Professor Snyder of PNtaMpMa
Explains Rooont Groat
Auroral Display.

DUE TO HYDHMa HtBTtGt.ES
Phenomena la But Logical Rssvtt
of KxpJaalva Eruption of tho
' Eleotrlo Hy**ean From
tho Sup.
Philadelphia.—TMf earth was pess-
Ing through the outer confines of the
corona or' exterior envelope of the
sun orf the night of March 22, when
the Inhabitant* of the northern por
tion of the United States witnessed
the great display of {he aurora bore
alls, Says Professo# Monroe B. Snyder,
director of the Philadelphia observa
tory.
The astronomer, in a statement to
the Associated Press, says that the
"universal force of radloactlon" on the
sun "hurled the final atoms of an ex
plosion, namely, electrified hydrogen,
and probably helium, straight to ths
earth."
Passing Through Solar Corona.
Professor Snyder's observations fol
low:
"The recent aurora Is a fine Indi
cation of the explosive atomic disin
tegration which takes place at the sur
face of the sbn and Is responsible for
Its prominences, spots and corona.
Our discovery of the magnitude and
precise atomic order of the explosion
of the chemical elements in the sun,
and In the stars generally, leads to
conceptions of the aerora and the ac
companying magnetic and electric
storms which are- beyond any doubt
as to their validity.
"During the hours of the night of
March 22 the earth was, in a very
true sense, and to the delight of us
all, passing through the outer con
fines of the solar corona. The same
universal force of radloactlon which
disintegrates ths stoms In stupendous
localized Krakatoas, or Mont Pelees,
on the sun, and produces the hydrogen
of the coronal streamers, then alto
hurled the final atoms of that explo
sion, namely, electrified hydrogen, and
probably helium, straight to the earth.
Phenomenon Explained.
"Only within about I s month of the
eqtolnox, vernal, or autumnal, Is the
earth In an orblfdl position to be thus
successfully bombarded. The moving
electric hydrogen Js, of course, an elec
tric current and Is therefore carried
toward the poles of thft earth and
round them by the earth's magnetic
forces. The fascinating colqrs of-the
aurora are due to the changing elec
tric excitation of the hydrogen and
ether gases. The theory of Veg'ard,
the Swedjsh physicist which has ex»
plained the wonderful curtained au
roras as due to hydrogen particles, of
positive electric chsrge. Is now shown
to be unquestionably true In that It l
but a logical result of the explosive
eruption of the electric hydrogen from
the sun.
"The well-known delay, or lag la
time, between the solar eruption and
the appearance of the magnetic storm
and accompanying aurora on the
earth, of about forty-five hours,
Is due to the time taken for the
liydrogen atoms to travel from
the sun to the earth. The rate of
travel Is about 575 miles per second,
or somewhat in- excess of tho rata off
the upward movement of the gases In
some of the great solar prominences.
"The numerous add complex details
of the auroral phenomena are found
thus to receive, for the first time, rea
sonable explanation. Additional con-:
Urination of this explanation Is given
by the fact that our discoveries also
prove that all the elemental atoms,
so wonderfully explosive In the stars,,
are structural products of hydrogen."

