NATURE’S SKY SIGNS.
Recent Display of the Aurora Borealis
at Fine Exhibition of Hhis Phenom
enon.
New York. April 24. —The recent
display of the Aurora Borealis, or
Northern Lights, visible throughout
large sections of the United States
and Canada, as well as in Northern
Europe, was one of the finest exhibi
tions of this beautiful phenomenon
Seen in many years. At some points
the red glow of the Aurora was so
brilliant that many persons imagined
that a great tire was in progress,
aful for a time fire and i>olice sta
tions were kept busy answering tele
phone inquiries from those who
wanted to know where the conflagra
tion was.
j The Aurora is more frequent in
printer than in summer. December
hnd January usually give the most
brilliant displays, but the lights have
been seen in every month of the
fear. The usu«nl colors oi the danc
ing streams are white and red. Green
lis sometimes seen in the sky, but
I violet is very unusual,
i Usually the many-colored stream
ers of the Northern Lights are in
timately connected, with 'magnetic
storms," and scientists now believe
that both may be caused by dis
turbances in the sun.
There is evidence to support the
belief that a connection exists be
tween the Aurora and the sun The
years of high solar activity are alsa
years of magnetic storms and bril
liant Northern Lights displays. Fre
quently. too, when a large sun-spot
passes across the centre of the sun’s
disc there is a magnetic storm, or
an Aurora, or both, two days after
wards.
No large sun-spot preceded the
recent display, but scientists think
that the Aurora may have been caus
ed by an invisible disturbance, prob
ably situated deep in the interior of
the sun.
For some- reason that scientists
have been unable to explain the
Aurora is seen more frequently in
Northern Europe than in the north?
ern part of the American continent.
In the latitude of London the
Aurora is seldom seen, but in the
North of Ireland in Scotland the!
phenomenon is visible on thirty l
nights in the year; while in the Shet
land Islands it is seen very frequent
ly. The fartherst southern point at
which the Aurora is ever visible in
Europe is Southern Spain, where
there is a display ‘about once in ten
years; while the line of its greatest
frequency and brilliance run be
tween the Shetlands and Iceland. In
the very far North, however, it is
quite rare. There seems to be a
ring of Aurora around both Poles,
but at a cons : tlerable distance away
from them.
One of the biggest air raids that
the Germans made on England dur
ing the war was carried out by the
lid of the Aurora Borealis or North
ern Lights. On that night the whole
>f the North Sea’ was a white glow
mder this strange radiance. It seem
'd to observers that the great naval
>ase at Sheerness was in flames, and
•©ports to that effect were actually
ent to the British military head
uarters.
Nearly five million dollars in
loney orders, checks and drafts is
ouud annually in the dead letter of

MILL MAN OPPOSES
NIGHT WORK IN MILLS
Roltert I-assiter Calls Working Wom
en and Children at Night Econom
ic Crime.
Charlotte, April 22.—“ The employ
ment of women and children for night
work in the cotton manufacturing
plants of the State is more than a
mere social mistake, it is an econom
ic crime, and the State ought to pre
vent it," declared Robert Lassiter,
one of the outstanding manufacturers
of the South, prominent business man
and member of the directorate of the
Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond,
long a resident and citizen of Char
lotte.
"I am writing to Governor McLean
today." Mr. Lassiter said Wednesday,
"congratulating him upon his decis
ion to have a sweeping investigation
made of conditions abounding in the
manufacturing plants of the State
as they affect the employment of Wom
en and children.
"I am confident that the survey
will reveal that there are few, if any
notable fractures of the law govern
ing the working of children, insofar
as their age is concerned, but that is
not what ails the industry in this
State and in the South, primarily.
"Whatever faults the cotton manu
facturing business may have and
whatever defects may abound origi
nate chiefly from one source, and that
s the policy of working women and
children at night steadily and as a
fixer! program.
"I take no exceptions to their em
ployment under nbnormal conditions
which occasionally arise. Some times
situations must be met in the cotton
manufacturing industry which makes
the running of mills at night more or
less imperative, but it is the fixed pol
icy to which I refer of some manu
facturers. in running their plants,
both day and night. The result of

such, employment of women and of
children, even though of legal age to
be occupied in the mill*, cannot be
justified in common sense, in morals
or in religion.
"I am speaking of the matter pure
ly from the standpoint of a business
man. and on a bread-and-butter bas
is. I say. as such, that the fixed pol
cy of running the mills at night nnd
using women and children in them
for such work can not have but one
eventual result nnd that will be harm
ful, vitiating and destructive to the
industry itself.
"The moralist," Mr. Lassiter con
tinued, “finds such a policy to be
nauaeating to an enlightened public'
sentiment in North Carolina and the ,
rel'gious fanatic might properly claim ;
that it deserves the very wrath of
God to be visited upon it. but I have
formed my conclusions from neither
of these angles.
"It is the economic blunder and
crime of the thing, the anti-business
phase of it, that has impressed me, 1
nnd I am unalterably opposed to it ;
and will be personally delighted to
have the cover torn off the situation as
now exists in the State and through
out the whole South. It will be the
salvation of the cotton manufactur
ing industry itself, if the elimination
of this primal cause of all its evila
can be brought about.”
i Mr. Lassiter is an employer of
two groups of cotton mill operatives
in Fayetteville and in WiUiamston, S.
where he has textile mills, and in
neither of these plants, Mr. Lassiter
j said, is night work, as a fixed policy,
j tolerated or would be allowed.
Host and Flagg’s Cotton Letter. '

active by comparison with past per

Offerings of May have been some
what more liberal recently
opinions as to the amount of cotton
likely to reach the market for de

Interest seems shifting In large
measure to new crops with a grad-1

buy those months for a pull of the]
ground that present prices an
reasonable and would prove cheap if
the crop meets any serious set back.
The start is late even by comparison
with last year which makes the crop
more vulnerable to later unfavorable
weather and attacks by insects.
The reduction in the federal dis
