Astronomical Problems.

Some time ago Professor Darwin of
Cambridge pointed out that if a star
revolved ON it's axis with a certain We
locity, that Of a few hours, the star
would tend to divide into two, and the
form it would take before complete
separation would be that of dumb
bell or rather of two pears Joined top
to top. This deduction was purely the
oretical. During the past two years an
examination of the light changes of
some recently discovered variable stars
reveals this very condition of things.
For example, one star in the southern
sky goes through certain regular Sc
ries of light changes in seven hours,
and an examination of these light
changes indicates that the star is a
twin system, the two bodies composing
it being in contact. This dumbbell SyS-
TEN revolves round their common cen
ter in seven hours, the most absolute
confirmation of the theoretical cOnclu-
sions. Then there is another variable
star in the southern sky the light
changes of which show that the two
stars composing the system are no lon
ger in contact. Separation has just
taken place, the nexus between them
is broken, and two worlds. full born,
have started on that outward spiral
which in the course Of ages will carry
them far remote from one another

Nelson told the men the story of how
he began just five weeks ago. The old
mans voice steadied as he went On,
and he grew eager as he told how ne
had been helped and how the world
was all different and his heart seemed
new. He spoke of his Friend as if he
were some one that could be seen out
at camp, that he knew we'll and met
every day.
But as he tried to say how deeply he
regretted that he had not known all
this years before, the old, hard face be-
gan to culver, and the steady voice
wavered Then he pulled himself to-
gether and said:
Il begin to feel sure he'll pull me
through-me, the hardest man in the
mountains! So don't you fear. boys.
He's all right
Then the men gave in their names
one by one. When it came to Geordie's
turn, he gave his name:

Kilsyth, Scotland, an yell juist pit
