WE OWE THE SUCCESS OF THE PANAMA CANAL TO COL. ROOSEVELTS WISE CHOICE OF THE RIGHT MAN

How has it come about that the admirable results 1 have enumerated have been achieved? The explana- ton is very simple-from the very beginning of the work till the pres ent moment politics, political influ- ences, have had no voice or part i'll the control of it. For this beneficient exclusion supreme credit must be given to President Roosevelt, for i'll selecting men to have charge of the enterprise he made expert fitness and efficiency the sole tests, and the standard he fixed at the outset has been maintained till the present time. This was his first great service: the second was scarcely less valuable and far-reaching in its influence. Having found the right man to take the leadership, he a bestowed upon hini absolute authority and full responsi- bility. Tn doing this he was accused of exercising powers which were not given him by law, but in the end his course obtained the full approval of congress, which by formal enactment made his conduct legal.

IT TAKES 16O YEARS FOR THE LIGHT TO TRAVEL TO THE
 EARTH FROM BETELGEUSE!

There can be no doubt that the diameert of Betelgeuse exceeds 100,- 100000 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. This is to say, light travelling at the rate of 186,000 miles per second spends 160 years in crossing the space that lies between us and Betel- geuse, whose tremendous proportions therefore seem so minute in the most powerful telescopes.
 This actual measure of the diam eter Of Betelgeuse supplies new and striking test of Russells and Hertzsprung's theory of dwarf and giant 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, enormous ly larger than our sun, and at a much lower temperature. Their. den sity must be very low, and their state that of a 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 drced by contraction causes their temperature to rise, while their color change sfrom red to bluish white This process of shrinkage and rise of temperature goes on so long as they remain in the state of a perfect gas. But as soon as contraction has in creased 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 enter the dwarf stage, of which our own sun is a representative.
