TWINKLING STARS

BY Garrett p. Serviss.

Now. the purpose Of this state
ment of the great difference be-
tween the apparent size Of the sun
and that Of the stars Of space is to
point out it's effect upon the appear
ance of the light rays coming from
these objects to our eyes after hav-
ing necessarily first passed through
the earth's atmosphere, for the
seat, or cause of the twinkling OF
the stars is in the atmosphere, and
not in any special popularity of
starlight, or in any condition en-
countered by the light in outer
space before 1t enters the atmos-
.phere.
In a word, the twinkling is due
to Irregularities of density and Of
motion in the air. Even when the
air seems to ordinary observation
to be quite steady, there are al
most always little currents moving
hither and thither, and these are
accompanied by variations Of the
density of adjacent portions Of air.
But the refraction varies when
ever the density does, so that II
narrow beam of starlight has to
pass through a considerable thick
ness Of air whose density Is va
riable, while little air currents are
continually disturbing the relations
Of the denser to the rarer portions.
the inevitable result is not only
that the ray flickers unsteadily, but
that flashes Of different colors OF
the spectrum dart from the twink
ling star.
The cause Of the rapid appear
ance and disappearance of the varf-
Gus prismatic colors is probably
the interference of the disturbed
light waves with one another. The
rapid changes in the amount Of re-
fraction and the continual meeting
of waves which have been. some
more and some less, refracted re-
suit in alternate extinctions and
re-enforcements OF the light or OF
certain Of the colors. Where two
waves meet in opposite phases OF
vibration they neutralize each other,
and there is momentary or local
darkness.

A great deal of the blame con-

Home is the latter's sacred pre-
cinct, and very often she resents
any one else's intrIs'ion, even her
own daughters! ~, If she does
not resent it, somehow the sight of
another, and a very poor amateur
at that, boggling over an apple
tart, or choosing stewing mutton
for roasting, tries her economic
mind to such an extent that she
feels constrained to do the job
herself.
To a business girl with little time
to spend learning the A to u of do.
mesticity, this is a big advantage.
But many an intelligent maid, anx-
ious and willing to learn, enters
married life hopelessly incapable OF
boiling a potato, merely because she
has been barred a real opportunity
Of trying her hand at home.
There are, of course, schools which
give instruction, but the average
city girl has little leisure or incltna-
ton to attend a course of lessons.
Also, there Is no experience like
home experience, no training like
home training. Often, too, a girl
could not attend a class, whereas
she might be able to fill in an odd
moment or two at home, solving the
mysteries of cakemaking, or being
shown how to turn out a room.
Mother won't let me try!' is a
cry that goes up from many and
many home today. In the end. the
desire to be able to do these things
vanishes for lack of opportunity.
The last thing in the . world ]
would venture to accuse mother of
is selfishness. Yet by this attitude
of hers she acts in the very worst in
terests Of her children. though she
would probably have the shock of
her life If you told her so.

Storrow's thoughts went back to
that over-stately and over-secluded
home, stamped with the ponderous
seal of its well-being standing SO
imperturbably and so firmly estab-
lished in the upper airs of that
hungrily crowded city where all

Yet its dignity was a retrospec-

She stopped short and looked at

Famous Astronomer and Writer on 4
Scientific Subjects Of Popular
Interests.

n ERSONS who know nothing
else about the stars, at least
= know that they twinkle. In
fact, the twinkling of stars appears
to be a perpetual source of popu-
lar curiosity, and the astronomer
hears few questions more frequent
ly asked than this: why do the
stars twinkle? Is it because they
are all in flames?"
To this it might be replied: The
sun is a star; does the sun twinkle?
Since the sun does not twinkle,
though 1t is a star, it is clear that
there must be some special condi-
tions affecting the stars, but not
affecting the sun, which causes the
twinkling of the former. Now, this
special condition depends upon an
gular magnitude, i. e., apparent
size, which, in turn, is function
of distance. The sun presents to
us a round disk a trifle more than
half a degree in diameter. it's ap-
parent size being very nearly the
same as that of-the moon. But the
sun, whose actual diameter is
about $685. miles, is only 93,O0O,-
900 miles distant, it's distance be-
ing less than 10S times it's diameter.
On the other hand, the nearest
stars, other than the sun, are so
far away that their distance ex-
ceeds their diameter millions of
times, so that their apparent size
to our eyes is reduced to an al
most immeasurably minute point.
In fact, until last winter the
apparent size of no star had been
ascertained simply on account of
the extreme minuteness. Then
Michelson's interferometer applied
to the gigantic Mt. Wilson tele-
scope succeeded in detecting the
apparent or angular diameter of the
bright star Betelgeuse, which turn
ed out to be only 0.047 forty
seven one thousandths) of a second
of an arc, which is about one
<0.000th of the angular diameter Of
the sun.

children, she thought of John Bas-
com, and wondered what would have
been their lot IL she had followed
her mothers advice and married
according to the dictates Of common
sense instead of romance. But she
never regretted. and the sweetness
in her eyes and the patience In her
face bore eloquent witness that love
is the greatest force in the world.
Back in her native village the
man she had Tilted carried her
image. After his wife died he still
thought Of Jenny Birdsong. But
his own growing boy crowded the
picture of his old love more and
more to the background. John

could cause worry to his stolid

one thing she had counted on as her
unfailing support, her splendid
health, served notice that she had

Her local doctor sent her to a

drove his words home that she was
suffering from a serious affection

Her terror at this ultimatum

the hope he held out was based on
