STARS AND PLANETS.
Read This and Then Ponder on the Awful
Immensely of Space.

-----~--@---
Some rcoplc find Il curious difficulty in
mentally distinguishing between stars and
planets Again and again they hear that
st;ns are suns ard that planets are worlds;
that IL sun is not II world and that planet
is not u star, and their confusion of mind
on the subject remains untouched. Yet
the distinction is not really difficult to
grasp, and to see it clearly is quite essen
tiul to any understanding of the heavens.
Our sun is IA star, brother to all these
twinkling Points which lie scattered over
the night sky Our world is not star,
but planet, sister to the few shining but
nontwinkling bright bodies which appear
TO wander slowly among the stars. The
llancts bclonR to our solar systcm--all of
them, without exception, that We are able
to see. Other planets belonging to other
stars may und doubtless do exist in count
less millions through the universe, but va
have no lower to detect their presence.
They, like the planets which belong to our
sun, shine by the reflected brightness OF
their particular star, >loe by their own In
trinsh radiance, and so they cannot he
