WASHINGTON, March s. - An Aurora BorealiS was visible last night for three hours over the northern half of the United States from Seattle to New York City. Shooting lights, spirited ct times were seen. rIom the capital here the lights were most brilliant. Thousands assembled on the streets to see what at first was thought was some great fire raging to the northward.
 The lights were plainly seen from Seward. Mammoth searchlights seem ed to play across the sky at times, then suddenly the white glow would change into brilliant rainbow hneS. Just before the lights disappeared they were in half seni-circle, ever changing in color

PRACTICAL TRAINING.

Tact, kindness and encouragement
will work wonders in any household.
Hence the mother who aspires ia
such favorable results should prac.
tice these golden virtues. She must
become interested in her children's
school work, encourage them to make
a good showing in their studies and
see to it that they have a full meas
ure of play; but she should not neg
lect the practical side Of their train
ing. -...-. ...
If she is anxious to have them
learn business methods, as well as
to realize that there is a dignity at
tached to all honest labor, she will
single out certain small daily tasks
for them to perform.
She should take the time to per-
sonally instruct her little ones in
these duties and then she might 90
a step further and make the work
keenly interesting and of value by
setting a certain price on every chore
well done.

SUN MAKES ALKALl IN WATER
Series Of Experiments by Scientists
Produces Interesting
Information.

That many marine plants cause
sea water to become more alkaline
when exposed to sunlight is def
nitely proved through interesting ex-
periments devised by W. J. V. Oster-
hout and A. R. G. Haas of the labo-
ratory of plant physiology, Harvard
university, and described by them in
Science.
These gentlemen have found a
way to measure accurately the in
creased alkslinity. Without going
into details, it may be said that this
consists in imrhersing a green sea-
weed in a glass tube of salt water
to which a few drops of phenophtha-
lein has been added. After expos
ure to sunlight, the water turns pink
and the degree of pinkness, meas
ured by matching against the colors
of a series of tubes containing the
same concentration of indicator in a
series of "buffer solutions of known
alkalinity, gives the quantity of al
kali produced by the action of the
sunlight.

WHY FISHING IS GOOD FUN
Wonderful Lake Fish That, However,
Are Only Trouble
Makers.

Bruce Barton says in the Ameri-
can Magazine, quoting first from
Isaak Walton:
"I have found it to be a real
truth that the very sitting by the
rivers side is not only the quietest
and fittest place for contemplation,
but will invite an angler to it, and
this seems to be maintained by the
learned Peter du Moulin, who, in
his discourse on the fulfilling of
prophecies, observes that when God
intended to reveal any future events
OF high notions to his prophets he
then carried them either to the des-
erts or the seashore, that having so
separated them from amidst the
press of people and business, and the
cares of the world, he might settle
their mind in a quiet repose, and
there make them fit for revelation
'"There is wonderful fishing in
our lake in Foxboro. | have enjoyed
it in peace and thankfulness by the
hour. It would be Aawless but for
one thing-I mean the fish. When
one is immersed in the spiritual en-
terprise of fishing, l know of moth

fish attack the line and demand
attention. / do not know how fish
get into our lake. We never put any

Food Administration Announces
Plans for Supplying Sugar
for Canning Purposes.

Sugar for all requirements for can
ming purposes will be furnished to-
consumers under the direction of the
food administration it was announc-
ed this week, under a. modified GER
;tificate system, that permits the deal
er to sell sugar in reasonable amounts
upon securing a signed statement
that that sugar will be used for can
ming and preserving only and that
any surplus acquired that is not used
for that purpose will be turned back
at the close Of the canning season.
Certificates that will permit the
sale of sugar under this system will
be furnished to the retailers Of Du-
luth within the next 10 days and, it
is hoped, will supply an adequate
amount of sugar for extensive demand
for home canning purposes, and at
the same time hold the use of sugar
down to a point that will prevent
complete exhaustion of the supply
during the heavy consumption dur
ing the summer months.
The rules governing the use of su-
gar for regular purposes } are not
changed in any respect-and limit
the per capita consumption Of sugar
to 3 pounds per month, and purchases
to pounds in the cities and villages
and 10 pounds in the country.
