SUNSPOTS CAUSE
BOREALI& PRANKS
Scientist Sees Connection in
Magnetic Phenomena.
London.—Connection between the
jpots on the sun and the displays of
the aurora boroulls and similar mag-
netic phenomena of the lust few days,
was seen by Dr. A. C. Crommelln of
the ltoyul observatory, Greenwich.
He told how It.may be possible that
great streams of electrons thrown off
by the sunspots, which he described
as tremendous whirlpools of gus on
the sun, may t.avel through the ether
until they come wlthiu the magnetic
Influence of the earth.
Concentration of these electronic
streamB toward the North and South
poles, he said, may give rise to the
activity of the aurora and Its accom-
panying phenomena.
"The sun is more active now than
It has been alnce 1922," Doctor Crom-
melln Bald. "Its activity usually
reaches Its maximum In about four
and a half years after Its minimum
activity.
"Sunsp^ts are vast whirlpools of
gas on the surface of the sun. some
of them 50,000 miles across.
"Magnetic disturbances on the
earth now are generally thought to
be produced by streams of electrons
projected from the surface of the sun,
when It is especially active.
"The sunspots may well be the
origin of these streams of elebtrlc
particles which cross 90,000,000 miles
of ether between the sun and earth
and create magnetic storms on the
earth, generally producing at the
same time the phenomenon of the
aurora borealls.
"These. particles are attracted to
the magnetic centers at the earth's
tyorth and South poles.
"They create, among other things,
disturbances on the telegraph wires
and cables by producing Induced cur-
rents which confuse ordinary mes-
sages.
"At the same time that sunspots oc-
cur, flames of gas extending some-
times to a height of over 200,000 miles
may be observed to erupt from the
sun's surfuce."

Monks 8,000 Feet Up
Live to Ripe Old Age
Great St. Bernard, French Alps.—
Living 8,000 feet above the seu level,
the monks here reach the normal spun
of years of their countrymen in the
plains, but their dogs, celebrated far
their numerous rescues of snowbound
Alpine climbers, very .seldom pass the
age of eight.
Tills was the Information glv^n by
the prior to a French journalist whc
Investigated the truth of a statement
that the monks never lived beyond
thirty and the dogs five.
"I have been at the abbey for more
than 30 years," said the prior, a
patriarch with a long white flowing
beard, "and you may be sure I did
not enter It as a nursing baby."
Those whose hearts were sound ran
no risk, he added, but the dogs were
less fortunate.
"The poor animals suffer terribly
from the snow, which little by little
makes them blind. There are only nine
at present Euch has a fine kennel,
with good straw and excellent food.
They are kept In the darkness of the
cellars so that their eyes may have
some relief. But the snow blindness
gets them all."
Austrians Use Sirens
to Filibuster in Diet
London.—Members of the opposi-
tion In Parliament are envying the
Ingenuity of the Social Democratic
members of the Styrlan diet, in Aus-
tria, who have evolved a method of
filibustering far surpassing the old-
fashioned device of delivering long-
winded orations. Determined to frus-
trate the election of Dr. Antou Rln-
telen as governor of the province, the
Social Democrats appeared In parlia-
ment armed with storage batteries
and phonographs.
They connected the batteries with
sirens, whistles, trumpets and other
wind Instruments and turned on the
current. This crumped the parlia-
ment's style. Then they set phono-
graphs. going, playing different tunes
at the same time, whereupon all legis-
lative business was hfilted. ThefflJ
cbncerts were kept up for more than
a week, keeping a regular schedule
from .11 in the morulug to.8 In the
evening, with short intervals for
meals.

grown bruin napping In the roadway.
Cockfighting Is Being
(,' Revived in England
Derby, England.—Cockllghting
is being slowly revived In Eng-
land, notwithstanding the law
against lt. During the present
week a flght was secretly staged
In one the Derbyshire hills. A
large croWd witnessed seven bat-
tles In which five birds were
killed and two maimed. The
sweepstakes totaled $2,000 and
there was considerable betting.
"Cocker" societies are said to
exist In almost every county In
England and fights. are staged
without Interference by the po-
lice.
