Nightly Appearance Over Chesa-

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, August "A mys-
terious orange-colored light, hanging
low in the heavens, is puzzling resi-
dents of the Chesapeake shores in
Maryland. For two weeks now this
light has appeared nightly in the
sky shortly after dark, and has re-
mained in almost the same position
until dawn.
Thousands of persons crowd the
piers and watch the phenomenon.
Powerful glasses, trained on it, bring
1t nearer and clearer, but do not
solve it's mystery. Slowly it fades
away, and after few minutes grad
ually regains its brightness. 1t hangs
over what would be Pooles Island.
and never rises high into the heavens.
It was at first believed to be an OBJ
servation balloon from Edgewood
arsenal or Aberdeen, but due to it's
distance below these points this
thought has been abandoned. Inquiry
at the physics department Of Johns
Hopkins University failed to clear
the mystery.

President Of International Reform

Commendation of the efforts made
by Canon Chase of Brooklyn, N. Y,
to have Luis Angel Firpo, Argentine
prize fighter, deported from the
United States was voiced yesterday
in a statement issued by Rev. DR..
Robert Watson, president Of the In
ternational Reform Bureau.
DR.. Watson declared ''it would be
a great gain to our country, both
financially and morally, ii all prize
fighters were deported with their
promoters, managers, ct al"
The statement continued.
I'VE believe in boxing and recog-
nize there Is no better sport, but we
know of nothing more brutal and de-
moralizing than prize fighting. It
rouses all that is evil in all who have
anything to do with it. It brings
together the dregs OF society from
everywhere bent on profit and pleas
ure, irrespective of the cost, material
and moral. to others. No one thing
has fostered the present craze for
gambling and general Iawlessness
more than the prize fight"

"Death Ray. Not. New.

Who invented the so-called death
ray" and whether or not it is as de-
structive as the first stories indi-
Gated, are the latest subjects under
discussion. America has not officially
claimed this radio invention, and yet
in 1898 D. McFarlan Moore, an Amer
lean. by means of electro magnetic
waves blew up miniature battleship
at Madison Square Garden, New York
City, every night for month.
This would seem to inject an Amer
ican into the discussion. Mr.. Moore Is
not known to have applied for a pat
ent nor to have claimed he invented
this destructive ray; nevertheless, the
basic principles of his achievement,
twenty-six years ago, seem to have
