Light From the Stars.

1t has been found by photometric ex-
perments on the light emitted by the
stars of d ifcrcnt orders of magnitude
that the light of stars of the sixth mag
njtude amounts to only one-hundredth
part of the light of Il star OF the first
magnitude. Hence we conclude (al-
ways supposing the stars to be equal
magnitude and splendor) that star of
the sixth magnitude is ten times more
remote than a star of the first magni-
tuIe. Now, the br ght star of Alpha
Centauri may be considered as typical
of star of the first magnitude. Com
bin;ng our knowledge of the relative
distances of Alpha Centauri and the
star OF the sixth magnitue with the con-
illusions above arrived at, it follows that
if Alpha Centauri were transported to
$50 times its actual distance it would
still be visible in Herscher S TWEEN ty foot
reflector, and consequently there might
be pcrceptible in such an instrument a
star the distance of which is $50 times
greater than the actual distance of Al
pha Centaurj. Now, the absolute dis
lance of Alpha Centauri from the earth
as asccrtained by the researches Of
various astronomers, may be stated in
round numbers to be 10000, 600, 900 OF
miles. Hence we arrive at the aston.
ishing conclusion that the distance OF
the stars which are family visible in a
twenty-foot rejecting telescope, such
as Herschel employed in his observa-
tong. is not less than 100000, 600 OF
miles. Light, which traverses space
with a velocity equal TO 1860 miles
in second, would therefore occupy
mere than 1000 years in passing from
such star to the earth. Well might
Herschel remark that the visibility of 9
star in the present day is proof-not OF
its actual ex stence. but rather of its
having existed for hundreds, it may be
thousands of years ago. Good Words.
