All oid-iime legends, conflicting
though they are in tlieir details, agree
in the fact that Orion was a mighty
giant or warrior pursuing Taurus, thet
aere-ss the heavens with uplifted
club in his right band and a lion's skill
thrown Over his left shoulder, The
fier,y- red, star, Aldebaran, lu the V of
the Hyades, represented the baleful,
red 'eye of the bull.
In the huge quadrilateral that out-
linethe body of Orin appear red
Betelgeuse in the northeastern cor-
ner; brilliant, blue -white Rigel, like
diamond, diagonally apposite -to Betel-
geuze ; Saiph in the south-eastern cor-.
her, and diagonally opposite to Sainli:
Bellatrix. A small group of faint Stars
Above the quadrilateral represents the
head of Orion. In It e ceoter, midwaY
between Betelgeuze and Rigel, is the
line' of three evenly spaced stars that
form the Belt of Orion and from the
sbuthern end of the hell hangs the
Sword of Orion. The central, fuzzy --
appearing star in tho sc,lrord represents
tb,e Great Orion -Nebula, the. finest ob. a,
ject of its kind in the heavens. It ,
condensed abeut the sextuple star,
Theta) a star that, is made up of _six
physically connected stare, four of
which are visible in small` telescopes,
This group lies at the end of a dark
gap in the Midst Of the Grea.t Nebula
known as -the flsh's mouth, which is
probably in realit3, a darg nebula shut-
ting off the light from stars beyond.
All of the brighter ctara in the con-
stellation, witbathe exception of Betel-
genze, form an enormous group of,
stars of inconeeiva.bly great exteot
and at an enermous distance from the
earth. It has been estimated that the
Great Nebula and brighter stars of
Orion are about 600 light years from.
the earth. That is, the light from this
group of stars that is entering our
eyes to -clay- has been traveling toward *
us for SIX centuries with a velocity. of
186,000 miles a second. We see these
stars not as they are to -day, but as
they were ,six centuries ago.
The Orion stars are all bluish -white
in color and are the most massive and .
hottest of all the stars. Their S1.11113,GB
temperatures are believed to be at '
least as high as 20,000 degrees, as com-
pared with a surface temperature of
11,000 degrees for Mir 01591, sun.
The red star Betelgiieze that marks
the right shoulder of Orion is, -v-cry dif-
ferent in type from the' typical Orion
star, and is not a true member of the
Orion group. It is only about a third
as 'far away -as the Orion stars, or,
about 200 light years,- This is the star
whese diameter wael measured' -a short
time ago by the interferometer meth-
od devised- by Prof. Albert_A. Michel-
son and fonnd, to be approximately
275,000,000 miles- in' diameter, or 320
times that of the sun. Betelgeuze ia
one of the"su,pe,r.giants of the: universe,
but its density- is estinta,ted to be less
than one-thousan,dth of the density of
air at the seashore.
Germ That Cali -sea Colds.
Fresh proof that corcunon colds are
infectious, and. probably due to a germ
so small that it cannot be seen through, :
the most powerful microscope, was
presented by Dr. Peter K. Olitalty, of
the Rockefeller Institute of New York, :
o the America,u, Public Health Aesoci-
ation.
Human beings- were used in the lab-
oratory experiments. Dr, 011tsky
stated that the experimental work in '
which he and Dr. J. T9., McCartney
were associated was done ever a
period of four years.
The many experiments were made
on haiman volunteers because aniinals,
were unsuitable for the purpose. The
Slight symptoms of a common cold are
difficult to detect in rabbits.
Subjects were infected with -the
iul-
tored -washings from the nasal mein-
branes of a sufferer froni a oold. They
proniptly developed colds thaw:solve:A,
which were transmissible, isa like man-
net- to other volunteers.
Dr. 0Iitsky said that this indicated
that'a germ was tho causative agent,
and that it was so small that it passed
through the pores of an earthenware
filter.
The germ remained invisible al-
though cultures were prepared from
the nasal secretions of _forty patients
will colds., This. indicates either that
the germ is too small to be seen
through the most poWarful micro.
scopes or that the methods used were
unsuitable for its fbod requirements,
Experiments on rabbits had deter-
mined that the common cold is wholly
distinct from epidemic influenza,
