and the balance OF the spectrum 10 dark.
This last, in it, varying forms, IL called
spectrum analysis, or an analysis OF the
lines shown by the varying elements.
The dark lines in the solar spectrum
may be said to be due to the entrance
into our solar system OF the lines Of the
meteoric paths. And the same may be
said Of the stellar spectra, or OF lines
belonging to them.
When there is found in the spectrum

spends to one in our solar spectrum aud
Of any known metal the wise-acres in
the science OF optics say such nsbula
contains in it's mass the same metal be-
longing to MS.
This conclusion arises on the basis
that such lines are due tn the metals.
but when We reach the subject from the
basis that the metal in both is due to
the presence Of similar forms OF meteOric
motion or energy, then an opposite con-
clusiOn arises. The two positions are
widely different. and the point may be
settled during the next eighteen GEN.
turiee.
There is a certain star called the
double double star. When We look at
this star with the eye it seems one star.
With a small telescope it is resolved
into two stars; but with powerful tele-
scope the two stars become four stars.
There is line Of light when passed
through prism Of Iceland spar becomes
two lines or spots, shown on q screen,
that shine with equal brilliancy. But
when prisms OF Iceland spar are again
placed in the two separate lines they
each show two additional lines that
chine as spots, but each unequal bril-
liancy. The lines are. however, not
further divided. The history Of man
shows that men OF science resist innOva-
tiOn as long as they can.
All progress comes from outside.
But they are forced To yield, then say
how progressive We are!
The varying meteOric paths are factors
that have marked influence, affecting the
atmosphere Of our globe and Of the sun.
Our solar system itself is moving in q
cosmical path, the motion Of which
carries the sun and it's near 400 Orbs
along, and also revolves and rotates
