only course left To mollusk In such

"nacre." In consequence of this many
things happen inside the shell. among
them pretty frequently the birth of

why the 'nacre" is so beautifully

the property OF producing what are
scientifically known as interference"

In discussing the wonderful discov-
cry OF helium, an element OF the sun,
now known TO exist in certain rare min
erals on the earth, Mr.. Loclxyer, the
English astronomer, calls attention TO
the fact that some stars, or suns, are
hotter than others, and that the hot
test of all stars have atmospheres con-
sisting almost entirely OF hydrogen and
helium. The earth, which was once it
self little sun, has plenty of hydro
gen, but apparently very little helium.
Yet, Mr.. Lockyer remarks, the earth
"once had an atmosphere just as gIori-
Gus In its hydrogen and It's helium M

Gus. What has become OF that hell
um?" This question, he thinks. will

useful work with X rays. He is said ~

forms of vacuum tubes in order to find
sut which was the most efiicacious in
producing those rays and he also tried
great variety of chemicals in order to
ascertain which would be most service

will be remembered that X rays are en-
pable of producing two effects. One Is
to impress n Photographic sensitive
plate, the other is TO make certain sub

Why, then, now belittle republican
