Taken ‘suddenly ill Mr. Black was removed to Kirkland District Hospitâ€" al, where he died early Sunday mornâ€" ing. The funeral was held from O. W. Allen‘s funeral parlours on Monâ€" day, July 25th, Rev. J. D. Anderson officiating. Born in the city . Toâ€" ronto, Mr. Black spent most of his earlier life there. About 30 years ago he started north and for years followâ€" ed the occupation of a prospector. He was one of the first prospectors aâ€" round Cobalt, and there is hardly a mining camyp in the North Country toâ€" day that he did not go prospecting in. Three years ago he came to Kirkland ‘‘After an illness of about one week, Mr. Sam Black, who has been a resndent of Inkland Lake for about three years, passed away in his 65th vear. sident of Timmins, spending the most of his time here for several years. He had many friends here who will deeply regret his death, as he was popular and well liked by those who knew ‘him.

These northern lights are believed to be due to clouds of celectrons shot off from the sun, causâ€" ing ionization in the rare upper atâ€" mosphere. _ The aurora is generally accompanied by large disturbing curâ€" rents on the earth‘s surface effecting land telegraph lines and ocean cablesl which use the earth as a return path. These wandering ecurrents appear to be of low frequency and, therefore would not directly affect radio recepâ€" tion, such as in the case of static. ‘‘There is on record at the headâ€" 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 Terriâ€" tory, to the effect that on more than one occasion he had splendid reception at that point from CNRA (Moneton, N.B.); CNRO, (Ottawa) and other stations in Canada and the United States during periods when the auâ€" rora was particularly brilliant. Ewan answered the question by say # ing :â€" hm e e e e Et I 4 For a considerable time some radio fans have had a hazy idea that the presence of the Northern Lights in the sky meant more or less interferâ€" ence with the reception of radio. The aurora borealis bheing an electrical efâ€" fect, its presence meant electrical disâ€" turbance, and electrical disturbance means poor radio reception, This was the way the logic ran. However, the facts seem to be against this sort of logic. In this part of the North Land where radio reception is so good so frequently, the northern lights are often very pronounced. Several times this year in Timmins people have stood on street sharing their attention between listening to the wonderful radio coming in, and watchâ€" ing the still more wonderful northern lights in the sky. If there is ainy place where the effect of the northern lights on the reception of radio could be well studied it would seem to be here, for Timmins has lots of both adio and northern lights. Watching both radio and the northern lights it would seem that the ‘"‘*lights‘‘ have no effect on the radio here.

MeEwan, Director of Radio, Canaâ€" _ dian National Railways, in an endeaâ€" vyour to reach some solution of a proâ€" blem which has caused a great deal of discussion. Mr. MeEwan was apâ€" proached because his department has unusual opportunities for observing the manifestations of the northern lights, and the effect of the phenoâ€" mena on reception apparatus. During a peariod of three years logs have been prepared daily by operators in charge of receiving sets on Canadian National trains, an averâ€" age of 120 such reports being filed each week dealing with reception con. ditions across Canada from the At. lantic to the Pacific, this material being obtained from the performance of sets installed on the principal trains of the Canadian National Sysâ€" tem. f | Out of his own personal experience, amplified by the observations conâ€" tained in the train radio logs, Mr. Mecâ€" Just write to The Borden Co,.

Boarder,. ‘‘Yes; but I‘m not a cat!‘‘ â€"The Bookan Wrap } **One of the most remarkable cases of modern surgery saving lives that l 1as yet come to the attention of Rouynâ€" rans occurred last week, when Dr. R. M. K. Rudd, assisted by Dr. Cartier, performed an operation that saved the life of Henri Dubois, 17 years of age. Dr. Rudd was called to the Dubois home at midnight and found the lad suffering with an acute case of appenâ€" dicitis and a temperature of 104. At 3 a.m. the youth was taken to the hosâ€" pital, where Dr. Rudd operated. _ It was found that the appendix had adâ€" hered to the back abdominal wall and it burst while the surgeons were reâ€" moving it. Although this is known to be the most dangerous operation of its kind that surgeons are called upon to perform, the patient was back to norâ€" mal in two days and is now out of the hospital and will soon be at work aâ€" gain.‘‘ e Boarder: ‘‘Look here, this is disâ€" gusting.

Nearâ€" ly every ecamp has examples of this fact. Probably the most interesting sample of the idea in the Poreupine Camp was the case of amputation handled by Dr. MeInnis. Immediate amputation was absolutely necesâ€" sary, yet there were noâ€"_ reâ€" gular instruments available. The use of a meat saw was resorted to, and by serupulous care and attenâ€" tion the injured Iumberman‘s leg was successfully cut off and the man was saved from déath and eventually made UNUSUAL OPERATION BY DOCTORS IN ROUYN CAMP The conclusions to6 be drawn from the foregoing are that while the Auâ€" rora 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 no affect radio, and, therefore, there is certain relation between them *Probably the best indication we have of the existence of this soâ€"called Heavyside layer is the aurora borealis display. This display as observed by the individual, may be merely an inâ€" dication that the Heavyside layer, or electronâ€"charged atmosphere, a hunâ€" dred or more miles above the earth ‘sg surface really exists. At any rate, whether the aurora borealis appears or not, the electrical condition of the Heavyside layer seems to affect the transmission of radio_ frequency waves.‘‘ ‘‘Referring again to cycles of poor radio reception, the theory has been advanced that abnormally large disâ€" turbances on the sun have been acâ€" companied by violent expulsions of tremendous clouds of electrons. _ In order to understand how radio chanâ€" nels may be affected when there extra electrons ars shot off from the sun, we must first take into consideration the theory devised by the late Oliver Heavyside. This theory assumes that should a person ascend through the earth‘s atmosphere he would evenâ€" tually reach a point at which the atâ€" mospheric 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. â€" Near the earth is more air, which is a conductor in the daytime and an insulator during the night, beâ€" cause during the daytime the sun‘s ‘ays 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 deâ€"ionization 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 inside of this shell for great distances with very little loss. The irregularities 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. ‘*‘One man who should know the effect of the northern lights on radio is Donald (MecMillan who passed right under the aurora display during his trip to the Arctic and reported that it had no effect on static. casting and the reception at distant places.
