ON CANADIAN RADIO RECEPTION "Does the aurora borealis when in visible display interfere with redid reception?" was a question directed to A. R. McEwan, Director of Radii, Canadian National Railways, .in an en- deavor to reach solve', solution ' of a problem which has caused a great deal of discussion. Mr. McEwan was approached 'because his department has unusual opportunities for observ- ing the manifestations of the "Nor- thern Lights," and the effect of the -phenomena on reception .apparatus. During a period, of three years logs have been prepared daily by operators in charge' of receiving sets on Cana- dian national trains, an average of;s o such reports being filed each week dealing with reception conditions across Canada from the Atlantic to the Pacific, this' material being obtain-. ed from the performance of sets in- stalled on the principal trainsof the -Canadian National system. Out of his Op personal experience, amplified by theti\observations contain- ed in the train radio logs, Mr. Mc - Ewan ansevexed the question by say- ing: • "1?eriodiccycles of poor radio con- ditions have occurred recently and the hill Hachilah in the wilderness of no doubt the aurora display has been Ziph, southeast of Hebron.' given a share of the blame by own- Saul in David's Power. So David and Abishai came to the people by night. 13y "the people" is meant' Saul's army, which was, theor- etically at least, a„ muster of all the 'people capable of bearing arms. And behold, Saul lay sleeping within the place of the wagons. Within a place, supposed to be especially safe, in the centre ,of the camp, surrounded by a circle of the massed, baggage wagons of the army. With his spear stuck, in the ground at his head. The spear served as a scepter,and was the sym- bol of royalty. The king held . it in his hand when he sat in council; it was kept by his side when he sat at table; stuck in the ground by his pil- low as he slept in camp. And Abner and the people lay round about him. Saul was prptected by his entire army. Abner was Saul's first cousin and the general of his army. Then said Abishai to David, God hath delivered up thine enemy into thy hand this day. This is what Saul said the first time David spared his life. Abishai was an experienced sol- dier, and he lane, that without di- vine . aid he and David could never have reached the point in the heart `United States during periods when of Saul's camp where they found the aurora was particularly brilliant. themselves. Now therefore let me WXNGI AM'"ADVANCE-TIME$ of the Ileavyside layer seems to af- feet the transmission of radio fre- quency waves." The coneltysions to be drawn front, the foregoing .are that while the Aur- ora cannot be said to actually affect radio transmission and reception, at the same time this phenomena is at times the visible sign of other causes which do affect radio, and, therefore, there is a certain relation betweeri them, SUNDAY AFTERNOON August ryth DAVID SPARES SAUL—x Sam, 2(i, Ul'olden Test --Be not overcome of ev- il, but overcome evil , with. good. —Rom. 12:27:. The Lesson in its Settings. Time.—David spares Saul's life' the first time, B.C, 1066; the second time, B.C. 1065. Many scholars believe that we have in the Bible two varying ac- counts of what was really a;;single occurrence. The following notes take. the view that they are two events, sufficiently differentiated in the Bible accounts. Place.—:The first sparing of Saul's life, at En-gedi. halfway up the west shore of the Dead Sea; the second at ers of radio receiving sets. Canada. being closer to the magnetic pole than most countries offers greater op- portunity for the study of this effect on radio transmission. These Nor- thern Lights are believed to be due to clouds of electrons shot off from the sun,, causing ionization in the rare upper atmosphere. The aurora is 'generally accompanied by large dis- turbing currents on the earth's sur- face effecting land telegraph lines and ocean cables which use the earth as a return path. These wandering our- rents 'appear to be of low frequency and, therefore, would not directly af- fect radio reception, such as in the case of static. ' "There is on record at the head- quarters of the radio department of the Canadian National Railways, a letter from the Federal Government agent at Fort Smith;,situated on the Athabasca at the northern boundary of Alberta and the Northwest Terri- tory, to the effect that on more that, oneoccasion he had splendid recep- tion at that point from CNRA (Moncton, N.B.); CNRO (Ottawa) and other stations in Canada and the they gat them away. They must have stepped with great care among that throng of sleeping warriors. And no, man saw it, nor knew it, neither did. any awake. There must have been many in the army, among those pass- ed by the two, who were naturally light sleepers, ready to start up at the snapping of a twig or the rattle of a dry leaf. For they were all aslleep, be.. cause a deep sleep from Jehovah was fallen, upon them. The success of the two in their approach and retreat could he accounted for in PO other way. Then David went over to the other side, and stood on the top of the mountain afar off; a great space being between them. Evidently Saul's army was on e plateau or a hill facing a ra- vine, and David descended the ravine and climbed up on the other side, placing the gorge between himself' and the king. And David cried to the people, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, Axi- iswnest thou not, Abner? David shouted so loudly that the entire army could hear him, but he address- ed only the general of the army; of course he wanted all to hear, and es- pecially Saul. Then Abner answered and said, Who art thou that criest to the king? And. Saul knew David's voice. He had good reason to know it, for that voice had often pierced through the clouds of Saul's moody madness, and brought the clear sunshine to his darkened mind. And said, is this thy. voice, my son David? Saul had been as a father to David, and indeed he. was David's father-in-law, though he had sent David away from his home and from IVlichal, his beloved wife. At the sound of David's voice, old memories revived, and Saul's former affection for .David came back in a flood upon his easily shifting mind.' surance of his loyalty. Then said Saul, I -have sinned. Da- vid, with all the. eloquence of his na- tural gift, enhanced by the deep feel- ing inspired by the occasion, had pleaded, with the king for a", return to his former kindness. Return, my son David; for I will no more do thee harm. Return to the camp and then to the court; return to your wife and 6 your positipn as my son-in-law— an invitation which Saul emphasizes by again calling him "my son David. Because my life was precious in thine eyes this day. Saul was quick to per- ceive what had happened, the more because it was essentially a repetition of what had occurred before.

"One man who should knew the, ef- fect of the Northern Lights on radio is Donald McMillan who passed right. under the aurora display during his trip to the Arctic and reported that it had no effect on. static. "Referring again to cycles of poor radio reception, the theory has been advanced that abnormally large dis- turbances on the sun have been ac- companied by violent expulsions of tremendous clouds of electrons. In order to understand how radio chan- nels may be affected when these ex- tra xtra electrons are shot off from the sun, we must first take into consid- eration the theory devised by the late Oliver Heavyside, This theory assumes that should a person ascend through the earth's atmosphere he would eventually reach a point at which the atmospheric pressure is so slight that the gas becomes a good conductor of electricity, hence a good reflector of radio waves. "Thus we can consider the earth as being surrounded by a reflecting medium. Near the earth is more air, which is a conductor in the daytime and an insulator during the night, because during the daytime the son's rays ionize the air. The reflecting medium can then be considerably downward, or as being nearer the earth's surface during the daytime than, it is at night, for after the sun sets deionization occurs in all the lower atmosphere and there is left the upper layer, or shell, surrounding the earth. Heavyside then assumes that radio waves glide along the in- side of this shell for great distances with very little loss. The irregulari- ties of reception are accounted for by the changes in the Heavyside layer. Changes in signal strength at a given point are accounted for in this way, "Probably the best indication _we. have `of the existence of this so-called Heavyside layer is the aurora boreal- is display. This display,' as observed. by the inclividual,• may be merely an indication that the Fleavyside layers or eiectrott-charged ' atmosphere, a hundred or more miles above the earth's surface really exists.At any rate, whether the aurora borealis a15� pears or not, the electrical Condition curses and taunts upon him, Abishai asked permission to go and cut off his head. Then again David quieted him and refused to allow such a re- venge to be taken. And I will not smite him the second time. That is, one spear thrust would be enough, he would not need a second stroke to kill him. David's Mercy and Wisdom. And. David said to Abishai, Destroy him not. 'For who can put forth his hand against Jehovah's anointed,. and be guiltless? David himself, as well as Saul, was the Lord's anointed. Da- vid felt keenly the sanctity of the high calling into which he had been ad- witted, and knew well that he could afford to wait long for the throne rather than diminish its authority and sacredness by an act of violence against it. And David said, as Jehovah liveth, Jehoyah will smite hint. "God is not dead;" said David, in effect. 'feho- vah does not need our help to punish the guilty. Vengeance is the Lord's, and Ile will repay." Or his day shall come to die. Saul was by no means an old man, but he was older than David and would probably die before him. Or he shall go down into battle, and ^pierish. David had seen many men die in battle; and tlibugh the per- son of the king was shielded as much as possible, yet it was the custom for monarchs to lead their armies in per- son, and a seasoned warrior like Saul would often find himself in the thick of the fray; where his identity would soon .beknown and the attack would focus upon him, or where a chance arrow or javelinmightfind his heart. Jehovah forbid that I ,,should put. forth my hand against Jehovah's an- oirtted, This double reference to Je- hovah shows what was uppermost in David's reverent wind -not consider- ations of worldly policy, though these coincided with his decision, but the religious motive, a glad surrender of the whole matter into the hands of God.

