> ARTIFGIAL AURORA - FORSKY IN SOUTH . . . Gigantic Electrical Machine —— New York, Feb, 35. UM—A huge projector for producing an artificial aurora borealis of colossal slze being built {n Brogklyn. Designed as an ilumination fea- ture of the Bhriners' convention in Miami, Fla,, May 1 to 3, the appara- lua consists of a €§2-inch high in. tensity searcNlight that casts o Jight beam of 1,400,000,000 candle yower. This ray is broken into scven individyal beama by mrisme that fi' -.the aurera fan, - The flicker and deift of the famoua northern lights is simulated by tilting the prisms, which are con- trolled by a moter, Coler effects are obtained by passing the rays through lenses of various hues. The entire aurora is slowly ro- tated so that the abserver sees a fan of light that apens and closes. Preliminary measurements show that the beams pemetrate beyond thoe earth's atmespheric strata and a sible at great distances, Many scientists now helieve that nature's speetacular phenomenon, the rora ‘herealis, ia caused by material ejected by the sum during the severe solar storma Some of the cast eoff particles ultimately rcach the earth'a upper atmosphere Where, at 8 height of from 40 to 100 they glow an electrical discharge, The equipment for reproducing the mnorthern lighta en seuthern | skies will weigh abeut five tons. The great intensity of its beam ia obtained by squeezing 24 hovae- vower of energy inta a tiny cup of carbon, which then gives off a dazzling vapor having a tempera- ture of 9,000 degrees Fahrcuheit. Behind the intense apat of - light is a five-fapt mirrar, ground to op- tical accuracy, which amplifies the brilliance of the amall source of illumination into the great beam that is cast upon the sky.

Lewis, president of Harvey & Le thz lurgest optical and photographic supply firm in Connecticut, died yesterday after- noon at his home, 7 Westerly icre race, West Hartford, after having been ill with pneumonia for the past week. He was 62 years of age. Born in Rockville, Mr. Lewis moved to Hurtford when a youth and entered the employ of W. Whittlesey & Co., an Asylum street clothing firm, gnd was later asso- ciated with the Veeley Clothing Co. In 1890 he and Foster E. Harvey c tered the optical business and es- | tablished the firm which has now | autgrown all others in its line in| this state. The first store was at 23 Asylum strect in a building just torn down, but three years later they remgved to 865 Main street where their business developed amazingl After 32 years of association, Mr. Harvey retired from the firm in 192 taking over the atores in Springfield, New Haven and Bridgeport. Mr. Lewis retained the Hartford estab- lishment and the one which had been opened in New Britain in 1920. He became president and treasurer, with his son, Richard B. Lewis, as sccretary. Last year the firm was established in new quarters at Main and State stre he New Britain branch is located at 79 West Main street. Abgut ten years ago Mr. Lewis became active in real estate de: opments and, with Wilbur A. Wil- cox, he built up Cherry road and Westerly terrace in West Hartford. Here many model homes of colonial and English design were built, and outstanding among them all was Mr. Lewis himself. With Edward M. Stone, Messrs. Lowis and Wilcox ecrected the building at Al- len and Trumbull streets which houses the City club and apartments of the Actwa Life Insurance Co. They also recently acquired land on Church street, Hartford. Mr, Lewis was married in but his wife died in 1914, 1 years later he married Miss Lista Lincoln of Berlin. He and Mrs. Lewis have done much travelling abroad in the past decade. They went to Egypt and the Holy Land twice and last year motored through France and Italy, taking an airplane ride from Venice to Vien Mr. Lewis was a member of sev-| eral Masonic lodges and was al ghriner.

Syracuse, N.

Iven the identity of the Killer, whom police believed at first to have been a “Doctor Hoff” @r “Huff” known to have been a suitar of the 40-year-old spinster, was clouded In doubt by conflicting clues. A statement made by Captain John J. Lamb of the New Jerscy state police that the Kkiller mps known and was a sacially prominent New Yorker, was denied by him la- ter in the day. He said he did not know the slayer's identity. Prosecutor Francis J. Bergen of Somerset county, who has been di- recting the investigation into the murder, said it was “at.a stand- still.”” “We will have to start all over again tomorrow morning,” he declared. ~ Kunows Murderer Inspector John D. Coughlin, head of New York detectives, however, said the murderer was known to him, although his present where- abouts was a mystery, and that he was a clever crook who preyed on women. Authorities have searched Miss Brown's trunk for clues. They have examined the bonds and the con. feasion of the murderer, mailed to dolice of this city from Newark, for fingerprints, and have investigated varlous reports of the slayer's move- ments since the killing—all appar- ently without result, An unnamed woman was sald te have informed' Morristown poHee that she knew “Doctor Huff"* and to have given them the address of his office, where he was said to prac- tice medicine either in Newark or Morristawn. Police were said to have visited the addrcss given and found that the man had fled, but this could not be confirmed. Emil Holber, a butcher of this city, told ‘police that & man in a blue sedan, similar to the one in which Miss Brown is beligved to have been brought from New York and killed, had revisited the scene of the killing and attempted to question him as to This clue failed, however, when it was found that Holaer had misread the license number of the car. The license he | |gave was faund to have been issucd | 1o @ resident af Phillipsburg, N. J. whose car had not been in this vi- cinity. Suicide records of Néw York and New Jersey were heing clasely watched by police in case the mur-| derer whould carry out his threat, contained in the confession, to take his own life if arrest neared. Watch ships Passport records and outgoing steamships also were being watched at New Yark to see if the murderer should attempt {0 escape the coun- try. Miss Brown had told a gov- crness friend that she intended to marry and palice believed passage might have been sgecured far some other country. The trip to California, which she gave to her New Yark employer, James J+ Gillesple of Park avenue, ag the reason for her resig- nation as governess for his children, was believed to be a ruse to hide a runaway marriage and probably in- spired by her murderer. Police were inclined to daubt the story of the murderer, as told in the confession, that he had knocked Miss Brown insensible in a drunken féknzy when she resisted his advances and then set fire to her clothi believ- ing her dead. This they viewed as a possible building up of a defense against a first degree murder charge in case he is caught. They believe the murder was premeditated and carefully planned.
