The Suns Distance.

At present the distance from the earth
to the sun is reckoned at ninety-two mil
lions of miles. with margin of error OF
about five hundred thousand miles. 1t Is
for the main purpose of reducing this
margin. by ut least one half. that the OBJ
servatiOns of the coming transit of Venus
are to be undertaken. In a recent lecture
on "The Constitution of the Sum-" Pro-
fessOr Young made use of the following
curious illustration, in order to aid his
hearers i'm forming an idea of the suns
distance. "YOu KNOW" he states THAI,
if you touch a part of the body, one does
not feel il instantly. If you touch the
hand of any one with a pin, it will be an
appreciable part of a second before he
will feel it and draw his hand back. Now,
if had an arm long enough to reach to
the sun, and should put my fingers into
the solar flame, and burn them there, II
would be hundred years before | would
find it out. and another hundred years be-
fore could remove my hand. Such is
the distance of the sun, and yet, across
that space, the earth responds to every
impulse of the solar surface" An illus.
tration of this character, while it elicted
the applause of the audience, failed, we
doubt not, to convey to many any more
definite idea of this immense distance thar
that obtained from the simple statement
of that distance i'm English miles.-Applc
