If such is the case we should well expect collisions to occur most frequently in the region where stars and dark nebulae appear most abundant, as is the case in the neighborhood of the Milky Way. The discovery of a nova is always one of the more spectacular results of astronomical research which never fails to arouse popular interest. None of the recent discoveries can be found with the naked eye, their magnitude ranging between six and seven. The most recent nova bright enough to be seen with the naked eye was Nova Aquilae Number 3 which suddenly...

The snow, which covered the ice in spite of efforts to keep it clear, slowed up the play very much, so that no spectacular work was possible. G. C. Guild and A. H. Ladd, the two Crimson wings, worked well together, while D. F. Thayer and J. Larocque exhibited considerable shooting ability, each caging the puck once. Neidlinger and Cole starred for the visitors in the offensive game, while Pfaffman at cover-point...
