Prof. Young, the matlimiatician and
astronomer,gives nri some concrete Mtn-
-trationenf thermarvele el the universe that
are fascinating in their way. The traveller
who would make the circuit of the world
in eight days would require nearly twenty-
four years to circumnavigate the sun. -The
sun's outface is nearly 1'4000 tirnes and its
volume or bulk more than 1,800,000 times
greater than that of the earth. If the
earth is represented by it three-inch globe
the sun, on the same:, Kale, will be more
than twenty-seven feet in diameter, and its
distance 8,000 feet.' If the sun, were hol-
low, and the earth at its centre there
would be room for the moon 240,006 miles
may, and for another satellite 190,00
miles beyond her. The MOAB of the sun,
that is, the quantitrof matter outlined in
is nearly 330,000 times as great as that
of the earth. This mass is about 750 times
as great as the combined maws of all the
planets and satellites of the solar system;
It is two octillions of tons. The attractive
pull of this tremendous* mass upon the
earth, at a distance of nearly :93,000,000
miles again transcend* all conception. It
is thirty-six Quadrillions of tone in figures,
36 followed by 17 ciphers. If gravitation
Were to cease, and steel wires Were used to
hold the earth in her orbit, each wire being
-as large -as the heaviest telegraph wire (No.
4), it would require nine to, each square
inch of the earth's surface, and the
whole sunward hemisphere of our
globe Would have to he covered as
thickly as blades of gra4 upon a lawn. A
man who on earth oftki weigh. 250 pounds,
would at the stui weigh neuly two tons,
and be unable to stir. A planet as far away
