YAsInEss OF the UNIVERSE.

1t Is certainly true that contem-
plation of the unthinkable vastness
of the universe, in the midst of
which we dwell upon speck illumi-
mated by a spark, is calculated to
make all terrestrial affairs appear
contemptibly insignificant. We can
not wonder that men for ages re-
garded the earth as the center, and
the heavens with their lights as tri-
butary to it, for to have thought
otherwise, in those times, would
have heen to see things from the
point of view of a superior intelli-
gence. 1t has taken vast amount
of experience and knowledge to
convince men of the parvitude of
themselves and their belongings.
So, in all ages they have applied o
terrestrial measure to the universe,
and imagined they could behold hui
man affairs reflected in the heavens
and human interests setting the gods
together by the ears.
This is clearly shown in the story
of the consultations. The tremen-
dous truth that starry night we
look, in every direction, into an al
most endless vista of suns beyond
suns and systems upon systems, was
too overwhelming for comprehension
by the inventors of the constella-
tions. So they amused themselves,
like imaginative children, as they
were, by tracing the outlines of men
and beasts formed by those pretty
lights, the stars. They turned the
starry heavens into scroll filled
with pictured stories of mythology.
