One of the greatest authorities on the Aurora Australis and magnetic storms is Mr E. N. Webb, who was chief magnetician of the Australian - Antarctic Expedition led by Sir Douglas Mawson, 1911-14, and who afterwards served with the Australian Engineers of the A.1.E., winning the M.C. and D.S.O. and the rank of major. Throughout his three years’ sojourn in the Antarctic Mr Webb studied especially the phenomena of magnetic storms and tle> Aurora Australis. In an interxiew with a “Post” reporter, Mr Webb stated that Sunday night’s display was one of the most brilliant ever seen in these latitudes. It had all the characteristics of the most active forms of auroral display. Only in intensity and in the diffusion of the light and colouring did the local phenomenon differ from those seen in the Antarctic. Practically all auroral displays were accompanied by greater or lesser magnetic disturbances. For Children’s Hacking Cough, Wood ’ Great Peppermint Cure,
