ran and the drift wood came down the
narrow passage below would gorge, and
the river would stand back on the former
bed Of the lake.
Z To remedy this, a race Of people far
superlorto the present Indians--probably
the ancestors Of the Aztecs--built the
mounds as places Of refuge for themselves
and their focks and herds, when the water
rose, They were evidently built for prac
tical purposes, and are clearly artificial
formations They were not intended for
tunuIS burial places) as no skeleton or
weapon has been found In any Of them
except one skeleton, and that was wrapped
in a Mackinaw blanket If we take into
account the "wear down" of all these
mounds for a thousand years, and count
their numbers on both sides Of the river,
1t is easy to see they were once capaeious
enough to furnish places of refuge for all

I Sic Of the stars.

-
How LARGE are the stars, and are they
alike, or do they differ Ii sizes II used TO
be conjectured that they are Of somewhat
similar magnitude, presumably about as
great as our sun, and that the differences
Of apparent size are due to differences Of
distance; but " hen astronomers came 10
discover that some Of the smaller stars are
nearest 10 our system, this idea fell 10 the
ground. "A German computor has now,
however, calculated the actual Dimensions
Of one particular star, and finds that Its
mass Is rather more than three times that
of the sun. The star In question is less
than the fourth inagnitude-Aa conlpara-
lively small one. What then, must be
the Aize.of the Sirius and Aldebaran class
The reason Of Its selection for this deter
minationssWas, that Il is one Of the compo-
pents Of what is called binary systen-twe
stars revolving about each other like the
sun and planet-land the motions Of tht
members of such system afford data fol
