THE SUN AND THE STARS.

Astronomy Claims That tho Two Bodies
Are About tho Same.
The sun Is star and the stars are
suns. This fact has been familiar
one to astronomers for many years.
That the stars shine by their own in
herent light, and not by lights re-
Elected from another body, like the
planets of the solar system, may be-
easily proved. That many Of them
at least are very similar to our own
sun is clearly shown by several
considerations.
Three facts prove this conclusively.
First, their great intrinsic brilliancy
compared with their small apparent
diameter. diameter SO small that
the highest powers Of tho largest tel
Escapes fail to show them as anything
but mere points Of light without
measurable magnitude. Second, their
vast distance from the earth, dis
lance so great that the diameter of
the earth's orbit dwindles almost to a
point in comparison. This accounts
satisfactorily for the first fact. Third,
the spectroscope-that unerring in
strument of modern research-shows
that the light emitted by many Of
them is very similar to that radiated
by the sun.
Their chemical and physical consti-
tuition is, therefore, probably analo-
gous to that Of our central luminary.
The red stars certainly show spectra
differing considerably from the solar
spectrum, but these objects are com,
paratively rare, and may, perhaps, DO
considered as forming exceptions to
the general rule.

you step in you feel as though some
