In q recent lecture delivered in Edin-
burSh, on s'The Stars Professor Grant
gave graphic idea of the immensely
OF space. He said a railway train ,trav-
cling night and day at the rate OF fiffy
miles un hour, would reach the moon
in six months, the sun in two hundred
years, and Alpha Dentauri, the nearest
OF the fixed stars, in forty -two millions
of years. \ ball from gun, travelling
at the rate Of nine hundred miles an
hour, would reach Alpha Centauri in
2,7oO,O 900 years; while light, travelling
as it did at the rate Of 1875 900 miles in a
second, would not reach it in less than
three years. Light from some of the
telescope stars would take 500 years
to reach the earth; and from some of
these clusters the distance was so great
that light would take half a million of
years to pass the earth, so that we saw
objects not as they really are, but as
they were half Il million years ago,
These stars might have become extinct
thousands of years ago, and yet their
light might present itself to us AS to
the magnitude of the stars, he noticed
that it was computed that Alpha Lyra
was one hundred billions of miles dis
tant from the earth, and its magnitude
and splendor We're as 20 to when COM
pared with our sun. SilmiIar inyestiea-
tons brought out the fact that our SIM
was neither vastly greater nor vastly
less than the great majority of the stars,

On The Ohio & NHississinni.

ST. LOUIS, July 22.-The Globe-Democrat 8
special from Vincennes says that at 1915
o'clock tonight an attempt was made to get
engine III of the Ohio & Mississippi road hitched
to freight train just back Of the shops. In
side of two minutes the strikers to the number
of 100 swarmed out Of caboose and were at
the engine. "You will not pull this train
mile until we get dollar and half day."
was the threat made to the yard master The
master mechanic thought it better to return the
engine to the yards, and further efforts to move
freight trains were abandoned. There are
upwards of 200 freight cars, mostly loaded,
lying on side tracks around this city. Several
cars of perishable goods have been transferred
to other roads. The Indianapolis & Vincennes
bridge at WOrthington, bout 40 miles from
here, has been repaired and trains resumed
running yesterday.
Open threats are made that the machine
shop bands cannot go to work tomorrow, but
the master mechanic says he is determined not
to be nterfered with.
In this city railroad matters are quiet today.
No action has been taken by employees on any
road this side of the river, but there is good
deal of discussion of probabilities. In East st.
Louis it is unusually lively. There was to be
an adjourned meeting to receive the report of
the committee appointed last night. Instead
of this there was a secret meeting Of some sort
of 800 railroad men, but nothing was done.
The general tenor of the speeches was that un-
less the late reduction was withdrawn and old
rates restored with guarantee that the COM
panies make no further reduction, the men
should strike.
