Nine Ceraski of Moscow has discov-
cred in the constellation Cygnus star
of between the eighth and ninth mag
nitude which undergoes wonderful va
riations in its light. 1t belongs to the
same type of variable stars as the cele-
brated Algol. but it's variation is lar
ger. Its period is days. 10 hours
and 45 minutes. When at minimum.
it is three magnitudes fainter than
when at maximum. In other words.
it periodically loses and then regains
so much light that at one time it is
16 times brighter than ut another. In
stars of this type the changes of light
are supposed to be caused by dark
body revolving around the star and
producing eclipses as it comes within

The Moons Attraction.

At the mathematical and physical
science section of the British associa-
ton Professor Threlfall described an
exceedingly delicate gravity balance
which enabled him tc determine the
changes in the value of gravity due to
the moons attraction. The apparatus
consists of horizontally stretched
quartz fiber which carries at it's center
a loaded light wire at right angles to
it's length. The fiber is twisted until
the wire is only just in stable equili-
brium and then a small change in the
value of gravity will cause it to tilt
through a measurable angle. By this
means he could detect changes in gray
ity which amount to less than two
millionths of the whole acceleration of
gravity. The short pendulums used in
United States coast survey gave results
accurate to four parts in million.

Milford, Mass. July 3l.-General
VIM. L. Draper, United States ambas-
sador to Italy, who recently arrived
home, when informed of the assassin
alton of King Humbert, was very
much affected.
This must hays been the work OF
anarchists" said he. Sat the time of
the attack on the empress of Austria
King Humbert was cautioned to be
more careful of his safety, but he
said: 4 must take my chances, for
that's part of the trade of kings He
wa a man of most invincible courage.
1t was his daily habit to drive about
Rome entirely unattended"
The ambassador said Humbert was
very popular with all his subjects ex-
cept those opposed to all government,
all extremists and clericals, and add
ed: "All the world sympathizes with
Queen Margherita in her grief"
'"rhe heir to the throne, the prince
of Naples, is an exceedingly able man
and it is my belief that in his hands
the government of Italy will go on
without a break"
