no exception.
When IL was announced last fail
that the Cincinnati Nationals and De

games this spring, Ty Cobb was all
smiles. Cobb, who considered himself
checker player OF major league
quality, at last saw an opportunity to
meet Manager MathewsOn of the Gin
cinnati Reds.
Ty beat everybody on the Detroit
club with ridiculous ease. Then Matty
came The first of series OF games
quickly was arranged.
Cobb never knew what struck him.

HOW STARS ACQUIRE HEAT
Dust Must Constantly Be Added or
Temperature viii Turn and
Decline.

Ii is a simple matter TO explain
how stars acquire their heat. The
particles Of nebula, although IN
dividuaIly cold, usually possess con-
siderable motion. While they are IN
free and gaseous state, collisions
between particles are rare, but when
this same matter is gathered into a
star, the particles clash together and
rebound. thus setting up all manner
of vibrations. A small body radiates
freely, but as it becomes larger ITS
surface becomes relatively smaller
and smaller, and it can give up heat
less freely, while at the same time
its temperature rises approximately
TO the sum of the heat locked IN each
of its separate particles A star con-
tinues TO grow hotter and hotter, as
long as material is being added TO It.
Not until there is no more star dust
to be found does its temperature
turn and decline.
Fierce heat appears to resolve all
elements into simpler ones, Of which
the most common is belium- The
temperature Of the Orion stars Is
well above $4,000 degrees. The hot
test electric furnace on earth Is
only about 5000 degrees, and the
sun itself about 5000 degrees As
these intensely heated stars cool, the
elements with which We are familiar
appear in a definite order.
