But with those variable stars of which the light IS suddenly cut off at regular intervals We know that the explanation lies merely in the fact that they are at- tended by a dark companion which at intervals comes between the star and us. thus cutting off it's light Such star is Algol. the Demon Star at L.

COLORADO NOT TIRED
 OF THE EXPERIMENT
A Noted Suffrasist Finds in the Late Election No Evidence of the Waning of Suffrage.

A dispatch from Colorado says that recognized leaders" of both republi- cans and democrats-who prefer to re- main anonymous in order not to be recognized-declare that woman suf- frage is a farce and that both men and women would like to get rid of it.
 Colorado adopted woman suffrage F years ago as a statute. ratified by a referendum vote. After ten years ex- perience of it as statute. the men and women of Colorado incorporated it in the state constitution. almost without opposition. That should settle the question whether they wish to be rid of it. We are often told that whenever women want the ballot they will get It. Whenever the women of an equal Suf- frage state want to get rid of the bal lot it is safe to say they will get rid of 1t. But there is no movement any where to that effect.
 As proof of the failure of equal suf- frage. the same anonymous authority pointed out that no women were cleo ted to the Colorado egislature this year. No women were elected because no women were nominated for the leg l .NldluIE OAl iAiC They were defeated for the same req son that the men on the minority tick cts were. Miss Katherine Craig was elected State Superintendent of Public Instruction alon< with other republi . can candidates.
 In Wyoming. where women have had the full ballot for 37 years, no woman has ever gone to the legislature. The men say that women could be elected but that they do not care to run. In the three other equal suffrage states there never have been more than three women in any legislature at any one time. About a dozen have served in all. The prophecy that if women could vote they would rush into all offices | and crowd out the men has not been verified.

 When further measures have been made. it will be possible to predict ex- actly how the comet is moving, and to mark it's position among the stars on each night. If 1t is approaching the earth 1t may during the next few months become a bright and cOnspic- uous object, but if it is receding, il will grow rapidly fainter and soon be lost to view even in the largest tele- scopes.

The stars which now may be seen in the early evening are much more brilliant than those which have been with us during the summer and au- tumn months. The bright winter con- stellations have slowly mounted high CT and higher in the sky until now the whole eastern half of the heavens Is completely filled with these striking and brilliant winter groups. The stars toward the west are far fainter; these remnants of the autumn sky are slow Iv giving way before the steady ad- vance of the bright groups in the east. and soon they will sink below the western horizon and be seen no more until next summer.
 THE AUTUMN STARS.
 If the observer will turn toward the west he will get last view of the beautiful Northern Cross before II leaves the evening sky. It is only at this time of the year that the cross is in an upright position; it now extends directly up from the ground along the center of the Milky Way. little t1 the north of the cross is the bright star Vega. and a little to the south of 1t is the brilliant Altair. both of which have been conspicuous in the early evening for many months. but which are now just on the point of disappear ing for another year.

Below the brilliant orion the observ- CT may trace out the faint. pretty little group known as Lepus or the Hare. name which is peculiarly appropriate to this inconspicuous constellation. li will be noticed also that the semi- nocturnal Lepus does not raise until the Eagle, the bird which loves the sum- IS setting. from which possibly arose the mythological belief of the enmity of these two creatures. In similar way. just as Lepus sets the group known as the Crow rises and from this the ancient belief that the hare de- tested the voice of the raven is be- lieved to have been derived.
