The District of Columbia Society of the Sons of the Revolution has changed its plans for a celebration of February 22—Washington’s birthday. It had proposed to worship on that day at Christ Church, Alexandria, after par- taking of a feast in the long room at the City Tavern. This program, however, was aban- doned because of the possibility that the weather might be bad and spoil the fun. Arrangements have been completed instead for a celebration at St. John’s Church in Wash- ington at4p.m.on the day mentioned. The Marine Band and the best local vocal talent have been engaged for the occasion, and are now rehearsing appropriate national hymns to be played and sung. There will be an address by the Kev. Dr. Douglas, reetor of St. John's and chaplain of the society. The President and Vice President of the United States will occupy a front seat, together with other high official personages and the French minister, Patenotre. All the members of the Senate and the heads of committees in the House of Representatives Will be included among the mvited guests. In- Vitations will also be extended to the heads of all the ions and to the entire French le- gation, members of which will be seated to- gether with members of the society. The so- Ciety will mect at the Parish Hall of St. John’s, whence the members will proceed to the church in a bod, The invitations are in form quite unique, resembling in wording and printing the ttle Page of an old revolutionary book. The com- mittee in charge of the celebration is composed of Mr. John Lee Carroll, Kev. Dr. George William Douglas, Lieut. Richard G. Davenport, Hr, Montgomery Bisir, Kev. Dr. Randolph H. McKim, Mr. sander B. Legare and Mr. Gaillard Hunt ‘The Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Saturday evening, February 13, 1892, there was a very good, though minor display, of the “northern lights.” For many years now we have not had any exhibition to speak of in this line. What they are we know not, though many theories have been advanced. The trouble is as to the facts. We have not as yet had sufficient number of tangible facts to enable us to solve the problem of their cause. Some years ago a lecturer advertised to demonstrate to the world the cause or nature's secret in this department. He had gathered his audience and thus propounded to them his great solution of the problem. “Ladies and gentlemen, I propose to demonstrate to ‘ou this evening that the cause of the surora realis is due to electricity; for if it is not due to electricity, what in the of com- mon sense is it due to?” And here he left his audience quite as much in the dark as when he began. In this connection there is another story told of a professor in one of the German universities. He asked his class-—evidently to try them in ready answers—what was the cause of the aurora borealis. The question passed from student to student with the response that they did not know. At last it reached the student at the end of the class. Scratch- ing his head he replied in thoughtful manner that he did know, but that he had forgotten. At this the professor said to the class: “Gen- tlemen, wea rein agreat dilemma. The only man who ever knew what was the cause of the aurora borealis has forgotten !"" As the telegraph aided us in the solution of meteorological phenomena it would be well to appeal to the sume agent to help us out in this department. “At present it is less difficuls to obtain the electricity than to secure the basis from which to make the ob- servations. But if the present Congress would only make an appropriation for the discovery of the north pole country, and then our agents go about it in business-like way—i. e., estab- ish @ base of supplies as far north as naviga- tion by steam would permit during the warmer months, and from this point advance and establish minor depots at the distance of a journey apart—if Congress would furnish the means to do this it would not take long to reach the pole and make telegraphic communication with it Then not only coulda few hardy explorers reach the pole, but the way would easily be prepared for the investigation of this north country from every standpoint, not only by GEORGETOWN, FATHER MORRISON'S PUXERAL. The funeral of the Rev. Father William Mor- rison, who died at Georgetown Coilege, will take place this afternoon, the interment to be in the College burying ground. Father Mor- rison was only about thirty-two years of age, and during the last twelve he had been 66 afilicted with rheumatism that all sections of the United States and Mexico were visited in the hope that the climatic change would be beneficial. From Mexico he was seat to the col- lege, where he died. The fancral services will be attended by the dead priest's mother, who is expected to arrive from Boston today. EPWORTH LEAGUE MEETING. | Mr. Isaac Birch’s home was last night the | meeting place of the Epworth League of Dum- | barton Avenue Church. After the transaction | of routine business a pleasant little musical and literary program was participated in by the | members and a delightful time had until the adjournment. The sclections of the Misses Stewart, Mies Traversand Messrs. Birch, Fisher and Houghton did much toward making the meeting highly enjoyable. THE RAINDOW BAZAAR. A seven-colored arch thrown across the inte- rior of Odd Fellows’ Hall and connecting the gaily decorated booths on either side was one of the beautiful features of the rainbow bazaar which opened Inst night under the auspices of | the ladies of Mt. Tabor Church. Potted flow- ers and plants, patriotic drapery, pretty ice cream waitresses end tastily arranged stands made the room look more than inviting. Throughout the evening musical selections were rendered. A STORE BURGLARIZED. When on Monday morning Mr. C. W. Corn- well, the 82d street grocer, opeued his store he discovered that some one had entered during the night by means of the back door and stolen alot of candy and $2 in money.

