Facts About the SUN .

The sun is distant from the earth
90, 900, 900 miles +; its diameter is
$50, 900 miles, or more than one
hundred times that of the earth. If
placed where the earth is. its cir
cumference would not only include
the moon, which is $780, 900 miles
from the earth, but would reach
out past nearly as far again The
heat of the suns surface is equal to
that which would be produced by
burning six tons of coal per hour on
each square yard.
The outer surface Of the sun is
composed Of scales about the shape
of a willow leaf, and perhaps 1000
miles long. 1t is these that give
out the light and heat. A great
distance below this outer coat,
there is q layer of dark clouds,
probably metallic. Again there is a
great space, and then another layer
Of still darker clouds, likely of the
same material: another great in
terval, and then the solid surface
Of the sun.
The sun travels about q million
Of miles day, and yet in the last
two thousand years it has not travel
ed one sixtieth part of the distance
to the nearest star. In fact, there
is hardly any perceptible change in
its position among the stars, one Of
which--Sirius-is large enough to
make two or three hundred like it.

do so untii a further refusal would
have appeared clurlish. Twas ap-
pointed to respond to one of the
regular toasts, and refused to do SO.
My reluctance to attend or speak
at the banquet grew out of the ap-

and indecent insult to an invited
guest.

publishing this note. Very Res
