THE NEW STAR IN PERSEUS

IN TRECTOR CAMPBELL, of the
Lick Observatory. in a recent
paper on the operation of as
.tronomers in the lse of their instruments
of research, says:
Perhaps the most interesting astro-
nomical events of recent years relate to
the new star in Perseus, discovered IN
Edinburgh on February %, 1901. The Lick
Observatory, in common with all similar
institutions, made immediate plans 10
bring every available resource to bear
upon the study of this star. It's posi-
ton was measured by Mr. Tucker with
the meridian circle. and by Mr.. Aiken
with the thirty-six inch equatorial on
several occasions in the spring and sum
mer of 1901. It is clear from these OBJ
servations, amply confirmed by those
made elsewhere, that the new star is at
least as FAR away as the faint stars sur
rounding it, and that its motion with ref
erence to the surrounding stars is so
slight as 10 elude detection for the pres
ent. The spectroscopic observations by
Messrs. Campbell, Wright. Reese, and
stebbins were extremely fruitful in re-
suits.

in January, 1902, led to the discovery
that two rings of nebulosity surrounding
the new star were beautifully Recorded
on the plate of March % We we're thus
able TO extend the history OF the phen-
omenon backward five months.
The consensus of opinion is that the
new star is the result of a violent colli-
sion between two dark stars. or between
dark star and nebula. 1t can easily
be shown that the kinetic energy of two
such bodies, approaching and coIliding
with enormous relative speed. would be
converted into heat in sufficient .quanti-
ties to transform the dark bodies into
incandescent gases The history of prev
ious new stars had led US to expect
that the spectrum would gradually
change into that OF nebula. and in
this we were not disappointed For a
suitable study of the present nebuIar
spectrum of the new star it was neeas-
sary that further and more accurate in
Vestigations be made upon the spectra
OF the we'll known nebulae. These inves-
legations were undertaken with great
success by Assistant Astronomer
Wright. He determined the positions of
many well-known nebular lines mora
accurately than had previously been
done, and number of very Interest,"

cry of masses of nebulosity in the vi
entity of the new star. a photograph by
Ritchey, of the Yerkes Observatory, on
September 20 confirmed and extended the
discovery, showing that the new star
was apparently situated in nebuIous
mass nearly circular in form and Of
great extent The photograph of this
region made by Mr. Perrine with the
CrossIey reflector on November : and 8.
when compared with Ritchey's published
photograph of September 20. led TO the
extraordinary discovery that the well
defined nuclei in the nebula were ap-
rarently in rapid motion; the magni-
tude of the apparent motion being IT
least seventy-five times as great as any
sidereal motion previously known. TeIa-
graphic announcement of this discovery
was made at once, and intense interest
was taken in the subject. A photograph
made by Ritchey at the Yerkes Observ-
atory on November afforded full and
independent confirmation of Mr.. Per
rine's remarkable discovery. Photo
graphs made at intervals throughout
the winter have enabled us to follow
the motions of the brighter masses.

only trained to the walk. trot. canter
and gaIIop.
The English typical saddler appears to
be the thoroughbred. and F Vivian
Gooch, who knows more about the ideal
saddle horse than any man in this coun-
try. outlines his ideas as to the ideal
saddle horse as follows:
Il consider that the high-class rid
ing horse should be nearly or quite the
thoroughbred. with good shoulders, hone.
and substance. well balanced, carrying a
good head and tail. and have three good
PAGES, walk, trot, and canter. He should
be high couraged. but temperate. we'll

horse Mustello, the property of W.
Gaylor, the nearest approach to my ideal
of anything have seen during he two
years I judged saddlers at the National
Horse Show at New York"
Must Be Perfect Horse.
Here is the line definitely drawn! Not
rigidly in favor Of the full thorough
bred, but very nearly 50. The descrip-
ton embodies a wel-nigh perfect horse
as a saddler. and this undoubtedly is the
type to which the dealer must look if
he is reaching out for the export trade
to England Such a horse has lots of
individuality. and by the way he is han
died and treated is allowed to retain
them.
The horse for America and it's large
cities is widely different, and to push
the same type at haphazard TO meet
both demands is to achieve a certain
amount of trade, but not the maximum
in either direction. The criticism of Mr.
Gooch upon many of the horses sent
into the ring to him was that they were
not aaddlers al all, thus indicating the
lack Of practical k1iowlecge on the part
Of the owners. The horse shows all
over the country are slowly but surely

when the saddle horse is brought
forth from his stall, that his
master may enjoy a canter across green
fields and through shaded lanes, either
before the dull cares of business begin
or after Office hours as the case may be.

Weshington's Best Horses.

OF the many riding men around and
about Washington. the writer can recall
but one whose horse has all the require
ments OF the saddle horse. The horse
in question is Jack Pot, Dr.. Elmer
.Sothoron's handsome chestnut The
gaits designated in the late show were
the walk, trot. and canter. Jack Pot
superbly ridden by Mr.. Clagett. who
bred him, has the necessary spring TO
his walk to render it as easy as a rock
ing chair; his trot, smooth and steady,
showed him at his best, while his can
ter was as nearly perfect as it is pos
sible to attain. DR.. Sothoron is ia

Another saddler worthy of mention
is Lady Gray. Alexander Legare's game
little mare. She, too, is pleasantly
gated, and at the same time has both
manner and style. and sufficient action
to show her of 10 good advantage Mr..
Legare is an enthusiastic horseman, and
to him is due a large share of the credit
for the success OF the horse show. One
of the best cross-country riders in
America. professional or amateur, is
Dion X. Kerr, a Washingtonian, who
figured so prominently in the steepIe-
chases at the Benning spring meet Mr..
Kerr is distinctively hunting man. and
cares little for park horses. He schools
his own hunters, and just so they can
jump and are fast on the fat, he cares
little about such trifies as gait and
manners.

Resemble Hunters.

Nowadays ali saddle horses closely
resemble the hunter type, even the lit
tie cob has had his day. In times gone by
he was a necessary adjunct to every
well appointed stable. He was both use
full and ornamental. For park work, the
cob. short stout little lump of horse
flesh. was both SNOWY and easy gated,
while his most serious work consisted in
carrying his owner to and from hunt
meets.
The present saddler is a big raw
boned beast, his chief characteristics
consisting of action and style, which
have superseded all claims to gait.
Manners count for little. as was evil
denced by the decisions of those gen
tlemen designated as experts, at Chevy
Chase show last Friday This is the
style of saddler which prevails around
about Washington, yet elsewhere the
ideal saddle horse is ever in demand and
commands fabulous prices in the horse
market

Good Ones Scarce.


There have never been sufficient good
saddle horses in this country to go
around, as the saying is. Those which
had the correct gaits, and, being well
broken, had a fine appearance. were at
once snapped up at all kinds of fancy
prices. but, notwithstanding our world
wide national reputation for smartness
after trade. no one has apparently yet
arisen to attempt TO cater TO the IN
doubtedly immense demand for accept
able saddle horses which could so easily
be fostered in this country. As a sample
OF what the Kentucky horses will do,
it is not long since a well-known New
York clukman drove a highly bred mare
at some races in harness and won two
heats and the race; two hours later
riding the same mare two miles over
eight hurdles to win again. She was a
beauty TO look at. and very neariy
thoroughbred.
