Scientist May Have
Solved Mystery of
Northern Lights
NEW YORK, ’UP)—One mystery
of the dancing northern lights
may be solved, a University of
Maryland scientist said today.
These shadowy lights are be
lieved to be caused by atomic
particles — protons—racing from
the sun.
But, stated Dr. S. Fred Singer,
the question is: “Where did they
get their fantastic speeds?”
Clocking their flight earthward
from solar flares, the speed was
found to be 1,000 miles per sec
ond, Singer told a meeting of the
American Physical Society.
But measuring their action and
penetration of the atmosphere, he
said, they must have been travel
ing at least 10 times as fast —
10,000 miles per second.
One way they may build up
this enormous speed, he suggest
ed, is with the help of their fel
low protons and the earth’s mag
netic field.
1 He said he imagined these pro
tons bouncing back and forth in
the earth’s magnetic field from
one hemisphere to another — but
never quite reaching the atmos
phere.
While they are bouncing back
and forth, a large number of these
protons from the sun are sacri
ficing part of their energy to
speed up a few of their brethren.
Finally these souped-up pro
tons. burst out of this magnetic
trap and barge into the atmos
phere where they smash into
earthly atomic particles and cause
the northern lights, he said.
3 U.S.-Educated Chinese
Students Attempt to Kill
Premier Chou En-Lai
LONDON, UP)—The Manchester
Guardian Thursday reported that
three U.S.-educated Chinese stu
dents tried to assassinate Red
Chinese Premier Chou En-Lai
last July 28.
The Guardian said it obtained
the information from a young
Chinese, now in England who was
in China at the time and was
associated indirectly with the
assassination attempt.
The informant, who was refer
red to by the pseudonym “Mr.
Li,” said that although Chou es
caped with his life, there were
indications that he was wounded
or at least suffered from shock.
The three would-be killers were
executed, “Li” said.
