Most of the textbooks suggest tha temporary stars, or "novae," may re ult either from the collision of tw< bodies In space or from a sudden ea plosion or eruption of a single body Professor Hale, In his recent review of the last ten years' work at Moun Wilson, states that a more plauslbl hypothesis Is that of a faint star sud denly plunging Into a gaseous nebula The spectra of novae, after pasalni through remarkable changes, have usu ally been supposed to correspon* closely In their last visible stage wltl the spectra of nebulae. Observation at Mount Wilson, however, are In hai mony with an observation of Hart mann In showing that thero Is, at leas in some cases, a still later stage, li which the characteristic lineB of th nebular spectrum disappear, as If th star had finally passed out of the n< bula which caused Its sudden outburs of luminosity. On this hypothesis, th ^temporary brightness of these star would be analogous to that of a m< teorlte passing through the earth's at VnoanhorA onH rolanH InnanHaaaAnA M,.u (Miaou w luvauuoovvuv by friction.?Scientific American.

In estimating consumption of gaso line statisticians usually figure oon sumption by motor owners as the prln ^plpal demand on refiners and lumj other consumption as not of great lm portance. However, President Brace of the National Association of Dyen and Cleaners, recently called attea *tlon to the great amount of gasoline used by cleaning establishments.

One of the Swjss commissioners said: "I am satisfied 1 from my knowledge that no people 'r have made in so short a tlmo so many 1 useful inventions as tho Americans, i. and if today machinery apparently s does all the work, it nevertheless by / g no means reduces the workman to a t ) machine. lie uses a machine, It is x true, but he is always thinking about somo improvement to introduce into i, it, and often his thoughts lead to fine ; inventions or useful improvements." >- The reports to parliament of the Briti Ish commissioner said that "as reel gards extent of invention and ingonub ity, the United States was far ahead i- of other nations," and that "Judgod i by its results In benefiting the public, b both by stimulating inventors and by ( a giving a perseveringly practical turn ? to their/labors, the wAmerican patent r law must be admitted to De'the most successful." , Hsr View of 8elf. \ She was a typical East side girl and, ] . though plainly dressed, was very pret- ] ty.

"Do they play It away off , there, too?" "Oh, yae," replied the girl. "They play It all over the place." "Well," concluded the East side girl, i dismissing the subject with definite t finality and a shrug of her shoulders, c .
