A few weeks ago people living in Colorado Springs, near the foot of the famed Pike’s Peak, were startl ed to observe what appeared to be blue flares on the snowclad sum mit of the mountain. At first it was thought they were distress sig nals, They disappeared one night only to reappear the next. An airplane hovered over the peak, but learned nothing. The mystery was cleared up by scientific diagnosis—the flares were negative discharges of electricity from the atmosphere to the earth, popularly knqwn as St. Elmo’s fire. If the discharges had been positive, they would nave been red. Thun derstorms and heavy snowstorms often cause St. Elmo’s fire. The dis charges are tram the air o any point, as the masts of a ship, a steeple, a tree, points of rock, even the outstretched fingers of the hand. Often the discharge makes a sizzling or crackling sound. The phenomenon is Identical, electricity in the laboratory. Sailors christened this phenome non “St. Elmo’s fire." Observing it from the tips of masts or other parts of the ship, they regarded it as a visible sign from their patron saint, St. Elmo—an Italian corrup tion of the name of St. Erasmus. British sailors borrowed the name "corposant,” for this phenomenon, which comes, according to Web ster's New International Diction ary, from the Italian (or Portugese) "Corpo Santo," holy body, or from the Latin "Corpus Sancti,” body of a saint. St. Elmo’s fire appears sometimes single, sometimes double. It has many nicknames. Double sailors often call it Castor and Pollux, the names of the twin stars. Pliny rec ords this in his “Natural History.” Single, St. Elmo’s fire has been called simply Castor, ,o» Helena, the latter being the name of the sister of Castor and Pollux. The double, corposant, or Castor and Pollux, signifies to sailors the end of a storm. Helena, or the single corposant, may be an unlucky sign In an ambulance wrecked while hurrying her to a hospital, Mrs. J. C. Morton of Minneapolis became the mother of a bp by boy, Kansas City Women Run Novel Factory Kansas City, Mo.—Taking a hint from the first American housewives—the Indians—whose pueblo kitchenettes bloomed with gayly colored cookinf dish es, two Kansas City women have built a factory which pro duces more than a millon ar ticles u year. But the Indian housewives failed to five their colored pot tery a name and It remained for Miss Ada M. Kassimer, one of the partners, to coin the word “beautllities.” The other part ner is Miss Florence M. Fenner. Eight years ago, while on a vaca tion trip together, the plans for the business were made. Pooling their resources the two young women found they bad.$fig. Perhaps it is the thought of this small amount of money that has made them fill their factory with young women and girls who are students in art schools about the city, for no man operates this business. • At first the products were decor ated candy jars, cooky boxes, per , fume bones, defines and jardinieres. Later pottery became an important item and today It is one of the chief products of the plant. The clay comes from Calhoun, Mo., nearby and girls working in the factory model it. From here It Is taken to Pittsburg, Kas., kilns for firing and returned for final decor ating. Each year new articles have been added to the list of articles, some of which have found their way in to large eastern stores. The first year’s income was $2, 700. This was doubled the second year. Miss Kasslmer is the musical partner. She was an active work er for years In Kansas City’s first symphony orchestra. In those days Miss Fenner was beginning to make novelties which she sold to a little gift shop in which Mias Kasslmer was interested.
