important it is to<11ave a well operating
set of ribs SO as not to impair in any way
our breathing.
eve are as old as our chests are
elastic" says DIR. Willard. 1.-THE moment
the chest loses its elasticity our breath
ing is interfered with and our circulation
becomes disturbed so that an insufficient
quantity of oxygen enters the system.
Natures wise provision for protecting
the vital organs is seen in the general
position of the ribs attached to the breast
and back bones.
"The apex of the heart beats against
the chest between two ribs. The exact
spot is easily discerned and we may, by
observing the pulsations, put our finger
upon it. Should a rojectile, such as a
bullet or a sharp-pointed instrument, en-
ter the tip of the heart through the space
in the ribs at the point where we see the
pulsations, the heart would not be too
seriously disturbed, as it's apex is all mus
Gle. This explains why stabbing affrays, at
which the knife reaches the heart, do not
always prove fatal. Nature has provided
coat of armor protecting the more vital
portions of the heart. The valves are
higher up and in back of a thicker cover
ing of cartilage, while the base of the
heart, its most vital portion, is partially
back of the solid breastbone.
"How ribs sometimes act as lifesavers
is well exemplified in the life of Theodore
Roosevelt. He would have been killed
except for a rib. It happened in Mil
waukee. A bullet from an assassjn's re-
volver struck his rib, followed its course
for a number of inches and then glanced
off. In like manner many a mans life
has been saved by a bullet or sabre point
striking rib over the heart instead of
piercing the space between"
Strangely enough the ribs also foH:n

times showed signs of suffering from a
physical ailment. These people were
often permitted to linger in their suffer
ing from what was called neuritis, neural
gia and even aneurism, because the symp-
toms caused by the extra pair Of ribs
closely resembled these conditions.
But modern surgery has been able to
overcome this difficulty by cutting out
the extra ribs. 1t also frequently hap
pens that another pair of ribs are found
at the lower extremity of the body, be-
low the normal twelfth ribs, but these
cause very little trouble because they are
of cartilagenous nature. In all cases
where extra ribs appear the patients are
anomalies, and biologists seem to see in
this freak condition a throw-back to our
animal ancestors, such as the ape, who
has more ribs than we have.
The contest has disclosed the interest
ing fact that mans mind is constantly
barking back to the Biblical story how
Eve was made from Adams rib. A ques-f
ton frequently asked is: "Has man more
ribs than a woman" It has also been
very helpful in. teaching people that they
are sometimes suffering only from func-
tional disturbances rather than fatal dis
eases.

iliteracy in the state of North Da-

that much had been accomplished in
the eradication of illiteracy. She
declared that the American Legion

county superintendent of the state
had done much in the drive to blot
out illiteracy in North Dakota.
She said that the advance made il

troyed in a twinkling.
From its spectrum and its color
which is inseparably connected with
the observation-disclosures know
that its surface temperature is much
lower than that of the ltn and Of
other bright stars like Vega and
Arcturns. The spectrum Of Antares
shows the presence IN considerable
quantities of chemical compounds,
or combinations of the chemical cle-
ments, on the star, and this is itself
an evidence of color conditions, for
the higher temperatures found
among the stars would produce a
dissertation of compounds into the
simple atoms or make their forma-
ton impossible.
1t is estimated that the surface
temperature of Antares is about
1000 deg. Centigrade. whereas that
of the sun is about 5000 and that
of the blue-white stars about 10000
deg. We wish to emphasize that
Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-07-02

these are surface temperatures, !. e.,
the temperature of the layer Of that
stars atmosphere from which the
light that we see it by is coming.
The internal temperatures of many
are without the shadow of a doubt
very much greater, possibly as high
as a million deg. Centigrade. We
have no method at present of arriv-
ing at anything more than a "scien-
tific guess"
Ares is the Greek name for Mars,
the God of War, and Antares
"rivaling Mars" a name no doubt
given the star baceuse of it's bright
ness and rudy color like that of the
planet Mars. According to the Greek
legend, Scorpio killed Orion the
Hunter and caused the horses of the
sun to throw Phateon from the suns
chariot, which his father, Apollo,
once permitted him to drive.
A Color Sun
1t was recently reported in the
daily press that Prof. Abbott, a no.
table authority on all matters con-
nected with the sun, had found that
the suns radiation would be a few
per cen less this year than usual.
LAS 10 ACoiAJ III a matt Which,
should give us great concern, for
it has long been known to the as
tronomer that the intensity of the
suns radiating power was variable.
There Seems to be certain periodic
variations, as yet unexplained. One
thing that has been noticed Is that
at the time of a maximum of sun
spot activity, when the number and
area of the "black" spots on the sun
are at their greatest, the radiation
of the sui is more powerful than
when the sun Is free from the sun
spots. This appears on the face of
it contradictory, for one would ex-
pect the area OF the dark spots to
cut down the radiation. But it seems
that the same cause which produces
the spots has the effect of increasing
the total output of solar energy. It
is also to be noted that the sunspot
period is about eleven years and
that we now r passing through a
sun-spot minimum.
There are many stars of this kind,
vailed variable" stars. for which ne
better explanation than that of an
internal pulsation, of a name I'M
known, has been brought forward.
1t seems necessary therefore to con-
slider the sur as a weakly variable
star of the same class.

The two great planets-Jupiter,
the largest of the entire solar family,
and Saturn, the ringedplanet-are
still evening stars and in excellent
position for observation throughout
this month. The two planets have
changed their positions with respect
to the star Spica but very little in
the last six months, although q care
full observer would have been able
to note the apparent movement of
each by studying their distances from
the neighboring fixed stars
This is really q very interesting,
| simple series of observations for the
amateur, and one which will lead to
a better understanding of the me-
chanics of the planetary system. We
car highly recommend to the read
er to make periodic maps, say, every
two weeks, of the region surround
Ing Jupiter, Saturn and Spica.
Jupiter will be found to make
more rapid progress through the
field of stars than Saturn; the reasc
for this is simply that the latter Is
further away from the sun. Saturn
is about S86,000, 900, Jupiter only
4S3, 900, 600 miles from the great
center of gravitational attraction in
our system. 1t takes Saturn there
fore, much longer TO make a COM
plete round of its orbit, about twen-
ty-nine and d half years, to jupiter's
eleven and nine-tenths.
This is carried further yet by the
case of the two d;stanl planets
Uranus and Neptune. The for
mer, al a distance OF about 1,7S2,-
900 miles, takes eighty-four years to
complete its period, and the latter
et'll more. about 1S5 years, for its
distance from me sun is ABOUT 2.Ty2,-
