COLLISIONS
AMONG THE STARS
THE HEAVENS DECLARE THE
GLORY OF GOD AND THE FIRMA-
MENT SHOWS HIS HANDIwORK.

EDITOR STAR: Possibly your read
ers may enjoy some fresh light upon
simple astronomical facts.
Some thirty years ago. I remember
that the astronomer Proctor demon
strated that the vast spaces between
us and the visible stars are not va
cant and void, but are filled with in
Vulnerable opaque masses. Much of
these may be small meteorites or star
dust. Many may be vast orbs which
have faded and become Opaque extinct
suns. They are far apart, the dis
tances between them averaging pro-
badly many million times their dia-
meters. Yet, altogether, they ARE
sufficiently numerous to constitute a
fog obstruCting the light of all stars
lying beyond a certain distance 1t Is
owing to this fog said Proctor that no
light can reach us from the infinite
spaces beyond the visible stars. No
telescope can penetrate space beyond
a certain distance. All is dark beyond
that curtain of Opaque star-fog
In accordance with this view of Proc
tors are the following paragraphs from
recent book Of lectures entitled "The
Earth's Beginning" by Sir Robert s.
Ball, 1901. 1t is largely an exposition
Of the condensation of the solar sys-
tenn from a Nebula on page pa the
astronomer says:
Within view of our telescopes we
have, however, a hundred million of
stars, and if We multiply that figure
even by millions, it will still, we may
well suppose, not be too large to eX-
press the number of bodies. which.
though contained within the region of
space ranged by our telescopes, are
still totally invisible. In these cir
cumStances, we may admit that occa-
sional collisions are not impossible"
Also IF we believe that these bodies
are to be reckoned in many millions
of millions, then it does sometimes hap
pen that two of them moving about in
space, will approach together sufficient
ly to give rise to a collision"
Professor Ball attributes to such a
collision of two dead suns, the lately
observed brief flaming out Of the bril-
liant Star Nova Persei," which was
probably the birth of a new nebula,
ultimately to cOndense into a bright
Sun.
We should note the fact that even
If there are a million times as many
dark stars as visible ones, yet their
average distances would be as much as
one e-hundredth of that of the visible
ones. Now the average distance of the
stars nearest to our system is about
sixty trilllons of miles, Therefore the
average distance apart of the dark
stars would be not less than sx-hun-
dred billions of miles, far enough to
make the liability of our sun colliding
with any Of them extremely small.
Another conclusion follows, that the
period of any suns extinction must be
enormously long before it is resusci-
tated by collision as compared with the
scores of millions of years that it blazes
in glory.

THE LORDS DOING

Rev. DR.. Withrow finds, says the
Springfield Republican that "the spir-
it's of angels had hand in the offer of
81 ,25O 900 from a real estate firm for
the Park-street church property at
Boston, which has been accepted by
the church corporation. Brethren
he adds, 'it is the Lords doing" The
property originally cost the society
about $4,000. In so far as the growth
of Boston, private ownership of land
and pressure of population in produc-
ing a large unearned increment, are
the Lords doing, the great profit of
this transaction may be attributed Ia
him.

THE INTELLIGENT JUROR.
One Who Had to Inquire the Meaning
of "PlaintIR" and ODE
fendanr.0

It is q common and natural practice Of
lawyers in addressing a jury. to single out
one member who seems to them the most
intelligent, and to deliver their appeals to
him. They usually feel that if they can
impress him, his influence will be valuable
in its effect upon the other members. If
they make a mistake they rarely discover
it, says the New York Sun. But the
stenographer Of one division of the supreme
eeurt tells an incident of a mistake that
was found out.
All the testimony in . case had been
taken, the lawyers for both sides had
summed up, and the judge had charged the
jury, when up rose the intelligent juror
whom both counsel had singled out as the
recipient Of their impassioned appeals. He
wanted the court to give him some in
formation.
IT have been bothered a good DEAL" said
the juror, "about two words the lawyers
use here all the time"
"What are they?" asked the court. ex-
pecting, to be called pom to expound res
inter altos acta or a ~fortiori, or some other
dead terms.
"Why, plaintiff and defendant" said
the juror. II don't just know what they
mean"

Tires.

Last week the northern part of this
state and a portion of the western
part suffered a series of the worst
prairie fires experienced in many
years. All the fires occurred when
a perfect gale blew from the south.
The grass that had not been burned
last fall was as dry as finder, and
the flames famed by a wind with a
velocity of about forty miles an hour
travelled at a terrific rate of speed.
Harvey was the scene of some ex-
citing experiences. The people were
warned of q fire approaching at the
speed of a race horse. The air was
full of smoke and cinders. Two
trains of empty box cars were Sc
cured and the inhabitants were pre-
pared to load some of their effects
and De pulled to a place of safety.
Others took the precaution to bury
their belongings. Some of the fire
breaks were effective, and the wind
veering q trife the fire swept to one
side of the town.
The greatest loss suffered was in
the destruction of haystacks, hun.
dreds of which were burned. There
was also All extensive loss in farm
buildings. Claim shanties were burn
ed by the score.
A report was brought to Minot of
the burning in a prairie fire, fifteen
miles from here, of the three-year-
dc daughter of a farmer, Benjamin
Gransadt. A terrible gale was blow
ing and the child was placed in a fire
break while her father and mother
tried to save the home. Sparks set
fire to the little girls clothes, how
ever, and she was burned beyond
hope of recovery.
