GERMAN PROFESSOR DISCOVERS
URANIUM ON A STAR
LIGHT VARIES.
RIOT over PROHIBITION
Police Called Out to Qucll Trouble In
Sessions of German Good
Tcmplars.

BERLIN, June %, - Professor
Kucstner. of the Bonn observatory,
has established the presence of urani-
um in tho recently discovered new
star OF the constellation Gcmini. Fur
thcr along the lines of his observa-
tlons may prove the discovery of one
Of tremendous importance as throwing
a new light upon the constitution of
the sun and the fixed stars. which are
themselves the suns of far-otf worlds.
The new star In the Gemini Is marked
by the fact that its light varies from
periods OF great dimness to brllliancy.
This, Professor kuestner says is eX-
planned by the fact that the star has
reached n nehulous mass. contract
with which has raised the star to
glowing heat. This mass however, Is
of varying density, and consequently
the new stars light varies, according
rs II is in contact with the dense or the
more tenuous portions. The finding
of radium in the analysis OF its spect-
rum may. in view of what we already
know of the light anu heat-glving
properties OF that element be the first
step toward comprehensi1 of the de-
velupment of our own solar system
and OF the undiminishlng heat and
light of the sun.

TO HANG BEDROOM CURTAINS
Necessity for Fresh Air at Night
Makes Question a Most I'M
portant One.

Since fresh air at night has become
imperative the right way to curtain a
bedroom must be studied. Every win
dow must be raised at top and bot
tom, which is better for lungs and
complexion than for h%angings.
The specialist advises no curtains:
so will most men, who rarely like the
dainty d%raperies dear to women. Few
housekeepers agree with this, ever
the health fanatics. Nothing furnishes
a room like fresh white curtains; be-
sides, the publicity Of the uncurtain-
ed room is Objectionable. not to men,
ton the bare look of the outside of a
house.
The woman who believes in fresh
air never hangs at her bedroom win
dows curtains that cannot be launder-
ed easily or that are ruined by damp
ness. Windows up the year around
soon works havoc on delicate lace or
colored curtains.
Double draperies are not advisable
for the bedroom. Too much air Is
shut out, though they are lifted back
each night. When one will have them,
choose denim, wash prints or heavy
wash silks that stand Tubing.
One woman fastens to the side lin
tells of her window high above the mid
die sash, a small hook. In a conven-
lent place she keeps cords for each
half of curtain and her maids are
taught when preparing the room for
the night to loop the curtains up and
back, thus giving free current of
air.
The most practical method of cur
tanning a bedroom is to divide the
curtain in two sections horizontally.
A rod is run at the top of the lower
sash and the lower half run on it by
a narrow casing. The upper curtain
is cut longer than the lowed one and
hung on a rod at the top of the case
ment so they conceal the lower rod.
By this arrangement the window
can be lifted with no floating draper.

such an encounter.
