Many people have asked me,

mind in establishing the Davis Cup.
The answer can be found in every
city throughout the country. Twenty
years ago when the cup was estab

people. Today hundreds of thous-

and young women, are playing ten

Lawn tennis is no longer rich

Lawn tennis, not only has, become
nationalized-it has become inter.

They Do Not Twinkle

GLARS do not really twinkle. They
- are immensely distant suns. and
the light goes out from them as
evenly and as steadily as light goes
out from the sun that shines on the
world and the other planets of our
small! system. The light of these dis
tant suns. which we call stars, does
reach us in a flashing or twinkling
way, but the fault, if il is a fault.
is due to the atmosphere which sur
rounds the little orb on which we live.
Far down on or near the horizon
the twinkling of a star is most per-
ceptible and at. or near the zenith,
which is that part of the sky directly
overhead. the twinkiing is much less
pronounced and often imperceptible.
1t is the atmosphere, with it's power
or its habit of refracting light waves
which makes the stars appear to
twinkle. The degree of perceptibility
Of the twinkle of a star varies with
which the light waves pass. An
astronomer explains it in this way:
The twfnkling of a star is pro-
duced by the variable refraction of
its light by air or uneven density
and by the interference of rays of
|
different paths. As the result of this
irregular rafraction we see the light
of the star concentrated continually
at slightly different points-hat is
the star wrinkles and turou 9Th in
reference of light rays one color is
temporarily obliterated and another
intensified. For instance. the green
rays may be blotted out for the mo-
ment and the red ray strengthened.
SO that the quality OF the light re-
ceived from the star, varies continu-
ally to slight degree. A star near
the horizon where refraction effects
are greatest, owing to the highly
variable density and ,unstsadiness of
the air close to the surface of the
earth. wrinkles continually. and often
flashes light of different celors."
A telescope intensifies the apparent
twinkling of a star, and this flashing
is very much more troublesome to
observers On some nights than 81
others.
