constellation Andromeda, which is Wis
ible as misty speck TO the naked eye
1t has long puzzled astronomers, be-
cause while its structural series OF
vast rings surrounding n central mass

spectrum IS continuous, resembling
that of the sun. 1t has been suggested
that 1t may be composed OF stars con

such as Cdpella, and Mr.. ]. Ennrd
Gore, the English astronomer points
out that II the Andromeda nebula
were assumed to be an external uni
verse, having n diameter comparab BILE
with that OF the Milky way. Its mass
would be forty million million million
times the mass of the sun. This IL
regarded as incredible and so may be
taken as an additional argument In
favor OF the view that this ncbula is

How do men and women face death
when the sentence is pronounced by

his experience. Tell the man OF higher
type and greater intelligence, he says,
that he is facing death and he begins
to fight, demands n consultation, talks
about going to specialists and fights
grimly TO the finish. Tell q woman
the same facts, and she lies back to
await her fate. All women are fatal

that he has one chance in thousand

strength and endurance rather than
undergo the knife. The woman will
