The MILKY WAY-The milky way forms
the grandest feature of the frmamen. 1t
completely eneircles the whole fabric of the
skies. and sends its light down upon u.s. ac
cording to the best observations, from no less
than Is, ,000.0 900 Of suns These are planted
various distances, too remote to be more than
little understood but their light, the medium
of measurement, requires for its transmit to
our earth, periods ranging from ten to thdus.
and years. Such is the sum of the great
truths revealed to US by the two Herchels,
who, with a zeal which no obstacle could
daunt. have explored every part of the pro.
digious circle. Sir William Herschel. after
accomplishing his famous section, believed
that he had gauged the milky way to its low
est depth, affirming that he could follow a
cluster of stars with his telescope. constructed
expressly for the investigation, as far back
as would require 330, 900 years for the tran
sit of its light. But presumptuous as it may
seem, we must be permitted to doubt this as
sertion, as the same telescope in the same
master hand was not sufficiently powerful
to resolve even the nebula in Orion. Nor
must we forget that light, our only clue to
those unsearchable regions, expands and de.
composes in its progress, and coming from a
point so remote. its radiant waves could be
dispersed in space. Thus the reflection is
forced upon US, that new clusters, and sys-
tens, whose beaming light will never reach
our earth, still throng beyond, and that,
though it is permitted to man to behold the
imnlensity, he shall never see the bounds of
creation. .-Ndrrels of Science. !
