THE AGE OF STARS.
Color Aids the Astronomer In Max
Ing His Calculations.

Color Aids the Astronomer In Maxi
Ing His Calculations.
AS star contracts from the sur
rounding nebulous matter from which
it was thrown off it's temperature rises,
and with this augmented heat occurs a
change both in the stars spectrum and
color. Redhot iron is not nearly so bot
as white hot iron. BY observing the va
rious changes in tint which the metal
undergoes the foundryman is able to
tell with considerable accuracy its de-
gree of heat. A somewhat similar
method ofgauging Il stars temperature,
and therefore its age, is relied upon by
the astronomer. Color, then, and spec
troscopic analysis enable the astrono-
mer to estimate the age of orbs that
are only beginning to exist as stars
and others whose light is fast fading.
After having cOagulated, as 1t were,
from a nebulous mass, Il star assumes
a color that may be best described as
an intense blush white, much like that
Of the electric arc. Stars of that hue
are, therefore, in their infancy. Then
comes the white stage, followed by the
yellow, orange and red, each succeed
ing hue indicating greater celestial an
tiquity than the last. Up to the yellow
period the star as 1t contracts grows
hotter and hotter Then gradual cool
ing takes place. Accompanying the
changes in color are changes in the
spectrum of the star-changes that in
dicate a modification in physical struc-
ture. In the blush white period of
stars infancy the characteristic wide
lines Of hydrogen gas predominate in
the spectrum. AS the color changes,
the lines of calcium, magnesium and
iron appear, the hydrogen lines gradu-
ally becoming thinner and those of
calcium broader. - Booklovers Maga-

Reward
BY GtbeI harrington
Copyright, 1901, by Ethel Darlington

Deep in the heart of each man and
woman lies some unfulflled ambition
toward which his efforts tend as n
goal. With Myra Darling it was a
gold watch.
Her days were passed behind a
counter where a variety of neckwear
was displayed. The remuneration was
small and served only to provide her
with a 'home" and the simplest of
gowns The watch for which her soul
hungered might have been the moon
Or the Roc's egg. But more trying
than the privations she endured was
the cheapness, the narrowness of her
life, so different from the gentle sur
roundingS of her glrlhood.
1t was her birthday, her eighteenth
year, and Sunday-a dcy free from the
aisle walkers espionage, happy COM
bination which Myra enjoyed to the
full. A long afternoon in the crisp.
cool air of the park was a happy eli
max.
II was turning dusk as she left the
park. The city lamps already shone in
a long line down the avenue. On the
side streets the shadows fell black
and ugly, causing a few buildings to
stand out in bold relief Suddenly a
Hash from passing automobile struck
a small, round object that glittered
near the curbing. Myra bent over to
pick it up. Had some beneficent fairy
godmother thrown the gift at her feet?
1t was a watch, and on her birthday
She seized it rapturously and, looking
neither to the right nor left, fed I'D
the steps of her boarding house, never
pausing until she stood in the hall room
she called her home She lighted the
gas and drew down the shade, then
breathlessly examined her new found
treasure. The small hunting case was
of gold, with no mark to identify it,
and set in diamonds.
"You little beauty" whispered the
girl as she caressed it with her fingers.
Then, with woman's curiosity, she tried
to open the back. 1t was difficult, but
at last Myra gasped with surprise. The
face of young man, with honest eyes
and kindly mouth, looked into her own.

she thought. mo, it's a woman's trim

The Change of a Nnme.

How family names change in the
course of many years is illustrated by
the conversion of "Botevile" into
Thyme" An English deed bearing
date in the closing days of the fifteenth
century shows three brothers then
fourishing-John Botevile of Botevile
and Thomas and William Botevile.
The trio are distinguished from all 9TH
er Boteviles by the explanation "of the
Inne," or family residence, the title to
which had come to their joint posses
sion. Johns grandson was known as
Ralph Botevileof- the-Inne, from which
the transition to Ralph Thyme is easy.
His descendants have been Thynnes
ever since
