MEBULA SHOWS SOME SPEED Body Flying Through the Heavtm atRate of Two Thouaand Kilom*. ten a Second. The Lowell observatory In Flagstaff, Ariz, has held a stop watch on the fnvfest moving object ever tttSoovgred. The spiral nebula catalogued jib "No. " B84, Drey era cataloyne. ro:.siell:idoo of Cetus. U flying thrduffh the heavens at the rate of 2.UU0 kilometers a second. An airplane going at this speed would circumnavigate tlie earth at the equator In less than half a minute. The spiral nebulae arc • the swiftest moving objects In the knoAm' universe, but no one- bus" ever before been detected shooting through the heavens af much motfe.than half tlie speed of bM-Drej i -Cetus. Most- stars move slowly and sedately, nlong at about lOO.idlometers a second. What Is perhaps rather humiliating to us earth dwellers Is the. fact that 5S4-Dreyer-Cetus Is moving In the direction away from pnr own earth andvjron. Of course the speed of light, which • Is nearly 300,000 kilometers a second, , makes the speed of the spiral tielsplae seem lnslgnlflcanL But light does not have to "carry weight" whereas the nebulae, though [mrhapsAn extremely diffuse and tenuous form of matter, I nre none the less material objects of quits considerable ponderosity. So, until we get I^Jer news from the celestial racetracks, we can state that the spiral 'nebula In 'Cetus Is the Speediest thing coming down the "celestial pike." — New York Independent.

( ' An oil painting, of Abrahnm Lincoln, 25 by 35 Indies In size, rescued sev- c eral years ago from a pile of supposed- t ly worthless furniture token from the , old Bed Lion Inn in Philadelphia, today forins a mystery ower which there Is much discussion by artists. After Its rescue the picture was hung In a j Philadelphia residence where uipnint- , er. BaruCh M. Feldnmn, happened upon , It and purchased 1L He began the work of reclaiming It. and after the ( . /dirt had been removed tlie portrait [ — stood o'uf, clear and well defined In all Its features. Artists who have seen the picture . -are agreed tlint the character of the | portrait Is such that -the suggestion that It might hove been painted from , r photograph' Js rendered absurd.
