ARTIFICIAL AURORA
 FOR SKY IN SOUTH
Gigantic Electrical Machine
 Bdne Built

New York, Feb. 2b. M-A huge protector for producing an artificial aurora borealis Of colossal size is being built in Brooklyn.
 Designed as an illumination fea- ture of the shriners' convention in Miami. Fla, May l to 3. the appara- tus consists of a S2-inch high in- tensity searcAlisht that casts c light beam of 1,4O0.o0o.o .o00 candle power. This ray is broken into seven individual bean,s by prisms that f, the aurora fan. The flicker and drift of the famoua northern lights is simulated by tllting the prisms, which are con- trolled by g motor, Color effects are obtained by passing the rays through lenses of various hues.
 The entire aurora is slowly ro- tated so that the observer sees a fan Of light that opens and closes. Preliminary measurements show that the beams penetrate beyond 'he earth's atmospheric strata and are visible at great distances,
 
 Many scientists now believe that natures spectacular phenomenon. the aurora herealis, is caused by material elected by the sun during the severe solar starms. Some of the cast off particles ultimately roach the earth'a upper atmosphere where, at a height of from Co to 100 miles. they glow as an electrical discharge, e4.-,.
 The equipment for reproducing the northern lights on southern skies will weigh about five tons. The great intensity of its beam is obtained by squeezing 24 horse power of energy into g tiny cup of carbon, which then gives off a dazzling vapar having tempera- ture of 5000 degrees Fahrenheit.
 Behind the intense spot of light is five-foot mirrar, ground to op- tical accuracy, which amplifies the brilliance of the small source of illumination into the great beam that is cast upon the sky.

KING GEORGE lS
 PROUD Of STAMP
Has S15,@ Label in His
 Collection

London. Feb. 25. RIThe little mountainous island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean has given indirect ly to King George of England one of the thrills that come once in a i lifetime"
 For the little island has given philatelists the most valuable post age stamps in existence. The king. who collects stamps as q hobby. has one of them. 1t is valued at s15.000.
 England's ruler has one of the choicest stamp collections in exist ence, but the pride of his collection is the Mauritius stamp, which is rot for sale.
 His collection Is kept in Bucking- ham Palace and the King is fond of spending an hour or so when he has the time, in pasting his new est specimens in his books and recording each one in his catalogue. l Only a thousand copies of the Mauritiss stamp were issued. Other high-priced stamps. some of which are in the kings collection, are the one-cent stamp Of the 1856 issue of British Guiana and the Italian l5- centesimi stamp of 1865 converted by an overprint into 20 centesimi. of each of which there is only one known copy: the Cape of Good Hope triangular stamp, printed by mistake on paper intended for stamps of other British colonies, of which there are four copies; and the two-cent stamp of the earliest issue of British Guiana, ten copies. of which are in existence.
 Although King Georges collec- ton ranks high, the British Museum possesses the most valuable col lection in England and the second most valuable in the world. This acquisition came from the late IT. K. Tapling, member of parliament and cost him $l.25o,000.
 King George frequently carries On international diplomatic rela- tions in stamps. as it were. He ex- changes stamps with the queen Of the Belgians and the queen of Italy. both whom are enthusiastic collec- tors. The kings collection was be-. gun in his youth. and some of the most valuable specimens were pur- chased with his pocket money.
