Papers Run at Loss.

Figures recently published show
that about so per cent of the news
papers in Rumania operate at a loss.
That print paper is dear. that the
prices of the publications have not
been sufficiently increased since the
World War and that advertisements
are scarce are leading arguments ad-
vanced as reason for this state of
anairS. But some trained observers
believe that the real reason Is that.
like the press Of other continents a 4
countries. that Of Rumania is too DO
litical and not suficiently Informative.
Every political party has its news
paper. but the circulation is neces-
sarily small because there are so many
parties. Those newspapers that have
set themselves to print news in the
real sense Of the word pay their WAY.
although they cannot afford to reward
their staffs with high or even living
wages.

The mystery of the green color of
the northern lights and the problem
Of the Hea aviside layer. believed to
make lonE-distance radio broadca sting
possible. may have bean solved as the
result Of a series Of researches just
completed by DR.. ]. G. McLennan. /.
professor OF physics Of the University
Of Toronto. and described by him to
the Royal Society Of London. From
this work 1t seems that the upper
atmosphere, at a height Of so miles
or more consists largely OF heIiun. the
gas used to float dirigibles. even
though at the earth's surface the air
contains only a minute fraction of a
per cent OF this useful gas.
Cathode Rays.
A number Of years ago the English
physicist. Sir William Crookes, pro-
duced what are called cathode rays
by passing a high voltage electric dis
charge through tube from which
the air had been exha usted. These are
now known to be rapidly moving cleo
irons. the minute electrical charges Of
which the atoms of matter consist
AS some of these phenomena appear
very much like the aurora bOreaIis,
it was suggested that cathode rays
were being emitted by the sun and
that when these encountered the
gases in the upper atmosphere Of the
earth. auroras were produced. In con-
f1rma ton of this theory, a Sea ndina-
vian scientist. Prof. kristian Birke-
land. placed a magnetized sphere. rep
resenting the earth, in vacuum. and
when he bomba rded it with cathode
rays artificial auroras appeared.
Rut while the aurora could he part
ly reproduced in the laboratory. there
was one effect that could not be dupli.

ried on.
He found that many of the colors
of the aurora were due to the action
of the cathode rays on nitrogen: and
finally. in the Spring of 1924, he
announced that he had obtained the
green line artifcially by freezing
nitrogen to solid. with A tempera.
ture Of 346 degrees below zero

action Of the rays.

Methodist Home sooa To Be
Opened.

A day of encouraging reports made
before the meeting of Baltimore Annual
Conference Of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South. in Washington last week,
ended with the report of the board Of
trustees of the Southern Methodist Home
being constructed at Gaithersbur6.
This home, which was started about
year ago. is finished. the board reported.
and is ready for the inspection Of visitors.
Starting two years ago. with nothing in
the way of assets. firm in the belief that
funds would be provided as needed. A
campaign for money to start the project
was carried on during the first year, and
sufficient was obtained to warrant the
start of operations.
A bold plan was conceived by the sup
porters Of the project whereby the GRIM
NEST tragedy Of dependent old age would
be eventually eliminated so far az aged
couples of the church were concerned. 1t
was proposed that in addition to the erec-
ton of main building with rooms for
individuals. little cottages should be built,
in which couples might keep house even
as they would in independent life. drawins
their supplies, however. from the commits
sary of the home.
With sufficient funds to start the project
in hand, work was started under the d.
rection of Rossel Edward Mitchell. WASH
ington architect. The main building and
two of the cottages were begun and now
stand finished.
Located in the center of a tract Of 100
acres. the main building contains 80 rooms.
with running water in each; the extensive
offices, the dining hall. living room and
other adjuncts Of the home.
The moving in of furniture will be un.
dertaken at once. and 1t is expected that
within the next so days the home will be
ready for the reception Of the first who
are to be admitted.
The two cottages that are completed are
of six rooms each, one being occupied BY
the superintendent of the home. Rev. J. J
Ringer.
The dairy farm formerly located on the
tract is to be re-established, and vege
table and fruit farm also will be started
In this connection 200 fruit trees will b,
planted this spring.
Work is shortly to be started on twt
more buildings, the hospital. which is 4
be built by the church at large. and the
Epworth League Building. funds for which
are now being raised by the members o
the various leagues in the conference.
The Epworth League Building will con
tain chapel and a hall. where variou
amusements. such as concerts and movin
pictures. may be provided. This buildin
is to be connected with the main buildin
by means Of elass-inclosed passageway.
With the actual opening Of the home
which is available to dependent old folk
and orphans. the speeding up Of the entir
project is expected. The total investmen
at present is well over 100000. and b!
far the greater part has been paid.
