There Is something about mines that

Mining and Scientific Press. One OF
the most marked effects lie has noticed
In men who have spent most of their
life in mining is sense of danger that

Il was walking along a main drift

was wrong.
"For the life Of me l could not SEE

The Aurora Rorsalis.

According to theory enunciated by
Professor Ienard. the aurora borealis
Is formed Of cathode rays. emitted by
the sun and detected by the terrestrial
magnetic field in the upper strata OF
the atmosphere The velocity Of 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.

Trick by Which an Actor Achieved .
Realistic Stage Effect.
Daniel FrOhman in his ''MemOries
Of q Manager" tells of muscular
trick by which Mr.. F. r. Mackay
achieved an astonishing stage effect.
1t was in Bronson Howard's Zone OF
Our Girls" Mr.. Mackay was playing
the part of French count. who. In
one Of the chief situations of the play.
IS slapped in the face with glove
by an English officer. Mr.. Howard's
idea was that the count should become
violent and furious at the anront. but
Mr. Mackay contended that as he had
been shown in the play to be IN 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 q
muscle. He stood rigid. Only fash
Of the eye for an instant revealed his
emotion. Then the audience saw his
face grow red and then pale. This
was followed by the quiet announce
ment from the count that be would
send his seconds to the Englishman.
This exhibition Of facial emotion be-
trayed by the visible rush Of blood to
the actors face was frequently noted
at the time 1t was muscular trick.
Mr.. Mackay put on tight collar for
that scene aud strained bis neck
against it until the blood came. and
when he released the pressure and the
blood receded the effect was reached.

Burglars Entered the Price Drug

Evans and Harry Moody made a

about the time the clock struck. They
were called to Beacon by the sup.
posed burglarizing of the Price Drug
Store which is now closed pending
settlement of the J. j. Price estate in
the district court. The officers made
a flying trip In Sheriff Reeds auto
mobile but when they arrived the
supposed burglars had evapOrated.
An investigation revealed the fact
that there had been visitors in the
store and indications pointed toward
their hurried departure. It was
thought at first that some of the boys
of Beacon had forced an entrance but
the marks left by the marauders were
plainly those of men experienced in
the business OF forcing doors.
Entrance to the building had been
effected by breaking In rear window
of the building and this was also the
means of entrance to the offices. The
officers made hurried search about
the town OF Beacon near the depot
and in the railway yards and one lone
tramp was arrested. He was able to
give good bill oil particulars, and
was released this morning. The Of

between Voliva and his opponents

purchasing the Zion City estate. The
independents, anticipating his demon
strative display of strength, painted
banners, which they displayed. and it
was the presence of these banners
which caused Voliva's followers to
break from line and seek to destroy
them, resulting in many free-for-all