J Surest Way la to Follow Form 1040 A.
f Free Advice In Doubtful Cases,
r Severe Penaltiee in
( Law.
Nobody Is exempt from Income Tax.
An obllgutlon IK laid directly on the
. shoulder* of each citizen nnd resident
-: to consider his own cniio und to get hla
return In on time If one is due.
With each return showing n tax due
a payment must accompany the return
In the full amount of the tax or ut
, least one-quarter of the tax.
All returns for 1010 must be filed on
or before March 15.
Must Show True Figures.
In figuring up bis earnings for In
come tax purposes a person must take
Into consideration all Herns of taxable
Income, and each Item Itself must be ,
accurate In amount. Guesses and es
timates must be avoided, for the re
turn Is made under oath.
Everybody who had an income dar
ing 1910 must now; determine whether
his or her net Income was sufficient In
amount to require an Income Tax re
turn. The best way to ilnd out is to
get a Form 1040 A and follow the In
structions printed ou It That form
will serve as u reminder of every Item
of Income; and If a return la due, It
tells how to prepare and file It.
One of the Important points to keep
In mind la that a person's net Income
la found by a computation prescribes
In the law, and that each Item of In
come from every source must be cou
sidered, unless speclflcnlly.exempted.
Another thing to remember la that
tha personal exemption allowed lax
payers by law has no relation whatever
to tha requirement to tile return. Thla
exemption Is not to be considered until
a person has figured out hla net In
come and determined whether It waa
sufficient to require him to file a re
turn. Then, If a return must be filed,
he should read carefully the Instruc
tions for claiming exemption, and com
plete bis return *
If In doubt on any point as to Income
or deductions, a person may secure
free advice and aid from the nearest
Internal Revenue office. Many banks
and trust companies are also furnish
i lng similar service- during banking
hours.
Meavy Penaltiee in Law.
j For Ailing to roake a return on time
' the penalty Is a fine of not more than
SI,OOO and an addition of 25 per cent
to the tax. If any. For making a false
or fraudulent return the penalty Is n
fine of not more than 110,000 or 1m-
I Drlsonment not exeeedlnf one year, or
i
both; and. In addition, 00 per cent of
the tax. There are other penaltiee for
falling to pay tax when due and for
understatement of tha tax through
negligence.
Many Sourcea ef Income.
Aalde from what one may earn by
his services, there are many other
t sources of Income. If he sold any
property during 1910 ho muat figure
out the gain realised. If be rented
buildings, land, apartmenta or rooms
such rents must be considered taxa
able, and he may claim deductions for
necessary expenses Incidental to rents.
Rank Interest Is a common source
of Income and la taxable whether with-
I drawn or not. Any amount of Intereet
i credited to a depositor Is Income to
the depositor.
Interest on mortgagee and notee la
taxuble; also bond Interest received
from corporations.
A taxpayer who cashed hla Insur
ance during 1019 muat report as In
come any excess received over the to
tal of premiums paid.
Member* of partnerships or personal
service corporatlona or beneficiaries of
an estate or trust must report their
shares of Income distributable to them
whether or not actually withdrawn.
Dlvldenda of doueetlc corporatlona
| must be reported. Many other forma
of Income are taxable, unleaa specific
ally exempted.

Aleppo, Syria.—The alaughter of the
little French garrlaon whlcli evacuated
Urfa on a promlae of aafe conduct by
the Turkish nationalist troops after
the town had been besieged for 01
daya, la described in the diary of Gen
-1 eral Woodward, accountant for the
American Commlaalon for Relief In the
Near East, who waa an eye wltneaa of
i the massacre. He escaped and returned
• to Urfa after several hundred French
soldiers had been killed or made pris
oners by tribesmen.
The French were ambushed by ttie
tribesmen In violation of nn agreement
made by Nemlk Effendl, who came
from Angora as the Turkish natlonal-
I Ist government's representative, the
' diary says, and promised the French
men safe conduct If they would evacu
ate. At that time the French hod
1 only four daya' rations left, and had
eaten all their horses and mules, nnd
evacuation was considered Inevitable,
aa the garrison was greatly outnum
bered by the enemj.
General Woodward says In his diary
that he saw Turks killing the French
wounded on the field, and that he and
an officer of the gendarmerie saw pris
oners killed by the Turks after they
bad surrendered.
"Namlk Effendl agreed to protect
the Christian population, provide a
guard of gendarmerie and a transport
of 00 camels ang 80 horses If the
French would leave," the diary says.
"The garrison evacuated at 1:80
o'clock In the morning.
Attacked From the Rear.
"We were suddenly attacked from
the rear and from both flanka while
we were moving as a column spaced at
regular Intervals. The order was given
to deploy, nnd this was carried out
Into the hills occupied by the enemy,
who almost surrounded us.
"The attack lasted for two hours,
the Turks having 2,000 Irregular troopi
and one machine gun. They made a

"With destroyed, the'

the enemy, asking for his commander.
We were told there waa no com

"Of the French detachment of 800

' After the French evacuated llrfn the

Improved for the American relief
Workers, aa supplies of water and fuel
had been cat off and provisions were
nearly exhausted.
The Turks held a general meeting
■ of rejoicing over the departure of th*
French and declared In favor of "a
