GREAT STAR DISTANCES.
Success That Has Crowned Patient La

The methods Of finding the distances OF
the stars, or stellar parGllax, is one of the
interesting problems of msdern astronomy.

us. The suu, which is only star, is NOV
Jog With all Ioe piaoets in his train. Our
eaith, which 's but az asou amorg atoms,
is wbirliug, no one knows sbitber, through
Illimi' able space. Eveo he serene heaven
