Speed Greater IMAM That of Light.
Two years ago a new star blazed out
in the constellation Perseus. Such
new stars are by no means rare, but
this was so great and varied in bril-.
liancy SO rapidly that it was specially
noteworthy. Soon after the outburst
that made the star so bright it was
found to be surrounded by nebula.
and this nebula spread outward
around the nucleus gradually, as seen
by the naked eye, because of the stars
great distance, but really with i'm
mense speed. In fact, it has been cal.
culated that this speed was so great
that it seems impossible that the
spread of the nebula could have been
due to the motion Of ordinary matter
at all. 1t has been suggested that the
apparent motion was really only a
progressive illumination of the neb-
lous matter by light from the exploded
star. But Prof. Simon Newcomb cal
culates that even this will not account
for the motion. for it was at least fen
times that of light. We have thu. ac-
tually observed motion in the heay-
ems that vastly exceeds any other that
we have ever heard of, whether it be
of projected matter or of ether waves.

October the two yachts sailed their

A PHILOSOPHICAL TRAMP,

Resented the Intrusiyeness

What seemed to be thieving tramp,

stole philosopher seeking light, air
and pleasure, drifted into Macon from
the north a few days ago. "On his
back" says the Macon Republican,
was strapped rifle, small tent, pro-
vision bag, coffee pot and tiny oil
stove. His garments were frayed and
di1t-covered, but he whitfield a cob pipe
cheerfully and walked with sprightly
gait. AS he rounded the courthouse
corner Deputy Turner ran out and
hailed him.
"Look here! Where'd you get all
them things?' he demanded.
"The travelling household Looked the
questioner squarely in the eye.

way?'

"The deputy had to go back in the
Office and get his star, and then the
wanderer gave an account of himself.
He said he was alone in the world, and
had started from Dakota and would
keep on till he reached Florida, where
1t was warmer! Robert Glass was the
name he gave, and his age as so.

my way of doing he said. It's the
