Mr. H. O. 8. Colborne writes in Science Progress, the great scientific quarterly edited by Sir ectual Ronald Rons that the voientifle oause of the wonderful coloured lights known as the Aurora Borealis in the northern akios at night which have always and astonishment aroused
travallora and admiration in discoverers in the polar regions. Now maintlas haa hitherto been shrouded in mystery. It was a thing wbloh nobody could understand. But, according to Information given, a fow days ago by M. Doslandres to the French Academy of Sclonco, a Norwegian professor has made a discovery by which ho has been able to reproduce in at home the his laboratory brilliant characteristic yellow. greon radiations, the hidden! socret of the Aurora Borealis,
It appears that, contrary to the! old theory that at high altitudes tho atmospheric composition changes loto hydrogen and helium, the experiments of Prof. his Vogard in
Christiania laboratory go to prove that the real fact is that at a height of tho usual about 100 miles, altitudo of the Aurora Borealis, the nitregon of the air is still pro- frozen into Bolid sent, but

Farthest North." Ono night, in his diary, Nansen wrote: whola aky was ablaze, No words can depict the glory that mot our eyes, The glowing firo-massos had divided into glistoning, many- coloured bands, which were writhing and twisting soroas tho sky both in the south and north. on 2 The rays sparkled with the purest, most crystalline rainbow colours, chiofly violot, red or carmino andi the clearest green. Most fro- quently the rays of the arch wore red at the ends, and changed higher up into sparkling green, which quite at the top turned darkar and went over into blue or vialot, before disappearing in the blue of the sky; or the rays in one and the same aroh might change from olear red to aloar groen, coming and going as if driven by a storm. It was an eadless phantasmagoria of spark- ling colours surpassing anything that one can dream. Sometimes the spectaclo ranched such a olimax that ono's breath was takon away; ono foit that now something extraordinary mast bappon-at the very least thesky must fall."
Professor. Vegard is continuing his experiments, endeavouring to discover some further secrets of tho Aurora Borealis ; and he also expoots to be able to explain the mysteries of phosphorescent light.

Britain's Loss From Disease.
"It must no longer be sald that the man was so sick ho had to send for the doctor."
That was the keynote to the presidential address dolivored by Major-General Sir David. Bruce to the British Association last month at Toronto. His subject was the prevention of disease.
"Medicine in the future must change its strategy," he declared, "and, instead of awaiting the attack, assume the offensive.
