AN ECCENTRIC STAR.
Polaris' Movements Arc Affected BY Star,
That Are Invisii,la

Polsris' Movements Arc Affected by Starr
That Arc Invisible.
How the existence Of an invisible
celestial body may be revealed through
the spectroscope is explained by Prot.
w. w. Campbell. Of the Lick Observa-
tory, in giving an account Of his recent
discovery that Polaris, or the North
Star, is a triple system. The shifting
Of the lines Of the spectrum Of the star
enables US to detercsine, he says,
whether the star is approaching or re-
ceding from Us, and how rapidly. Re
cent observations of Polaris, made
with spectograph attached to the
thirty-six-inch telescope, show that its
velocity is variable. 1t approaches the
solar system now with a velocity Of
five miles per second. This will in
crease in two days to eight and three
quarters miles, and in the next two
days will decrease until it again be-
comes five miles. This cycle Of change
is repeated every four days. The only
explanation of this movement is that
the star s circ1ing in an orbit which
is turned toward us more or less edge
wise, and it can circle thus only be-
cause 1t is associated with some other
body, the two revolving about their
common center of gravity, like the
balls of a dumbbell tossed into the
air. The orbit is nearly circular and
is comparable in size with the moons
orbit around the earth. The center OF
gravity, and. therefore, the binary sys-
tenn, is approaching the solar system at
present with velocity of seven and
one-1fth miles per second. In 1896 1t
was approaching at the rate Of twelve
and one-half miles per second. A part
Of this change Of velocity since 1886
may be due to a change in the posi-
tons of the orbits of the binary sys-
TEN, but the most Of it must have been
produced by the attraction of third
body on the two bodies composing the
four-day system. The period Of the
revolution of the binary system around
the center of gravity Of itself and the
third body is not known, but is prob
ably many years. Both companions OF
Polaris are invisible, but their ex-
istence is proved by the disturbances
which their attractions produce in the
motion Of Polaris.

he had pains like rheumatism in the back.

distress after eating. poor appetite and loss

Il gave him powerful nerve tonics and
blood remedies, but to no purpose. AS an

drug store and gave them to him. Almost
immediate relief was given and after he
had used four boxes he was to all appear
ances fully cured.
There was no more acidity or sour wa
terry risings no bloating after meals the
appetite was vigorous. and he has gained
between ten and twelve pounds in weight
of solid, healthy flesh.
Although Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are
advertised and sold in drug stores vet I
consider them a most valuable addition to
any PHYSICIANS line of remedies. as they
are perfectly harmless and can be given to
children or invalids or in any condition of
