We may as well admit Immediately

ton Of the sudden rise in brilliancy
Of these stars and their subsequent
fading has been proposed. There are
however, two theories in the field,
each Of which Is exceedingly interest
ing and instructive. one is star col
nsion theory and the other IS akin to
the explanation Of the sudden bril-
lancy Of meteors. The former theory
requires that two stars pursuing their
OrDital course through space come
either into contact with or very near
20 one another If they actually were
TO collide, one can Immediately under
stand that a tremendous amount OF
heat would be generated and the
starry matter raised TO an enormously
high temperature. II they did not
actually collide, there still would be
great graVitatiOnal effect OF one
upon the other which might produce
such a result But the stars are too
sparsely distributed in space TO have
collisions even as often as the appear
ances OF the nOvae. Fir this hypO-
thesis TO hold we must suppose
very large number OF dark. {. e., invis-
ible stars, and that is not in agree
meut with other requirements.
Another Theory.
Let us turn TO the second theord.
When a meteor in its course through
space suddenly enters the earth's
atmosphere the friction engendered
thereby is so great that it's speed is
greatly diminished. The energy OF
motion thus lost is turned into heat
energy and is sufficient to raise the
meteoric material to incandescence
and to produce its consumption. We
can also picture TO ourselves a star
rushing with great speed through
space tthe sun is a star and has a We
locity OF 10 miles per second) and
coming suddenly into a region OF

TURKS AND HUNS OUT.
Berlin Worried Over Disagree
ment; Sultan Threatens
Bulgarian Invasion.

Washington Sept. 0.--lnformation
reached here today from source us,-
aly reliable that Turkey has sent n large
force to the border of Bulgaria, where
trouble is brewing over division OF
territorial spoils of war between these
two allies of Germany and Austria
Hungary The possibility of open con-
flict between Turkey and Bulgaria is
watched here with great interest, and Is
known to be causing serious misgivings
at Berlin.
The revolutionary spirit rs rifle IN
the Bulgarian Army and among the
civilian population, according to reports.
The Bulgarians want more territory,
and are said to be determined to secure
all of Serb and even "A portion of Austria.
They already have secured a strip off
Northern Turkey, including one-hall
of the City of Adrianople
Another cause for dissension is the
fact that when the Dobrudja was
awarded to Bulgaria In the Rumanan
peace treaty dictated by Germany,
Turkey demanded the cession of that
portion of its northern territory that
had previously been given to Bulgaria
rs a reward for entering the war on the
side of the Central Powers.
The recent resignation of Premier Ra-
dosavoif of Bulgaria is said TO have
been caused by his inability to obtain
more territory and his unwilllngness to
betrav the Central Powers, The new
Premier. NIalinoff. is believed here TO
be figurehcad who will accept the die
tation of Germany, but the army and tho
pomllacc are not satisfied with the
