There Is good reason to believe that
the bodies I'm space-both luminous and
ENTHUSIASTICALLY fall together. and
his conception of such an event was
given by Professor A. W. Bickerton In
a Royal institution lecture In England.
The collisions do not come at random.
Gravity and other agencies are at
work, and before two suns collide they
come into each others influence for
hundreds Of years. being drawn to-
ward each other with constantly in
creasing speed. AS the velocity would
be proportionate TO size. the collision
would take place In the same time
about three-fourths Of an hour-for oil
bodies. With the collision. the two
stars become new one, the tremen-
dous speed Is suddenly converted into
heat. and the explosive force expands
the new star at the rate of millions Of
miles an hour. This. Professor Bicker-
ton believes. explains the origin Of
Nova Persei. which suddenly flashed
out in 1901 with 10000 times the bril-
.iancy Of our sun. This star became
the brightest In the heavens except
Sirius and was the most brilliant new
star that has appeared in 300 years.
