ON ASTRONOMY.
Interesting Address Of Prof. Win
ston Before Albemarle Club.

Professor Charles H. Winston. OF the
Richmond College chair OF physics. by
Invitation OF the Albemarle Club last
night gave a lecture before that body on
astronomy. illustrating 1t with the aid Of
the blackboard and charts showing the
relative sizes of the planets. Naturally.
in a brief discussion OF so large a SCI
once. the speaker could not attempt any
elaborate or exhaustive review Of his
theme. Instead he discussed the solar
system and the relation of the sun and
the planets constituting It. The relative
location of the planets, tho distances Of
these bodies from the sun and from each
other and the inconceivable distances OF
the fixed stars were impressed upon his
hearers A clearer idea of the relative
dimensions of the planets and the sun
could hardly have been given. The Inn
mensity of space and the limitless dis
tances in the solar system were reduced
to scale which enabled the audience to
form conception OF the smallness Of the
earth, of State and city and of an
Individual, relatively, which was we'll cal
culated to take the conceit out Of any
man.
The address was followed closely by an
Intelligent and appreciative audience, and
many present manifested their interest in
the theme by asking questions as to va
rious phases of the subject, the location of
the planets In the heavens and how to
find them.

OF the court In the case OF Comptroller
