Rather more than half . century ago
there was in Paialey an eccentric man
named Anderson, who was precentor in
one of the parish churches. A brother
precentor of church which was attend
ed by 4 large proportion of the more
wealthy of the towns-pe0plo complained
loudly to him one day that his congre-
CATION did not join in the singing, ap-
parently thinking it more genteel to
leave that to the precentor himself and
to the hired band. "Tll sune max them
sing" said Mr.. Anderson; "just you
exchange vi ne for Sabbath, an zee
If dinna." The exchange took place.
Mr.. Anderson appeared in the precen-
tors desk, the psalm was given out, and
the genteel congregation, e usual, did
not Join in the singing. The precentor
stopped in the middle Of the 6rst verse,
and said, a il only thinking aloud, but
in voice distinctly audible through the
whole church, Don't know that tune,
I 80; try another" And he began
again, the second being like the hrst, Z
very common one. The change Of the
tune had no eject, the congregation
did mot ing, and again the precenter
stopped, saying, "Don't know that tame,
either; very strange; Try another" A.
third time the singing Of the psalm was
begun, . third tune being raised, but
this time Mr.. Anderson WAS succesjfnl-
the congregation sung.

Solemn Facts.

It would take 800, 900 earths to equal
the sun in size.
The sun is 400 times a. far of q the
moon.
A lady who weighs 100 pounds here
would weigh 2,7O0 pounds IT ON the sur
face of the sun.
The heat given of by the sun would
melt 2S7 ,20O, 900 cubic miles of ice every
second.
The diameter Of the earth bears the
same relation to its distance from the
sun a. tie breadth of = hair to 126 feet.
A railroad train travelling without
stops 1t the rate of forty miles an hour
would get to the sun in 263 years.
The sun is believed to become some
$50 feet smaller every year.
This contraction would be sufficient to
generate the enormous quantity of heat
which it radiatea
Another theory ie that comets and
meteoric matter falling into the sun may
be its aliment to offset the tremendous
loss which combustion certainly in
wolves
1t would require the combustion of
thirty feet of coal over the entire surface
of the sun every second to generate the
same heat
The stars are supposed to average
larger than our sun, and to have plane
tary systems like his.
The nearest star is 25O, 900 times as far
off a. our sun.
1t takes light eight minutes - come
from the sun, but It must have required
80, 900 years to come from the farthest
visible stars.
When the eleven year storms on the
sun occur, the magnetic needle ON the
earth is variable, and sometimes consid-
erably detected.
The earth is flying around the sun at
the rate of 1000 miles . minute.
The sun and stars are moving through
space, accompanied by their planetary
systems, at rate varying from 20 TO 200
miles . second.
Some of the sun-spots (craters) are
LOG, 900 miles in diameter, and one of
them would easily swallow up the whole
of the planets, Jupiter himself only
making q mouthful.
