Substance Isolated
The substance has been isolated Pref
Lewis saws II IS a secretion from the thorAetr
eland 81 the sphid II has not vet hesn
identified but he sAys there il some reason
10 suppoSe that II is fltefEhls NtruA--An
innniteSmRhly minute organisms similar to
those responsible for some a. the most deadly
human and animal diseases
1t is like finding somethtng which would
change eyes into ears oF noses into ftngsFs
Admittedly, Prof Lewis says there Il ar
enormous gap between q plant sal and
human cancer but he believes . clue NAV be
found in such q remarkable phenomenon
in the plant world
A fire-fly star which lncreASes In bright
ness from three 10 five fold every three or
four hours has just been reported by q
University OF Virginia astronomer
This star In the constellation OF Asuagius
In the northern heavens 10 quite similar In
mass and brightness 10 the sun and NAV
represent type o. hitherto unknown
heavenly bodies scattered through the Milky
Way galaxy.
II was reported 10 the virginia Academy
OF Sciences by Dr. Kari q HsniEs formerly
OF the staff OF the Mccormick Observatory
OF the University OF virginia
Variable stars are numerous and ~sll
known throughout the heavens but most ef
them have q period OF days or months during
which they flare up To many fold their nor.
NAL brightness and thsn kuhside But the
star in Aquarius does this several times every
night.
The sun also 10 believed 10 be Q variable
star. said DR. Harold l. Alden. director al
the observatory. in explaining the report
II also flares up quite frequently and perhaps
at regular intervals, A. such tinss great
streams OF particles are shot into space and
interfere with radio Transmission or earth
But such fiare-ups never amount 70 more
than one per cent OF the suns normal
brightness. The Aquarius flashes are a. grss,
as 500 per cent
