Virginia Pension Bill
May Unbalance Budget

RICHMOND, Va, Jan. 27.-lR-
The proposal to set up an actuari-

as set forth in a bill offered this
week in the house poses a difficult
problem in public school finances
before the general assembly.
If the pension bill, providing for
a state contribution of $878,000 a
year, is passed without a companion
tax measure, it would mean that the
budget recommended by Governor
James H. Price for public educa.
ton would have to be reduced.

they appear, none of the stars of the
heavens are ever found to be missing
from their accustomed locations.
They are in reality small rocky or
metallic bodies which move through
the space of the solar system in ac-
cordance with the physical laws of
orbital motion. When they strike
the terrestrial atmosphere they are
heated to great brilliance and be-
come visible for a comparatively
short time. Very few of them are
large enough to escape entire de-
struction before reaching the earth's
surface. Much more rarely still is
one big enough to cause any dam
age on the earth. 1t Is interesting
to note that no chemical elements
have been found on meteorites
which are not already known in
our chemistry. The origin of all
meteors may not be the same. Some
of them may have come into the
solar system from outside space but
the great majority beyond doubt
are the scattered pieces of what
was once comet. Several comets
which had been observed on nu-
merous returns to the vicinity of
the earth have disappeared only to
have their place taken by copious
meteor showers which apparently
follow practically the same orbit as
that which had been occupied by
the lost comet. At first the meteor
showers resulting from such a de-
stroyed comet has a periodicity like
that of the original comet. Little py
little, however, the meteoric matter
becomes scattered along the entire
length of the orbit and an annual
shower results. The power which
destroys and dissipates the comets
is the gravitational force emanating
from the sun.

depended upon the motion of the
moon across the face of the sky
not the rising and setting move
ment, which is only apparent, but
the orbital revolution which is a
real movement. However, this meth
cd has been replaced by methods
which combine solar observations
with the sextant and accurate
chronorpeteIs that tell the actual
time at some definite terrestrial
point of reference like Greenwich,
England. The solar observation
yields the true local time of the ship
and the difference between the
Greenwich time and the observed
local time gives the difference OF
longitude. The spectroscope shows
that Markab is really made up Of
two stars which appear as one to
the naked eye. That is due, of
course, to its tremendous distance
which is about eighty-six light years
and it is really a much more power
full radiator of light and heat than
the sun.
Northeastward from Pegasus lies
the constellation of Andromeda
which is marked by the curved line
of four stars extending from AL
pha Andromeda or AlpheratZ, men
toned above as marking the north
east vertex of the Great Square.
This constellation contains the
Great Nebula, which is probably the
most interesting single object within
its area. The Great Nebula is a
