OTHER suns THAN OuRs MIR Proctor.
in Que Of his lectures on the subject Of
g Other Suns than Ours declared It q
fixed fact that all stars were suns. Ey-
cry star visible to the naked eye on the
clearest night was the center OF worlds
like our own, and although the most
powerful telescopes are still unable to re-
veal the circling planets. tue imagination
could certainly discern the millions of
worlds clustering around each Of these
hundreds Of thousands Of bright suns
The nearest star TO our system was Aide
baran, In the constellation Centaur, n
star only visible in Southern lautudes.
This star was 200, 900 times as far from
the earth MS the sun is and, its size was
much greater that of our sun, being about
l,l25,U00 miles IN diameter. The next
nearest star, Sirius, was much larger than
Aldcbaran. Astronomers knew that this
star was at least certain number Of bii-
lion OF miles from our system, but Inv
much more distant they could no. tell.
The lecturer supposed that the progress
OF life in this myrads OF world waA about
the same rs it is In our system, ard for
every inhabited world there were tl,cG.
sands ofwoflds upon which life was eth
or extinct or had not yet begun. The
thought Of death and desolation were so
predominant in the univers was not mel
ancholy to the lecturer as it might be "
many Q hers. The same change was 20.
ing on in the life and death Of oil these
worlds as It is seen on every hand nnd
among all thing that are at any time en.
dowcd with life and ocing.
