Time and Sneed.

Infinite time Is difficult to grasp.
Distance is more easily understood,
and some things which Sir Robert
Ball has to say about the distance oil
the stars from us will assist us in com.
pairing them to the sun. or these tho
most striking Is Arcturus, and DR.. FL
kin has put this star at such distance
from the solar system that the orbit
of the earth round the sun must seem
from Arcturus as large us a penny piece
would, seen at hundred miles. Arc,
turus, in other words, Is perhaps a
dozen times as far off from us as Pro-
cyon is, and Procyon. one of the near
est bright stars, is a million times
the distance of the sun from us.
But the marvellous thing about Arc
turus is its movement, very distinct
proper motion" across the sky, though
not as large as some stars. Lately.
however, the spectroscope has ascer-
tanned for us the pace Of stars along
the lire Of sight, and Arcturus travels,
1t is now believed, at the rate Of $50
miles second. Such speed as this is
truly terrific, and we may well ask
where this furious star is hurrying to.
AS Arcturus, ten generations hence,
will not have moved to the eye by as
much as the diameter of the moon, we
shall have plenty of opportunity of
discussing the question.-The Spec
tator.

1t was impossible to open all the roots,

examination of the three barrels show

seller respectable profit on his work.

When the house is too cold we in
crease the draught of air in the furnace,
burn fuel faster and get more heat.
We can do something similar to warm
UP the body when out In the cold. A
few deep breaths held longer than us
nal, pass more oxygen into the blood,
thus stimulating the tissue changes
that produce bodily warmth. and this
method also drives the blood more
quickly and extensively through the
chilled capillaries of the skin, and diff.
fuses warmth with sense of exhilara-
ton. Put that OH your list of good facts
worth knowing.
