A SCIENTIFIC VIEW OF THE SUN.
The sun is 1,260,000 times larger than the
earth, though it is not a large star, com-
pared with others, for Sirius is equal in
bu k to 5,000 of our suns. The solar system

age di8tance from the earth is 91,430,000.
miles; the rotation on its axis occupies
about 25.38 days. Most persons are now.
aware that this great globe is not a solid
body like our earth. It is a great chemical
laboratory, _generating and sending forth
that light, and heat, and chemical force, on
which all life, animaland vegetable, depends.
Thus,under theanalyzing scrutiny ofmodern
violence it is found to be neither solid nor
fluid, but a vast globe of glowing gas, 865,-
000 miles in diameter. The. sizes of which
scientists speak are in each instance capable
of actual measurement by the refined in-
struments that are now constructed. Now
this statement as to tie - size of the min -
865,000 miles across—produces but a very
indefinite impression on the mind. Prof.
Y ung, an eminent astronomer, presents it
lit
• el • ly in something like the following: In
or r that the sue's diameter may bo more
easily realized, imagine the sun to be a
hollow sphere, and the earth to be placed
in the centre. This would reduce the dis-
tance to about 432,000 miles. The interior
of this shell would of course appear like a
sky to the inhabitants of the earth. It
should next be remembered that the moon
is revolving round the earth at a distance
of 240,000 miles. It will appear, then, that
there is room not only for the moon's, orbit
within the hollow sun, but also for another
moon 190,000 miles beyond her ! What a
ponderous globe of glowing gas! Not much
wonder, when its vertical rays shine on the
• earth in summer—for the sun is more re-
• mote from the earth in summer than in
winter, when it chines on the earth more
obliquely—that it cause e the inhabitants of
Canada to swelter in 90° and more.
THE CAUSE OF THE SEASONS.
The semen are due to the' fact that the
earth, on her path around the sun, turns on
an inclined axie. If her axis were upright
there would be no seiteons. On the other
hand, if its inclination were greater, than it
is, there would,be a mote violent and ex
treme difference than now exists between
- summer and winter. It is found that the
axis of Venus is much more inclined than
that of the earth, consequently, the seasonal
extremes must be very great. Such extremee
• of heat that must exist when the sun shines
on her denim atmosphere, and such an
it highest pace at one of the most
critical onrvea in the whole journey. There
are two speoially sharp curves in the planet's
path. These are the two extremities of the
ellipse which it followe. The cautious
engine -driver would creep around these
with equal care, and no doubt the planet
goes slowly enough about that end of the
ellipige farthest from the sun.
There its page is slower than anywhere
else; but from that moment cowards the
planet steadily applies itself to getting up
more and more speed. As it traverses the
comparatively straight portion of the celes-
tial road the pace is ever accelerating until
the sharp curve near the sun is being ap-
proached;, then the velocity gets more and
more alarming, until at last, in utter de-
fiance of all rules of engine -driving, the
planet rushes round one of the worst parts
of the orbit at the highest possible speed.
THE ABVSSES BETWEEN TRE STARS
There ie probably no fact in antronomy
more puzzling to the ordinary mind than the
vast distances whioh exist between our sun
and the newest star, and between one star
and its neighbor. To express these dis-
tances in miles is utterly futile, as no mind
can grasp the long line of numbers which
such a method involves. A new unit of
distance has consequently been adopted—
that of speed measured.by time. Now the
swiftest measureable speed is that at
which light travels -185,000 miles a second.
This would amount to about six billions of
miles a year. The light journey of one
yeer, therefore, is the measure to be adopted.
Apply ing this measure to the nearest fixed star
—Centauri—it will take four years and four
months to span the abyss which separates
us from this sun. And yet Centauri is some
ten billions of miles nearer to UB than ally
other member of the sidereal system 1 Is
there any physical necessity for these vast
abysses of untenanted space ? Yee. Every
'star is a great magnet, attracting and being
attracted by its nearest neighbor. If our
sun can hold in check his farthest planet,
Neptune, as it spins around its orbit, at a
dietanoe of 2;800 millions of miles, how
great would bo the mutual attraction of our
sun and another sun of equal size, at even
that distance ! Here, then, ie a partial
explanation of the necessity for such vast
star separations. But why do they not
rush towards each other under the potent
influence of such attractions, even though
ouch immense distances intervene? Be-
cause of the centrifugal forces, which carry
them along at the rate at which they are
now travelling.