(Inset) -Farm clearing on Vancouver Island lessness of a camper, and could have been prevented had he stopped for a minute or two and thrown a few pails of water on the smouldering embers. They camper who fails to take this slight precaution is guilty of a great crime against his country. The introduction of aeroplanes into the fire patrol work in the north is proving of inestimable value to the country. The great advance that has been made in forest fire fighting today is through the fact that fire -detection and fire -suppression have been separated through the use of the scout planes. Formerly there could scarcely be a : division of labor. Rangers were assigned to long beats which might take a fortnight to cover, who patrolled these singly or in two as cir- cumstances warranted. It will thus be seen how limited would be the protection thus afforded for if the ranger dseovered a fire too large for one man to handle it might talee a week for him to communicate with headquarters for help. The Canadian Pacific Railway Company have paid special attention to this, serious question and hava adopted most up-to-date fife fighting apparatus. Tn order to eliminate fires along their lines through sparks frons engines, the right of ways are carefully cleared of anything inflammable, such as long grass and underbrush During the passage of the com- pany's trains through; the mountain regions where the forests are heavy, oil -burning engines are used, thus entirely eliminating the danger of fires. The mechanical equipment maintained at convenient points by . the C.P.R. consists' of a number of tank ear units and hose. Each unit consists of two ears with a eapaeity of 7;000 gallons each, equipped with powerful pumps and about a utile of hose. Through the co-operation of the railway with the. various provineial forces many serious fires have been prevented, resulting in an enormous saving c Cariadiz ixt natural wealth. The forest fire situation in Canada during 1926 again proved a very serious one. Indifference, ignorance and carelessness, and other malevolent forces meant a total loss and gross damage to Canada last year estimated at $1,468,343. Since the exploita- tion of Canadian forests first began it is estimated that from four to five times ,the amount of timber actually used has been burned through forest fires. When it is realized that the forests are the second greatest source of wealth, agriculture being first, the waste from forest fires each year can only be likened to the damage done, if four-fifths of Canada's great field cropswere destroyed each year. Forest week has been observed this year in Canada from April 25 to 30, coming in the middle of the season when forest fires are often most serious. Perhaps the greatest offenders against thenational wealth of the country during ,the summer and fall months are a great army of tourists and campers which invades the woods from the Pacific to the Atlantic every year: "Stop 1 Before You Go, See that Your Fire is Out." Warnings worded something to that effect have been posted generously throughout the northern woods, especially in Ontario, and of the thousands of campers there are none who aro not familiar with the bright yellow placard and its warning. Yet a good de- plorable number of tourists who call themselves g campers apparently think that, such signs have been postedby the fire rangers Merely to point out a good portage. ry vs' rind cigarette stubs and, above 'Burning cigar ends'and all, the little camp fire that doesn't look as theugh it could do a bit Of harm in the world, are the edits of great fires throughout the northern wands that stoat a' loss of millions annually to Canada.
