n THINK that you will find that
II any modern textbook on as

Personally, have great liking
for the books written by the late
Professor Charles A. Young, espe-
cially his General Astronomy"

had. They possess the human
element" in that they offer clear
and simple explanations, while at
the same time they are authori-
tative and trustworthy. Another
excellent book is Professor Simon
Newcomb's THE Stars" in which
you will perhaps find what you
want.
For the details of the astrono-
mer's work you must, of course,
go to textbooks on practical
astronomy"-but that is to be-
come a working astronomer,
which. assume, IL not your aim.
Perhaps a brief explanation
here Of the principles on which
star distances and magnitudes
are measured may be helpful.
The hght-year is a derived unit
OF stellar distance, and not a
direct measure. In order to use
1t as a ''yardstick" we should
have to be able to determine, di.
rectly. the time taken by light
TO come to us from a given star.
This cannot be done; and astron-
omers can only infer how far
away a star Is In light-years after
Ilrst ascertatning it's distance in
miles, /. e., in terms of the suns
distance from the earth.
This Is the real "yardstick" In
astronomy. or the Astronomical
unit" applicable to the measure
ment OF the distance Of the stars.
1t Is applied by the method of
parallax, the parallax of a. star
being the angular displacement
tnat 1t shows when observed
alternately from opposite sides Of
the earth's orbit. The mean diam
eter of the orbit, is twice the
astronomical unit"
Although the parallax Is meas
ured on the basis of the diameter
OF the earth's orbit, the observa-
lions being taken six months
apart, the measurement is, for
convenience of handling, reduced
to the basis Of the radius, or half
diameter.
This-the Astronomical unit" -
is 93,O0O,O00 miles, and 1t Is rep
resented in calculations Ey the
letter r. To find the distance
from the parallax we multiply r
by 2O6,265 (the value in seconds

of the angle measured by an arc
equal in length to radius and
called a "radian') and divide the
product by the parallax in Sec
onds, the result being the distance
of the star in terms OF the astro-
nomicaI unit.
For instance, suppose the paral-
lax il O.75 Of second-which Is
that of the star Alpha Centauri-
then we have: r times 2O6.26o,
divided by OTIS, which gives 275,-
O20 r, showing that the distance
of the star is 275.020 times the
astronomical unit, which being
itself 100000 miles, gives 275,-
02O times $4,000, 900 for the stars
distance in miles.
To get that in light-years, di-
vide 1t by the distance that light
travels in one year, viz, $780,
900, 900, 900 miles. The quotient
is a little over four and one-third
light-years. But you see we had
to get the distance before we
could determine the light.years.
However, since a parallax of one
second is found to correspond
to a distance in light-years of 3.26
we can make the calculation di-
rectIy from the parallax thus:
Light.years eqAal 3.z6 divided by
parallax. But always the parallax
must first be ascertained
AS to the comparison of the
size" of various stars with that
Of the sun, do you mean size
measured by volume. or relative
brightness? If the former, direct
measurements can now be made
in the case Of some stars with
the aid of the interferometer
Thus the star Betelgeuse has been
found to be some $50 or>300 times
greater in diameter than the sun,
while Antares is 400 times greater
in diameter. But these stars are
evidently vastly expanded gaseous
globes of very slight density, and
their size varies.
II we compare stars with the
sun in brightness, we must again
first ascertain the distance.
Then, knowing that the intensity
of light varies inversely as the
square of the distance, we try
to measure the amount of light
that the star sends us as com.
pared with sunlight. Suppose
the amount, as in the case Of the
star Cirrus. is about one 700, 000,-
O00th of sunlight. while the dis

NEGOTIATIONS
OF A WIFE

why Women Love Cats

Hy wv WAAGN l\VyO SsSgS
WHEREFORE, my Daughter,
w should any damsel be a
hater of men and scorner OF
the Helpless Sex?
Verify, no woman hateth cat,
because it stealeth the cream and
killeth the canary.
Why then, shall she HATE
men, because they are that which
the Lord and the women have
made them?
For, behold, how alike to one
another are man and the feline!
Lo, a cat seeketh first its own
comfort, and clingeth always
unto the woman that gives.it the
chair beside the fireplace, feedeth
it the most regularly, and leaveth
it the most freedom.
And, so, likewise, doth a man!
But a. dog and a woman seek
a master who will rule them,
rather than a slave who will
coddle them.
A cat, and likewise a man ask
only to be fed and LET ALONE!
But a dog and a woman sigh
for petting and attention and are
grateful for a gentle word and a
pat upon the head.
A man and a cat are born
rovers and adventurers; and she
that seeketh to keep them shut
within the house shall be smitten
with their howls of protest. But
a dog and a woman may be
TIED, with safety and led upon
leash all the days Of their lives.
A cat soon deserteth the
woman that seeketh. to hold it
with clasping and kisses. And d
man also suffereth from senti.
mental indigestion.
But a dog and a woman never
weary of affection. Their cry is
always, "MORE"
A cat prizeth its own dignity
above ALL things and hateth the
woman that rubbeth its fur the
wrong way and tweaketh it's ears
and caSteth cold water upon 1t.
And, In this, all men are at
heart, FELINE.
But dog and a woman are
easily snubbed and quick to for
give. They have NO amour pro-
pre- and no aplomb! !
Then. wherefore, my Daughter,
dost thou BLAME a cat and a
man for being that, which the
Lord and the women have made
them?
For, are not a woman and a
dog, also, that which the Lord
and the MEN have made them?
And a woman and a dog may
be more lovable; but are not a
man and a cat more INTEREST
ING?
Yea, verify. They are works
of Providence and Heavens gifts
to women! SELAH.
