THE DAILY EYttwiriG TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, APiUL 22, 1870.
A Ntnr In I'lumen.
from ihs Lvndvn fj ttlalor.
Again we bav new from the Bonlhero
alien, and ngnin the ncene of interest lien in
that marvellous region of the heavens which
forms the extremity of tbo keel of Argo. In
this glorinuB region of the skies stars are
spread with a profusion which surpasses any
thing Been from our northerly Htnnd-point.
From Kirins southwards towards Curjopns the
density of stellar aggregation steadily in
creases. Thence along the keel of the great
Hliip Ktars of all maqniUidefl are spread in
greater and greater profusion, bo that, as
Humboldt tells us, the eky hero ahedd a rn
tlinn:e rrKeuibling that of the young moon,
and by the mere increase of light one can tell
without turning towards Argo when hor re
npleudent keel is riwing above the hori.ou.
Hut it is where the Milky Way narrows down
towards the great nebula in Argo that the
climnx of splendor is reached. "It Is not
easy," writes Bir John Ilerschel, "for lan
guage to convey a full impression of the
beauty and sublimity of the spectacle which
this nebula offers, as it enters the fluid of
view of tbo telescope, ushered in as it i
by bo glorious and innumerable a procession
of stars."
W hen Sir John ITerschel wrote thus, there
lay in the very heart of that amazing nebula
a fixed star which bhone as brightly as Aldo
baran or Antares. Eta Argus, for the star
bas received no special title, and is spoken of
only by its Greek letter, had beon described
by llulley as a star of the fourth maguitude.
Later the French astronomer Lacaille saw it
of the second magnitude. When Sir John
Uersehel was pursuing his wonderful series
of observations on the Southern heavens, this
star Rhone as a moderate first-magnitude sUr,
and in his noble picture of the great nebula
(which lies before us as we write), the star
is placed in the very densest part of the ne
bulous matter, and close by the borders of
the mysterious vacuity which marks the cen
tral region of the nebula.
Since 1837, however, the star has exhibited
new and even more surprising changes. It
increased in splendor in a strangely fluctuat
ing manner, occasionally losing brilliance for
awhile, to renew its glories presently, until at
length, in 1843, it surpassed Ganopus in
brightness and rivalled even the blazing
Sirius. Then began a long process of doca
dence, the star falling gradually away from
magnitude to magnitude until it almost passed
the limits of naked-eye vision, and came to be
described as a low sixth-magnitude star.
Meantime, the nebula around it waxed in
splendor. When Uersehel had been at the
south cape the nebula could barely be seen
with the naked eye on the darkest and clearest
nights; but lately it had reached so high a
degree of brilliancy that it was visible even
when the moon was shining brightly enough
to obliterate all bnt tho leading stars.
Then, as we lately recorded, news caine
from the Melbourne Observatory, where
Grubb's splendid reflector is at work in the
able hands of La Sueur, that the nebnla had
changed in form since Ilerschel kad depicted
it. In particular it was remarked that all
ronnd the star Eta there was either no
nebula or but little, whereas during llerschel's
observations, as we have mentioned, the
nebula was brighter round this star than
elsewhere.
And thus it happened that whereas Sir John
Uersehel had comceived the nebula to lie far
out in space beyond the stars with which it
seemed to be associated, Le Sueur argued,
from the remarkable changes to which the
nebula has been subjected, that it cannot be
so enormously extended as Herschel's views
would imply, and in all probability lies nearer
to us than the fixed stars in the same direc
tion. Before this the present writer had
urged that the nebula is really, and not
merely in appearance, associated in the most
intimate manner with those fixed stars.
And now we have intelligence respecting
the Btar which throws a new and unexpected
light on the whole subject.
It will be remembered that in May, 18(G, a
star suddenly blazed out in the constellation
Corona (close by the uplifted right arm of
Bootes). Studied with the spectroscope by
the eminent physician Hoggins, this new
object was fund to be in a strange condi
tion. Its rainbow-tinted spectrum, crossed
by a multitude of dark lines, showed that it
was, at least for the time, a sun like 014
own, an incandescent body shining through
absorbent vapor. But besides the dark lines
there were seen several bright lines, and
these lines interpreted according to the usual
principles of spectroscopic analysis taught us
that the Btar was surrounded by glowing hy
drogen. The new orb was, in fact, a sun in
flames. Gradually those flames died out, and
now that orb has seemingly returned to the
condition it was in before the outburst, and
can still be seen by the telescopic, shining
with the faint radiance of a tenth-magnitude
star amid the depths of space.
And now it appears that tho wonderful va
riable in Argo is also a star in flames. Its
spectrum exhibits the same characteristics as
that of the star in Corona, except that the
dark lines which cross it are somewhat less
distinctly marked. There, however, are tho
bright lines which indicate the existence of
glowing gas around that distant orb, and the
position of those lines serves to show in the
clearest manner that the star, like the orb in
Corona, is covered with hydrogen flames.