made quite a sensation among
the boarders—who had long
upen her in the light of -

Mr. Bruce announced their en-
eagement, though to be sure it
was in many respects a very suitable match.
They,were both young, good-looking and
honestly in love with each other, but Sall-
ee was peer and worked like a ay° to save
her mother servant hire, while Harry Bruce
was the fortunate possessor of $100,000.
Be was_perfectly sure, however, that his
money was no object with Sansie and that
she loved him for himself alone.
She was so sweet! so, pretty 1 Such a
good, loving, helpful daughter that he felt
his heart warm towards her every time he
caught sight of her pink cheeks and blue
eyes.
He insisted that Mra. Arnott should hire
a strong, capable woman, so that Susie
should have leisure to go about with him.
Then he took her everywhere, loaded her
with presents and flattered her to such an
extent that if she had not been one of the
most sensible little women in the world,
her head would have been completely
turned. As it was she took an innocent de-
light in the surprisingly long holiday, the
new and pleasant companionship.
Matters might have gone on thus, indefin-
itely had not an unexpected event ocourred.
Nothing more nor less than the advent of a
new boarder. Not only was she a strikingly
handsome woman, but elm was also an old
friend of Mr. Bruceei. There was, more-
over, a certain episode of their acquaintance
of, a peculiarly painful character, so
painful, indeed, that he had never men-
tioned, to Sansie that period 'to his life in
which she was concerned. He would have
accepted an introduction to her ignoring
any former meeting, but she made such a
course impossible by a very impressive
gesture of welcome.
" Ah ! Mr. Bruce, I amdelighted to meet
an old friend," she said, - with a. dazzling
flash of her dangerous dark eyes.
If Mr. Bruce shared her delight he said

heart to injure you. I have said enough,
too much, perhaps, and I know that I have

She handed him the paper, open. He
took it mechs.r.ically, glanced at it, read it
from beginning to end, his face growing set
and stern. It was an infamous letter,
written in his handwriting, signed with his
name.

STELLAR. MOVEMENTS..
The first step towards the unravelmept of
the tangled web of stellar movements was
taken when Sir John Herschel established
the reality, and indicated the direction of
the sun's journey through space. The sun
and his retinue of planets are advancing to-
wards a point, situated in the constellation
of Hercules, with such velocity that in one
year a distance of 154 millions of miles is
traversed, the rate being about four miles
• per second. But this speed is small when
compared with that of a number of stars
now under constant spectroscopic obeerva-
tion for motion in, the line of sight. These
speeds are found to be varying, either to or
from our system, from two to seventy miles
per second 1 But the motion of stars across •
the line of sight is also being determined. A
star, numbered 1,830 in Groombridge're
catalogue, is found to be rushing through
space at the terrific rate of 200 miles per
second ! ‘6

as during the time when Sir Isaac
Newton as brooding over his grand theory
of universil gravitation, and embodying the
*saute in his immortal .' Principia," that the
great comet of 1680 made ita appearance.
Here was an opportunity for testing New-
ton's theory by one of the most extreme
cases that could possibly occur. Tho com-
paratively steady and uniform ' motions of
the planetary bodies were with little
difficulty brought within the control of this
wondrous law, which Newton had pro-
claimed to be universal. But here was a

the hitherto sealed -up mystery, that even
this lightning -winged traveller was being
guided and curbed by a definite 'check-

illustration of the universal application of
Newton's theory.

The whole course and tendency of nature,

backward to a beginning and forward to an
end. The present order of things seems to
be bounded, both in the past and in the
future, by terminal catastrophes, which are

cas ile soap, then dip in prepared chalk. A
lady says " I have been complimented
upon the whiteness of my teeth, which were
originally anything but white. I have
used the soap constantly for two or three
years, and the ehalk for the last year. There
is no danger of scratching the teeth, as the
chalk is prepared,bnt with a good stiffbruah
and the soap is as effectual as soap and sand
on a floor."
A curious relic of old Roman life found
recently at Lenurium (Porto Portese) and
now stored in the British museum is a thin
slab of atone that was anciently a circus
poster.
