In with the news that the Austrians
were near at hand.

and in a few minutes were in rapid

their dispatch. hurried to such purpose
that they failed to secure the skin Of

1.-THE NEW STAR"
Some Unexpected and Very Startling
Changes Detected.

Some Unexpected and Very Startling
Changes Detected.
A little over a year ago the most re-
markable new or temporary STAR. OF
modern times appeared in the constel-
lation Perseus. The star was not In
any catalogue, and two days before dis.
coyery 1t was not bright enough to be
shown on a Photographic plate Of the
region containing stars which have but
one-hundredth of the light given out by
the faintest star visible to the naked
eye. On Feb. %, two days after the
discovery, 1t reached Its greatest
brightness, when it was az bright as
CapelIa, the third star in order OF
brightness in the whole heavens. 1t
waned slowly and with several we'll
marked fluctuations In its light, and In
two months was on the limit Of visibil-
ity with the naked eye. 1t is still easily
visible in telescopes Of small size. Dur
ing its decrease in brightness 1t changed
color from white to dull red, and ls now
somewhat greenish In tint The spec
trum was at first continuous, such as is
given by the light from a glowing solid
or liquid body or from a gas under
pressure; then bright bands were
formed, which later assumed the form
and position of the bands In the spectra
Of nebulae. ALI these changes were ex-
pected, as they followed closely the his
tory Of similar stars in recent years.
But within few months most unex-
pected and startling changes have Oc-
Cured which have made the star once
more the chief object Of interest in the
sky. The nebula which surrounds the
star, or into which the star has been
changed. has been successfully photo
graphed at several observatOries which
are equipped with telescopes of great
power. and it contains several centera
Of condensation whose positions are
shifting so rapidly that their motion
can be detected in photographs taken
but several days apart. Careful at
tempts to determine the parallax of the
star shows that 1t is inappreciabIe; the
star, therefore, Is at a very great dis
tance from the earth. There seems to
be no doubt that the actual motion In
the nebula is greater than anything
heretofore detected. The velocity must
be as great as that which light travels
and the nature Of such a motion is as
mysterious as that Of light itself.
Already the theories which attempt
to account for the birth and life history
Of the various bodies in the universe
are being remodeled to include these
newly discovered facts, and the new
theories will probably suffer later re-
lection when more facts are found
which conflict with them. The mys-
tertes Of the universe become more un.
fathomable the deeper we are permit
ted to explore them, and as knowledge
increases the extent of that which still
remains to be explained increases also.

dence Journal.

a FARMERS EXPERIENCE.
How Many Bundles Can Ysu Bind Tor
Dollar7


To the Editor Dear Sir-I noticed
in your last issue an article headed
Points on Binding Twine," in which
you call attention to the fact that the
farmer should figure on how many feet
he gets for dollar. Anyone, without
much thought, would know that is the
important thing, and still we overlook
it, being caught by the old bait OF
cheap price. 1t is not question
whether the twine costs 10 cents q
pound or 20 cents a pound, but the es-
sential point is how many bundles can
We bind for dollar.
Last year | was deceived in thinking
that the Standard Manila was Manila
twine that would 90 600 feet to the
pound, which impression l got from
the dealer, although he may not posi-.
lively have stated that as fact. but
one thing do know is that the result
at the end OF harvest was that the total
cost OF my twine was more, although it
was less in price per pound than it for.
merly had been when used the Red
Clover Leaf brand of Twne, which we
all know costs more per pound, but
which | am now convinced is the
cheapest and most satisfactory in the
end. We have all used it for a good
many years with pretty general satis-
faction, but, in this as in other things.
we ieel that it is necessary to make a
change, in order, as we imagine, to bet.
ter our condition, and most generally
find that the change does not accom-
plish what we expected.
The Manila twine, being cheaper per
thousand feet than Sisal, from patriotic
motives we ought to use it, as all the
Manila fiber in the world is produced
in the Philippine Islands, and it is GER
tainly to the interest OF the Pacific
Coast farmerto develop trade with that
country as much as possible, and
have read that all the SisaI comes from
Yucatan, with which country we can
have no trade from this coast, and as
long as it does not cost us anything to
be patriotic and trade with our own col
Onies, why shouldn't We do it?
