NFw York. Aug. 1.-THE stock
market to-day was entirely at the
mercy OF the bear operators. who have
apparently organized for a vigorous
campaign. and as no support was
given they had little trouble in de-
pressing prices. All stocks on the
active list sustained losses during the
day, but they were limited to fractions
generally, and the volume OF trading
was so light that the decline was not
considered a. significant OF decided
change from the upward movement
that has been in progress since July g.

The distance of the star Alpha Centanrs
may be stated in round numbers to he
2O,OOO, 100000, 900 of miles. Now. a bill.
hon means million of millions. SO that
the distance of Alpha Centauri NAV be
stated to be twenty millions of millions OF
miles. Let us now try to form some con.
ception, however imperfect, of the amazing
distance. Let us suppose a railway train
10 leave the earth travelling dav and night
at the rate Of fifty miles an hour without
stoppages. In six months it would reach
the moon, in 200 years it would reach the
sun and in 5000 years IL would reach the
planet Neptune, the orbit of which forms
the extreme known limit Of the planetary
system The same train, however, would
not reach the star Alpha Centauri in less
than $4,000, 900 years.
One more illustration NAV be nsefnl
comets, in general revOlve in very eccen
trlc orbits, When q comet is in the peri-
hellOn or It's orbit 1t is comparatively near
10 the earth; on the other hand. when If
Is at the apheliOn it is remOte-in MANY
instances very remOte-frOm the earth
FOR instance, the celebrated comet of 1858
known as Donati's comet, one of the
greatest comets Of modern times. at the
Illne OF It's passage Of the perihelion was
distant from the sun 80, 900, 600 miles; but
when 1t has attained the aphelion of its
ORBIT (which will occur in about /, 900 years
hereatter) its distance from the earth will
not be less than 30, 900, 900, 900 miles Now
our typical railway train starting from the
earth would rot reach the aphelion of the
orbit OF Qonati's comet in less than CO.
wv years, and yet the aphelon distance
OF Donati's comet is only one seven-hun-
dredth part OF the distance from the earth
70 Alpha Centauri, the nearest of the fixed
stars.-GOod Words.
