Star RI Cephei
Fastest of All

This star, a variable star Of the So
called cluster type, has long been
known to astronomers, but its velocity
was never measured until recently.
1t Is far too faint to be seer with the
naked eye, Is being Of the tenth magni.
tude. 1t Is In the constellation Ce-
pheus, and is $500 light years distant
from the earth, which means that the
ngnt from it which astronomers now
see through their telescopes started
on Its journey to the earth in the time
OF the shepherd kings of Egypt, near
~ LOO years before Christ.
Velocity is Greatest.
That distance Is only & small frac-
ton of the distance from the earth to
some of the more distant star clusters,
but the outstanding fact about RI
Cephei Is that its velocity as 1t flies
through space is the greatest yet
known for a star.
The speed of the star was meas
ured at the Harvard observatory by a
complicated process OF observations
and computations, including among
other things the comparison of photo
graphs recently taken at Harvard with
others taken 81 years ago, when the
observatory was just beginning its
task of preserving a Photographic his
tory of the entire sky. Since that time
a ''sky. PATROL has been kept without
interruption at Cambridge, supple
mented by photographs taken at the
station at Arequipa. Peru, and-the his
tory of the stars down to the eleventh
magnitude has been written by the
stars themselves on over 25O,OOO pho
-~tographIc plates weighing 40 tons
Study Sky Photographs.
Most of the discoveries made by
Harvard astronomers. it is said at
Cam aidge, are not made by looking
through a telescope at night, as Is
popularity supposed, but by doing what
was done in the case of this discovery
of the speed Of RI Cephei, by study
ing and measuring by day, in the
laboratory, photographs taken ..
night, and by computing the signla-
canoe of the changes in the brilllance
or position or spectra of the stars as
recorded on these plates.
The discovery of the immense speed
Of RE- Cephei is said to be important
to astronomers as suggesting that this
type of variable star escapes from the
globular clusters, a hypothesis sug-
gested also by other recent observa-
lions.

Civil War Men Are Fading.
81, 100000 Less Paid to Veterans in

sions for Service in Mexi-

Washlngton.-The American pension
system cost the public $255,201, 662
during the fiscal year ended last June
30, according to the annual report of
the commissioner of pensions. OF this
amount S253,So7 1913 was paid out for
pensions, the cost of maintenance of
the system being 81, 394, O79.
That the number Of pensioners is
rapidly diminishing is shown in the
statement that $4,90S, 259 less was paid
in pensions during the last fiscal year
than during the previous year; that
25,OS2 Civil var veterans died, as
against 2i,775 for the previous year,
and that 21,259 widows died. as COM
