Astronomical Facts,

The diameter Of the sun Is reckoned

of course. The whole solar system

know about the matter assure us that,
owing to certain causes, too numerous
and complicated TO be dealt with In
this place, the planet on which we live
receives only the 2,2J0-millionth part

academician with picture called THE

curious and interesting story attaches
to this picture.
When 1t was nearly finished Edwin
Landseer was asked by Charles to come

was very good picture. but "how nice
spaniel would look In that corner"
Charles said, will you put II. in,
then?" at which the master took up
the brush and at once painted in fine
old English spaniel with some leather
dispatch bags lying on the ground BY
him.
The picture was duly exhibited and
admired, the spaniel especially, but
The dealer who bought 1t, being a SIM
pie man Of business, bethought him
that Sir Edwin's dog would be worth
more than the whole picture. SO he
cooly cut 1t out and sold 1t, filling the
place by common dog copied from 1t.
Several years afterward the owner or
the picture showed Sir Edwin, with
