It Is possible that we may look at and admire a brightly glittering star that Is no more and that was plotted out of existence may years ago.
 We often hear. the expression. the appropriate expression when we take the telescopic stars into account-that is. those that are visible only through a telescope. The most of our readers know that the stars have been divided into classes according to their magnitude. the word magnitude' not being applied te the actual size of the stars, of which We know comparatively. little. but to their Okla.
 Only stars cf the first six magnitudes are visible to the naked eye of average keenness. While there are but twenty stars of the first magnitude and about the sixth. and altogether about 5000 of all six magnitudes. therefore of all wis., ible to the unaided eye. These numbers increase rapidly when we count stars of magnitudes lower than the sixth. |
 Looking through telescopes of great power, the number of stars becoming vis- ible is dazzling. In the constellation of Gemini the naked eye can see but six, but looking through a refractor of six the Pleiades, the most important and interesting of all naked eye clusters. six stars are visibl, to the ordinary eye. while eyes, a little better see easily five more. A mere opera glass increases the number to nearly 100.
 The number of stars in the heavens Is enrmously increased by looking through such noble instruments as the Lick and Yerkes. According to the celebrated Struve, the total number of stars visible in the entire heavens by the. aid of Sir W. Herschers twenty-foot reflector IS more than 2o0e0, 900. Without doubt the approximation Is much below the real number. The Milky Way, according to Eerschel contains 1S 00o 900.

Still even the greatest of htese resaerch- CTS of the mysteries of the universe have been forced to admit that as to a limit or end of the universe. they are as far away as ever. and they feel that they can never get nearer to 1t than the con- sciousness of an inscrutable power, mani fested to us through all phenomena. which the English philosopher considers to be the logical and the utmost outcome of the most far-reaching human wisdom of the well nigh immeasurable distances of the stars 1t cannot but endanger d strange sensation that when he gaZes on bright Sirius he sees 1t not where and as he is at that moment. but where and as he was nine years ago.

Christian Science as method OF
medicine Is a natural reaction
against the materiallsm OF medlcal
science, For nearly half a century the
pulpit has been emphasizing the love
OF God. and saying little about His
righteousness; the apotheosls Of hui
manity which American democracy
borrowed from Rousseau the American
pulpit has caught from democracy; in
It's reaction against the legalism Of the
older Puritanism II has been compare
lively silent about the laws Of God and
the reality and terrlbleness Of the spirit
OF lawlessness. Christian Science offers
a further opiate to public conscience
which needs not TO be lulled to sleep
but aroused to action. The remedy for
Christian Science is not In a direct at,
tack. but in portraying the reality and
terriblenes Of sin in society and in
the individual, in summonlng the soul
TO successful battle against IL, and,
by a rational doctrine of the divine
presence, inspiring a stronger more
reasonable, and more spiritual hope OF
redemption than Christian Science can
ever inspire by calling on us to shut
our eyes to the facts OF life while It
cries out concerning sin: II is naught,
II Is naught.
