Norwich. A Norwich boy he has lived and worked here all his life and by practicing progressive business meth ods has secured the good will and pa tronage of the music lovers of Nor wich and vicinity. Beginning as head of the music department in large To- cal concern he attracted large fol- lowing by reason of his courteous at titude of ready service. This following he retained when he went into busi- ness for himself as The Talking Ma chine Shop on Main street. After con- tinuing there a short half-year the demands of his business grew so great that when the opportunity presented itself to him of acquiring the well known House of Marsh he eagerly grasped it and as result he is now established at 46 Franklin street where his numerous friends can amidst comfortable surroundings se- lect any style of talking machine and listen to their favorite records and test for themselves the slogan For Your Victrola-Curland Service"

senbaum filed an action with Judge Maltbie in the Superior Court asking for the release of the attachment and lien upon substitution of a bond. Mrs. Fanny Silverman appeared at 2 hearing and offered the necessary surety. Later on judgment was ask ed on the bond by Sachs, damages claimed to the amount of s1O,O0O. and four pieces of property belonging to Mrs. Silverman and valued at $12,- 900 were attached.
 A motion to dissolve this attach ment was heard before Judge Malt bic and he ordered the attachment dissolved on the property of Mrs. Silverman but held that that on the property of Mrs. Nussenbaum was not excessive. Sachs appealed to the Supreme Court from the decision stating that Judge Maltbie erred. In the decision handed down today from the Supreme Court the opinion is by Chief Justice Prentice and he states that there is error in so much of the order as dissolves the attachment made on the property of the appli- cant Silverman and the same is set aside. In accordance with this de- cision the attachment made by Sachs still stands pending his suit against Mrs. Nussenbaum

James Fornan, who had introduced him. invited contributions from the audience for the destitute children of
 France. The appeal brought a most gratifying response, the sum realized
 from the collection amounting to
 $10O.40.
 Mrs. ID, S. Sanford, chairman of the Bedding Home Economics Committee,
 has issued an appeal in furtherance of the canning campaign now in prog ress The response of one family is a promise to put up $50 quarts. The appeal says: Our town quota is 5000 quarts. That means that the Food Administration hopes that there will
 be 5000 quarts of vegetables and fruit preserved in the town, for winter use. The government will have of course no claim of any sort upon this food. What they hope is that in this way the output of the large canneries may be available to a great extent for the army and food export abroad. Sugar, which must be used very sparingly on | the table this summer, may be had in sufficient quantities for preserving. In comparison with our three pounds,
 of sugar a month per person for table use, we must compare the British ra-
 tion of two pounds and the French
 and Italian---precarious at that---of one pound. The more canned fruit
 we can set free for use abroad, the
 more we can relieve Sheir need of
 sweets. Both quart and pint glass l jars and large tin cans may be had at
 special prices by applying to the Farm Bureau or the Home Economics Com l lmittee.''

'ecords of the faint stars were very

records of the faint stars were very incomplete
 Another thing which is, of course, possible, is that a dark G.e. cold) star bursts into light again, for we know that such bodies exist in space. But what is it that can cause this sudden increase in the radiation of light? We must look for some pos sible source for a tremendous in crease in temperature. Two ex- plantations have been brought for ward; both are satisfactory to ce:- tain degree only.
 We krow that all stars are in m J. tion through space and that this mo- ton is very rapid. Suppose that in it's course a star suddenly runs into a portion of space occupied by a nebula or some sort of attenuated matter. The friction which it encounters WI l sharply arrest it's speed, and the loBt energy of motion will be changed to heat. It is an explanation similaI to that given for the sudden appea-- ance of a meteor in the upper atmos- Phere of the earth.
 IIl6 OktltI l1OIl IS IllS SLdl = collision theory. In accordance with this theory nova is the result of 2 collision of two stars as they hurtle through space with their enormous speeds We can readily picture to ourselves that the heat engendered by such a collision would be sufficient to vaporize the material of both stars and raise it to the highest tempera lures. The present difficulty with this theory is the rapidity with which the new stars light dies away. Also the stars in space are rather too far apart to account in this way for even the rare nova phenomena.
 The Planets.
 Mars is the only one of the brighter months map and even he is far down on the western horizon, and will set soon after map time. Uranus is in the constellation Capricornus, but is not an object for naked-eye observa- ton. Venus and Jupiter are morn ing stars. Mercury, however, will give us a chance to observe him this month. for on August he will be in greatest eastern elongation from the Sum- For several days befor ? and after that date, we shall be able to see him low down on the eastern horizon, near the place where the Sun has set.
 The Fixed Stars.
 Vega is almost directly overhead at map time, and those who are not already familiar with the con- stellation of sthe Tyre can fix it ill their memories now. Vega and the two next brightest stars of the group. Beta and Gamma Lyrae, make trio which is unique. Between the latter two lies the famous ring, nebula, an exceedingly interesting object of ob- servation for those who ar efortunate enough to possess telescope. In the East, the Great Square of Pegasus Is well above the horizon; it consists of three stars of the constellation Pega- sus and one star borrowed from the neighboring Andromeda.

