that some OF these records apply
TO comets and not actually to new
stars.
A true nova was seen IN 1872 by
the great astronomer Tycho Brahe
and named Tycho's nova in his
honor. In 1904 a nova appeared
which was named Keppler's nova
in honor OF the astronomer KEEP
pier. who took great interest IN II.
Many Unobserved
Between the years 1872 and 1917
there were thirty.two novae OBJ
served. or these twenty-five have
been observed since 1885. From
this It Is fair to assume that in
earlier days before astronomy
reahced It's present state Of organi-
zation, many novae went unob-
served.
Three theories have been ad-
vanced to explain the formation
Of novae. The first is the COLI
sion theory. This assumes that
a star that has grown so faint aa
TO be no longer visible. or a very
faint star. collides with another
star.
The result Of such a collision
would be the generation OF tre-
mendous heat and would cause the
great increase in brtlliance Of the
nova. This theory, however, Ia not
widely held today.
The two more popular theories
are the nebular and the tidal the
cries.
The nebular theory assumes that
in the heavens there are many
dark nebula great masses OF
gaseous material differing fron9 the
visible nebulae in that they lack
luminosity.
The friction developed by a star
blowing through such a nebula
would be sufficient to increase It's
heat until It blazed forth as nova.
The tidal theory assumes that a
second star passes near the first
one. II the second star was mas
slve. its gravitational pull upon the
first would be such as 70 pull molten
material at the center OF the star
out through the surface.
Feeble in Comparison
The human mind cannot grasp
such n Cataclysm An eruption OF
Vesuvius would be as feeble as a
candle light beside IT. Great masses
Of heated n arial would be pulled
out and sent blazing into space for
hundreds of millions Of miles.
This would OF course cause a great
temporary increase in the brilliance
of the star.
An interesting fact is that since
July, 1917 seventeen novae have
been observed and that fifteen Of
these have been observed within
a class Of luminous nehulae known
as spiral nebulae. This has an Inn
portant bearing upon our under
standing OF nebulae. as we shall see
in dealing with that subject.

me of the most startling facts
revealed by astronomy is the
occasional appearance OF a
new star The astronomer calls It
a nova, after the Latin word for
new"
A star suddenly blazes forth in
the sky where previously none was
visible. Or else star that has al
ways shown with a very faint light
suddenly becomes one Of the bright
est stars in the heavens.
But the great brightness lasts
only a few days. sometimes only
a few hours. Then the star slowly
begins to wane until at last It drops
back 10 its original condition.
It is small wonder that in the
early days Of history the appear
ance of a nova. like the appear
ance Of a comet. was the source OF
superstitious fear and panic.
The first mention OF a nova is
found in the year 143 B. c. In the
Chinese Chronicles. Other men-

Dwelling Places

The Palaces Of Ilium, of Eineven and

Were doubtless very wonderful and
gorgeous to behold.
Upholstered in magnificence TO please

with heavy silken trappings and
with Jewels and with gold.
The Palaces OF Sybaris, the Palaces Of
Rome,
The Castles OF King Arthur or of
Russian Katherine
And other famous palaces where mon
archs made their home
Wers mighty, rich and sumptuous,
but not clean.
The Oriental potentates or barons of
the west
Who dwelt in edihces OF imperial
design,
With many slaves and gervftors to an
swer their behest,
Did not possess a palace with the
luxury Of mine.
I dwell in lofty eminence above a
city street,
speak across the distances upon a
throbbing wire,
For light, I push button, and the
radiators heat
Has got 1t over anything King Ar
thur could acquire.
There wasn't any plumbing in those

The clean and cozy snugness OF my
