It was Sir Alexander Bradney who did most of the talking. He seemed quite at his ease, but Lady Anne had become rather absent-minded. When Bradney asked for a secon.d cup of tea she filled the cup with hot water and did not discover her mistake until she was pouring the milk into it. They both 'laughed over this inci- dent. But Ruth did not smile. She wa.s thinking of What her husband had said to her—about-Fletcher. She had not Old Vletcher -that she was going to call on Lady Anne Westlaolme.

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, StIggestIvb at.