LineR, as yet not measured, seem to corres
pond with a well-known bright lino in the
spectrum of tho solar prominences, and with
a line of nitrogen.
Tnt the spectroscope has also given very
tliikiDg evidence respecting the association
between the nebula and the star. All around
the star M. Le Sueur sought for the character
istic spectrum of the nebula. He could not
. K - 1 . 11
obtain that spectrum irom any pari 01 mo
space which immediately surrounds the star,
a fact which shows most conclusively that the
absence of nebulous light here is not apparont
(or due, as might have been suspected, to the
fact that the star's light simply overpowers
that of the nebula), but real. The nebula
which Sir J. Uersehel, when the star was
bright, saw all around Eta Argus has really
retreated from that blazing sun.
M. Le Sueur has been led by this circum
stance to BUggest a view which involves the
theory of the present writer that star and
nebula are associated. He asks, "Is not the
presence of nitrogen and hydrogen in the star
Eta a significant fact in connection with the
changes of the nebula, changes which appear
to be nothing less than a destruction of nebula
in the neighborhood of the star V" He points
also to the fact that the star is increasing in
brightness, and asks whether the bright-line
character of the spectrum may not be due to
a commencement of increase in the star.
But supposing the bright-line spectrum to
indicate a destruction of tho nebula all round
the star, how can the star ever be restored
as astronomers are Drettv confident it w ill be
to its former Bplendor ? Very little doubt
tan exist that Eta Argus, like the famous
klira of the Whale, is a variable of long
period. If, even now, when it seems to have
consumed the nebula in its neighborhood, it
fcbines but faintly, how is it to grow brighter
and brighter nntil it surpasses the splendor it
bad when Sir John Ilerschel Raw it involved
in nebnlcnR matter ? Is it not far more pro
vable tbat the existence of nebulous matter
around the star is a necessary condition of
the Mar's brightness? that the Rtar will re
cover its brilliancy when the nebulous matter
comes back to it? and that the periodicity of
this star (us probably of other variables) U
dne to the periodic chnraetor of the motions
which take place in the nebula?
Bnt our Rim is himself a periodic variable.
IJns be, then, nebulous food brought to him
in grc-Bter or leas quantities at regular periodic
intervals ? The flames which surround him
exhibit the very same bright lines as the
flames around the stnr in Argo. They only
need to bear a greater proportion to the sun's
extent to show their bright lines upon the
Holur spectrum precisely as the bright lines
Appear in the spectrum of Eta Argus, only in
comparably inure resplendent. But whore
is tho solar nebula which is required
to make the analogy complete ?
Surtly we see it in the crown
of glory which shines around the sun
during totnl eclipses. Those strangely
figured radiations, the peculiar contorted
structure of portions of tho corona (compared
by Arogo to hanks of thread in disorder), and
the variable brilliancy and extent of the ob
ject during different eclipses, seem very
plainly to point to the conclusion that our
sun has, like Eta Argus,its nebulous surround
ing. Like Eta Argus, too, our sun is a star
in flames, and it only needs that the nebulous
matter round tho sun should resemble the
Argo nebula in relative extent, in order that
the solar flames should shine like those round
Eta Argus, with a splendor overmastering that
of the orb they belong to.
riGUTISG THE REGAL TIGER.
I'll nee Alfred' f.'rpnt Tlfcrr nunt-350
tic-
pliant. In the Held.
Trince Alfred, the Duke of Edinburgh, is
enjoying himself greatly in India. In Febru
ary he was magnificently entertained near the
boundaries of Nepaul by Sir Jung Bahadoor,
a native prince of immense wealth.
The Duke reached his camp on the banks
of the Mohan river, which separates Oude
from Nepaul, at 8'50 on the morning of the
'2'Jd of February. Soon afterwards Sir Jung
Buhadoor, who was encamped on the op
posite bank, came across to meet and con
gratulate his royal guest. He was in full
state costume, and wore a splendid head
dress, valued at thirty-five thousand dollars
in gold. After a pleasant interview, Sir
Juijg Bahadoor having laid aside his elegant
attire and replaced it by a hunting costume,
the two Princes set out for the great tiger
hunt which the Indian host had planned for
the entertainment of the lloyal English sports
man. The battle which followed is described
as absolutely unique. There were upwards of
three hundred and fifty hunting elephants in
the field; a tiger was soon started out of the
jungle, and by masterly management was
gradually so hemmed in by elephants that at
last these formed a complete circle of not
more than sixty yards diameter, with only the
Prince, Sir Jung Bahadoor, and the tiger in
the central space.
