Our EI;ob+ Throuoh Snace.

Vega is the star toward which our
sun is ceaselessly rushing through tho
infinite regions of space, carrying the
earth and all of the other planets with
him. Though we are pursuing this
journey at the speed of eleven miles
a second, so that at the end of each
day we are almost 100000 miles near
err the star than we were at the be-
ginning, yet at least 100000 years
will elapse before we overtake and
drift past this great sun. Were the
life Of man on earth not so short, how
wonderfully would he see the face OF
the heavens change as he passed
through our universe Of stars. The
Great Dipper, the Northern Cross and
even the Milky Way itself would APP
pear to take new forms as he passed
on and viewed them from a different
direction, and as he drew near the
blue star Vega, sun enormously
larger and hotter than our own, it
would shine out with extraordinary
brilliancy.

1T seems TO me that a reunion Of
the descendants OF the slgners Of the
Declaration Of Independence on or
about the date when this immortal
document was signed would be a most
impressive incident in connection
with the jamestown Exposition
Such reunion should certainly have
tendency 10 st7muD'te patriotic
sentiment and arouse among those
who are within its influence a better
appreciation Of the initial efforts Of
the Fathers of the Republic to estab-
lish new nation, and impress upon
it the best ideals of free govern
