When the aurora borealls, or ??north-' ern lights," pay us a visit there' Is trouble on all the telegraph and tele phone lines. The reason for this seems to be that the aurora borealts, which Is really an unusual electric emanation from the sun, sets up ab normal earth currents. The- strength of these currents has been measured many times and found to have a poten tial varying between 425 voltfc positive and 225 volts negative and a resist ance of about 2,000 ohms. Donald McNlcol, assistant electrical engineer of the Postal Telegraph com pany, who has given much study to this subject, made an official report in 1892, quoted in the Electrical Experi menter, Jn which he described the ef fects of earth currents on the ten At lantic cables then In existence. Most affected was that from Brest to Mique lon Island, and the disturbances weife greater at the western than at the eastern end, so that often St. Pierre could send messages to Brest but could not receive any. Long cables were more affected than short ones, southerly ones more than northerly ones, and the abnormal cur rents seemed to travel mostly from east to west. Sometimes the earth cur rents are so strong that they Injure tl\e condensers;* But they are most erratic In their nature and behavior. The First Romanoff. Romanoff Is the name of the Bus sfep Imperial dynasty regnant In the Male line from 1613 to 1780, and thenceforward In the female line. Con stant Intermarriages with German princely hrfuses, however, have made the Bom an off strain of today more German than Russian. Nay ; the old' est ancestor of house of Roman off. Andrew KotUi.ls said to have come to Moscow from Prussia K1341>. The name Romanoff was given to the family by the boyar Roman Yurle vltch, the fifth of direct descent from Andrew, who succeeded In getting a female member of his family on the throne of the czars by marrying his daughter to Ivan the Terrible. In February, 1618, Mikhael Feodorvltch Romanoff, a boy of seventeen, was pro claimed czar, grand duke and futocrat of all the Russlas In the Red square of Moscow. With this accession to the throne of the famous, or rather 111 famed, dynasty begin a 304 years' misrule that ? let us hope ? has ended forever with the forced abdication of Oxar Nicholas, In March, 1917.
