A body weighing one pound on earth
would weigh twenty seven and half
pounds upon the sun.
The highest mountain in the moon is
at least $4,000 feet in height; that is
5000 feet higher than Mount Everest.
Vanadium is rare metal which oxi-
dies in air with great difficulty, melts
at 1000 degrees and becomes red hot in
hydrogen.
Perfectly transparent bodies are only
visible by virtue Of nonuniform illu-

they become absolutely invisible.
A transit of Venus occurs only four
times in 2S3 years. 1t is most impor-
tant to astronomers because it gives
them an opportunity Of measuring the
distance of the earth from the sun.
The sun and the earth are both prac-
tically spherical in shape, and the earth
is evidently only a small, cooled off or
frozen sun. The sun has shell Of
glowing metallic clouds; the earth has
shell of solid opaque rocks and
