DAYTIME STARS
By Garrett P. Serviss

Noted Astronomer and Writer ON
Scientific Topics Of Popular
Interest
nNE of the most fascinating
~ of the many traditions per
tanning to the stars IL that con-
corning their occasional visibility
In full daylight. especially by OBJ
servers situated at the bottom
or q tall chimney. Contradictory
statements have often been made
concerning the possibility OF this
phenomenon. Not long ago q pro-
fessor-I do not recall his name
demonstrated, at least to his own
satisfaction, that it could not
be so.
However things are sometimes
so in spite of the most beautiful
demonstrations. More than two
thousand years ago Aristotle wrote:
"Keenness OF sight Is as much
the power of seeing far as of ac-
curately Distinguishing the differ
ences presented by the objects
viewed. These two properties are
not met with in the same indi-
Viduals. For he who holds his
hand over his eyes, or looks
through a tube, is not on that
account, more or less able to dig
tinguish differences Of color, al
though he will see objects at q
greater distance. Hence 1t arises
that persons in caverns or cisterns
are occasionally enabled TO see
stars"
Sir John Herschel In his "Out
lines of Astronomy" says: From
the bottoms Of deep narrow pits,
such as a we'll or the shaft OF a
mine, such bright stars as pass
the zenith may even be discerned
by the naked eye; and we our.
selves have heard 1t stated by
celebrated optician that the earliest
circumstances which drew his at
tention to astronomy was the regu-
lar appearance, at certain hour
for several successive days, Of a
considerable star through the
shaft of q chimney"
Visible In Daylight.
On the contrary, Alexander
Won Humboldt, commenting on
ARISTOTLE statement, and on
similar statement made by Pilny,
who named some OF the stars
that had been seen in this way,
says IN MS NO6IIIOS WHlLO
practically engaged in mining OPP
erations / was in the habit during
many years of passing q great
portion of the day In mines,

Siberian mines who had heard of
stars having been seen by day.
light; although in the many lau.
tudes in both hemispheres in
which 1 have visited deep mines
a sufficiently large number of
stars must have passed the zenith
to have afforded q favorable op,
portunity for their being seen.'
To this Humboldt adds the
very reasonable qualification:

Associated with the alleged
visibility of stars from deep ex
cavations, is the certain fact that
in full daylight, and that occa-
sionally such bright objects as
Venus can be seen with the
naked eye even at MONDAY.
Now the reason for the gen.
eral invisibility Of such objects
by day is that the illumination of
the sky by sunlight is so strong
that 1t overcomes the relatively
faint light Of the stars. AS eve
ming comes on, and the atmos-
pherfc illumination sinks into twi-
light, the relative brightness Of
the stars increases, until they De.

Mr.. Howard T. Martin, OF Marion
county, Ind, quoted In Pop
ular Astronomy"
Many of our farmers in Mar
ion county have the habit Of de-
scending to the bottom of their
70-foot silos in the daytime and
looking at the stars. This is
quite common in early September
when the silos are empty, and
myself have plainly seen Ursa
Major, Algol and Capella in the
early afternoon of a September
day.
While congratulating the Ma
rion county farmers on their de
votion to the stars, l would sim
ply remark that while Ursa Major
Is not very far from their zenith
in the early afternoons of Sep
TENDER, Algol and capella are low
In The northwest, so that they
would have to tip their silos into
almost a horizontal position to
see them.

A STUDY OF
WALL STREET

EyRED C. KELLY, magazine
IT writer and author, has been
making an analytical study or
Wall Street for more than year.
and made q small fortune for
himself just to prove the correct
ness OF his conclusions.
81 have just had the astohnd-
ing experience of being up to my
neck in the stock-marxet Tor II
months without losing anything"
he writes in the January issue OF
Hearst's International Cosmopoli
tan magazine. Indeed. / made
almost small fortune. It would
have been a wonderful adventure
even IL l had lost--a combination
OF Babes in the Wood and Alice
in Wonderland-for had oppor-
tunity to learn OF human nature
in the greatest human laboratory"
The writer admits he knew
nothing about stocks when he
began his study but he had the
journalistic instinct which led him
to observe carefully the general
movement OF stocks, and then to
ferret out the causes. The results
are some. hitherto unpublished
facts regarding stock fluctuations.
Approaching the subject with
fresh vision, he became curious
on a number OF points. He
wanted to know why most pro-
fessional brokers keep out Of the
market themselves? Why people
play market 'tips" when they
are almost always worthless?
Why such tips" are given out?'
He learned that 81 per cent Of
those who play the stock market
lose and only 8 per cent win;
that most men buy high and sell
low when they mean to do just
the opposite; and why men are
inclined to sell their best seour-
tiles on a falling market and
keep their poorest ones.
AS he became more familiar
with the workings Of the market
he was intrigued by a number of
puzzling questions until he found
out the causes. For instance,
why does good news about a
stock often lower It's price and
bad news force the price up?
Why are prices likely to be low
on Mondays and high on Wednes-
days? Why are prices lowest
around l o'clock? Why are there
only two or three times in the
year when one ought to buy
stocks? Why is it sometimes
easier to make money on a fall
ing market than on rising one?

Poor, weak woman! When a

The two most vital and daring
