In rotating, the light from one Is stopped by the other every six hours; that is, in six hours the stars if this doublet revolve around each ither so as to eclipse. This pair of stars, or this star composed of a pair, is three times denser than our sun and each is about the same size as the sun. The double-sta- r Is so far distant from the earth that It takes its light, traveling 186,000 miles per second, several years to reach the earth. In fact, if it died or disintegrated, it would be years before we knew it. For all we know sve may not be looking at this star itself, but at its image of years ago. When we look at the stars we do not see them as they are today, but as they were when the light left them oerhaps hundreds of years ago. Detroit News. The Docs Diagnosis.

In one letter, dated from Halifax in 1799 the duke wrote: You will receive at the same time with this an official letter from me on the subject of the force allotted for North America.
