There are many thousand clouds of
'nebulous matter in space, all of them
which are visible to us being many mil
lions cf miles in diamater. Each of
these nebulas is certainly slowly con
densing or shrinking together under its
own gravitation, and as it condenses it
grows hotter and hotter and also be-

lately form a star and the nebula will
have become a double star system.
At first the two stars are intensely
hot and in a plastic condition so that
their mutual attractions raise enor
mous bodily tides on each of them. The
effect of these is to rapidly push the
two sums farther and farther apart
and also to change the form of the
paths which, they pursue about one
another. At last the contracting suns
ecomes solid and cold ; the tidal ac
tion ceases and there remain but two
dark bodies revolving slowly about one
another a great distance apart.
All stages of this development are
visible to us in the sky from the double
nebulas to the old systems which are
just dying out. In this manner also the
earth and moon were originally devel
oped from a single nebulous mass.
The stars of the map marked H and
K are double; H cannot be seen with
a small glass; it is composed of two
stars revolving about one another in
twenty-six years. K can be seen with
a good field glass, and so also can the
pairs marked L and R. The former of
these is made vfp of two stars, one of
which is golden and the other azure,
presenting perhaps the most striking
effect of color in the heavens. The lat
ter is a qualruple star, visible as a
double star to a keen eye even without
ntelescope. The star marked I is a
triple star presenting an extraordinary
fine contrast of colors. Formalhaut

THE PLANETS.
Saturn and Jupiter are both in better
positions for observing than last
month. Saturn is in the constellation
Capricornus while Jupiter in the early
evening is low down in the East. To
ward midnight this planet has mounted
high up in the heavens, and it is then
the most brilliant star in the sky.
The position of Uranus is as shown
in Sagittarius, while Neptune is in the
constellation Gemini, nearly midway
between the stars of Nu and Epsilon.
The other planets are not in favor
able position for observation.
THE TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE.
On Sept. 9 there will occur a total
eclipse of the sun, but it will only be
visible to observers situated in a nar
row strip of the earth's surface ex
tending from the west 'coast of South
America across the vast wastes of the
Pacific. The eclipse will begin at seven
minutes, forty-eiglit seconds after 6 p.
ra., Greenwich time; its duration is
only two minutes.
The next solar eclipse visible in the
United States will not occur until June
8, 1018; this can be seen along a nar
row strip of ground extending from
Oregon to Flirida. On Jan. 24, 1925, the
light cf the sun will be blotted out to
observers in Main and Canada.
the sun are resisted by the other,
through which they move like bullets
through the air, there must come a
time when the career of every one of
them wTill be terminated by a catas
trophe such as the imagination can
hardly picture.
Encke's comet is a body of relatively
very small mass. Compared with the
earth, it is like thistledown to a can
non ball. '
The thistledown quickly reveals the
effect of the air resistance, while the
cannon ball flies on with a velocity
which at first seems hardly to be dimin
ished at all. But if, the resistance con
tinues long enough the massive ball no
less than the bit of down will be
brought to rest. "
So, for ages after Encke's comet had
plunged into the sun, the earth and the
other planets might continue pursuing
their orbits, scarcely showing the ef
fects of the resistance to their motion.
It is by no means certain, however,
that the resistance suffered by Encke's
comet is experienced equally all around
its orhi-t. It hns been thought thnl th
retardation may be lhu.f" " " ; . -space

to the ether, but to some mtLii
swarm through which the comet ::.zz
on each return.
In this case the phenomenon would
not be extended to the earth or other
members of the system that are not
subject to a similar meteoric encounter,
and thus Encke's comet may be swal
lowed up by the sun without, after all,
implying a similar doom for the planet
ary, system.
In the last hundred years the period
of the comet has been diminished about
six hours.
There are indications that the accele
ration is falling off in amount, and this
strengthens the supposition that the
cause is a meteoric encounter rather
than etheric resistance.
The meteors may be gradually get
ting cut of the comet's track, so that
eventually it will obtain a free way, in
which case the promised tragedy may
have a happy ending; but even in that
event the comet will have been brought
closer to the sun, and this fact will re
main as a memento of the danger run
and the peril escaped.
The comet will be in perihelion about
the beginning of January, but it should
be sighted from the earth, with power
ful telescopes, not later than the 1st of
September.
In October and November it will pass
south of the Constellation Andromeda
and through Pegasus to the Milky Way
in Aquila.
Here it will attain its greatest bright
ness, and may be visible to the naked
eye.