Brooklyn Signs Brouthers. The Brooklyn Base Ball Club, through its manager, John Ward, hae signed Brouthers. His salary figures are not announced, but it is understood that he will receive about $4,000 for his services. The signing of Broutl doesn't mean the releasing of Dave Foutz, played the position last year, for Dave w: used as a pitcher and an extra fielder. The Southern Base Rall League.

A meeting will be held at Atlanta on February 20, at which the schedule for the coming season willbe agreed upon. Tho capital stock has Already been subscribed and “the new league will be in the ficld early in the spring.

Howard Perry, president of the A. A. U.,is a delegate from the C. A. C. to the Janssen meeting. A Parade of the Old Army, From the Ohio Soldier. One of the features adopted by the national encampment committée in Washington city will commend itself to comrades who have visited eucampments and experienced the dif- ficulty which always exists in finding old regi- mental friends and comrades. Headquarters for the several corps, and the regiments com- posing them, will be established in large build- ings erected in the fifty-acre lot located be- tween the White House and the Washington monument, one building for each corps. At these headquarters will be found all the army, corps, division, brigade and regimental com: mandere now living. This will be a gratifying ae woll as conven- ient arrangement for visiting comrades, and it will in effect orgenize the old armies as they existed at the close of the war. Now why not go a step farther and in addition to the Grand Army parade, have another parade on the day following of ‘the old army, under its old com- manders, and marching under its old battle flags? Such s parade would be a novelty that would not only attract thousands of people, but thousands of comrades, who would not other- wise attend the encampment, for it is no dis- paragement to say tat the old army is the in- spiration, spirit and foundation of the Grand Army. Such a parade of the old army could be readily carried out in a city affording such facilities ‘as does the national capital. Dy fix- ing the day of the parade of the armies at Washington at the close of the war, and as- signing the senior officer of each army, corps, division, brigade and regiment as they were assigned at that time, there would be ‘noclash about rank and the most meri- torious officers—those who won their positions by long and successful service—-would head the column. Under their lead, with the regiments around the old battle-scarred flags of twenty- five yearwago, if not so vigorous and warlike as the march of the victorious legions that passed under the eyes of Lincoln. Stanton, Chase, Grant, Sherman, Sheridar: and Meade, the im: press of whose measured tread will never pass from history. it would be an event second only in interest’ to that.

Itrust that the presont Congress will do something to further this project. To say nothing of all the other advantages, practical and scientific, that would result from this, we could without doubt obtain from that north country all the facts necessary to solve the mys- tery as to the aurora borealis. LPN. Washington, D.C., Febraary 15, 1892. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Take a good, strong clothes line and knot it at intervals of about eighteen inches. Do not draw the knot too tight, but tight enougf to prevent slipping, and you have a practical fire escape in an emergency. To prevent eutangle- ment commence at oue end and roll into a ball. When used tie the loose end toa bed post or some strong stationary object, tumble your ball out the window and descend hand under baud. Nearly all modern houses are con- structed with stud partitions, which act as so many flues, rendering night escape, in case of fire, impracticable except through windows.