Washington. — Carlsbad caverns,
New Mexico, one of Uncle Sam's of-
ficial scenic wonders for the past three
years, has gained such popularity
since Its setting aside as a national
monument In October, 1028, and Its
extensive exploration by the National
Geographic society, that It now draws
more visitors than some of the great
American caves known for many dec-
ades. Highways leading to the na-
tional monument have been Improved,
and during the month of August this
year 3,248 persons visited the caves,
according to Information reaching the
National Geographic society's head-
quarters fiere.
An Underpround Fairyland.
A communication to the Boclety from
the late Dr. Willis T. Lee, who con-
ducted Its explorations, described the
vast underground fairyland.
"About half a mile from the foot of
the shaft," wrote Doctor Lee, "we en-
ter the part of the cave reserved as a
national monument and soon pass be-
neath the natural opening. This open-
ing far above us, which seems so awe-
some at the surface, appears from
the floor of the spacious cavern like a
small and very Inconspicuous aper-
ture. Here we give It scarcely a sec-
ond thought and pass on to the more
Impressive features which appear at
each turn.
"As we proceed we gradually make
our way deeper and deeper Into the
earth. For nearly a mile, or a distance
almost equivalent to that from the
White House along Pennsylvania ave-
nue to the capltol, In Washington, "we
traverse a passage of astonishing di-
mensions. The walls are very Irregu-
lar, approaching to within 100 feet of
each other In a few places, then reced-
ing In lateral chambers many times
that width. At the side of the pas-
sageway are many alcoves opening In-
to £ooms, few of which have beeu ex-
plored.
Polished by Vanished Stream.
"In most places the walls are
rough and jagged, where masses of
rock, now lying on the floor, have
fallen. But In a few places the walls
are relatively smooth, _ having been
polished by waters which flowed
through this passageway ages ago.
There is relatively little dripstone
In this part.of the cave. "And yet
every now and again, as a beam of
light Is directed Into the darkness, one
Is startled at the sight of a snow-
white figure perched , on some ropk,
like the proverbial ghost on a tomb-
stone. These are Stalagmites built up
by the slow dripping of water charged
with carbonate of calcium from the
limestone of the roof.
"A little more than a quarter mile
beyond the natural opening we enter
the spectacular part of Carlsbad
cavern. Here we find chambers of un-
believable dimensions. Our way leads
ever downward, over enormous Jagged
blocks of limestone fallen from the
roof.,
"The chambers In this part of the
cave are several hundred feet wide
and the vaulted ceiling so far above
us that In some places we are hot
able to see It, much less estimate Its
height It seems like gassing upward
on a cloudy night. Our feeble lights
only magnify the void.
"At the foot of a great heap of
rocks 700 feet below thS surface at the
entrance, three large chambers open
off the main hall. The largest may be
called Shlnav's wigwam In honor of
the kingly warrior of Navajo myr
thology. Because of Its size and the
glory of Its decoration, this great
chamber may appropriately be likened
to the glorified wigwam of the great
wolf god Shlnav, who In battle used
petrifled trees for arrows.
"The third and smallest of the three
rooms Is subclrcular In outline and is
160 feet long by 140 feet wide. The
middle room Is about three times tills
size and the first one jnucli larger. No
measurements were made of the
larger rooms.
Draped In Onyx Curtains.
"The chambers about the wigwam
are separated from the master room
by curtains and partitions of gleam-
ing onyx formed by deposition of
lime carbonate from waters dripping
from the roof. The great dome is so
high that It is only dimly lllumianted
by the torches.
"Most of the celling Is covered with
dripstone. Thousands of stalactites
hang singly, In doublets. In triplets
and In groups. They range from a
few inches to lengths representing the
entire height of the room, and In di-
ameter from that of a small pencil to
masses many feet thick. In some
places they hang so thickly that they
coalesce at the top, forming spiny
masses weighing thousands of tons.
"Th ^most spectacular part of the
cavern is reserved as the final scene
of an eventful trip. Leaving the wlg-
wqm. we retrace our steps for u short
distance, climb a steep hill, make our
way laboriously at siiftll-like pace
through heaps of fallen rock and over
ledges where the guide patiently
shows the bewildered climber which
foot to put forward In order that the
next step may be taken safely. Aft-
er a half hour's struggle we enter
the Big Itoom.
