Aurora Borealjs,

Many people believe that the aurora
borealis is phenomenon peculiar to
modern times. But this Is not true.
The ancients used to call 1t chasmata,
bolides and trabes, names which ex-
pressed the different colors of the
lights. The scarlet aurora was looked
on by the superstitious barbarians
as an omen of direful slaughter; so 1t
is not unsual for descriptions OF
bloody battles to contain illusions to
northern lights. In the annals OF
Cloon-mac-noise 1t is recorded that in
6SS A. d., accompanying terrible bat
tie between Leinster and Munster, Ire
land, a purple aurora lit the northern
skies, forete ling the slaughter.

Community pride is an asset, and 1t

cleans up the alleys, paints the houses,
cuts the grass, rakes the lawns and

itself a name among the peoples OF
the outer world.
Commercial travellers and others
come, and look, and go away and talk
and the talk is all in favor Of the
town and its people.
Talk travels. and grows, and null
tiplies until the town becomes known
in many climes for it's cleanliness and
progressiveness.
In time other men who are looking
for a change of location hear of this
town-and then they go, and look, and
talk, and are pleased, and 1t becomes
their home.
And the town continues to expand

TOWN PLANNING IN AUSTRALIA
Antipodeans Show Wise Interest In
Subject and Profit by Experience
Of Older Countries.

Australians are showing wise in
terest in the subject of town planning
and housing in general. The trouble
with older countries has been that
they have not begun to think much
about improving housing conditions
until housing conditions have got to
be insufferably bad. Australia, being
young country, should be able to
profit by the unfortunate example of
other countries, and 1t is apparent that
Australia is striving to do this.

devotes much space to this subject. AL.

SELFISHNESS TO BE CHECKED

evitable that something should snap,
and something has snapped; there is
temporary reassertion of primitive
human impulses. In America, reac-

Professor James was dreadfully bored
by visit to Chautauqua, with ice

Whoever devised the Mutual Ton

policies in and about Ruddendale. AT
the end of thirty years most of the
investors in the scheme were plant

and finally there were only two sur
vivors-Adam Warner and Ezra Moss.
Here was the scheme: One hun

members of the syndicate, as it might
be called when fifty had died, were to
receive six per cent on their invest

heirs of the final survivor were to re-
ceive the amount in the pool at his
demise.
All this figured out liberal COM

for the bank where the funds were de-

members of the original group were

the amount the final survivor would
receive would be approximately sixty
five thousand dollars.
But Adam Warner and Ezra Moss
seemed to have no disposition to die.
1t was true that both were now over
eighty and were not able to 60 about

Cyril Warner, in the navy. All the
rest of his relatives had died off. The
heir or rather heiresses of Ezra

to receive the opulent fund at stake.

sewing and Marcia taught school. The
returns barely kept the household
