ness. tell story of a great vestibuied
train passing swiftly through the night
though the cars themselves are engulfed
in shadow, so the luminous point of light
in the starry heavens indicates to us the
existence of myriads of other suns and
worlds in the universe far beyond the
boundaries of our own solar system.
Our knowledge of these distant suns is
steadily increasing. Thanks to modern
instruments. it Is possible to compute
the distance to more aud more of the
stars: their distribution in space, too.

Photography during the past few years,

The most exact instrument ever invent

such an enormous amount of work that
our progress would be slow indeed. and
we could not hope to do more than skim
over the surface of the great problems
of the universe. had not photography
come TO our aid. Where the moderate
telescope brings to our view multitudes
of stars beyond the range of our own
vision the great observatories show
countless other multitudes further still
in space. Myfiads o. others, which the
most powerful lens yet known has failed

the aid of the flash determine the ex-
