4ns about the larger This does not ac-
count for the huge change in amount,
but only the quality of light. 1t seems
queer that no star seems to occupy the
position of the predicted one as theory
indicates. 1t seems the more we learn
about these stars the more puzzling
they become.
The writer OF this article presented a
paper on the probable temperatures OF
the planets from experimental measure
ments made by Drs. Coblentz and Lamp
land at the Lowell Observatory in Flag
staff. Ariz.. OF tie heat sent from the
planets. Mr.. Menzel emphasized the
fact that the results were only tentative
for he had received some recent material
that might affect the computed tempera-
lures considerably, probably lowering
them
The problem was very complicated by
the corrections for the absorption of
energy by the earthS atmosphere,
which also varies greatly according TO
the water vapor present. AS 1t Is. 1t
seems that the surface OF the moon is
very hot. perhaps hotter than boiling
water under the direct illumination of
the sun. while during the night 1t must
be very nearly the absolute zero. The
surface of Mars appears to be heated
during the day and may rise consid-
erably above the freezing point OF
water
In the case of Venus, however We
meet with complicsfion. for we do not
know the rotation period of the planet
The writer showed how it might be pos
sible by a careful study to determine
the rotation of this planet. The tempera-
ture there Is probably fifteen or twenty
degrees more than the earth's. For
Jupiter and Saturn the results are fairly
definite. Both must radiate some energy
of their own. but even then are as much
as hundred degrees below zero cent?
grade at the radiating surface. Saturn
being little warmer than Jupiter. Prob
ably the greater density of the latter is
due to just this fact.
The Einstein theory in all its in
tricacies was discussed with all the evi-
dence for its belief. However. DR.. Shap-
ley showed that as far as most of the
ordinary measurements of time and
space are concerned the theory of rela-
only when we get into the great dis
tances and masses OF the stars that we
can find anything definite about it. The
results OF the recent eclipse visible in
Australia will not be ready for several
months. but the general opinion Of most
of the physicists and astronomers present
was that the theory would be verified.
They also agreed with this statement
said to have been made by Einstein

DIR. Darwin's Bold statement.

At the joint meeting with the Physi-
cal Society DR.. Darwin. giving math-
ematical discussion of some of the
characteristics OF light. made very
bold statement. 1t IS one of the fun
damental laws of physics that energy
neither can be created nor destroyed.
though 1t is difficult to prove this. for
experiments can never attain quite the
accuracy desired.
DR.. Darwin. who is considered an
authority on the subjec. advanced the
idea that perhaps this law Is not true
for a single atom. and that If we could
control these forces would be pos
sible either to create Or destroy energy.
AS 1t Is. he showed that on the average
as much energy is created as is de-
stroyed. so things are much as they
were before.
IT rs interesting to compare the tenor
OF the papers presented at the meetings
this year with those of, say. ten years
ago. At that time astronomers were on
the mere threshold of the important ad-
vsnces recently made and the subjects
dealt with only pure astronomical prob
lens. To-day. with the recent rise OF
astrophysics. astronomy has become as
important link in the sciences as
chemistry and physics.
In the stars we find temperatures far
beyond anything that can be produced
by laboratory means and with the mat
ter subjected TO this great heat we are
able by analyzing the light emitted by
the atoms in the star TO carry the
physical researches far beyond wha, II
was thought possible. II is OF little
wonder then that the most important of
the discussions dealt with the physical
side instead of any other.

DIR. Louis Bells Paper.

The final sessions of the American
Astronomical Society at the Massa-
chusetts Institute OF Technology saw
many interesting papers presented. One
of the most important experimental re-
suits that has been obtained since Ruth
(erford succeeded in breaking up the
atoms Of nitrogen by bombarding them
with helum particles was that which
was communicated by DR.. Louis Bell.
Atoms are now known to consist OF
electrical structures. a nucleus of posi-
tive electricity surrounded by electrpns
revolving around II like planets around
the sun. As there Is no reason to think
that one particle of electricity is differ
cnt from any other we should expect
that some atoms little more unstable
than others might break up.
For some reason or other the helium
8toia seems to be very stable although,
g is usually thought of as being COM
bination OF four hydrogen particles. and
Rutherford over year ago succeeded in
knocking hydrogen atoms from many
materials by shooting them with these
"helium bullets" IL takes an enormous
quantity of energy to break up the atom
but Or. Bell has succeeded in obtaining
htlium from carbon.
In his researches DR.. Bell made the
usc Of brilliant arc'light with bright
ness of nine hundred million candle
power a square inch A current of a
hundred and fifty smpores and driv.
Ing potential Of eighty volts produced
this effect
IN the hot core of the arc where the
carbon was vaporized the atoms were
so greatly abused that some OF them
broke up into helium and when the light
was analyzed II gave the characteristic
spectrum OF that element

