The Heat Of Stars.

Some scientific measurements of the
heat of stars in recent years, while
giving somewhat unsatisfactory results
as regards the direct purpose of the
tests, have shown the exceeding deli
cacy of the instruments now en-
ployed for indicating heat effects.
Prof. Boys describes his attempts to
detect heat radiations from the stars
by means of an exceedingly delicate
radiometer, used in conjunction with
a sixteen-inch rejecting telescope. In
spite of the fact that his apparatus
was sensitive enough to show the heat
equivalent to that of a candle LII
miles away, no effect whatever could
be obtained from Venus, Jupiter, Sat
urn, Mars, Arcturus, Capella, Vega or
any of the numerous bright stars said
to have been obtained many years ago
by Huggins and Stone with compare
lively insensitive apparatus. Further
Investigations were undertaken by
Prof.. Nichols at the Yerkes Observa-
tory, Wisconsin. The tests were made
with an improved radiometer of re-
markable constituencies. The radio
meter, stably mounted on a heavy
pier in the heliostat room Of
the observatory, was effectively
shielded from air currents and
other sources of disturbances. The in
struments consisted of a suspension
system formed of two mica discs, each
Two millimeters in diameter, ~blackened
On the face and supported on a light
cross arm on either side of a thin
glass staff, hung by an extremely fine
quartz fiber in a partial vacuum. Both
vanes were exposed to the radiation
of the sky, at the focus Of a silvered
aperture and eight feet focus. Rays
from the star were reflected into
the concave mirror by of a side
rostat having a large, plane mirror OF
silvered glass. The rays entered the
radiometer through a fluorite window.
With this apparatus a DETECTION of OIL
millimeters would be given by a candle
thirteen miles away. Prof. Nichols
radiometer is five times as sensitive as
that used by Prof. Boys, and the area
Of his telescope mirror is "a times
that of the mirror used by Boys.
Seven determinations of the heat vari-
atoms Of Arcturus gave a NEAR de-
lection Of 900 milimeters. Vega was
also observed on seven nights, and
gave a mean detection of OFT milli-
meters. The results appear to be
trustworthy, and establish the fact
that the heat of some stars may be de-
termined with a fair approach to ac-
curacy, although many sources Of err
ror exist, the actual value of which has
not yet been established. The test.
however, may reasonably be consid-
sred to show that we do not receive
from Arcturus more heat than would
reach US from a candle at a distance
Of five or six miles, no account being
taken in the latter case of atmosphere
absorption.

Platinum G10otFod0 Arc LAHpe.
An entirely new departure in the
construction Of arc lamps is disclosed
In q recent patent granted to an in
ventor Of New York. This lamp COM
bines the essential features Of the In
candescent lamp and those Of the IA
miliar arc lamp, the exhausted inclos-
Ing globe of one and the arc sprung
between two electrodes Of the other.
The electrodes are composed Of plati-
mum and gold, fused together in a
manner described by the inventor. and
these are supported by magnets and
plungers so as normally to remain in
contact with each other when no cur
rent is passing, but to automatically
strike an arc when the lamp is thrown
onto the circuit. The peculiar hori-
sontal arrangement Of the quadant-
shaped electrodes is shown in the
illustration. The chamber in which
the arc Is maintained being highly

Fireproof Cloth.

In order to prevent the rapid spread
Of flames in theaters and places OF
residence some attempt has been made
to substitute draperies of asbestos for
those usually employed as curtains and
decorations. The weight and cost OF
that material, however, to say. moth
ing Of other objections, have inter-
fered with its use for this purpose.
And a wish has long been entertained
for a method of rendering ordinary
materials f1reproof that shall be sim
pie and inexpensive, thus making pos
sible the retention of the silk, wooden
and cotton fabrics now in favor. Such
a process is now reported from Ger
many. The exact nature of the chemi-
Gals utilized in this operation is not
made known, but the American consul
at Freiburg sends to Washington a re-
port on the subject. Samples OF the
preparation having been procured, the
consul tried a few experiments. Cloth
that had been treated with the 6uid
in question and dried was thrust into
a candle flame. The result was that
the goods were charred. but they did
not take fire. Kerosene was then
poured on a piece of material that had
been dipped in the preparation. When
a match was applied to it the oil would
burn, but not the cloth. A bit Of wood
wrapped in cloth that had been treated
with the preparation was protected
from fire when placed on the Goals OF
a furnace. When bunting or lace cur
tafns have been im%pregnated with the
fluid and dried an addition of less than
/ per cent of the weight can be de-
tected. The increase cost amounts to
about 8 cents a square yard when work
is done on a small scale and less when
operations are conducted on a whole
sale plan. The strength and color OF
a fabric are said to be absolutely un-
touched by the process.-Memphis

far end the music stopped. The girl
sprang from Jacks arms, looked at
him abashed. Just then Mrs. Dennis,
who lived upstairs, came along.
"Mrs. Dennis" whispered Jack, ''who

wrath which the Whimpetts and Hen

outrageous offspring. But that did not
keep roses from being thrown over the

their way to her hand, and ultimately
to her mouth. And to cap 1t all, one
