Stellar Distances That Stun tho Mind
and Battle Comprehension.

London Daily Telegraph.
Sir Robert Rall, at the Royal Institution
on saturday afternoon, delivered the last
of his lectures un astronomy. He took for
his subject The stars" those orbs which,
though appearing so small 10 MS, because
of their immense distance, are, i'll reality,
great and shining suns. If, he said, we
were to escape from the earth into space,
the moon, Jupiter, Saturn, aud eventually
the sun would become invisible; but far
as we arc from the stars, they still shine
brightly to us Many of these stars are
heavier than our sun. For example, Mizar,
the middle star in the tail of the Great
Bear, is 10 times as heavy ms the sun. To
the naked eye there are 5000 or 5000 of
these heavenly bodies visible. In all proba-
bility there are worlds revolving around
them,
Sixty-oue Cygni is the nearest star to us
in this part of the sky. Alpha Centauri,
IN the constellation Ccntaur in the south
crn hemisphere, is the nearest of all the
stars. The sun is a long way off, 03000,0O0
miles. Now multiply this by 20, 600 and
the result is, roughly speaking, 20,0O0,000,-
100000, and this is the distance we are
from Alpha Centauri Take the speed of
an electric current which is nearly the
same as that of light, 10000 miles per

this speed from point on the earth's
surface it would go seven times around
the earth in one second. Again. let it be
supposed that messages were sent off 70
the different heavenly bodies.
To reach the moon at this rate it would
take about one second. In eight minutes
message would yet TO the sun, and, allow
ing for couple of minutes delay, one
could send message to the sun and get an
answer all within 70 minutes. But TO reach
Alpha Centauri it would take three years,
and, as this is the nearest of the stars, what
time must i take to get to the Others? If,

remote that it would not yet have reached
them, TO go step further, if in 1906 the

some Of these stars, the message would still
be ON its way. II the tidings of the first
