lawmakers had employed, protests

The rural constituencies of the
leading statesmen threatened that
unless the salary law was repealed
they would defeat all their political

the representatives, as soon as they
received their initial salary checks

that bandits who have robbed the
United States mails, or persons who
maliciously have derrauded the gov

FAMILY TREE OF THE STARS

The condensation of the nebular.
mass causes contraction of it's VOL.
ume and, as a result of the crowding
together of the atoms, generates heat.
During the early stages of the evolu-
tion of the star. the nebular mass, still
highly rarefied. yields readily to the
contracting influence of condensation.
The mass shrinks rapidly. causing
rapid increase of tenn
perature. During the steep upcurve
which marks the evolution of the star
the volume of it's mass shrinks rapidly
and its temperature rises from near
absolute zero to temperatures esti-
mated, in some cases, at 10000, per-
haps even 10000 degrees, Centigrade.
The maxlmal temperature which
star attains at the apex OF it's evolu-
tionary curve depends on the volume
OF it's mass The greater the mass
the higher Will be the maximaI tenn
perature of the star at the apex of
the curve. Our sun, which probably
did not, even at the apex of its eyolu-
tion, attain a temperature of more
than $4,000 degrees Centigrade is now
far advanced on it's curve of decline;
1t has become a dwarf among stars,
with a temperature estimated at $500
degrees Centigrade.
During the early stages of the evo-
luton of a star its temperature rises
rapidly until it reaches its maximum
at the apex of the rising curve, but
there is no corresponding increase IN
it's radiation, as the rise of tempera-
ture is almost counterbalanced by the
shrinkage of the radiating surface.
After the apex is passed the rate OF.
condensation diminishes and with n
the temperature of the star. Slowly
the volume of the declining star
shrinks. its radiation becomes weaker
and finally ceases altogether--the star
has reached the end of its career, has
become q dead star.
