Scientific paper

EVERY one who observes the stars at all must have noticed that they twinkle much more on some nights than on others, and this irrespective of any sensible difference in the clearness of sky or air. On rare occasions the twinkling becomes a really striking phenomenon, and at such times it is interesting to note the series of changes which together make up a ``twinkle,'' For this purpose it is convenient to select two stars of suitable size and distance apart, and to look steadfastly at one, while the attention is directed to the other. The star which is not looked at will become alternately visible and invisible, and the manner in which these changes succeed each other will be found rather remarkable.
