SIZE OF THE SUN.

The earth on which we stand is, no
doubt mighty globe measuring as it
does 5000 miles in diameter, yet what
are it's dimensions in comparison with
those of the sun?
If the earth be represented by
grain of mustard seed, then on the
same scale the sun should be repre-
sented by a cocoanut.
Perhaps, however, more impress
sive conception of the dimensions OF
the great light of day may be OBJ
tanned in this way: Think of the moon,
the queen of the night, which circles
monthly around our heavens, pursu-
ing as she does majestic track, at
distance of 100000 miles from the
earth. Yet the sun is so vast that if
it were a hollow ball the moon could
revolve il the orbit which it now fol-
lows and still be entirely inclosed
within the suns interior.
For every acre on the surface OF
our globe there are more than 10000
acres on the surface of the great
luminary.
Every portion of this illimitable
desert of flame is pouring forth tor
rents of heat 1t has, indeed, been
estimated that if the heat which is in
cessantly flowing through any single
square foot of the suns exterior could
be collected and supplied beneath the
boilers of an Atlantic liner, it would
suffice to produce steam enough to
sustain in continuous movement those
engines of 10000 horsepower which
enable a superb ship to break the
record between Ireland and America.
