seem to think he. possesses tho most
marvellous powers for the healing of all

laughs at this, He says: "The hundreds

WHY LITTLE STARS TWINKLE
British Scientist Says Phenomena Is
Chiefly Effect Produced in Atmos-
phere on Waves of Light.

Perhaps you remember that In youth
some kindly elder soul took you into
the darkness of some glorious sum-
mer night and pointed out the stars
and planets. telling you glibly enough
that the unwinking star overhead was
planet. while that blue one down
there which wrinkles" was star. The
fact that planets shone only or mainly
with reflected light, while the stars
burned" was supposed to explain the
twinking. as against the steadfast
radiance. Even this young Illusion is
dispelled by British scientist, who
says:
The twinkling of the stars is chief
ly an effect produced in our atmos-
phere upon the waves of light, 1t is
due to currents and strata of air of
different densities intermingling and
f1oadng past each other. through which
the light passes to the eye. 1t is seen
much more in cold than In warm
weather. and near the horizon more
be seen by looking out Of a window
over hot radiator. or at candle
held on the other side of hot stove.
SO that one must look through a body
of highly heated air at the candle
flame. The flame will be seen to
waver and quiver The various layers
of air are at different densities and in
motion. Rapid twinklIng of the stars
is a sign of change of weather"
