LIMITS OF THE UNIVERSE.

The announcement that the limits OF

man vision is startling. Professor New
comb. recognized as one of the great

is accommodating which points to prob
ability that the small stars which our
powerful modern telescopes have
brought into view do not look small be-
cause they are farther away, but by
reason of their inferior size. There are
no more beyond. In other words, We
are actually able to see the boundaries

shape of an enormous disk, the solar
system being not far from the center.
We may say that this disk. so incon-
ceiVably huge. has a diameter four or
five times Its thickness. AS to the lengtm
of the diameter We cannot speak with
great accuracy because we are not ac-
quainted with the precise distances OF
many Of the stars. Fifty years hence
NE shall know a great deal more ON thas
subject than We do ar present.
We may say that the distance across
the disk. from one side of the universe
to the other. is 20, 900 or maybe $4,000
light years. There Is a wide margin oc
