Millions on Millions of Them Are. Flying Through Space. THE PERILS OF A COLLISION. What Would Happen if One of the Lar- gar of These Erratic Derelicts Should Whirl Itself. into Our Soiar System. Tho Birth of a Nebula. • Possibly it has never occurred to many people abet there are such bodies as dark stars, but so great an autboxity as Sir Robert Teak has said that the dark stars are to the bright for num- bers as the cold. horseshoes in existeuce are to the red hot ones. For every such hot one there must be ri5'.any hundreds of cold ones, so that if thesimile is sound the heavens must contain an to credible number of these derelicts on the ocean of space, whirl, baring rived their life, have grown cold and dead, but are still racing about at stnespeed until in their wanderings they rneet some other heavenly body In terrific eotlision, Such gigantic catastrophe as the clash of two suns, each perha5J s rola lions of miles in diameter, rushing et each other at the rate of tweets. ee thirty or even more tulles per •et•ond would result. so the 'niatlretuati'iami. tett us, in a Nvorld splitting explosion exactly as It *mete were composed of billions or billions of tons of gramme der, and as when gunpowder, explodes nothing is !eft but gas and smoke, so in the clash of stars nothing would be left of the two great solid bodies which had collided: but an immense whirling mass of int•anaieet•ent gas called a nebula,. of which, as most people know, there are quite a number dotted over the•• heavens. This maelstrom of gas would sail abont-among the stars for ages, in the coarse of which it would naturally cool down and condense into' a star system much like our own, with probably a central sun, planets and moon. Some of these would sooner or -later arrive at a condition of temperature suitable for the support of life and as the centuries passed would become peopled with sentient beings._ <Grad' •ually they would grow too cold for fife to exist and tinnily beeorue frigid, cold, dark stars once more. The number of stars visible to the naked eye is only a few thousands. With the best tele- scope and other instruments it is cal culated we can detect abotrt"a hun- dred . millions- -not a Targe number (there are fifteentimes as many peo- ple as that living on this globe); but, Judging by Sir Robert Ball's horse- shoe simile and reckoning only a bun- dred dark ones to every bright one, we may take it that there must be at least 10,000,000,000 dark stars chasing about In space, mist of wvhii•h we have never' seen and probably toner will see. I say most of which. for perhaps it may come as a surprise to some that the earth we live in is a dark star. So are all the other planets and plane- toids of our solar system. which with their moons. of which bodies, shining only by the reflected light of the sun. there are at least' GOO .known to as- tronomers. Nor must we forget to mention those bodies called shooting stars which may _ be seen almost any clear night it patiently watched for. These. thong") they look like stars, are hardly, as every one knows, to be dig- nified by the name, being mostly but very small masses of matter flying about in "space. They are quite eoid and dark until they enter our atmos- phere,• which they do at such a speed as raises them at once to a wbite heat by friction of their passage through It, and thus they are revealed to as. For every one we see there must be ninny thousands whose paths miss us entirely. ships that pass in the night, silently' and unknown. Some of these are of immense magnitude and are un- doubtedly n doubtedly regular in their course. Others are douhtlens dying about the beavens on haphazard patbs. and it it , eonceirable that one might come along and collide with us or our sun. The resin of surf a collision would undoubtedly be the end of this earth and its inhabitants. - If the intruder were of any respecta- ble size a collision with any of the lar- ger of the solar system would members , produce such a conflagration as would raise the temperature of all the rest above the point at which life-•. as we know it could exist "The earth and aft the inhabitants thereof would be burnt up and the elements would melt with fervent heat" Even if such a star did not collide but merely passed through our system, the effect of its attraction would altogether upset pres Pit conditions and almost certainly bring about the cessation of lire on the ena!h' Neither can we encourage ourselves. with the hope that the collision would be too sudden for as to know meet) about it. No such thing., Our astrono- mers would see the star directly it got near enough for the sun to fight it up, probably fifteen or twenty years before it arrived, according to its size and speed. They would be able to calms - late its path and foretell to a few utes the precise moment or the cans- :trophe, and we should have tee added. hi)tror of the nntieipatlon of our slowly ‘atleanc-Ing dooin, Indeed, the passage of eyeit a small star quite outside our system by many millions of miles would still Gave a strflicientiy disturb int; effect on us to draw tis out or our path and alter entirely our climate and temperature, --Chambers' Journei.
