TIE DOG STAR.-Itis difficult to conceive
II at the beautiful dog s;ar is globe much
larger than our SUP, yet it is fact that Sir
ius is 6 sun many times more mighty than
our own. This splendid star, which, even
in cur most powerful telescopes, appea,s IS

Sirius shining with far greater lpsteS than
any other star, i6 was natural that a6trono-
mers should have regarded this 80 being the
nearest Of all tbs liked" stars; but recent
investigation on the distances Of tho stars
bas shown that tho nearest TO Us Is Alpha
Centaur, O star belonging to the southern
latitude, though it is probable that Sirius is
about fourth on the at In the oEG3r OF dis
tance. For, though there are about fifteen
or twenty stars whose distances havo been
coriectu7ed, Tho astronomer knows that in
reality all Of them, save three or four, lie at
distances too great to be measured by auy
instruments we have at present.
Astronomers agree 10 fixing the distance
of the nearest fixed star OF $4,000, 900 .000 900
miles, and it Is certsin that the distance of
Sirius is more than three and lees than six
times that of Alpha Centaur, most likely
about FIVE times, 50 that VS. ere not proba-
bly, not far from the truth if we set the dis
tance OF Sirius at about 100000. 600 ,OO0. 900
miles. What vast distance is this that
separates Us from that star! Words and fig
ures themselves fail to convey to our minds
any adequate idea of its true character.
To take common example of illustrating
such enormous distances: It is calculated
that the ball from an Armstrong 100.pound-
er quits the gun with the speed of about
four hundred yards per second. Now. if
this velocity could be kept up 1t would re-
quire no fewer than 100 900 600 years before
the ball could reach Sirius.

A Trim Among the Clouds

The two Austrian officers who or Friday
night made the remarkable nronantic voy-
age ia the military balloon Radetzky, from
the Vienna Prater to the Bruczkow, in the
Russian province of Posen, a distance OF
about three hundred and fifty miles. the
Pail Mall Gazette says, returned to Vienna
on Tuesday.
The account they give of the voyage ia
highly Interesting They left the Prater at
nne in the evening, furnished with all the
uecesasries for such trip, including en-
electric glow lamp, to enable them to read
,ba meteorological instruments. At first
they rcss slowly, having magnificent view
of Vienna and the neighborhood lighted up
for the evening Soon afterwards they en-
countered storm-cloud region, and were
borne on By strong wind in an eastward
| direction until 11:30. The horizon was
dark, not g star being Visible. They we're
surrounded by dense clouds, and extreme
cold prevailed.
Wher they had reached height of 5000
feet rain began to !all heavily, and this
lasted for an hour and a-quarer. The cold
and dampness condensed the gas in the
balloon, and they began rapidly to sink.
They threw out ballast, and Eose again to
height of nearly 000 feet, at tie rate of
100 feet second While rising they heard
nothing but the dsafsnng rush of the air.
At last the rain ceased, and the moisture
began new to steam out Of the balloon.
Thus lighteoed they began rspidlv to
mount, and attained height Of over 5000
feet. When rnorning dawned they found
themselves over the province oi Siiesie.
At six o'clock they had reached height
of 9 400 netreu or IL 900 feet. At this time
there wsre floating above and beneath them
dense clouds. At this height thei, voices
became 90 hoaIss that they we're iDaudible
to each other, and breathing itsslf became
difficult. After this they attained their
ereateet oltiSude, about 4 600 metres, or 49,

sgnt OF the sea, and beyond it IL the dis
tance tboy could perceive what they con-
ciuded 10 be the southern coast Of Sweden
and the intervening islands, Rugen and
Bornholm.
at 7:30 they resolved to descend. In fii-
teen minutes they sank from 1000 to LOO
metres. always 10 the CLOUDS Indeed, the
cloud stratum through which they passed
was 600 metres 10 depth. Owing to the
rapid descent. they breathed aud heard with
ticulty. As they descended they per

rowing In different direction from that
! above the thiok cloud stratuu1. OF this
logar wind they took advantage to return
inland. at leDgth they touched the ground
