the extracted gold with some haser
metal, taking care To preserve the exact

of an established apartment. Strange
doings went on in those medieval
kitchens. Butchers slaughtered ami
mails there, which were skinned and
dressed as wen as cooked in the kitch-
en-. The family blacksmith kept his
fire there and repaired tine plows and
wheels of the estate. Coal began TO be
used as Il kitchen fuel in 12i5, though
not generally for 200 years after. The
oven did not come into use until the
year HOO, and then 1t was the old
fashioned brick oven. which persisted
for hundreds of years. The stove,
when invented, took the place of the

Miles Are Too insignificant to he

While it is interesting to know the
distance of some of the stars in miles,
when stated in that way the numbers
are so large that they frequently con
vey very indistinct conceptions to the
mind For this reason it Is customary
to estimate stars distances ia light
years" \ light year is the distance
that light, moving at the rate of 1S6, 300
miles per second, travels in one year
This amounts in round numbers to
6.SS0,000 100000 miles. The distance
Of Alpha Centaur Is 49, light years.

exactly twice as great, or SO light

Sc years 10 come to us from Sirius.
And these are among the very nearest
Of the stars. Some whose paralaxeS

Its distance must In that case be about
Isl light years, or more than II thou
SAM million million miles. And If its
distare IS SO great, then since light
varies myersely as the square of the
distance from its source, 1t can be
shown that Arcturus must actually
give forth 1000 or 6,000 times as much
light as the sun yields.
Yet Aretnrus is evidently much near
er than the vast majority of the stars
are. Not one in a million is known to
have Il parallax large enough even to
be intelligently guessed at. There may
be stars whose light requires thousands
instead of hundreds of years to cross
the space separating them from us.
