SUN EXPLOSION WAS

Philadelphia, April The earth
was passing thru the outer confines

the universal force of radiOcation

Only in Range About a Month
only within about a month OF the

earth in orbtal position to be thus
successfully bOrmbarded. The moving
electric hydrogen is, of course. an
electric current and is therefore car.
ried toward the poles by the earth s

coors of the aurora are due to the
changing electric cXcitation of the by.

of Vegard, the Swedish physicist
which has explained the wonderful
curtained auroras as due to hydrogen
particles, of positive electric charge
is now shown to be unquestionably
true, in that it is but a logical result
of the explosive eruption of the cleo
trio hydrogen from the sun.
The well-known delay. or lag n
time, between the solar eruption and
the appearance of the magnetic storm
and accompanying aurora. on the
earth of about As hours, is due to the
time taken for the hydrogen atoms to
travel from the sun to the earth
The rate of travel is about $40 miles
per second. or somewhat in excess OF
the rate of the upward movement OF
the gass in some of tn great solar
prCminences.
THE numerous and complex details
OF the auroral phenomena are found
thus to receive, for the first time
reasonable explanation Additional
confirmation of this explanation is
given by the fact that our discoveries
also prove that all the elementa
