Evening star., 1925-08-30

in the midst of the Milky Way. The
long arm of the cross lies in the direc-
ton of the Milky Way and the short
arm crosses it. The star at f, Deneb.
is at the top of the cross. and the star
at the other end of the same arm is
Beta Cygni, beautiful cofored double
star, sometimes called Al6neo.
There is a constellation called CruX,
which means the cross. This constel-
lation is usually called the southern
cross, although it is the only genuine
cross. 1t cannot be seen from this
latitude.
In looking at the stars forming Cyg-
nus and trying to imagine the swan
from which the constellation is named,
Cygnus being the Latin word for swan,
many will reverse the directions and
think of Deneb as the head of the
swan. AS shown in Fig. ., the swan
is flying southwark, and Deneb Is in
the hinder part: in fact Deneb means
tail. Albireo is in the head. Although
Deneb is very bright star, attempts
to mea sure it's DISTANCE have merely
shown us that it is very far away, and
therefore it must in itself be an eX-
ceedingly bright body. The most reli-
able figures show that ii is $50 light
years away, and hence 10.500 times as
much in error. For SO bright a star 1t
is very remarkable that it remains al
most exactly in the same position
among the stars always. The most re-
liable values show that 1t changes It's

direction by an angle of only a second
in 1000 years. The spectroscope
shows that it is a double star and
that ii approaches us at the slow rate
of 2.5 miles a second. Near Deneb Is
the open space in the Milky Way
sometimes called the northern coal
sack" The principal coal sack Is
near the southern cross.
The Milky Way separates into two
great parallel branches in Cygnus.
Some of it's most brilliant sections are
in that constellation. AS new or tenn
porary stars always appear along the
Milky Way, it Is not surprising that
three such stars have appeared in Cyg
nus in the years 1900. 1876 and 1920.
There are two well known nebulae in
the constellation, the North American
nebula and the network nebula. G
marks the location of the star 81 Cygni,
a star on the limit of naked-eye vision,
which was the first star whose dis
tance was successfully determined in
1888. The star is II light years away.
Nine other stars are known to be
nearer.
Those who have regarded our great
system of stars a spiral nebula have
regarded the very dense parts of the
Milky Way seen in the direction of
Cygnus as an indication that the cen
trail core of the nebula lies in that di-
rection. The two branches of the
Milky Way are regarded as two arms
of the spiral.

NEW WAR HELD IMMINENT
BY SOCIALIST CONGRESS
Only Reversal of U. S. and Euro
pean Imperial Policy Can
Avert 1t, 1t Says
Rv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MARSEILLE. France, August %
Before final adjournment last night
the International Socialist Congress
adopted a resolution stating. among
other things, that a new world war
can be avoided only if the denIocracies
of Europe and America admit the
right of all peoples TO dispose of them
selves and compel the imperialists Of
Europe and America to do likewise.
The congress voted TO support with
all its weight the efforts of the
Socialist countries belonging TO the
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics
tending toward the characterization
of the regime in Soviet Russia and
the restoration of political liberty.
Intervention by the League of Ma
tions as a referee in the Moroccan
War was proposed in a long resOlu-
ton adopted today.
The congress demands that the
fighting in Morocco cease and that
France and Spain publish the terms
on which they are willing TO make
peace with Add el- krim's rebellious
Riffians. The League of Nations, il
was proposed, might then arbitrat te
the difficulty, and after peace was
signed the Riffian state should enter
the league.

New Orleans which resulted in the
indictment Of Walter j.. Cohen, col
lector of the port there, who, with
several others. has been charged with

The Assistant Secretary said he had
telegraphed instructions to the agents
to make a thorough inquiry and to re-
port to him at the earliest moment.
In the meantime, Cohen will be al
lowed to continue in office. Mr..
Andrews explained. however, that
should the agents reports disclose sus.
picious circumstances, Cohen likely
would be suspended. He added that
his action would depend entirely on re.
ports from the Federal operatives, for
thus far he nor Director Camp of the
Costoms Service has received no offi

CANADA SEEN AS CENTER
OF BRITAIN IN FUTURE
Will Hold Political Power of En-

lish Historian.
By the Associated Press.

WINNIPEG, Man, August 29.-In
the opinion of G. NJ. Machines, pro-
fessor of colonial and economic his
tory at the University of Bristol Eng
land, nothing can stop the North
American continent from becoming
eventually the chief influence of the
future. He expressed that view when
he stopped here recently on his way
to Calgary, his birthplace.
AS to Canada's future he said: Il
feel that in the years to come there
is every likelihood of Canada becom-
ing the center of the British common
wealth of nations. with the necessary
political power transferred to her.
There may be some who would
advocate that Canada should go for
ward as an independent nation, out
side the British commonwealth. l
fail to see this line of reasoning, for
the fact that Canada is within the
empire, appears to me one of the
chief reasons of her strength"

of both eyes as a result of wounds re-
ceived in the World War.

THE STARRY SKIES IN SEPTEMBER


The brilliant planet Jupiter now
shines in the south in the early eve
ming. II is in the constellation Sagit-
tariuS. just above the little milk dip
per in Sagittarius." The dipper is
marked on Fig. !. four stars in the

now low in the sky, as ii is not far
from the southernmost point of the

nearly along the ecliptiC. The four
brighter satellites of this planet viii be
especially interesting on the evening
of September 80. Before 1854. Eastern
standard time. of that evening, the
four satellites may be seen in small
telescopes. At 7:54 satellite 2 comes
between us and the planet, and thus
becomes invisible. At $40 satellite 3
goes into the shadow of the planet and
hence cannot be seen. At 10:e1 satel-
lite l passes behind the planet is seen
from the earth. and hence cannot. be
seen. At 1927 the shadow of satellite
, begins to cross the planet. At 1896
satellite reappears. AT ll:40 Satel-
lite 3 reappears. and at 1:55 satellite ]
reappears. Three of the satellites are
thus out of sight from 1921 to 1895,
each for a different reason.
