up to the imagination. More than al
hundred millions of the fxet
stars, said the Professor, are revealed
by the powerful telescopes that are nov
in use by astronomers of the world
and each star, according to the belief o.
modern astronomy, the center of worlG
or system similar to our own solar sys
tenn, around which planets revolve per
petually as our earth and its brother
planets revolve forever around our OWE
sun. Nor is there reason to suppose that
even this enormous extent of starry ex
panse is all reached by the range of oul
vision, aided though it be by the
powerful telescopes that we USE
How much lies beyond it is i'm
possible for the mind of man to even
guess, since we are unable to conceive
or measure with any figures that are pos
sible to the finite comprehension, the
vastness of distance hence to even the
nearest of the stars. And the separation
of one of these from Others that seem to
us near neighbors in the heavens are cal
culated to be as wide as the distance
from our own Sun and its system to any
of the stars that twinkle in the heavens.
The Professor reasoned from astronom-
ical data that nearly all of the brighter
stars of the armament are undoubtedly y
far larger and brighter than our own
sun, and that viewed from the nearest
one We see at night in the heavens our
own sun would probably appear like the
faintest that we are able to distinguish
with the naked eye. Some he measured
were many times and some were many
hundred times greater than our own sun,
and Sirius or the Dog Star, the largest
and brightest in the heavens, is four
times as far away as the nearest one to
this system. The spectrum reveals, how
ever, the identity of stellar and solar
light and heat and seems to unite the. in
conceivable vastness of the realms OF
space as part of a great illimitable
whole ruled by laws that are unchang-
ing as truth and guided by mind and
power too vast to even attempt to con-
ceive of without awe unspeakable.

The HIbernatIon Of Animals.

MOsr beasts do not hibernate, be-
cause they have the power of keeping
up uniform body-temperature in spite
Of the cold of winter. In the dormouse,
marmot, and many allied forms, how
ever, as also in the hedgehog and in
bats, we do find this winter sleep to
occur. The lower animals, such as rep
tiles, frogs, and efts, many fishes, spi-
ders, shell-fsh and worms, also enter
into this state; while yet lower creatures,
such as infusoria and rhizopods, protect
themselves by excreting, and forming a
structureless, spheroidal coat or ''cyst. "
In preparing to hibernate, animals seek
secluded and sheltered hooks, or burrow
in the dry ground or in mud, or conceal
themselves in moss or beneath the bark
of trees. There they fall into a sleep
(either uninterrupted or interrupted by
intervals OF activity which endures
more or less according TO latitude and
consequent length of winter. During
this sleep the body-heat of warm-blooded
animals falls greatly, as respiration and
circulation take place very gently and
slowly. The nutrition of the body is
also effected very slowly, the fat of the
body generally considerable at the
commencement of hibernation) being
used up in the process, unless oc-
casional awaking has given an
opportunity for feeding. An annual
period of repose, analogous to hiberna-
ton, also takes place during the dry
season in many tropical animals-as in
many reptiles, frogs, and fishes-e. a.,
Lepidosiren. The tanree (Centetes) of
Madagascar, which has a superficial re-
semblance to the hedge hog, also resem-
bles it as to its anRual tOrpor, and GER
tain lemuroids tof the genus Cheirog-
aleus) which inhabit the same island,
seem also to prepare for the torpor of
the dry season by storing up quantity of
fat in their tails, which, it is alleged, dis
appears by the time that the period II
activity has returned. Parallel with the
periodic repOse of animals is the winter
inactivity Of very many plants which
Gn temperate latitudes such as our OWN
drop their leaves, or, If herbs, die down
10 shoot forth again with the advent Of
spring. During this time the sap re-
treats from the surface, and the process
es of life come almost TO a stand-still, to
be renewed with a rapidity and sudden
ness net inaptly termed a ''burst Of veg
etatiOn,n at a period which varies ac-
oording TO the species. The annual
torpOr of animals is a prolongation for
weeks or for months of that process, so
familiar yet so mysterious, called sleep.
During it the functions of life are slack
ened In their operations, and the re-
ireshment which sleep produces Is not
due TO any accelerated nutrition, but TO
a temporary cessation Of the wear and
tear Of activity .-St. @. Mozart, ia Con-
temporary ReCieir.
