idea that the display was nearing
its end. But a friend of his kept up the
watch for a second hour, and reported
that the various. stages described above
repeated themselves after various intervals,
and that some OF the luminous clouds
drifted as high as the zenith. How long
the display lasted Is not known, but the
next morning at 5 o'clock the sky was com
pletely vacant and there was no sign Of
the aurora.
On the following night. Tuesday, there
was another display Of the aurora. 1t was
noticed as early as 7:15 p. m, about an
hour after sunset. The air was not as
transparent as on the preceding night, be-
cause the VIM had been from the south
all day. The arch was about the same,
except that it had shifted bodily twenty
degrees TO the right. There were a few
streamers Of various lengths. but they died
out quickly. Clouds began to form, and
by $3.50 the whole sky was overcast. The
aurora could, however, be seen to some
extent through the clouds. and appeared
like the lights Of a distant city reflected
from the clouds. 1t was still visible after
10 p. m. But there was no sign OF It the
next morning, although the sky was per
fectly clear.
What is the nature of the aurora? 1t II

A Bright Auroral Display

The finest display Of the Aurora Bore
alis, or the Northern Lights seen by the
writer, in Omaha, during the last twelve
years. took place last Monday night, Sep
TENDER 2S. The sky at the time was calm,
eloudless and most transparent. The au-
rora was first noticed rather suddenly at
$50 p. m. It then appeared as an arch ex-
tending from the northwest to the north.
east horizon, and was about eight de-
grees high on the meridian. Below the
arch was a well defined black space OF
uniform tint, which might easily have
been taken for a bank Of clouds. The arch
itself, was of a beautiful. soft silvery
whitencss and seemed to be about five de-
grees in width, Its upper limit was not
quite as distinct as its lower one. Al this
time there were no streamers Of any kind,
nothing but the arch. There was no moon
to interfere with the display as il was
seen from the observatory. And the city
lights also were sufficiently far away not
to blind the eyes Of the observer.
At a few minutes after 10 o'clock, the
scene changed. A few detached streamers
now began to make their appearance, like
the softened beams Of search lights be-
low the horizon. They were of various
widths and leagths, A lane passed visibly
through both the dark and brlgh portions
of the aurora. The short ones seemed

beams did not seem to have any percepti-
BILE lateral motion, but they were all d.
rected to the same vanishing point. which
was estimated to be about so degrees be.
low the horizon and on the me
ridian. The largest and broadcast streameI
was In the northwest at the yers
end Of the arch. 1t was about 4 de,
grees broad, that is, as broad as eight
full moons in a row, and about 20 de
grees long. and of a decided blood-ret
tint. A few OF the other beams ais,
showed the same tint, but the most O
them were OF a faint silvery Wilderness
They lasted from a few minutes TO sew
