The backyard poultry keeper can hardly hope for success with turkeys, geese, ducks, or guineas, but for those who have lofts over a garage, stable, or coal shed. the opportunity for Sq1ab growing is well worth consider ing.
 For food purposes pigeons are us- ually chased with poultry. Cou1t1r- ally they are in a class by themselves. producing meat only, producing it very quickly, and able to produce well under conditions that do not ad- init of growing any other creature used for food

NORTHERN LIGHT IS EXPLAINED
 BY PROFESSOR

Philadelphia, April 1.---The earth was passing through the outer con fines of the corona or exterior enveI- ope of the sun on the night of March 22 when the inhabitants of the north ern portion of the United States wit messed the great aurora in the skies, says Professor Monroe B. Snyder, Di- rector of the Philadelphia Observa- tory.
 The astronomer declared in a state ment to the Associated Press that the universal force of radioaction'' on the sun hurled the final atoms of an explosion, namely, electrified hydrogen and probably heIium, straight to earth"
 Professor Synder's observation fol- lows:
 '"The recent aurora is a fine indica- ton of the explosive atomic disinte- grafton which takes place at the sur | face of the sun and Is responsible | for it's pronlinences, spots, and coro- na- Our discovery of the magnitude and precise atomic order of the ex- plosion of the chemical elements in | the sun, and in the stars generally, 1 lea ds to conceptions of the aurora \ and the accompanying magnetic and l electric storms, which are beyond any l doubt as to their validity.
 During the hours of Monday night last, the earth was, in a very true sense, and to the delight of us all passing through the outer confines oi l the solar corona. The same universal 1 force of radioaction which disinte- | grates the atoms in stupendous local i ized Krakatoas, or Mont PeIees, or | the sun, and produces the hydrogen | of the coronal streamers, then also | hurled the final atoms of that ex- plosion, namely, electrified hydrogen
 and probably heliun, straight to the | earth.
 'sOnfy within about a month of the equinox, or atumnal, is the earth 1T an orbitaI position to be thus success | fully bombarded. The moving cleo l tric hydrogen is, of course, an cleo | toward the poles of the earth ana | round them by the eartIs magnetiI i forces. The fascinating colors of the 1 aurora are due to the changing cleo
 tric excitation of the hydrogen ana
 other gases. The theory: of Vegard the Swedish physicist, which has ex. plained the wonderful curtained aR
 roras as due to hydrogen particles
 of positive electric charge, is nov
 shown to be unquestionably true, il
 that it is but a logical result of tn.
 explosive eruption of the electric hy
 drogen from the sun.
 The weI1-known delay, or lag fl
 time, between the solar eruption an( the appearance of the magnetic storn
 and companying aurora, on tn. earth, of about 45 hours, is due t
 the time taken for the hydrogen atoms to travel from the sun to tn
 earth The rate of travel is about 57I miles per second, or somewhat il
 excess of the rate of the upwart
 movement of the gases in some of tn
 great solar prominences.
 'sThe numerous and complete de
 tails of the auroraI phenomena ar | found thus to receive, for the frs
 time, reasonable explanation. Addi tional confir1na tion of this explana tion is given by the fact that our dis coverieS also prove that all the ele
 mental atoms so wonderfully explo
 sive in the stars, are structural pro ducts of hydrogen"
