1ouspAnrrs OF THE UNIVERSE.

Irof. Newcomb's announcement in
the Mining and Scientific Press. San
francisco. that there is strong evil
derce to support the supposition that
moiern telescopes have actually
brought the utmost boundaries of our
part Of the universe to view is, to say
the least, startling. The probability
is, he declares, that the small stars
recently discovered look small. not on
ly because of their vast distance from
us but because of their inferior size.
There is no more beyond. They are
the uttermost worlds in the large sys-
ten Of which our earth is only n small
pat.
The general outline of this universe
--r.ing the word in n limited sense-is
known. 1t encloses an enormous disc
in which our solar system is not far
from the center. This disc has a
diameter four or five times Its thiclA
ness but the length is only a matter
of conjecture because the distance to
may stars has not been measured.
The distance from one side of the uni
vefse TO the other is given as from
1000 to 10000 light years, that is to
say 1t Is as many miles as n ray of
light can travel in from twenty to
thirty thousand years at a
rate of 10000 miles sec
ond Some idea of the immense
length of this road may be formed
from the statement that the diameter
of the earth's orbit, 9O,OOO,0OO miles,
would from one of the most distant
stars appear so small that the most
delicate appliances would fail to
measure 1t.
There is probably not more over
whelmlns proof of the incalculable
power and the inscrutable wisdom OF
the Designer and Constructor of this
world, than that furnished by astron-
ony. Among its devotees have al
ways been found the greatest expon-
ents Of that faith which is the opposite
of agnosticism both in It's ancient and
modern forms.

A GOOD WORD FOR ISLAM.

Father Hyacinthe, or Charles 10y
years ago because of his glowing elo-
qutnce and liberal views, the latter
finally causing him to be suspected of
serious heresy. He was first censured
by. the Catholic press for acknowl-
edsing the existence of "three great
religions of civilized people" the jew
isf, the Catholic and the Protestant,
and later for fraternizing with various
sects in the United States and Great
Britain. Finally he was released from
his monastie VOWS and made 'secu-
lar priest" with the title OF able.
Il appears that MIR. Loyson's wife is
not less liberal in her views, nor less
courageous in expressing them. than
hef celebrated husband. During "A
twp years sojourn among Mohamme-
dars in north Africa, Palestine and
syria, she mingled with the natives
and made their modes Of life q special

given to the Westminster Gazette. The
lady takes a decidedly favorable view
anu pronounces many of the ideas
prevalent among Christians to be
preiudlces The fact deserves notice
in the Interest of fairness and truth.
Nine Loyson does not Justify the
nassacres, the siclgening details or

the world. but she maintains that not

while there are so many graduates in

persons of that class obtain positions,
and so many transionts should hnd

SO much for local question which
is said to need clearing by those who
can do 1t, pro bono publico.
Every true American Is in full sym
pathy with the struggles of mankind
for enlarged liberty everywhere. This
nation rose from the original status of
rebellion to that OF its present glory,
but how few realize how short the
step is between patriotism and trea-
son! A wise man remarked that. sue
cess made all the difference between
the two. How far the "Cubans' VIII

At this time of the year a cold is very
easily contracted, and II left TO run its
course without the aid of some reliable

n,.s,lon SO far from yielding to this
pressure, he replied with counter an
atbamas. and the case was brought
hefore a stormy council which con-
demned the Constantinople patriarch
ami his doctrines. u decision which the
c,noeror was induced to confirm. Nes-
torius was banished to Arabia and
Iatcr to Egypt. His followers soon be-
cane extinct in the Roman empire,
but those in the east found protection
under the rulers of Persia, and it is be-
,,eved that they at one time spread
from there into India. Arabia and even
to China.
The present movement of the rem
nant Of this once powerful sect is
chiefly important for its political sig
nincarce. The Russian emissaries
who conducted the negotiations have
promised the people the protection of
the government at ST. Petersburg, on
condition that they. purge their creed
from the peculiar doctrine of Nestor-
iansm and add to their liturgy n
prayer for the car. In other respects
they are to be allowed to retain their
own service-books, hierarchy and GUS
toms. The Russians further promise
to provide schools and defend the
settlements against the Turks, Kurds
| and Persians. The terms are said to
have been accepted, and If they are
| ratfed by the holy synod of Russia,
thet country has obtained q protec-
torite over an important territory as
wei as healed a breach of long stand
| ing in the oriental church.

RUSSIANS MAKE CONVERTS.

One Of the most remarkable exam
pies in history Of the restoration OF
long broken ecclesiastical unity comes
from Asia in a report to the effect
that 10000 Assyrian Christians have
concluded to join the Russian church.
English missionaries have been at
work for years among these people,
who for centuries have suffered untold
prosecutions in the same way as the
Armenlans. 1t seems that the result
now is that they have decided to modi-
fy their peculiar views sufficiently to
obtain standing. not In the Anglican
but in the Greek orthodox church--a
result scarcely anticipated by those
who spent large sums on the mission in
eastern Syria.
This Christian community is known
Ms HISTORIANS. They are living part
~ on Turkish and partly on Persian
territory and have maintained indie
pendence to limited extent notwitl-
Standing continual efforts to subdue
them. They are described as an ig-
norant race led by an equally ignorant
clergy, but devoutly attached to their
creed and their places of worship. They
are governed, at least in the mountain
regions, by village chiefs who bear the
ute Of 'melik" king, and seem in
'nls to have perpetuatsd the form OF
government common in the east at the
time Of Abraham. The most inHuen-

Captain Johansen, Nansen's com
panion during the famous walk over the
ice, says one of their amusements In
the hut during the long, dark winter
months was to lay plans for an expedi-
ton to the South Pole. And this be-
fore they had any but the very faint
est chances of ever reaching civiliza-
ton! Nansens plan was to build an
other ship and in company with
scientists try how far south he could
go. The Fran, this was the plan,
should be steered into the ice and be
allowed to freeze in and then the ex-
petition on sledges should start. The
other ship should proceed along the
edge of the ice and make scien-
tific observations. Every detail was
thought out in that lonely hut. Mr.
Johansen says they had to do some
thing; they had no books, and they
could not always be running around
the hut in the dark, as they had to dc
part of the time in order not to freeze
| to death.
