THE NORTHERN LIGHTS.
It's a Mistake, Says Scientist, to Say
They Emit Sounds.

It's Mistake, Says Scientist, to Say
They Emit Sounds.
German scientists are greatly inter-
phenomena revealed by the aurora
borealis, according to recent Norwe-
gian and German observers. People
living in the northern part of Norway
maintained that they often hear sounds
accompanying the northern lights.
These sounds are described by some
as similar to the cracking of flames.
Accordingly German and Norwegian
scientists started out to investigate
the phenomena. and one of them, Olav
Aabakken, has spent long time at
the Hallde observatory in Finmarken
Aabakken thinks that 1t Is very un-
likely that any sound is to be heard
from the northern lights. He main
tains that the human senses are not
to be relied on, especially regarding
the phenomena of sight
Aabakken says that the Idea of
sound connected with the northern
lights may result from the fact that
these lights look like flames, and as
people are accustomed to associate the
cracking sound with flames the rath-
er uncritical observer Of the blazing
movements of the aurora borealis is
apt to think that he really hears the
sound Of those fames.-New York

Eyades Fixing Blame.

Binghampton, N. Y. Oct IL
The cause has not been determin-
ed" is the opinion of Coroner
Ralph A. Seymour regarding the
Bingampton Clothing Company fire
which resulted in the loss of thirty
two lives on July II. The verdict
filed cred several facts, however,
which appear to the Coroner to be
unusual. The building was TWEEN
~ years old; the interior was of
soft wood; the material manufac-
tured therein was of highly infam-
mable composition; an old wooden
stairway was in use, and above the
first floor but one stairway commu-
nicated with the remainder of the
building The Coroner also sets
forth that the fire escapes were in
adequate, but does not attempt to
fix the cause of the fire.

Prehistoric Man In Relqium.

Prehistoric man has been traced In
several periods In Belgium, and Nj.
Putot, a Belgian geogogist, has made
a novel attempt to estimate the popu-
lation at different stages. In the lower
Aurignacian period five of Belgium's
numerous caves seem to have been In
habited, their capacity being fifty to
sixty persons In the Magdalenean
period the population was probably
sixty. Retreat Of the ice permitted
leaving the shelters at the close OF
this period, and the settlers on the
banks of the lakes may soon have
numbered 100 or $50, The coming of
the Ceryides forests perhaps developed
a population Of 1000, which may have
increased to 1000 or 5000 at the be-
ginning of the polished stone age

Inaugurates Shorter Week.

Seattle, Oct. 1.-THE Seattle
Construction and Dry Dock Com
pany, formerly Moran Ship Build
ing Company, has in ugurated the
fifty hour week. The non-union
mechanics of the company decided
that the nine-hour day was too
long and made a demand for the
fifty hour week. This demand
was granted at once and leaves only
two hours difference per week now
between this company and the un.
ion. The company is the second
largest Of its kind on the coast, and
it has recently secured some large
contracts from the Navy Depart
ment. The Federal law of 1912
provides that contracts on govern
ment vessels shall be dene on TIE
eight hour day, and therefore this
company is expected shortly still
further to redu its hours from
fifty to forty-eight per week.

local labor paper, the News, says
in a recent issne that the phenom
email success that has been attained
by the Bakery Workers Union,
not only in the entire country,
where the union is recorded as hav-
ing made great gains in both mem
bership and improved working con
ditions, but in New England as
we'll, in some cases wages having
been increased as much as 70 per
cent. The New England coudi-
tions are due in large meas re to
the activities of the Anti Bread
Trust Conference, which spends
its greatest efforts in fighting the
bread trust through the advocacy
of the union label. In all the
principal cities the conference has
secured splendid conditions for the
members of local unions Probab-
ly the greatest single gain secured
was by the Brocton, Mass. Union,
whose members secured an increase
of So week, and also a reduction
in hours. The Bakers have de-
veloped a continuous fighting spirit
and their trade union record dur
ing the past year is one that may
with profit be emulated.
