Why Is Katie Strangely Rude to
MOllie Fawcett?

Katherine whispered no word of
warning to me to control my facial
muscles. She knew that the clasp of
her arms, the certainty that my face
was shielded from any other gaze
than her own, the second of respite
she had given me were sufficient to
enable me to smooth out my rasped
nerves.
With a convulsive little answering
released myself from them. and with
a calmness of face and voice for
which l knew I should pay later,
turned to the group composed of Jun.
ior, Marion and Mollie Fawcett.
The girl had not yet risen from the
kneeling posture she had assumed
when she drew Junior into her arms
with her promise of a story. And
my small son, though he obediently
had taken the hand Marion had held
out to him at Katherine's whispered
command, TO gather eggs for my
breakfast, was looking back at her
with a wistful, worried expression.
Doesn't she have eggs for break

was such thwarted hospitality In his
baby tones, that l found 1t compare

with which the others greeted his

UVHE magician is not necessarily faker.
Deception is harmful only when it claims not
- to be deception. One who deceives you but tells
you beforehand that he going to deceive you is really
doing you service and increasing your knowledge Of
the truth.
The world has always been preyed upon by charla-
tans and liars But the damage these gentry have done
has been in proportion to the degree to which they
have convinced the public that they were not deceiv-
ing at ALL
The magician who performs his tricks because his
hand is quicker than because he knows forces
and laws that have escaped your attention, because he
demonstrate how imperfect are your powers OF
observation, really does more toward exposing the
takers than anyone else
One of the greatest living magicians is Houdini He
remarked that he had never seen spr1tuallstc
medium do anything by his alleged occult powers that
he as magician could not do by mere skill
Whoever helps to loosen the hold of superstition
upon the minds of the people is public benefactor
The belief in luck charms, occult powers and spirit
accomplishments has done ncreditable harm. 1t mas
influenced minds and spread many septic fears.
To see skilled magician do his wonderful per-
and to know that they are all carried on ny
plain cunning and sleght of hand is the best anldote
for the depression receives from sitting in Queen
Alice's parlor and watching the ectopasm.
Harry Houdini might be called trickster. In fact
he calls himself that But this simply that he
is honest. He is really of superior attainmens
He has of the largest Libraries extant dealing with
subjects of human deception. He has written many
books. He is extraordinarily gifted physically. His
muscular power and nerve control are amazing
But all this natural equipment knowledge SKILL and
experience he does not use to bolster up any false
claims to supernatural power He is entirely justified
in using his abilities for the entertainment of the public
and in making the public pay for it. But the public
knows exactly what it is getting.
But in addition to this it seems to me that he and
other legitimate magcians doing real service to
the community in demonstrating the failure of the
argument that simply because you do not see why
thing takes place therefore it must take place because
of some ghostly power
The very foundation of sound thinking is to believe
that there is natural for every result. The
magician helps establish this foundation because he
convinces that the is there when
not see it.

Famous Astronomer and Writer
on Scientific Topics Of
Popular Interest.
Ut IS three years since the
size of the great star Betel-
l. geuse, in the constellation
Orion-now so splendidly visible in
the eastern quarter Of the sky
during the evening hours-was
first measured with the inter-
ferometer at Mt. Wilson observa-
tory.
It was then shown, according to
the first published announcement,
that the star had the amazing
diameter Of 260,000,000 miles,
which is 800 times the diameter
Of the sun. And, since the vol
umes Of spheres are as the cubes
Of their diameters, It followed that
Betelgeuse must be as large as
$1,000, 900 suns rolled into one!
A later statement reduced the
diameter Of Betelgeuse to N5.-
100000 miles, making its volume
still over 100000 times that OF
the sun. do not know to what
extent this statement was basel
upon measures made not long
after tho first one, but, In any
event, 1t is significant in view
OF the fact that quite recently Mr..
Pease, Of the Mt. Wilson observa-
tory. has published results OF the
work done with the 20-foot stellar
fnterferometer during the years
1929, which show that Tor
BetelEeuse alone among the stars
measured, = decreased diameter
has been indicated.
Mr.. Peaee's statement 10: "Prao.
tically all the stars measured
showed the same values 40 OBJ
tained previously. Betelgeuse
alone showed an increased read
ina Of the beam. indicating q
smaller value for the angular
diameter"
Now. IN connection with this,
nut the fact that observers have
iately noted an increase in the
brightness Of BetelgeNee, and you
have an interesting coincidence.
Az Betelgeuse ahrinks IN size,
Of course. its mean density In
orOases, the same amount OF mat
ter being inclosed in a measur'
ably smaller space. and along
WITH this increase of density goes
an increase Of brightness. Mr.,
r. E. seagrave. Of Boston, makes
the Following statement in Popu-
lar Astronomy:
"T would like 20 call tho atten.
t,on Of variable star observers to

tober as.November ~, 1t was fully
Cne.tenth Of a magnitude brighter
than Rigel. Mr., Boss. with the
selenium photometer, states that
II is one-third brighter than It
was a year ago"
Here 10 a chance for amateur
Astronomers to begin with obser-
vations that may have an tmme-
dlate scientific value. The vast
majority Of the stars that show
variability in their light are
small, or telescopic, but here is

OF course the change of angu-
lar diameter can only be detected
by the aid of a very large and
powerful interferometer, Of which
only one notable example yet ex-
lists in the world, being attached
to what is now the worlds larg-
est telescope. But the alteration
in the greaet stars light can be
seen with the naked eye by any
body who will train himself to
exact observation. Any instruc-
tions needed may be obtained
from the American Association of
Variable Star Observers, which
may be addressed at Harcard OBJ
servatory, Cambridge, Mass.
The star Rigel, with which the

grave, is the brilliant white star
on the foot Of Orion. The contrast
OF its color with the yellowish
yellow-or orange tint Of Betelgeuse
on Orion's shoulder, is striking,
and has some effect upon the
Judgment formed Of the relative
brightness Of the two stars.
Ordinarily, Rigel is ranked az
brighter than Betelgeuse. There
Is no evidence Of any change IN