CAMBRIDGE. Mass, Dec S0.-The as
tronomers who met this week at Har-
ward and the Massachusetts, Institute
of Technology heard two papers which
gave additional data on the size and
extent OF the universe. The findings
confirmed those of Shapley. indicating
that if a light ray were to leave the
earth at the present moment at 1885,,
coo miles a second 1t would have to
travel 100000 years before it would
reach the boundary of our stellar
system.
Within the depths Of space are many
stars that are irresularly variable in
light. the cause of which is not known.
IL was mentioned that the measure
ients made at Mount Wilson Observa-
tory indicate that one of these. the giant
red star Betelguese. was actually
changing In size Measurements Of the
diameter made year ago on many
stars are verified but this one alone
~eems TO have shrunk.
3 The previous value showed that if we
replaced our sun by this giant the
earth itself would still be within it and
tie outermost boundaries would be
reached only at the orbit of Mars. At
present it would reach little beyond that
Of the earth. 1t is possible that the
light variation depends on the size and
later measurements may show that this
star will again grow larger. The work
cf DR.. Van Maanen shows that Betel-
seuse is SO far from us that 1t takes
over three hundred years for its light

Electric Cannon.

A great variety Of electric cannon,
based upon electromagnetic principles,
ejecting a steel shell through one or
more solenoids, have been developed
from time to time but with no prac-
teal results. A French engineer,
Fauchon-Yilleplee, has worked out q
new type of electric cannon which is
described in Revue Generate de
rElectricite. The basic principle Of
the new gun is the fact that a cur
rent-carrying movable conductor will
travel across a strong magnetic field.
The author built during the war a
model of such a gun, which shot 50
gram projectile at a muzzle velocity
Of 200 meters, piercing easily a large
hardwood block The author directs
attention to the fact that because the
gun windings are used for only a
fraction of second. enormous
amounts of current may be used-ot
the order of 100000 amperes and
overland supplied by fywheel
dynamo or a storage battery.-Scien.

France Exportind Bricks.

The shock of war has Jared US
loose from so many of our ancient
beliefs and practices that we have
become somewhat hardened to sur
prises. But we have not entirely lost
the faculty of being startled. We
have known France as an exporter
Of bronzes, jewelry, hats, gowns. per-
fumes-beautiful and delicate things
Of adornment and pleasure. We were
somewhat bewildered, therefore, to
learn recently that the French are
showing great activity in the making
Of the unlovely and prosaic brick. II
seems that bricks fashioned In France
are being offered at less than quota
ton on the local product. And Kent,
mind you. is the citadel Of the British
brick industry.-The Nations Bust

AT HIGH SCHOOL AUDITORIUM
OUR NEW MINISTER.

A comedy dram in three acts will
be presented by the High School,
Friday, March 10th
at 8 O'Clock p. m.
The scene of "Our New Minister"
Is laid in Hardscrabble. The arrival
of Thaddeus Strong, q fine type Of
College Chap, wearing modern dress
and easy manner startles the inhabi-
tants when he announces himself as
The New Minister. The Constable
had taken him for horse thief.
The Village Crouch wouldn't believe
him because he didn't dress like a
Servant of the Lord. Strong hsa
sense of humor. He writes novels.
However, he comes to make Hard
scrabble better place in which to
live. He defends the weak, exposes
the shams and runs counter to
pillar of the church, who has been
instrumental nj sending a man to
prison for 4 crime that was more
than half his own. Strong falls in
love with the beautiful daughter OF
the convict, and has fight on his
lands in defending her father, the
father to whom religion has brought
cheer and fortitude to that heart
BOWED down. The characters in the
play are well contrasted types, and
ears mingle with laughter through
1ut. The Village Constable stands
out all by himself as one of the most !
humorous, self-satisfied minions of I
