seus, containing one of the most in
teresting stars in the heavens, the
variable star Algol, known as the
Demon star.
In astronomy the term variable
when applied to stars always refers
to a change in brightness. There are
very many variable stars in the
heavens, but the changes of Algol
are particularly pronounced. Its nor
NAL magnitude is 20, and it is the
second brightest star in the group of
Perseus. But at regular periodic in
tervals its brilliancy sinks to that of
"a magnitude and then with equal
regularity its original mag
1'itude. At its minimum brightness
the loss in light emitting power has
been as great as two-thirds. This
occurs every two days and twenty
hours, approximately, the decline
taking about four and one-haif hours
and the recovery about three and
cEe-half. The minimum stage itself
lasts about twenty minutes. The de-
ciease is great enough to make the
phenomenon observable to the naked
eye by a comparison with the bright
ness of the ~neighboring stars.
One should have no difficulty IN
Locating Algol by means of the map,
and for those who wish to observe
this remarkable phenomenon we
give the times of the observable
minima during the month of Octo-
Der: 0:55 a. m. on the sixth, 9:40 p.
m. on the eighth, $50 p. m. on the
eleventh, $3.50 p. m. on the 14th,
2:35 am. on twenty-sixth, 11.25 p.
m. on the twenty-eighth and S:15
p. m. on the thirty-first. We are in
debted for this data to the Monthly
Evening Sky Map, for which they
were calculated by w. A. Mason.
Many years ago an astronomer
suggested a possible explanation of
the Algol phenomenon, which has
since been substantiated and estab-
lished as correct. 1t is very simple:
Algol is not a single body, but is
re ally composed of two, which re-
volve about their common center of
gravity in orbits. The plane in which
these orbits lie is so located that
periodically one of the bodies moves
into a position between US and the
other body. Since there is only n
minimum of brightness in each COM
plete period, one of the stars must
be bright and the other one compar-
atively dark. The minimum occurs

brighter one; if both were of appre-
ciable brilliancy there would be two
minimum stages in each period, the
relative intensity depending upon the
relative l~uminosities of the compo-
nents of the binary star.
Another Variable
Beta Lyrae. the second brightest
star in the group Lyra, which con-
tains Vega, is also a variable al
though its variations are not by any
means as remarkable in degree as
those of Algol and can not be stud
led without a telescope. In this case
the variation is going on continually
from a minimum, and vice versa,
without any period of constant lum-
mostly. as in the ase of Algol, and
all the minimum of brightness are
not of the same value. Alternate
niinima are all equal and less bright
than the intervening ones, which are
also all equal to one another. The
maxima are all equal.
This type of light variation can
also be explained by an eclipse theo-

The planet Venus, the beautiful!

Western sky after sunset. at
tains its greatest brilliancy on the
twenty-irst. Its stellar magnitude
will then be minus 4.3." Its near
es. bright neighbor among the fixed
stars is the red Antares, with which
its white light forms a remarkable
contrast. Antares is a first magni-
tude star; strictly speaking its mag
nitude is not quite as great as the
standard first, but is really IL. and
Venus is over $50 times as bright.
Seen in a telescope, Venus now pre-
sents a fairly thin crescent phase,
although this would never be sus-
pected when observing it with the
naked eye alone.
Mercury will be a rather favor
able position for observation for a
few days before and after the thir-
tieth. 1t will be about seventeen de-
grees above the horizon-at sunrise,
unfortunately.

