than spring pigs, more live and do well,
and the results are not so lar apart

SuNBEAMS.

TIE earth receives only one two-bil-

THE suns average distance from the
earth is nearly 93, 900, 900 miles. At ono
period of the year the earth is S,OOO,O 900
miles farther from the sun than at an
other.
THE light of the sun is equal to
5,563 wax candles, held at the distance
of one foot from the eye. 1t would re-
quire COO, 900 full moons to produce a
day as brilliant as one of eloudless sun
shine.
WERE the suns attractive force upon
the earth replaced by the largest steel
telegraph wire, it would require nine
wires for each square inch of the sun
ward side of the globe to hold the
earth in its orbit.
THE diameter of the sun is about
SOC, 900 miles. A mountain upon the
surface of the sun, to bear the same
proportion to the globe itself as the
loftiest peak ON earth, would need to
be about COO, 900 miles high.
THE amount of heat we receive an
nually from the sun is sufficient to
melt layer of ice ITO feet thick, ex'
tending over the whole earth. The
sunbeam, however, is only 1900, ,OO0th
