| ItaIy.-The important announcement
arrives that Italy's foreign trade bal
ance for October was favorable by
81, 100000 Ira, the first favorable
months balance. 1 understand. since
! before the war.
Analysis, however, somewhat debates
jubilation. The improvement is due
in only minor degree to increase OF
exports, being chiefly due to falling
off Of import Of British coal, in conse-
quence of the British strike.
An amusing dispatch informs us
that, seeing that all opposition papers
have been physically expunged or
legally" suppressed, Mussolini sees
no further need for censorship Of the
Italian press.
Mussolini has given for publication
| to Jules Sauerwein of LIE Matin Of
Paris the following statement: Il con-

anti-French manifestations. Nothing
like them will ever happen again.

| If the duce is quite sincere and If
| (which some emphatically aver is not
the fact) he has the Fascists securely
in hand all should be well; it should
| be proper to consider the recent un-
pleasantnesses entirely liquidated.
Said Mussolini to the Italian Senate:
"The discovery Of short-wave direc-
tional wireless (by MarconD has solved
one of the fundamental problems of
| wireless. In America the honor of
| European aviation was saved by Ital-
ian machines and Italian courage.

mountains Of words" They are, and,

At a great review on Armistice day
Pilsudski received a popular ovation
of such sort as to convince the Diet
of the futility Of resistance. The old
marshal very we'll knows how to play
up the susceptibility of the people
to military glamour. At the review
he was mounted on the famous 25.

Brilliant Aurora Borealis Display
due to Spots Now Crossing Suns Face

The spots now passing across the
face Of the sun, four of which have
been visible to the unaided eye, were
responsible for brilliant displays Of
the aurora borealis, or Northern lights,
on the nights of October IA and Is,
in the opinion of DR.. Edwin 3. Frost,
director Of the Yerkes Observatory Of
the University Of Chicago. On the
14th, he says, there was a display Of
great variety, which reached fits
height between / and 2 am.
The spots causing the aurora were
part Of a large number which have
formed chain stretching completely
across the sun, and the Northern
lights occurred just after they had
been directly in the center Of the
suns disk as seen from the earth.
According to experiments conducted
by Norwegian scientists, the aurora Is
caused by rapidly moving particles Of
electricity, or electrons, which are
shot out from sun spots at speed
almost as fast as light itself. AS these
come out straight from the spots, it
is only when the spot is pointed
toward the earth, or in the center
Of the solar disk as we see it. that the
electrons come close enough to the
earth to cause such phenomena.
AS IneS0 rays are attracted Dy
magnet, the fact that the earth is
a great magnet draws them when they
get near the earth. In support Of
these ideas. experiments have been
made by which the same sort of rap
idly moving electrons have been OBJ
tanned by high-voltage electric cur
rents and aimed at a small magnetized
steel sphere, producing artificial au-
roras. The shapes Of these man-made
Northern lights" agree closely, not
only with the shapes computed math-
ematically in advance, but they also
are very similar to the actual aurora
borealis as revealed by photographs.
Though brilliant displays Of the au-
rora are infrequent. except in North
ern countries, the electrOns are being
given off from the sun to at least
moderate extent continually. BY an
alyzing the faint Light from the North
ern night sky, even on a dark night,
with spectroscope, q green line Is
revealed due to the aurora. This can
be observed when there is no trace
to the eye OF the Northern lights.
Though the origin Of this green line

The United States of America.-Few

Institute Of Technology in Pittsburgh.
Col. Carmi A. Thompson, after an
Investigation by the Presidents direc.

about four months, has arrived back
in this country. Publication of his
report will be awaited with very
great interest. 1 postpone notice of

Americans will be invited to COM

petition be imagined more thrilling?
!. Prof. Albert A. Nicholson of the
University Of Chicago announces as
the result Of his latest investigations
that the speed of light is less by 1875
miles per second than his previous
calculations had shown. The new
figure is 299, ,796 kilometers, or 186,173
miles per second. The refinement on
the old figure was made possible by
Improvement of the interferometer, an
instrument invented by Prof. Michel
son many years ago. The speed of
light is the same for all light wave
lengths.

Armed raids were made over the
last week end on a military camp
and on II civic guard barracks at
scattered points in the Free State.
AS the civic guards are not armed,
the element Of the heroic would seem
lacking to the attacks on them. In
the raid on the camp a sergeant and
private were killed. The business
is plausibly explained as a manifesto
tion by the extremist Republicans of
indignation because Of the wide OBJ
servance Of Armistice day in the Free
State and because the Free State s
delegates at the Imperial Conference
have hobnobbed pleasantly with the
British delegates instead of kicking
up shindy.
It will not help the Republican
cause. De Valera has been advocating
drastic reduction of the army and
police forces Of the Free State as
much too large for necessities. His
own mad following have been prompt
to falsify the claim.
George Bernard Shaw. with Gus
tomary perversity, acts precisely con
trariwise to the advice Of the Persian
poet. He takes the credit attaching
to the Nobel award, but let's the cash
go. It will be recalled that President
Roosevelt acted in a somewhat similar
manner on receiving the award in
1906. He took the $4,000, but turned
it over to a foundation for the promo
ton Of industrial peace. Says Mr.
Shaw: "Sweden's most valuable export
is her literature, of which we IN
Britain are deplorably ignorant. The
Swedish Minister in London has in
formed me of Swedish books Of great
value, which for lack Of means can
not be translated, and Of organs Of
intellectual intercourse between US
which are in need Of support. l
therefore venture to propose that the
money which accompanies the award
be funded by the Royal Academy or
by the Swedish Minister in London
and that the annual proceeds be used
to encourage intercourse and under
standing in literature and art between
Sweden and the British Isles"
The status Of Sir Hugh Denison,