 The so-called new star which flashed out unexpectedly in the constellation Aquila last June, will figure promin- ently in astronomic history. If it had remained at it's maximum bril- liancy, when it's magnitude almost equaled that of Sirius, which is the brightest of all the fixed stars, it would certainly have been a great addition to the splendors of the even ing sky. But there is no record of a star which rose to brilliance and re- tained even a portion of it's teporary splendor.
 These stars belong to the class of "aperiodic variables," which is the scientific name for stars that change their brightness without any periodic or repetition effects. Such a star is called a nova" and this one, be- cause it appeared in the constellation of Aquila, the Eagle, is known to as tronomers as Nova Aquilae. Its po- sition is shown on the monthly map below the center of the map and d little to the left. At the time of writing the star is still very bright and easily recognizable.
 In 1901 there was a nova in Per seus, which rose to the second mag nitude, but Nova Aquilae is the most splendid one since Kepler's nova in Ophiuchus, back in 1894. This one was reported to have been as bright as Jupiter. The brightest on record is Tycho Brahe's nova in the con- stellation Cassiopeia, which rivaled Venus in brilliancy and was visible even in daylight.
 The history of such a star is very remarkable. Harvard University re- ported having traced Nova Aquilae back to 1888, when it was of the eleventh magnitude and far too weak to be visible to the naked eye, Up to June 3, 1918, it had done nothing to deserve particular attention, and it is not known what it's state was on June 4, 5 or 6, for those nights were too cloudy for observation. But on !, June ' it was suddenly found by many observers to have risen to the sixth magnitude, 100 times it's original brightness. June found its magni- tude increased again over 100 times, or 900 what 1t had been but a few days before. It attained the maxi mum brilliancy on June 10, with a magnitude of minus 1.6" and more than 20 900 times it's original bright ness Its decline began almost inn mediately afterwards, for on the night of June II, accurate instruments showed a decrease in magnitude. Like all preceding novae, it is more or less rapidly declining into the insignifi- canoe from which 1t emerged.
 Possible Causes of Novae.
 The word nova is somewhat mis- leading: it is not really true that q new star is formed; it is an old, small star which suddenly bursts into glory. The ancients, without tele- scopes, could not have known of the thousands of fainter stars, and to them 1t seemed as if a new star was born; even in modern astronomy, be- fore the advent of photography, the

BEDDING

Bedding, July 25.-Considering the inconvenient hour a good sized gath ering assembled on the Ridgewold Inn grounds, last Saturday afternoon to
 hear John Kendrick Bangs, author and lecturer, talk upon his observa- lions and experiences in France. Touches of humor frightened the ad-
 dress, which was mainly serious and at times movingly pathetic. He said that however pessimistic and deroga-
 tory might be some of the home com ment regarding Americas war work in France there was no criticism of it, constructive or otherwise, but on the
 contrary marvel and admiration com-
 bined with appreciation and gratitude.
 MT. Bangs was especially emphatic
 in refuting the aspersions which some
 had tried to cast upon our soldiers,
 declaring that as regards both morale
 and morals our army was probably superior to any large army the world
 had ever known. This conclusion he
 had formed from intimate first hand knowledge. He thought that perhaps one explanation of the high character
 standard shown by our soldiers was the fact that before we entered the conflict they had become aware of the hideous brutalities and vile immorali- ties of the German soldiers and the feeling of revulsion caused thereby was an influence tending to good con- duct Some highly impressive pie lures were drawn by the speaker of the sufferings inflicted by the war up
 on the French people and especially upon the orphaned and destitute chill dren, In Paris it was a common thing to see a soldier on leave strolling with l his wife and children and leading one | of the latter by the hand. He could l lead only one because one of his arms
 was gone. You would come across an officer, a stalwart, athletic figure, his
 chest covered with honor decorations. | A second glance would show that the man had no arms. Generally the
 women were in black, but the costume | was of the simplest and plainest De- spite these aaddening conditions, how !; ever, there remained so much anima- ton and there prevailed such an air of cheerful fortitude that the atmos- phere was not one of depression. 1 There was sorrow without despair and | a calm resignation indicating an in- vincible spirit.
