United States Naval Astronomer
Establishes General Cause
Of Variable Stars.
EXPLAINS CAUSE OF LIGHT
Says Blazing Stars Are Result or
Actual Collisions with Planets
Revolving About Them.

Vallejo. Cal, Aug. Announcement
Is made by Prof T. j. J. See United
states navy the noted astronomer in
charge of the naval observatory at
Mare Island that he has succeeded In
establishing tine general cause Of vari-
able stars. For the past two years
Prof See has been connected with
extensive research in cosmical cvolu-
ton, which have given an entirely new
aspect 10 the nebular hypothesis and
have become celebrated under the name
Of the 'captufe theory"
The main cause given to explain
the round form OF planetary orbits and
other heavenly motions Is a resisting
medium OF nebulous material which Is
SHOWN 10 be dlifuscd everywhere lr
space.
Within the 10 years many hundred
variable stars have been discovered i'm

observatory By Pickering and Haley.

studied by Bernard Of the YerSes OBJ
servatory Ia Wisconsin. and the periods
OF light variation found to be as re.u.
lat as the motion OF a perfect clock. SO
that huctuatiun OF light Of these var
ables could be used to measure time
almost az accurately as the rotation
Of the earth about its axis In certain
clusters the variables are to be counted
by the hundred, in others very few can
be found. Heretofore this fact has been
very perpleXing to astronomers. After,
careful Vestigations. Prof See fnds
mat the cluster vafiables are suns at
tended by planets which reVolvc IN
close proximity in short periods and
that after passing through perihelion
they plunge in resisting medium OF
nebulosity so that the light suddenly
blazes up and afterwards dies down
gradually. Some clusters are full OF
nebuloslty, while others are quite free
from IL, According to Prof See this
accounts for the abundance Of varlables
In certain clusters and their almost to-
tai absence in others

ANOTHER THEORY.

Prof. See says he has established also
that the blazing forth OF new starr
now and then in the heavens is caused
by the actual collisions with planets
