came out tugging away at the heavy
trunk which was precpitated to the

Cause of Borealis.

Some very interesting recent re-
searches by Stormer and Kirkeland on
the Aurora Borealis render it probable
that this phenomenon is due to cor
puscular radiation proceeding from
the sun to the earth. These corpuscles
are doubtless electrons which are
known to have great penetrative pow
er. It Is interesting to notice that
these observations furnish q means to
evaluate the actual degree to which
the space in the solar system is a
vacuum. 1t may be expressed by say
iISxnst It Is as much rarer than the
most rarified vacuum yet produced eX-
perimentally as this latter is rarer
than the ordinary atmosphere. The
density of this interstellar vacuum va
ries within the limits of the solar sys.
tenn with its distance from the sun.
