—Dietz on Science — ROCKET SHIPS ROUTE PIERCES AURORA REGION Marvel of Color Is Seen As Explorers Roach Stratosphere. BY DAVID DIETZ Scripps-Ilow arti Science Editor Mystical and beautiful, the weird, rainbow-hued northern lights hiss and crackle at the top of the earth's atmosphere. At a height of fifty miles above the earth's surface, our rocket ship enters the home of the Aurora Borealis. We turn our course northward, for even though we delay by a few nours our journey to the sea-green | planet. Uranus, we wish to enjoy the full beauty of the Arctic fire- ; works. As we rose through the first six miles of air. we noted that the temperature fell continuously. These six miles comprised the lowest layer of the atmosphere, the troposphere. Then we entered the startosphere I where the temperature is everywhere uniform, a temperature ol j iOO degrees below zero. At a height of eighteen miles we left the stratosphere and entered the third layer of the atmosphere, the meteoric region, so-called because it Is at this height that most meteors or “shooting stars" burn themselves up. Sharp Lookout Kept At that time we posted our lookouts at port-holes on all sides of the ship for from now on we must keep a sharp watch for meteors. We now are in the auroral re- | £ion, the home of the Aurora ! Borealis. This region begins fifty miles above the earth's surface and trails out to meet empty space Just where we may say that the atmosphere ends and empty space begins is a debated question. Auroral displays at heights of ’OO and 150 miles above the earth's surface are common in the polar regions, showing that there still is some atmosphere at those heights. Rays Form Arch As our rocket ship speeds northward. we begin to see the northern lights ahead of us. In the United States, the aurora is rare. Not | more than three or four displays j are ordinarily seen in a year. Sometimes two or three years I elapse between good displays.' But ! as one goes further north, they become more and more frequent. On the American side, the aurora is most frequent in latitude north 60 degrees. Suddenly, a great system of ra>s breaks out from the mighty arch of color. They end upward into the sky like the spokes of a fan. There are thousands of these rays and in them all the colors of the rainbow. Some are deep red, some are bright crimson. Here are violet and lavender. Some are bright yellow and pale green. Hissing Is Heard The rays leap up and die down again. They seem almost alive, j Now suddenly they leap to their full | height, quivering and vibrating, j Next, they begin a wild dance, j marching back and forth and weavj ing in and out. Upon the exterior of our ship are ! super-sensitive microphones conj nected to loud-speakers in the con- | trol room. We snap on the switch that controls them and listen. A | hissing, cracking noise greets our 1 ears. It is the song of the aurora, sometimes heard faintly by observers upon the ground in the far north. Titt l aurora is caused by the sun. Electrons shot out of great eruptions upon the sun, eruptions whicti precede and accompany sun spots, come hurtling across space and enter the earth’s atmosphere. Sail Off In Space Because of the earth's magnetic field they are deflected so that prac- | tically none enter at the earth’s equatorial region while most of them ! enter the polar areas. But we must not spend too much time in this enchanted region of ; fantastic cfilors. We point the nose of our rocket ship upward and sail into empty space. The aurora flickers faintly far below us, indicating that we have left the earth and it#* atmosphere below us. Let us turn the controls over to l the first mate and make our way to the dining salon for sandwiches and coffee, l Next—A meal in the rocket ship—adventures in the topsy-turvy legion of gravitation-free space. FOREST -BANKRUPTCY’ IS FEARED BY EXPERT Urgent Need for Conservation Pointed Out in New Book. By (jcrippx-Hoicarii Newspaper Alliance I WASHINGTON, April 13.—As state foresters from all parts of the country filed plans with the federal government for forest conservation work to be done by the new unemI ployment relief corps, the urgent need for such work was set forth in | the first state-by-state report on devastation of timber lands ever I prepared. The report is by Lieutenant- | Colonel Georgo P. Ahern, author of | “Deforested America.” His new book ' is “Forest Bankruptcy in America,” ; and in it he points out that while ! totals for the United States show ! a relatively large supply of virgin j timber still untouched, “almost every one of the forty-eight states is headed toward forest bankruptcy j in timber of merchantable size.” HOME NEED REPAIRS?
