BETELGUEsE

From Giant Stars by George El
 lery Hale, in the Scribner.
 There can be no doubt that the diameter of Betelguese exceeds 100, 900, ,000 miles, and it is probably much greater
 The extremely small angle sub tended by this enormous disk is ex- plained by the great distance of the star, which is about 160 light years That is to say, light travelling at the rate of 1S6,000 miles per second spends 160 years in crossing the space that lies between us and Betel- gerse, whose tremendous proportions therefore seem so minute in the most powerful telescopes.
 This actual measure of the diane ter of Betelgeuse supplies a new and striking test of RusselFs and Hertz sprung's theory of dwarf and gNnt stars Just before the war Russell showed that our old methods of classifying the stars according to their spectra must be radically changed. Stars in an early stage of their life history must be regarded as diffuse gaseous masses, enor- mously larger than our sun. and, at a much lower temperature. Their density must be very low, and their state that of perfect gas. These are the giants" In the slow pro cess of time they contract through constant loss of heat by radiation. But despite this loss, the heat pro- duced by contraction causes their temperature to rise, while their color changes from red to bluish whith.' This process of shrinkage and rise of temperature goes on so long as they remain in the state of a per-' feet gas. But as soon as contrac- tion has increased the density of the gas beyond certain point the cycle reverses and the temperature begins to fall. The bluish- white light of the star turns yellowish, and we en- ter the dwarf stage, of which our own sun Is representative.

Export Demand Is
 Bullish In Effect
 on Wheat Market
By Associated Press

Chicago August S.,,Improved ex- port demand. together with prospec- tive falling off in the domestic move ment from rural sources had bullish effect on the wheat market today Prices closed from to 2&c net higher, with September s1.22@1.22Nc, and December $1.25 25@1.25Ac. Corn gained Zc to % ole. and oats 1sc to A@%c. In provisions the outcome varied from 2ac decline to Sc ad- vance.
 Germany and Austria were reported as having bought 50o,000 bushels or more of wheat, and it was said other European countries were also pur- chasing, helped by sharp advance in sterling exchange. Besides, gossip was current that Germany had ob- tained s10,000,000 credit in New York, and that the United States govern ment crop report tomorrow would prove bullish. A good domestic mill- ing demand was likewise factor ill turning the market upgrade. On the other hand. an increase of nearly lo,- O0O. 900 bushels in the visible supply total had a depressing influence. which, however, was short lived, as the grain had already been hedEed Furthermore, receipts at primary points today did not come up to the volume expected, and there were pre- dictions in some quarters that arrivals this week would be reduced 50 per cent. With such an outlook, the mar ket closed at about the top figures of the day.
 Corn and oats averaged higher ow- ing to sympathy with wheat, and as a result of advices that the German fodder crop was severely damaged by drouth.
 Packers selling caused late break in provisions. more than offsetting the effect of higher hog values.

The year 1920 identifies the beginning of recession in prices and depression In industries and trade. Yet the international trade for that year was the largest on record.

STERLING MAKES A RISE OF MORE
 THAN II CENTS
Stock Market Is Irregular, Trading Is Light and Net Changes Are Un-
 important
By Associated Press

New York, Aug s.-A rise of more than lie in sterling exchange was tho outstanding feature of today's financial markets. The rate advanc- ed to 3.7t1a as against Saturdays close of 3.601sc, a gain of about 16c over the low point of the last fort night.
 In the stock market the move ment was irregular on light trading and net changes were unimportant. The unusual upturn In sterling was rot associated with any specific de- velopments of the day. The recent arrivals of gold from abroad, al- though of undoubted influence, on the course of the exchange, hardly accounted for the sudden marketing up of sterling to an extent to which has no parallel for a long time past. Before the opening the cables brought news of an advance of three cents In London, and with the be- ginning of trading here the rise was carried forward rapidly, closing around the highest of the day.
 Short covering was regarded as the chief factor in the movement Recently there has been falling off In offerings of commercial bills against exports of cotton, grain and toodstuffs, but the volume of these bills is expected soon to increase
 Speculative selling in anticipation Of such an increase apparently was over-extended, placing the market on such a strong technical basis that the shorts were caught in an ex- posed position. Other foreign ex- change rates were strong in connec- tion with sterling advancing from to 50 points.
 The strength of sterling affected the stock market, after an early de- cline. Quotations eased off in the forenoon, with oils, equipments, cop pers, steels and rubbers leading in the recession. Sugars was especially susceptible with the pressure, owing rerhaps to uncertainty as to the ac- ton to be taken this week on the American sugar dividend. Late in the Gay the market stiffened, under the influence of sterling's sustained bouyancy and buying of rails.
 Notwithstanding the large increase in surplus reserves shown in last weeks bank statement. there was no relaxation of money rates. Call funds ruled at per cent.
 Reactionary tendencies were evi- dent In most popular bonds, but re- sessions In the main were slight. Total sales, par value, s10,660, 900. Liberty bonds were irregular.
