Astronomers are not vet ali agreed rs
10 the causes of the variations OF color
and briIliancy which are exhibited hv
many stars In the constellation c.
pheuS, in the northern skv. there is n
star named Delta Cephei. which in the
course Of about three days alternately
gains and loses large part of its light.
The spectroseope has proved that Delta
tephei consists OF two stars revolving
around one another in a very eIliptical
orbit, although they never get far
enough apart TO be separately visible
from the earth. Even when view ed " 18th
telescope their light is blended into
single star disk. although If we could
20 near enough TO them we should find
that they are. in reality, millions OF
miles apart. When brightest. the united
light of the twin stars is two or three
times greater than when faintest. One
of the explanations recently offered bv
astronomers TO account for these
changes is that one of the stars commas
ing Delta Cephei has a very thick At
mospheric veil. consisting Of clouds 81
condensed metallic vapors. and thar
when the stars draw near one another
IN their orbital motion the increase Of
heat dissipates the obscuring veil. and
permits the star to which il belongs to
shine with splendor that il cannot OH
tain when its rays are interrupted oy its
envelope Of clouds. I; is hard 20 he

The result of the recent census shows
that during the last five years the popu
lStiOn has increased somewhat less rap.
idly than it did in the previous ten.
lssl-lS9l- The number of people turned
odt 10 lie some 5000 below the estimate
formed on the basis of 1891. The diff
ference is small, but important. as it
shows that the previous fail in the rate
IF increase is maintained. The popuIa-
ton is growing at less and less rapid
pace At the beginning of the century
II used 10 increase by more than 20 per
cent in the ten years between success
Sive cenSuscs: in issl-ls9l that rate had
fallen TO fO.4 per cent. the lowest on
record: and now IL is still less. The
movement Is not part of a general de-
cline; II IS peculiar to London. and
seems TO indicate that the huge over
growth of the metropolis has begun to
cure Itself. No town can z , on growing
indefinitely, and even Londou-mon-

slighter fall in the death rate from q. :
