HUGE STARS RESEMBLE
MINUTE MOLECULES.


That huge stars act in some re-
spects like the minute molecules ~
gas has been revealed by re-
searches made at the Mount Wilson
Observatory OF the Carnegie Insti-
tuition Of Washington; Prof. +. u.
scarex. astronomer OF the Mount
Wilson Observatory announced in
an address at the Carnegie Insti-
tuition OF Washington last night.
Physicists have evolved the ki-
netic theory OF gases. one conse-
quence OF which is that in a mix
ture OF gases containing molecules
OF different masses, the heavier
molecules. on the average. move
with slower speeds than the lighter
particles. Moreover. there is a den-
mite numerical relation between
speed and mass. Technically this
, is known as the principle Of the
eQuipartition of energy. which
means simply that the average en-
, ergy Of motion OF a heavy molecule
is the same as that OF 4 light one.
Now the astronomer has shown
I that this same principle applies 10
! the stars. at least TO certain stars
and within certain limitations. The
massive stars have the smallest
velocities, while the small stars. on
the other hand. move with high
/ speeds.
The principle OF equipartition ..
one OF the large class OF statistical
results which play so important a
part in modern science" said Prof.
| Sea-es. 1t applies TO groups 81
stars as to groups of molecules. but
In sra
as. for example. fl is a valid statis-
tical result that the average he!Eh'
OF some OF the Northern races Is
greater than that OF the Mediter-
ranean types. although for individ-
uals the reverse may be tue"
This equal distribution of the
energy Of motion can scarcely hold
vigorously for the stars. sIncc surl
a state can exist only Whcu the
motions are completely at rsud"
I which is not the case with the star
/ Some II them move as groups. hay-
/ ing motions which &C parallel ard
/ equal. That IL holds even approx
mately is surprising. for in EaS
the state OF equipartition is brought
7 about by the collisions and clos
: encounters OF the molecules Bar
I the stars do not collide. or ~ least
SO rafei! that IN praCtlce VIC may
consider that their motions take
place without mutual Interference.
How then. has the equal dis
! tr.butiUn Of energy among the
stars come about. We do not
know. but obviously its existence Is
a circumstance that must be con-
sidered in any theory which pre-
! tends to account for the develop
ment Of the stellar universe"
This peculiar behavior OF the
stars results from an extensive in
vestigation OF the masses. densities
and diameters of stars of all classes
1 by Prof. Seares. combined with re-
cent measures OF stellar velocity by
Prof. Adams and his associates at
1 Mount Wilson.

NOODLES LUMBER

Woodless lumber, in boards ls
feet wide and 800 feet long-nearly
as high as the Einel Tower. the
worlds highest structure-has been
produced in a plant recently erect
ed near New Orleans.
Trees do Eot produce these
boards, each OF which contains su:-
fcient material for three five-room
bungalows. They are made from
the same plant that gives up GUY

BaFasse is the residue OF the su-
gar cane which is left after a..
cane has been squeezed through
heavy rollers for the purpose oE
extracting from il its suGar-cor-

recently IL has been used as fuel
under the boilers of the sugar nl'li>.
But IL contains so much moisture
that. its fuel value is very low. and
il is so light and bulky that f'"l-
ing the boilers with IL was very
wssteful of labor, and IL is now
being replaced as fuel by oil an.

In converting Il into lumber the

or eat s a. m. hot cakes fresh from
the Child's griddle. Otherwise one
is strictly and unforglvably de-

ture and art that has suddenly hit
a town that built theaters and
named them for Al Jolson, Nora
Bayes and Julien Eltinge.
Entertainment Is faddish and
run into alleys and dingy cellars.
In the Town Hall. which started
out to sound such high ideals and
ended with a buck and wing coon
show. there Is a KraZy Kat ballet
pantomime. founded on the comic
strip of the same name.
Mixing the aesthetic with the
stuffed club Is producing some
marvellous hybrids. The concerts
by the clavilux. bilious symphonies
in colors thrown on a screen. have
stirred the critics to rhapsodles.

than an afternoon at the monkey

Somehow the present New York
fads make the average looker-on
sigh for the days OF charades and
appie-bobbins. Nobody goes to see
paintings any more with such old
fashioned labels as, for instance.

see the smeary. gummy splashes

is having its fling.

story writer. to Aperica more than
paid for his trip. The countless in
terviews with him and resultant
publicity so increased the sales of
his various novels that his pub
fishers had to run of special edi-
tions. Oppenheim made perhaps
the best impression with reporters
of any of the recent visiting nov
elists. He did not court publicity
but he showed that he appreciated
the honor of being interviewed and
. he did not keep them waiting. He
made good copy. for he would talk
on any subject suggested. He told
friends that he was amazed at the
fund of general information on
world affairs the American reporter
possessed.