"The Big Room has astounding pro-
portions. 'Had I been told before
entering It that an open apace of
such great dimensions was to be
fotjnd underground, I should hare
,doubt*d my InfornSaat's word aa
fi^aWy as many of my reader* prob-
ably will doubt mint."
BERLIN WOMAN IS
RED-CAP PORTER
Is Fifty-Seven but Finds Job
Not Too Hard.
Berlin.—At the Zoological gardens
station In Berlin there afe 10 red-cap
porters on duty. Oue of tliem la a
woman, Emllle Ilase.
In Berlin they call a porter a
dlenstmann, and, as a dieustmann,
Emllle is known as No. 87. She
weurd a red-leather cap with a brass
plate and carries a stout strap over
ber shoulders for bucktfhg the bur-
den to her person. When she walks
she shuffles with the dragging gait of
the "heavyweight" porter whose feet
have berfn made leaden with burdens
borne, and with the lassitude that
comes from a service of 20 years In a
porter's harness. For Emllie la flfty-
seven.
A hard life? An Interviewer was
consoling with Rrolile. No, It was not
such a hard life. "I get op to my
rank ift the early morning to meet the
long-distance express trains and I go
home by eight o'clock in the evening,"
she said. But Emllle admitted that
times could be better. "Times are
bad—so many people carry their own
traps. I used to get odd Jobs carry-
ing flowers or boxes of candies for
birthday presents and the like, but
they don't seem to give many pres-
ents, nowadays."
More than twenty years ago Emllle
delivered newspapers. But Emllle
can't climb stairs any more. "I get
out of breath too soon, If I am carry-
ing more than a hundredweight."
When asked If she could not find a
Job of more gentle nature, she flared
up. "That's what the other fellows
keep hinting to me. They'd like to
get rid of me; women's competition,
see? No, sir, I'm not going to quit"
Boys
Plan Foodless
Jaunt of 400 Miles
San Francisco.—With a skull and
crossbones Inslgula on their Jersey, a
firm conviction that the great major-
ity of persons eat two-thirds mora
than they should, and Implicit trust
in their physical and mental fitness,
two young men purpose to walk tho
400-odd miles between San Francisco
nnd Los Angeles In 14 days, without
eating any food.
They are Frank Lievens and Roy S.
Sandsberry, both of 184 Broadway,
Huntington Park. Their only conces-
sion to custom is that they may drink
all the water they want
"We are not sponsored by any per-
son or organization, and there will be
no service automobile along to help
out," the men declared.
Describing themselves as two phys-
ical-culture and diet enthusiasts, Lier-
ens and Sandsberry said their only
training for the ordeal was living an
outdoor life and eating only natnral
food.
"We are confident no 111 results will
follow the undertaking. We have fast-
ed, on occasion, for periods ranging
from ten to twenty days, and hava
benefited thereby."
Sandsberry said that last year he
walked a distance of 40*) miles in eight
days on a comparatively light diet of
milk and fruit. In support of their
ability to walk this distance without
food, they referred to the B77-mile
hike of George H. Johnson froto Chi-
cago to Bald Kaoh. Pa., several months
ago. Johnson took no food during the
Journey, they said.
Women's Field of Work
With Government Grows
Washington.—A slow but certain
widening of the field of women's serv-
ice In federal government departments
is clearly evident, the women's bureau
of the Department of Labor reported,
but the proportion of men receiving
the more attractive government sal-
aries still far exceeds that of women.
The highest yearly salary received
by any woman government employee,
a survey disclosed. Is $0,500 to the
civil service commissioner Only ten
out. of the thousands of other womun
employees receive us much as $5,200
and only 35 receive $3,000 or more.
Measured by the number of women
receiving $1,SOO or more annually,
stenographic and clerical positions of-
fer opportunity for advancement to
the larger number of women, but the
survey added that measured by tha
proportion who reach and exceed this
amount, the greater opportunities for
women lie lu professional and scleo'
tlfic fields.
Roiled by Stamps
Berlin.—New one-cent stamps, bear-
ing the likeness of Frederick tha
Great are regarded by Communlsta
as a provocation to the working
classes and they demand suppression
of the issue.
