THE WONDERS OF SCIENCE.

The rapid progress in the Science that
deals with light and the closer observa-
ton of the heavenly bodies is illustrated
in facts lately made public in new work
on spectrum analysis, giving u history and
progress of the Investigations made in its
application to terrestrial substances and
the physical condition of heavenly bodies.
In the work some of the triumphs of the
spectroscope are given and they read
more like demonstrations of supernatural
power than the actual triumphs of science.
Some time in May, 1866, what was sup
posed to be a new star of the second mag
nitude was observed in the constellation
CorneaIIorealis.T This star was observed from
various parts of Europe, and the discov-
cry heralded through astronomical circles.
One singular feature reported in connec-
ton with il, was that it varied materially
in brightness, decreasing from the time ii
was first observed "a star of the second
magnitude to one of about the ninth mag
nitude before the end of the month. The
second night after its first appearance as a
very brilliant body, its light was examined
by Professor Higgins, in England, with
a spectroscope. The examination resulted
in the following explanation of the pheno-
menon:
THAT in consequence of some internal con-
vulsion enormous quantities of hydrogen and
other gases were evolved which, in combining
with some other elements, ignited on the sur
face of the other star and thus enveloped the
whole body suddenly in sheet of fame. The
ignited hydrogen gas and its combination with
some other element produced the light charac-
terzed by the Two bright bands in the red and
green; the remaining bright lines, among
which those of oxygen might have been expect
ed were not coincident with any of the lines of
this gas. 50 As the liberated hydrogen gas
became exhausted, the flame gradually abated,
with the consequent cooling the photosphere be-
came less vivid and the star returned to its ORR
ginal condition.
In commenting upon the truths thus
evolved, the New York Post says "they
are wonderful, but when we remember
that light itself takes many years to come,
even from stars of the second magnitude,
and that this very event in the stars of the
Northern Crown must have taken place,
and the light which revealed it to us have
started on its Grant, lat time when spec
rum analysis was yet quite unknow II,
does not diminish the wonder.
