oLp.TIME NEW STARS

Away back in the year 1S4 there ap- peared a bright star about which we know very little save that it's appear ance led the Greek philosopher, Hip parchus, to form a catalogue showing the positions Of the bright stars, so that in future it would be an easy matter to identify a new star This was the beginning of our modern star catalogues, which now register the ex- act position of every star visible in ordinary telescopes
 The third famous one recorded was by Tycho in 1872. When first seen t was already brighter than Jupiter and very soon became as bright as Venus herself, being even visible by daytime Within a week or two it began to fade but continued visible to the naked eye for full 16 months before it finally dis appeared.
 Coming down to more modern times there appeared new star in the group or constellation known IS Auriga. This was not a particularly bright one, but instruments like the spectroscope had by this time been invented which made possible the analysis of the stars light and this was the first nova upon whicl, the new instrument was tried out. A great deal of information was thus ob- tained and better methods of inyestiga- tion for subsequent outbursts were were thereby brought to light.-Victo- ria Colonist

A PROTEST

Tn a suit over the use of a party line, a NeW York state judge has ruled that five minutes are enough for any telephone conversation. But protest has arisen.
 What, it is asked by some, can one woman say to another in five minutes? One can scarcely get a good start in less than ten
 It seems the fuss that inspired the judges decision resulted from the long talks the girls in a certain family were having with their beaus every evening, often tying up the party line for 30 minutes at a stretchi
 Youngsters will be quick to point out that the judge, being an elderly man, and having conducted his own court ship before the telephone came into common use, can scercely know just how long a couple in love ought to talk over a telephone.
 Only five minutes of talk allowed and two young hearts bursting with prose poems crying for utteraneel Can middleaged judges be altogether for getful of their own courting days when they sat for hours in parlors. talking much and saying but little?
 True, after they are married, lovers have not so much to say to each other. wife. at his office, in the busiest hour of the day, he often thinks a five minute talk is long enough. But that is all the more reason why speech in the eourting days should be unconfined. Shall the outgiying of two 1 fond hearts be measured by the minute l hand of a clock? Nol Let 'em talk 1 It may be too often a long time be- 1 tween words after they are married.

Market News

BOSTON. Dec. 25-The Commercial Bulletin tomorrow will say:
 The demand for wool has been moderate during the past week, but some of the very low combing wools are commanding slight increase in prices. Medium and fine wools are inclined to tend slightly lower It is considered doubtful if any legislation favorable to the wool industry can be passed at the short session with the emergency tariff bill in its present form.
 The goods market is only moderate ly active, a general reduction in wages Of 223a per cent in all the wooden mills is considered inevitable.

REBUILDING FACES

For long ages of time man felt him. self compelled to travel through life with the face he had when he started out upon his journey. But not so now. He can change his face, if he pleases and has the price.
 One no longer need cut off his nose to spite his face. He may have the nose rebuilt; or the face remade. So asserts pr. Julien Bourguet, noted sur geon of Paris, who has just arrived in this country. Dr. Bourguet has come to rebuild deformed or displeasing noses of American clients. He is an expert reconstructor Of faces, spe- cializing in noses.
 'The war worked wonders for plastic surgery" the doctor said. The war gave surgeons in France unlimited op portunities to undo what shells had done to human faces.
 If the war hasn't remade human na- ture. and there are some who fear it hasn't, it undoubtedly advanced the art of remalxing human faces, and thus has made the world brighter for those who wish to look from behind a face different than the one they have. Now they may hope with considerable con fidence for rebuilt face.

MAKING X-RAY TUBES

The manufacture of X-ray tubes for commercial use is one of the most in teresting processes in connection with the development of the art of the X-ray to it's present position of importance as an almost invaluable ally of surgery and medicine. Tn the research labora- tories of the General Electric company at Schenectady, N. Y. much of this work today is centered.
 Wrought or ductile tungsten metal forms an essential part of the modern X-ray tube. This metal must be rem dered workable in order that it may be used as filaments for the cathode or heating element of the tube, while the metal also enters into the con struction of the anode or X-ray target at which the X-rays are generated and from which they arc radiated to the subject under examination. The pre- cess of making tungsten ductile ir- wolves the following operations
 Purification of tungsten oxide by dissolution in acid and precipitation, producing it in a fine, pure powder
Arizona republican., 1920-12-26

This purified tungsten oxide is passed through hot furnaces in an atmos- phere of hydrogen and, when removed after a treatment cf about 22 hours, has become a metallic powder. The metallic powder is now pressed into rods under tremendous pressure
 These rods are then specially treated by heating almost to the melting point which causes a shrinking of the rod and a consequent increase in dense ness. At this stage the rods ere ex- tremely brittle when cold and can not be worked in this condition. So the rods are heated to about 1900 degrees centigrade in an atmosphere Of hydro- gen and then rapidly passed through a swaging machine, which through suc- cessive operations gradually reduces the size of the rod. X-ray targets are made from these rods, while others are drawn through diamond dies into wire for filaments-Boston Transcript.

cLIM ZINC

The crumbling stone cross atop the steeple of an old church was to be re- paired
 It was a high, smooth steeple, fash toned cunningly of stone in a time when architecture was less utilitarian than now.
 A steeple- jack labored for two weeks to reach the cross with rope and tackle and often he would slip back two feet after he had ascended three. And a great throng, eyes directed to the skies, watched the man climbing thus slowly tward the cross.
 As each days toiling brought him closer to its outstretched arms, he would say, 'I'n yet get to that cross And, afSer two weeks. he reached 1t

 Some saw in the mans act jAt n stunt while other perceived inihe crawling figure the symbol of all AI- manjty struggling endlessly up Ae dazzling heights towards the ideal Ae cross represents. E9\
 Up these heights, over many differ ent roads, man is seen at times adA vancing; and at times halttng stumb- ling and falling back-but every cent ury finds him bit higher up the rug ged slope.
 But, unlike the fellow on the steeple, man will never reach the top. For when he arrives at the place he thought was his goal, he discovers there are still higher steps to ascend toward the beckoning symbol of per lection.
 T must go on," he says. and so, un- dismayed. he resumes his age-old l journey. Thus does humanity progress. striving endlessly for unattainable per- lection, ever upward toward the stars.
