docs Arcturns appear to be getting
whittier or hotter?"
ut has seemed to me for some years that
Arcturus was getting whittier. Possibly this
i'd not SO, but there is nothing in the history
of the stars to lead US to suppose that it is
impossible. Perhaps in the course of a few
centuries Arcturus may change color-may
get rid of some portion of it's envelope
through processes unknown to US, and then
blaze out with redoubled brilliance."
"Would not that make it unpleasant for
the inhabitants of the planets of Arcturus.
to say nothing of those of Arcturus itself?''
1.-THE effect upon the inhabitants of the
gigantic planets which we have supposed
revolving around that star would undoubt-
eddy be disastrous, Just as the effect of a
velope~ surrounding the sun would result in
destroying life upon the earth.
ut is these changes which are continu-
ally going on among the stars, and which
show that there is a progress of the sums in
which no attention is paid to the exigencies
of life upon the planets revolving around
them, that give the greatest interest to the
study of astronomy in our day."
