RADICAL VELOCITY OF STARS.
W. S. Adams and Arnold lvohl
schuetter contribute a paper to the
Astrophysical Journal relative to
the radial velocity determinations
during the last three years of stars
fainter than magnitude 5.5 on the
visual scale for which observations
of parallax are availayble.
The photographs were secured
with the 60-inch reflector in con
junction with the Cassegrain spec
trograph adapted for use with oue
prism, but for stars from 5.5 to 0.6
magnitude- a camera lens of 102
centimetres focal length was used,
while for all stars fainter than 6.5
a lens , of 46 centimetres focal
length was employed.
Briefly summarizing some of the
conclusions derived from this eXt‘el
!en. piece of research work, the
first to be mentioned is the enor
mous radial velocities of a few
of the stars observed. Thus two
indicated velocities of —325 and
—242 kilometres, the first of these
being the highest recorded radial
velocity among any of the stars.
Four other-stars exceeded 100
kilometre?, and several between 75
and 100 kilometres. A notable fact
is the great preponderance of large
negative over large positive velo
cities. no less than 75 per cent, of
the large velocities being negative.
ANOTHER WAR DISCOVERY.
Trousers warmed by electricity is
the latest war invention. It is de
scribed by its originators, an Inns
bruck professor who i3 at present
serving in the army, Max Beck by
name, and the well-known Vienna
professor of medicine, Von Schrit
ter.
Besides the comfort this garment
would be to men in the trenches
in winter It is pointed out that
electrical arm warmer, might be
profitably used in airships and aero
planes. It appears from the des
cription given that extremely supple
but stiff electrical warming-wires
are woven in with the stuff, which
is itself made specially with a view
to insulation. The trousers are put
on like any other, and fed by cab
les at a distance of a hundred
yards and more.
The wearer himself can connect
and disconnect the heat conductor.
Tiie expense is one cent an hour.
The cost of manufacture is said to
range from $16 to $20.

ST. JOHN’S CHURCH
DAILY BIBLE READING
Topic for week: Spiritual Power,
Saturday, Galatians 4:1-7.
i "God sent forth the Spirit of his
son into our hearts.”
St. Paul’s converts in Galatia mis
I takenly thought they must first be
come Jews, bound under the law of
Muses, before they could become
| Christians. . The Apostle writes ex
plaining that they must become
Christians directly, through aeeept
i ing Christ as the power within them
Sunday, Isaiah 55:6:13.
; “Seek ye the Lord while he may
1 be found; call ye upon him while he
is near.”
The Jews arc about to return from
exile in Babylon to Jerusalem. The
prophet calls them in mind and
heart back from the exile of sin to
devotion to God. As God through
nature’s forces can convert the wild
' erness into a garden, so he can
convert the sinful into holiness.”

Cleared up their muddled brains,
Till health throbed in their vains,
None didst succumb.

Wake up at nii,ht to drink,
One more sweet cup.
And when thou art all gone,
