For this reason they are i properly described as electro-mag- netic in character. These phenomena lh;m» been studied for many year and a comparison of these ob: tions has shown that there is in the northern atmosphere a belt of the atest frequency. The center of belt passes through the south- ern part of Hudson Bay, a little north of Cape Farewell and Iceland, brough North Cape. Norway, over the mouth of the Lena river, Ala and thence back to the center Hudson Bay. . )hservers north of this belt see aurora more frequently in the than to the north, and they ialso see it less and less frequently | the farther north they may be sit- uated. Observ in Springfield, ' who are to the south of this belt, always see the auroral displays to the north, though they sometimes ' i pass over the zenith, as they did last night, sometimes far the | south.
