 Trousers Saves King

London. Jan. tuP)-Because the pants of his old green hunting suit were slack, King Albert of the belstans was saved from injury in a bob-sleigh accident in the svis. Alps.
 A St. Moritz dispatch to the Daily Mail today said the king was de- scending the St. Moritz sleigh run at 40 miles an hour as passenger on . bob-sled when 1t skidded turning Shamrock corner.
 Lord Northesk, the brakeman, was thrown and injured his back.
 The king was unbalanced but Dudley Delavisne, another passen- ger. quickly pushed himself in Northesk's vacant place and took | firm grip on the seat of the royal trousers.
 He pulled Albert back into posi- ton and the king finished the run with no more damage than . ] scraped elbow.
 T hope Northesk was not hurt: that was the greatest thrill l have ] ever had" the king said. Its great CT than war or motorcycling."
 The king grinned happily, look ing strangely unroyal with an old cap turned back-in-front on his head. It was the first time in his- tory . reigning monarch had de- scended the St. Moritz run.

Mystery of The Heavens.
STAR SPLIT IL TWO.
EVENT NEVER SEEN BEFORE.

The South African Government OBJ
servatory has found that the star, Nova
Pictoris, discovered by Professor Watson
of Beaufort West Observatory, in 1925,
is now split in two.
Astronomers are closely watching be-
lieving that the phenomenon will throw
light on the structure of the universe.
The star has always behaved %curiOusly
iaring up and then dying.
CapetOWn.
A few days G la Plata. Observatory
(Argentina) reported to the Union OF
South africa Observatory tina; Nova
Pictoris was presenting a very strange
appearance. Union astronomers imme-
diately resumed observations through
the great 26-inch telescope and confirmed
the belief that the star had spit.
The star cannot be observed 10 the
Northern Hemisphere, but it will be stud
led here closely, as it may afford very
important information in connection with
the composition of matter.

fOr6lgn OnQGr secretary, SalQ unQ6r the
obligations assumed by the German Gov.
eminent under the Treaty of Versailles
the manufacture and storage for import
and export of Phosgene poison gas for
war purposes was forbidden. Phosgene
for industrial purposes was allowed. but
was confined to three factories aud the
produ: elton was limited to a maximum of
five tons per day. There was no re-
strictions on the storage of Dhosgene
gas for industrial purposes. There was
no truth in the report that the German
Government had failed to observe the
conditions of the treaty. No action was
deemed necessary by the British Gov
eminent, an official inquiry in connec-
tion with the explosion at Hamburg was
being conducted by the German authOri-
ties. Replying to a further question,
Mr., Locker Lampson said if there was
any infringement of the treaty, the
League of Nations Immediately would
step in and hold an inquiry.
London, June 12th--The Marking Gov
eminent have replied to the telegram
which the Doyen of the Diplomatic Corps
in Picking sent on Saturday, calling their
attention to the action of Ku0minchun
troops in disarming and interning the
Northern forces of General Paoyulin,
who had remained in Picking to maintain
order and had been promised free egress
to Manchuria. The Marking Government
declare themselves de eply concerned and
state that kilograms have been sent to
the Southern Commander at the front,
instructing them to investigate the situa-
ton and to advise means for atfOrding
safety to General Paoyulin's force. Yen
shihhan, the Shansi Governor. arrived at
Picking yesterday. He is reported to have
confirmed his promise to protect foreign
lives and interest and to have telegraphed
General Fengyushiang, Commander Of
the Kuominchum forces, requesting him
to arrange the release and safe conduct
of the Northern forces which has been
maintaining order in Picking. General
Chang Kaishek has sent to the Marking
Government his resignation as COmman.

When did it happen?

gram from Jhe Dolly Mails Johannes
burg correspondent, has been seen ap,
parently to split into two.
This extraordinary event, which is
one OF the most amazing spactacles that
the eyes Of man have ever been allowed
to see, is believed to have happened at
any time from 800 to l 1000 years ago.
Only on tuesday however. did the news
flash from the Union Observatory at
Johannesburg, in South Africa to every
part OF this tiny earth, by telegram and
wireless. So far way in the depths of
OF spaceis the star-Nova Plctoris that
1t takes hundreds of years for its light to
reach the world.
DR.. ID. B.. Wood, the director of the
Johannesburg Observatory, confirmed the
report that Nova Plcroris appeared as a
double object.
The strange appearance Of the star
was first noticed at the Observatory at
La Plata, IN Argentina, South America,
a message was at once sent to Johannes
burg, where is situated the most power
full telescope in the Southern Hemisphere
for observing the star. 1t is invisible in
the Northern Hemisphere.
An examination through the telescope
with its 269-inch lens was Immediately
undertaken and the extraordinary news
from La Plata Was confirmed.
Never Seen Before"
DR.. W. H. Stevenson, president of
the British Astronomical Association, said
to a Daily Reporter:
Nova PIcUorls may have split into
two. The luminous nebula which usually
expands round a star may have become
separated into two portions; or another
star may have become visible as Nova
PictOrIs dimmed.
The star has already attracted atten-
ton by its curious behaviour. 1t took
longer to flare up than most GeW stars,
its increase to 90, 600 times It's previous
brightness taking ~seveIat days instead
of about "a hours as IS the usual rule
with new stars.
Again it has taken an abpormally
long time to fade. Whereas new stars
are usually only visible to the naked eye
Tor about 3 10 4 months, 1 believe Nova
PictOrls has been 50 visible ever since It
was first found III 1923.
The spectacle IS without precedent.
The splitting OF d star has never been
observed before. We rave reason to be-
lieVe, however. thai stars have spit up
before, and that d number Of he double
stars IN the universe spiIt apart d one
time. Ii is possible that the splitting
took place Wnen the star first t1ared out,
and that 1t has only just become possible
for Us to observe the separation. "-DdILU
