When you read In scientific book
that the sun Is made Of certain sub
stances, that the stars Aldebaran,
Sirius, Sapella, etc., are made Of other
substances, you wonder how this can
be known with such certainty; for
nobody has ever been there to see.
Nevertheless our knowledge Of the
composition Of the sun and stars Is al
most as certain as that OF the elements
that go to make up our own earth.
And It 10 all due to the spectroscope.
Isabel NJ. Lewis. of the United States
naval observatory, tells just how 1t is
done. When q ray Of sunshine passes
through a spectroscope (Which con-
sists essentially of a glass prism or
chain OF prisms), it is broken up into
its component parts. which arrange
themselves In rainbow, violet, indigo,
blue. green, yellow, orange, red. and
these colors are crossed by many fine
dark lines called Frauenhofer or alb.
Sorption lines. The shortest wave
lengths are in the violet and the long.
est in the red; below the red are the
infra-rsd rays, invisible to the naked
eye, but capable OF being photographed
on specially sensitized plates.
An incandescent body under high
pressure gives US band OF pure color
unbroken by the cross lines. II, how
ever, cooler gases are between us and
the source Of the continuous spectrum
they absorb the light beyond Just those
rays Of which they themselves consist,
and as a result the band Of color is
crossed by dark lines. Every chemical
element has its own lines in the spec
truu. always in the same place. So !!
ia easy to identify the clement merely
by observing the position Of the
Frauenhofer or absorption lines in the
spectrum.
II the intervening gases be hotter
than the source Of light. the lines they
make on the spectrum will be bright
instead OF dark. but their position will
be unchanged.
In the spectrum Of the sun. for in
duces the continuous band Of color
and the cooler gases Of the surround.
ing solor atmosphere absorb from the
light Of tho core the particular rays
Of which they themselves consist. and
produce the dark lines that tell US they
are calcium. or oxygen. or iron, OF
heliun, or any Of the other elements.
It has been found that all the elo-
ments that exist on our planet exist
also in the sun, and enter into the
composition Of the stars. For the
light OF distant star. faint as It Is
can be made to furnishs1ts spectrum
Father Secchi. italian astronomer
first classified the stars according to
the elements predominatlrg in them
that was in 1849: since then the Han
ward observatory has classified the
spectra Of 200 200 stars.

The association also appoint ed M. D. Snodgrass. superintendent of the government farm as its statis tician.
 Following the meeting of the as sociation. a session of the Panama Valley Agricultural association, incor pOrated, the holding company of the organizations warehouse was held. At this time, names of several mem bers were placed in nomination for directors of the corporation to handle the warehouse matters Seven of these will be elected at the next regular meeting of the holding com pany on Saturday evening, August 9.
