ARE WE GOING BACK!

Lady Rhondda's address on the character of the modern womai'drew a large audience, mainly of women, to the meeting of the Ethological Socisty last month.

Lady Rhondda said it was impossible to say yet whether the obvious and superficiat differences between men and women were due to fundamental differences in character

or

to the difference in their education and environment and in what the community ex- pected of them. The question was very im portant, because women were beginning to take their share in the business. of the State, and if there were a big fundamental difference in regard

to intellect we should expect character

to seegevernment gradually, taking a different direction. It was always easy to generalise about women, and it was in-

Lady Rhondda amused ber audience by quoting from Mrs. Lynn Linton's famous article on The Girl of the Period,” which was published in 1868, sentences that may be matched in publications of to-day. Sod quoted strictures about girls

STAR'S "MAGNITUDE INCREASED.

Camille Flammarion, the astrono. mer, on February 28th, reported to the French Academy of Science that a star of the mesond maguitudo, Beta Ceti, in the constellation of the Whale, has suddenly become tu de

a star of the first magnitude, with

a brilliance surpassing that of Aldebaran.. The phenomenon was first observed at Athens by Mr. Abbott, who is a member of the French Academy of Science, and was reported to M. Flammarion, who has since confirmed it by chaorvations made at the Juvisy Observatory. The brillianse of the star is estimated to have increased from ten to fifteen times.
