Its form is that of wineglass or
inverted cone. 1t was u feet high
and 81 feet III greatest diameter. He
estimated its weight at close to one

measured exactly 81 feet.
The nest was started in 1890. or

It's framework is a close mass OF
interlaced sticks, some of which are
from three to four feet long and from

Spring a fresh bed Of straw. corn
stalks and stubble is laid on top and
new sticks are incorporated with the

An observatory was built in a big

nest. and there the observers were

Spanking Machine Proved
Success

penitentiary problem has always
been how TO deal with the hard
boiled inmate. Punishment only
seems to make him more hard boiled
and in addition II he takes his bit
in the dark cell without whimpering
he is glorified in the eyes Of his
fellows as q hero.
A warden in the Colorado peniten-
tiary pondered long on the problem
and found a way out. Gradually it
became known that bad men became
good men after retiring to the insti-
tuition and the writer sought the
cause and found it. 1t was the
Warden's spanking machine, guaran-
tced to give results. Il was d simple
affair. the main feature Of Which was
q cylinder with long strips of sole
leather and an arrangement to which
the offender was attached in a pos
ture closely resembling the parenta !
knee, SO familiar when we recall the
woodshed seances of juvenile days.
The convict who refused to be good
was placed so the machine could do
the most good and n husky guard
reNolved the cylinder by means of n
crank, and instead of the rise and
ran OF the slipper there was steady
tall OF the strips of sole leather. but
with no dana Ge-unless it was men
tai.
For the whole scheme was psyche
logical. The bad man who became
worse If abused. or when caused to
suffer extreme punishment such as
prevailed in some penitentiaries not
so many years ago, wilted when
spanked. and as FOR being a hero In
the estimation of his fellows. he be-
came instead a subject Tor derision,
as one who had been spanked like
pad boy. Investigation proved that
II was never necessary 10 spank nlurs

Secret Of Aurora Rorsaljs

The puzzle OF one OF the spIendors
or northern regions, the SHIN
mering glow of the aurora borealis.
whic's has mystifled scientists for
many years has at last been solved.
= Norwegian scientist. Professor
Lars Negard Of the University OF
Christiania, recently declared that
nitrogen at an altitude Of about sixty
miles above the surface Of the eartl,
existed not as gas, but rs
sclidified particles Of nitrogen
"snow" He has now concluded that
the aurora is due to the action Of
electric radiations from the sun up
on these particles of nitrogen snow.
Not content with theory alone, he
visited tie crygenic labratory of
DR.. kamerlingh Oonnes at Leyden
and succeeded in producing syn
thetic aurora boreaGs. lie froze
nitrogen on copper plate by chill
ing the plate to the temperature Of
liquid hydrogen. This frozen nitro
sen was bon1barded Will, cathode
rays. and as a result they were made
to emit light of erccnish color
which. wien examined in the spect-
roscope, proved TO be Identical with
the mysterious strong green line in
the spectrum of the aurora. Pro-
fcssor Negar,l also found that the
crystalline nitrogen kept on emitting
this greenish light several minutes
after the bomhardment or cathode
rays mad ceased. He also explains
mat wonderful changes OF color in
the aurora. for he found that ur-ler
the electric cxcitation the solid
nitrogen partly cvaporates and then
begins to emit light OF the reddish