When the latter realized his situation, he
ran roaring round and round the circle trying
to find an exit, and at last made a rush at
what seemed probably the weakest point in
the circle. This, however, was just in front of
the Duke's elephant, and a well-directed shot
from his lloyal Highness rolled him over,
though it took two or three more balls to
finish him. It was an understood thing
that no one but the Duke was to fire,
and to give an idea of Sir Jung's consum
mate courtesy, it may bo noticed that he had
dismounted from his own elephant and
climbed into the state howdah, which by his
orders bad been prepared for the Duke, where
he sat behind his royal visitor, not firing him
self, but handing gun after gun to the Duke
as he required them.
The dinner that night in camp is said to
have been, considering where it was, a sight
of itself worth a journey. About i) P. M.
the tent door opened, and in long defile en
tered a string of Goorkbas, bringing trays of
presents beautiful knives, elephants' teeth,
tiger skins, China silks, musk pods, the cur
rent coins of Nepaul, and a small elephant
(who objected very much to the festivities),
and last, though not least interesting, a baby
tiger, only ten days or a fortnight old, which
made itself quite at home on the table with
the dessert, and allowed itself to be caressed
and made a pet of at once.
The Career of an Actress.
A PITIABLE STOBY.
The San Francisco Morning Call gives this
account of the life of an unfortunate actress
now in a hospital in that city:
"The actress referred to made her first
appearance in California about six years ago,
at the Metropolitan Theatre, and created quite
a favorable impression upon theatre-goers,
and caused nearly one-half of the younger
portion of the town to go daft. She was very
beautiful, of fine, commanding appearance,
and dressed with remarkably good taste, and
was always sure to attract considerable atten
tion whenever she promenaded Montgomery
street.
"She terminated her engagement at the
Metropolitan Theatre, and disappeared from
Eight for some timo, and none but hor ac
quaintances knew of her whereabouts. She
had almost faded out of the memory of the
public when Bhe was announced to appear at
one of the minor theatres. The publio talked,
and expressed their surprise that she should
condescend to appear at any but a first-class
bouse, but probably the actress know her own
necessities, and accepted the engagement
because she was compellod to. She
Dlaved at thiB house for several weeks, and
then made a tour thronch the interior 01 me
State, appearing at Marysville, Sacramento,
Stockton, San Jose, and other towns. She
also went to V lrgima, and played an engage
ment at Tiper's Opera House, and, returning,
went to Oregon, and remained there some
months. Upon her return to San Francisco
she again appeared at one of the Melodeons,
and then sank into obscurity. Two or three
years have passed away since she disappeared
entirely irom sioni, ana pernaps every uoay
imagined that Bho had gone East, but it ap
pears that such has not been the case. She
has remained here in San Franoisoo, and has
at last been attacked by consumption; and
havina exhausted all her means she has at last
. .... , 1
been compelled to seen an asyium in me uuy
and County Hospital. The persons who ia the
days of her sucoess and prosperity crowded
around her and sighed for- her smiles have
all forgotten and neglected her, and now,
instead of appearing each evening before the
footlights, and receiving the applause of de
lighted audiences, she lies in a ward in a
hosnital nnon a lowly cot, waiting the ringing-
down of the curtain upon the last act. Hers
is a sad case, and her fate a sod commentary
upon tho stability of the publio. At this
time one firm friend would be worth more to
her than oil the applause that was ever show
ered xrpon the greatest actress that ever
walked the mimio stage."

Who is be in youth, or in maturity, or even
in old agp, who does not like to huur of th.no
sensibilities which turn .'iirled heads around
at church, and Rend wonderful eyoboatrn
across assembli?, from one to one, novor
missing in tho thickest crowd ? The koiu
Btalist reckons by tens and hundreds; the
genial man is interested in every slipper timt
conns into tbe ofcfrmbly. Tho piission, alike
everywhere, creeps under the snows of Scan
dinavia, under tho fires of the equator, ami
swims in the sens of Polynesia Love U as
puissant a diviuity in the Norse E l li as
Cumadeva in the red vault of India, Eros in
tbe Greek, or Cupid in the Latin Heaven.
And what is especially truo of love U, that it
is a state of extreme impressionability; tho
lover has more senses and finer senses than
others; bis eye and cmr are telegraphs; he
reads omens on the flower, tho cloud, and
face, and form, and gesture, and roads them
aright. In his surprise at the sudden ami
entire understanding that U botweou him
and tbe loved person, it occurs to hiui that
they might somehow meet independently of
time and phico. How delicious tho belief
tbat he could elude all guards, precautions,
ceremonies, means, and delays, and hold in
Btant and sempiternal communication! Ia
solitude, in banishment, the hope returned,
and the experiment was eagerly tried. Tho
6upernal powers seem to take his part. Wh'it
wns on bis lips to Bay is uttered by his friend.
When he went abroad, ho met, by wonderful
casualties, tho one person ho sought. If in
bis walk ho chnnccd to look hack, his friend
wss walking behind him. And it has uno
pened that tbe artist has often drawn in his
pictures the fuce of the future wifo whom he
had not yet seen. Emerson.
