Further study along the lines of his
observations may prove the discovery ,
one of tremendous Importance as
throwing new light upon the con-
stitution of the sun and the fixed
stars. which are themselves the suns
of far-off worlds The new star In
the Gemini Is marked by the fact
that its light varies from periods ,ot
great dimness to brilliancy. This,
| Professor Kuestner says, Ia explain
ed by the fact that the star has
reached a nebulous mass, contact
with which has raisd the star to- a
glowing heat. This mass, however.
is of varying density, and consa-
quently the new stars light varies.
according as 1t Is in contact with the
dense or the more tenuous portions.
The finding of radium in the Analysis
OF its spectrum may In view Of what
we already know of the light ard
heat-giving properties offs that ,elo-

prehension of the development I0f
