In a very clear way the romance profects the personalit Christ. makes a living and heli man. moving among His fellows in a henevolent power. One cannor sy 100 much fov the author's vital work on & pariod that the formalities of raligion heve served to make ahstract and out of reach. Within this complex of circum stance is Mary of Magdala—a young dewese, restless under the restraints of her racial upbringing. sager for freedom and. like all girls. ardent for heautiful things for self-decoration The author makes of this younz Mary so convincing a seeker of pleasure, willing to make any sacrifice for self: indulzence. that one does not zet over it—one ix not able to take the repentant Mary at the value that re- ligion seems 10 require. A remackable picce of work. this Mary. so steeped in avarice. so wedded to her own hap piness. that even her areat heanty and aven her nltimate repentance do not serve 1o rid one ession that her remarkable « voung Jewish Perhaps the sreatest valus story lies in its vivid revival nf 4 place and & life that have becoms | dimmed ‘and 10 » Still. ne nne e of the central the Holy Land, herself.

A number of vears ago the English physicist, Sir William Crookes, pro- duced what are called cathode ravs by passing a high voltage electric dis- charge through a tube from which the air had heen exhausted. These are trons, the minute electrical charges of | which the atoms of matter consist. | As some of these phenomena appear very much like the aurora boreali {1t was suggested that cathode ray were being emitted by the sun and that when these encountered the gases in_the upper atmoapbere of the firmation of this theor vian scientist, Prof. Kristian Birke- resenting the earth, in a vacuum, and | when he hombarded it with cathode ravs artificial auroras appearad.

Prof. L. Vegard, a_French scientist, worked on the prohlem of its origin in Leyden, Holland, at the laboratory of Prof. Kamerlingh Onnes. one of the two places in the world where exten- sive low temperature research is car- ried on. He found that many of the colors {of the aurora were due to the action of the cathode rays on nitrogen: and finally, in the Spring of 1924, he announced that he had obtained the green line artificially by freezing nitrogen to a solid, with a tempera- ture of 346 degrees below zero, Fahrenheit, and subjecting it to the action of the raye.

As helium is so light, he !unpflsodi that the atmosphere at an altituda | of 60 miles would contain a large proportion of it, so he passed the cathode rays through a partly ex- hausted tube containing about 25 parts of helium to ome of oxvgen. The line was obtained, even though the use of oxygen or hellum alone did | hot show it. Thus the origin of all the observed colors in the northern lights are known. and even more im- portant evidence is obtained as to the composition of the upper atmosphere.
