ORIGIN OF WEDDING RINGS
According to Ancient Ritual Husband
Began by Placing Band en Thumb
and Next Three Fingers,
According to tho ancleut ritual In
marriage, tho husband began the ring
business by placing it upon tho bride's
thumb and putting It successively on
the next two fingers, pronouncing for
each ono a person of tho Trinity;
witn a flnal amen when tho fourth
finger was reached, and there tho ring
remained.
Tho Greek church ritual directs that
the ring bo placed upon tho right
hand. Puritan lnlluenco sought to
abolish tho ring ns a vain and heathen
emblem, but tho sweet old fashion of
giving and taking emblem, "for our
love's salto," yet remains to us.
Betrothal or engagement rings vary
In fashion nowadays and always de

WHY LITTLE STARS TWINKLE
British Scientist Says Phenomena I
Chiefly Effect Produced n Atmoi
phere on Waves of Light.
Perhaps you remember that In youth
soino kindly elder soul took you Into
tno darkness of some glorious Bum
mer night and polntod out the start
and planets, tolling you glibly enough
that tho unwinking star overhead was
a planet, while "that blue ono down
there which twinkles" was a star. The
fact that planots shone only or mainly
with roflccted light, while tho stan
"burned," was supposed to explain the
1 lt.lt 1 i a . . -
iwinming, as against tno stcnurnst
radiance. Even this young Illusion Is
dispelled by n British scientist, who
says:
"The twinkling of the stunt Ib chlof
ly an effect produced In our atmos
phere upon tho waves of light It It
duo to currents and strata of air ol
different densities Intermingling and
floating past each other, through which
the light passes to the dyo, It Is seen
much more In cold than in varm
weather, and near the horizon more
than overhead. The sarao effect may
he seen by looking out of a window
over a hot radiator, or at a candle
held on the other sldo of a hot stove,
so that one must look through a body
of highly heated air at tho candle
flamo. The flamo will bo seen to
waver and quiver. The various layers
of air are at different densities and in
motion. Rapid twinkling of tho stars
Is a sign of a chango of weather."
