THE STAR MIRA.
A Sun of Great Sire That Is strug-

A Sun of Great Size That Is strug-
Cling For Existence.
For the greater part Of the time the
variable Mira, which has been known
to astronomers for 800 years, is alto
gether unnotlceable and indeed invis-
ible, except with telescopes. 1t once
disappeared entirely for a period Of
four years, but afterward attained eX-
traordinary splendor, only to fade
again to invisibility. It is sun Of
great size, brighter than our sun when
1t shines at its brightest, but some
be sapping its vitality, and 1t resem-
bles patient almost at the last gasp
Once In about 331 days-but the Pc
riod Is irregular-it has a sudden ac-
cession of energy and flares up for a
little while with several hundredfold
brillianCy only TO sink back into a
dull red point that nearly escapes the
ken Of the telescope. One interesting
explanation that has been suggested
Is that the surface Of Mira periodical

hydrogen, so great and powerful that
It is visible across millions of millions
Of miles OF space. 1t is a star for the
Imagination OF a Dante, yet there is
reason to believe that the time IS
coming when every star in the sky,
not excepting the sun, will have to
confront a similar struggle for exist
ence, just as every mortal being must
some time see death.-Garrett L. Ser

We were listening to the playing of a

We don't use dangerous drugs or narcot-
lcs the make our work painless, and our
method does not cause sleep or deaden the
faculties in any way.
There are many who won't believe we
can fill or extract teeth without an instant's
pain to the patient. This skepticism,
founded on past experience, is natural But
we suggest TO skeptical persons that, at the
worst, our treatment cannot be more pain
tul than others, so there can be nothing lost
IN finding out about it. This is especially
true when you remember that we can give
you better work than most dentists because
we have specialists for the different branches,
