Newport Is la Danger Of Being Overruv

Social prophets are beginning to say
that Newport will not long hold its
own as the most exclusive OF Ameri-

them has yet named place likely to

been touched on at all, says the New
York Sun. They assert that the Rhode

Saratoga and Long Branch and thus
lose Its character through precisely the
same causes that deprived these places
of their former glory. They call at.

why They Are Particularly Interesting
to the Astronomers.
The problems presented by the group
OF stars known as the Pleiades are
among the most interesting in astron-
omy. 1t can have been no mere chance
that has massed them from among
their fellow-stars. Men of ordinary
eye-sight see but a half dozen distinct
objects In the cluster; those of acuter
vision can count fourteen, but 1t Is
not until We apply the space-penetrat-
ing power of the telescope that we
realize the extraordinary scale upon
which the system of the Pleiades Is
constructed. With the Paris instru-
ment Wolf in 1876 catalogued 625 stars
In the group; and the Photographic
suryey of Henry in 1887 revealed no
less than 1926 distinct stars within
and near the filmy gauze Of nebulous
matter always so conspicuous a fea-
ture of the Fieiades. The Pleiad stars
are among those for which no meas
urement of distance has yet been made,
40 that We do not know whether they
are all equally far away from us. We
see them projected on the dark back
ground of the celestial vault; and can
not tell from actual measurement
whether they are all situated at the
same point in space, but we may con-
ciude on general principles that the
gathering of so many objects into
single close assemblage denotes COM
munity of origin and interests. The
Pleiades then really belong to one an
other. What is the nature OF theiI
mutual tie? What is their mystery
and can we solve It? The most OBJ
yious theory Is, Of course, suggested by
what we know to be true within ouI
own solar system. We owe to New
ton the beautiful conception of gravi
tation, that unique law by means ol
