velocity the star would tend to divide
into two and the form it would take
before complete separation would be
that Of dumb-belI, or rather two
pears Joined top to top. This deduc-
ton was purely theoretical. During
the past two years an examination Of
the light changes Of some recently
discovered variable stars reveals this
very condition Of things. For exam
pie, one star in the southern sky goes
through a certain regular series of
light changes in seven hours, indicat-
'fng that the star is a twin system, the
two bodies composing 1t being in con
tact. This dumb-bell system revolves
around the common center in seven
hours. 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

The existence Of the Arctic seal in
Lake Baikal in central Asia is best
explained. according to Prof. G. F.
Wright on the theory OF a recent de-
preston allowing the sea to extend
inward. The lake Is now 1861 feet
above the sea and fully 1000 miles
distant as the river runs. The pres
ence of the seal in the lake is readily
explained as above. but not satisfac-
torily explained on any other theory.
Reaching the enclosure when It was
an arm Of the sea the animal would
find favorable habitat; and when,
on re-elevation Of the land the basin
became cut on from direct communi-
cation with the sea, the water would
still be salt and would grow fresh SO
gradually that the species would ad-
Just itseir to the slowly changing con
ditions and remain a permanent in
habitant. The same seal is now
found in the Caspian sea and was for
'merly found In the Sea of Aral.