I ry. For if the two stars composing
the binary are both bright and are
passing about each other in very
close orbits the non-eclipse stage
would be very short, indeed, and h
different minima would depend upon
which of the two stars was being
eclipsed. One of the stars may be
assumed to be somewhat less bright
than the other. There are other
kinds of variables which an eclipse
theory does not fit SO well, and there
is no doubt still another cause for
the variation in brightness of stars
which is internal and not of an x
ternal nature, such as an eclipse
by another body. We know that
stars are great seething, active mass

Announcement is officially made
that the Bay-Waveland Yacht and
Athletic Club will formally open the
doors of its handsome new club
house. on the beach front, corner OF
Washington street, on the evening
of Saturday, May goth. The event
will be epochal in the social history
of Bay st. Louis and Waveland. A
ball and reception will mark the cele-
bration of the formal opening.
With this announcement all spec
ulation as to the day of opening, so
eagerly looked for, is now set aside,
and anticipation takes its place. No
event will be looked forward to with
such general expectation. And it is
well, for it is going to be an event
that will carry with it more than in
the ordinary sense and implies much
for the community and its people.
Members will be admitted on their
membership cards, and are requested
to wear white suits, while the ladies
will be in evening dress. The COM
mittee in charge announces that invi-
tations for all guests will be issued
at $1.00 each upon written applica-
ton by members. to secretary, giving
full name of each guest, money to
accompany application.
The club building is large and
roomy and the exterior has been
treated in that simple and tasty man
ner which makes it attractive and in
viting. The furnishings are all in
harmony with this plan. In all it is
indeed a great credit to the COM
munity and the Gulf Coast, and the
result of the clubs work in compara-
lively so short a time is cause for
congratulation.

Attendance at Courthouse Wednes-
day Night in Interest of Introduc-
ing the Strawberry Industry for
Bay St. Louis and Vicinity Well
Attended.
COMMITTEE APPOINTED TO So
LICIT ACREAGE.
General Discussion of the Project
Brought Out the Fact That Senti-
ment Favors the Industry Here and
That 1t Can Be Successful-Some
of the Best Men Interested In Ag-
riculture Behind the Project.

A called meeting of the commun-
ity interested was called at the court
house Wednesday night in the inter
est of the project looking to introduce
the strawberry growing industry IN
Bay St. Louis and vicinity. This was
in sequence of the recent visit OF
County Agent S. F. O'Neal and par
ty to Hammond, La, with such pur-
pose in view.
There was quite a gathering OF
parties interested. Leo W. Seal was
elected chairman of the meeting, I.
E. Kellar secretary.
A talk followed by Mr.. O'Neal
the county agent, explaining the OBJ
ject of the meeting. He dwelt on
the possibilities of this section as
to truck growing, especially the
strawberry. He gave statement of
what he saw in and around Ham
mond, La, on the occasion of his Ie-
cent visit there. His remarks were
conclusive and left no doubt as to
not only the possibility but the ad-
visibility of introducing the industry
of strawberry growing locally.
A GENERAL DISCUSSION.
This was followed by general dis
cussion of the probable success of
the proposed movement, the require
ments necessary, organizing, fnanc-
ing, acreage, etc. On this subject
there were interesting remarks made
by H. S. Weston, E. j. Leonhard, A.
Scafde, George R. Rea, j. N. Vairin,
E. J. Gex and others. 1t was regret
ted by members of the Hammond
party that it was impossible for all
to have been present at the meeting,
another engagement previously made
precluded their attending.
COMMITTEE APPOINTED.
The result of the discussion was
that much information was brought
forth and will prove of assistance in
getting the project launched and
firmly established. A committee
was appointed to ascertain if suffici-
ent acreage could be pledged to JUS
tify a permanent organization being
entered into in order to foster the
industry and to report at meeting
to be called at later dae. This com
mittee is composed of Joe L. Favre,
Frank B. Pittman, 7. E. Kellar, S. +.
O'Neal, A. Scafide, J. H. Rood OF
Waveland, Ed Green or Lake Shore,
Eddie Favre of Kiln.
The general sentiment of the
meeting was in favor of the project,
and it is very probable the matter
will be entered into with a vim and
determination that in advance as
sures it's success.
The Echo is deeply interested in
this matter and hopes for it's early
consummation. We will keep our
readers posted from time to time. We
hope next year will realize the pres
