According to theory enunciated by
Professor Lenard, the aurora borealis
Is formed of cathode rays, emitted by
the sun and detected by the terrestrial
magnetic field In the upper strata or
the atmosphere. The velocity or these
cathode rays must be nearly equal to
that of light and very much greater
than the velocity of cathode rays pro-
duced in the laboratory. Lenard con-
cludes that these extremely "hard'
cathode rays are emitted by unknown
radioactive substances in the sun.

the most marked effects he has noticed
In men who have spent most OF their
life in mining is II sense OF danger TINT

this a few years ago.
II was walking along a main DRIFT
with 4 mine captain, man who had
been working In mines for over forty
years, having started as Il lad in the
mines of Cornwall. Suddenly he
stopped and exclaimed that something
was wrong,
''For the life of me / could not see

solid, ana the drive pillars looked Sc

MADE HIMSELF BLUSH.
Trick by Which an Actor Achieved a
Realistic Stage Effect.


Realistic Stage Effect.
Daniel Frohman in his Memories
OF Manager tells Of muscular
trick by which Mr.. r. Il. Mackay
achieved an astonishing stage effect.
It was in Bronson Towards zone Of
Our Girls Mr.. Mackay was playing
the part Of a French count. who, IN
zone Of the chief situations OF the play.
Is slapped In the face with q glove
by an English officer. Mr. Howard's
idea was that the count should become
violent and furious at the atfronL put
Mr. Mackay contended that as he had
been shown in the play to be an expert
duelist and accustomed to danger he
was not likely to lose control OF him.
self
Mr.. Howard saw the point The re-
suit was that the Frenchman received
| the insult without the movement OF
muscle. He stood rigid. Only fash
of the eye for an instant revealed MS
emotion. Then the audience saw his
| face grow red and then pale. This
was followed by the quiet announce
ment from the count that he would
send his seconds to the Englishman.
| This exhibition Of facial emotion be-
trayed by the visible rnsh OF blood TO
the actors face was frequently noted
| at the time. It was muscular trick.
Mr.. Mackay put on a tight collar FOR
that scene and strained his neck
against it until the blood came, and
when he released the pressure and the
blood receded the effect was reached.

COTTON HARVEST.

The cotton harvest is getting un-
der way in Imperial valley. In sew
eral volunteered fields pickers are
busy. Laborers, white, black, Hin
dus, are gathering for the work of
picking, and within a few days it will
once more be a common sight to see
wagons loaded with field cotton driv-
ing in, while the baled cotton will
be on display about the gin.
1t is the third year in which cot
ton has been grown commercially in
Imperial valley, and it is the most
satisfactory outlook thus far, the
yield being better and far more uni
formly good than in the previous
years.
That the yield will be nearly $4,000
bales and represent values of approx
imately three-quarters OF a million
dollars is believed, while this money
will be distributed between compare

FLIES By THE BUSHEL.

H. H. Morrill, of Phoenix is the
inventor of a fly trap which has ap-
parent merit The device is an i'm
provement OF .:c Old-fashioned conf
cal fly trap that most people have
seen some time in their life in one
place or another. The difference is
that Mr.. Morrills trap stands up
from the floor a few inches, the en-
trance to it is through the bottom in
stead of around the margin of the
base, and there is a place provided
in the center of the cone which sticks
up from the bottom, for batting the
flies.
The big feature of this trap is that
it is made to catch flies by the whole
sale. Instead of being a little device
to stand on a window sill it is two or
three feet tall and eighteen inches in
diameter and will hold nearly bush
ell of flies. It's proper place is on
the sidewalk or in the alleys or
wherever flies are numerous enough
to warrant a sure enough campaign
against them. The trap is made Of
wire screen and lumber and the bait
consists of a little sugar and water
and vinegar dissolved and set under
the trap.

slow life; matrimonial life, which is
suspended animation, and the Reno
electric life, a spicy variety composed
of alternating currents of the mar

The butterfly life is the gay one,
but it is too short; the tortoise life is
longer, but it is too slow, and if you
try to strike safe and sane gait in
the middle of the road, you get run
over by some joy rider going the pace
that kills-such as you.
Life is the most necessary thing in
the wcrld-you simply cannot live
without it. 1t is as uncertain and diff
ficult to control as dynamite or wo-
man. Too much life will land you in
jail, and too little in a coffin.
If you are lacking in life you are
termed a dead one;" if endowed
with real life and ginger, you are
dubbed "too fresh"
Verify, life is a picture puzzle, and
there are always too many pieces or
