I ASTRONOMY NOTES
By OLAF HALVORSON
• East of the “Harp star” Vega
lies the “Great Northern Cross.”
j The brilliant white star at the
! head of the cross, is a very distant
sun but it is so large that it
shines brightly among our finest
stars. It has been estimated by
astronomers that this bright star,
called Deneb, is at a much greater
distance than the star Vega.
In contrast to the huge sun that
Deneb must be to shine so bright
ly at so great a distance, is a
little star above the eastern arm
of the cross. This small star is
the nearest star to the earth in
the northern hemisphere.
Close to this small star is a large
“dark nebulae.” The black spots
and rifts in the Milky Way are
now generally accepted to be dark
nebulous matter which cuts off
the light from the stellar regions
behind them.

Nothing Funny About
Jerry Lewis’ Scene
With Prowler
PACIFIC PALISADES, Calif.,
IJ*'—There was nothing funny
about a scene comedian Jerry
Lewis played with a prowler at
his home Saturday night.
Lewis told police a man rang
his doorbell, handed him an un
intelligible note, then went to the
front door and tried to enter.
Lewis pressed a silent burglar
alarm, alerting police, and took
a pistol with him to the front
door. The man fled.
Lewis said he saw the man hid
ing behind a parked car., so he
held him at gunpoint until police
arrived. Officers booked George
W. Sheffield, 25, Los Angeles, on
| suspicion of burglary.