Life has been one long night of misery for me during the past three yesrs,
because of my miserable state of health. It seemed that I endured air the misery
that a woman could endure in that time and live. Three years ago I caught cold
while out skating, and suffered a severe fall at the same time. As it unfortunately
happened during the menstrual period the subsequent consequences were as bad as could
well be imagined. Inflammation and ulceration set in, not only in the womb, but also
in the ovaries, and- affected the fallorjian tubes.
My physician did his very best , to relieve me, but after three months declared
there was no relief except through an operation, which I objected to most decidedly.
I thpn tried several highly recommended remedies, without any help, until my mother
advised me to try Wine of Cardui as it had been recommended to her.
I took it as a drowning person grasps at a straw and it proved a veritable
Godsend to me. My pains gradually grew less, the daily headaches I had
suffered from then disappeared. My general health kept improving and in thirteen
" "' ' weeks I was fully restored. No operation was
needed. Wine of Cardui proved my restorer
and most gladly do I give it the entire credit.

The observer should not fail to look

MOST INTERESTING COMET
KNOWN.
(By Garrett P. Serviss.)
St. Louis Republic.
Within a few weeks it is almost cer
tain that Encke's comet will be detect
ed making its way sunward and earth
ward. It is in some way the most interest
ing comet known.
It is the only one that ever offered a
distinct threat to the -stability of the
solar system. It did this by exhibiting
the appearance' of being resisted by the
ether through which, like all the other
members of the system, it is compelled
tn make its wav in journeying about
the sun as a center of motion.
On each return Encke's comet, which
has made thirty-six circuits since its
discovery in 1786, is a little in advance
of the place it" should have occupied if
there were no interference with its
movements.
' The meanine: of this acceleration, as
astronomers know, is that the comet
must hV, gradually drawing in closer to
the sun, and consequently travenns
with increasing velocity. The final re
suit of such a process if continued long
enough, could only be the destruction
of the comet by its falling into tne sun
KWiTn. fate for a comet is, in itself
of slight importance to us, but it is of
very great importance if it implies a
similar ; ending of the system as a
whole. ,

Six Jesuit priests are the corps of
workers in the weather bureau at Ma
nila, a phenomenon that is pointed out
to travelers in the far east and one
which never fails to arouse their sur
prise, says the Washington Post. This
arrangement, however odd it seems at
first, is seen . to be perfectly natural
when one understands the situation
and, to make the situation clear, six
columns .of the Daily Bulletin, of Ma
nila, were devoted to it in an anniver
sary edition of that paper.
It is the boast of the capital of the
Philippines that she possesses within
her walls the pioneer meteorological
institution of the Orient." It happened
in this way:
In 1865 occurred a typhoon that
caused much loss of life and properly.
This territory had been assigned to the
order of Jesuits and it was to them
that the people looked for aid in times
of stress, just as people in Catholic
countries always look to their priests
for help and instruction. The priests,
realizing the need of some protection
against a repetition of such a disaster,
determinedto establish a meteorologi
cal observatory, which they did by
the procuring of a single set of instru
ments to which additions were gradu
ally made. This was in 1865, ten years
before the service of Japan was begun
and nineteen years before Honk -Kong
took ud the work.
The priest by whom the beginnings
of this work were undertaken wras
Father Faura, who was allowed to
devote all his time to the work of the
observatory after 1878. Before that
time the priests had done this in addi
tion to their other religious and scho
lastic duties. Frater Faura won the
confidence of the people by predicting
ityphoons that actually came to pass,
and in this way convinced the skeptical
of the importance of the work of the
observatory.
The success of the earlier years made
it seem desirable to increase the ef
ficiency of this -work by giving the ob
servatory an official character and
making it the center of a system of
sub-stations. This was done in 1884
after the priests had made an offer to
the Spanish government to erect at
their own expense a suitable building.
The Manila observatory pointed out
to travelers today is the result of this
combination of church and state.
It is in this building that the visitor
finds himself face to face with men who
to all intents and purposes are govern
ment officials, yet who wrear the black
gown of the Catholic priest. American
military government has not altered
the strange condition. The necessity of
an official meteorological service -was
evident. Americans found a first-class
observatory, through a private institu
tion, and a staff of experienced men
devoted 'to their work. It was the re
ward of recognized ability to leave
them there and there they remained.
