Lunar Heat.

The invisible quartz tilaments drawn
out by Mr.. c. V. Boys, of London, have
been used in the construction Of a
thermopile of such remarkable delicacy
as to render sensible the heat of u can
die at Il distance of mile and three
sourths. On properly directing the
disc of the instrument, it has been
shown that the warmth received at the
earth's surface from the reflected light
of the moon is equal to that given out
by candle twenty-one feet away. In
spite of its fourteen days of continuous
sunshine, the face of the moon appears
TO remain comparatively cool, what
heat it does receive being rapidly
gained and as rapidly lost.

About the Stars,

1t appears probable that as rule
the brighter stars are the ones near
st to us and the smallest most dis
tant. Stars OF the first to the sixth
magnitude are visible to the naked
eye, and those from the seventh to
the seventeenth magnitude are visi-
BILE with the aid OF a telescope, al
though only the great Lick telescope
Is capable of detecting the latter. 1t
is supposed that it takes 10000
years for the light from stars OF the
seventeenth magnitude to reach the
earth.
1t would take 16. 900. 900 wears tor
/ the light TO reach us from stars OF
! the thirty second magnitude. so that
| the light OF some stars, created long
| before our own sun, may not have
! had time to reach the earth. 70 see
| such stars, Il telescope would be re-
quired two thirds of II mile in diam
eter, though even one the size of the
Lick may some time reveal such dis
tant stars with the aid of photogra
! ply. The Milky Way. which can be
seen by simple opera glass to be a
swarm of stars and not a nebula,
enables us to form some idea of the
shape of the stellar universe. Its
shape is evidently like that of Il disk
or lens. Its thickness is about one
ninth as great as it's average diam
,tn Hnt h.,f l,l n I IA
OF the solar system, suggests the pcs
sibility of systematic movement.
There are two ways of determining
tlvkirection in which our own sun is
moving, one by comparing what are
called the proper motions OF tn,
other stars, and the other by observ
ing the Displacement of the spectra
lines. BY The first of the two meth
DDS it is found that there is genera
tendency among the stars to sepa
rate in the direction OF the cOnstelln
ton Hercules, and to approach on
another in the opposite direction
from which it is seen that the sun i
moving toward some point in tina
constellation. It's velocity is doubt
full, but may be about fifteen miles
second. The other method of deter
mining the suns motion has not We
been sufficiently employed to enabl
, us to arrive at general results
| though much is to be expected fror
it in tine future.
: When We come to study the motto
of the other stars, we find that Gel
: tain groups of them are moving tt
y gether, but the key to their motion
y has not yet been found.
Y There is no evidence OF the cXis
: ence of central sun for the stella
. universe, although such might exis
in n non-luminous state, or one
!. the stars which we see may be such
: body. But the probability is that
the universe is n system, it is, astr
~ nomically speaking, an aristocrat
ito rather than u monarchy.-R6
George M. Searles.
