The Astronomical Enigma—The Interven give tion of Fragments of Disrupted Worlds or the Effect of Air Currents. Thia is a question that has exercised more than oue geutlemau of science, i Of course it is known that only the stars twinkle, the planets giving out a steady light. That is the way we tell a star from a planet with the ! naked eye. Itut why does the star twinkle at all? j The answer to this seems to be on ac count of tlie greater distances of the i stars, the nearest fixed star being sev- i eml thousand times farther from us i than the farthest planet. So around I this as a starting point have been built | two theories. One is that as the visual angle, or angle subtended by the star from the eye. is so very small that very small bodies in space com ing between the star and the eye would give the effect of twinkling. Now. as regards those small bodies actually being in space as hypothecat ed there is no doubt for there are mil- j lions of fragments of disrupted worlds j flying aYound in orbits about out- sun. The only question is whether there are enough to cause the eternal twinkling ' that is observed. Science cannot say that enough do not exist, for she can not perceive the existence of the small est fragments that actually could cause this effect, even with her finest instru ments. To illustrate, then, my meaning as 1 regards this covering of the visual j angle, suppose you take a dime be- I tween your thumb and finger and hold i it tietween your eye and the moon un- i til it just covers the moon. It will be found to tie quite close to the eye. Now take a quarter and bold it so that it just covers the moon. Its distance is at once seen to be about four times the dime’s from the eye. Tims it is seen that the farther outward the object is placed t’ne larger the object necessary. This is in accord with what is known as the law of inverse squares. But now take a dime or even a pin head, and no matter how far you hold it from the eye it will easily cover the largest star in the heavens. This is on account of the enormous distance of the star, the lines drawn from its sides to the eye inclosing an angle so minute that almost anything will fill it. So thus we see that this theory is not im possible, though perhaps somewhat im probable. The other theory bases its argument on the air currents. Air currents are caused by light and heated air rising and cold anti heavy air taking its place. Now, when light goes from a heavy to a light gas. or vice versa, it is bent one way or the other.- So this would certainly happen to the light from all the heaveul.v bodies. The reason it is not uoticed in tlie case of the planets or the sun is that they send 11s many- more rays as compart'd to the stars. Many reasons are put forward to show tlie truth of this theory. A star twinkles more on tlie horizon than it does in the zenith, for its light has to come through a greater thickness of atmosphere; also greater twinkling is observed in winter than in summer, and when rapid and brilliant twinkling is seen it is a very good prophecy of rain or snow, as it shows the upper re gions of tlie air to be in a state of rapid motion of varying air currents, hot and cold currents meeting, com mingling and rotating probably. This also accounts for the changes in the brightness of a star, for at times a part and not all of its light is bent away from the eye. It has been no ticed also that a star’s color has some thing to do with its twinkling on ac count of the different refractivities of the different colors. A white or blue star, such as the Dog star, twinkles most; next comes the yellow and last the red. If one cares to look for a red star. Betelgeux is one and can be found in one corner of the constella tion Orion. A rather interesting thing has been ascertained in astronomy as regards the relation between tlie color of a star and its age. The white or blue stars are considered young or in the prime of life, with many more million years to their career, while a red star, as Betelgeux. is on the wane and will grad ually go out in tlie next few million years. See if It doesn't! The yellow stars of course come between the blue and tlie red in point of age. It is en couraging to find that our own sun is rlasKitied ns a white star. — A.
