SPLEND0Rs OF SPACE.
Matehless Beauty of the Milky Way az
Seen In a Telescope.

"a1SnlSSS Deauty OF InS milNy way "a
Seen In a Telescope.
The Milky way, or galaxy, is an ap-
parent ring extending entirely around
the universe of stars visible in the
largest telescope. 1t is composed OF
suns in literal millions. They are so
remote that, as seen from the earth,
they appear to be close to each other
while really they are separated by
millions and billions of miles. To the
eye the belt of soft light looks like
continuous band of cloth of pearl, but
telescopes have the effect of bringing
objects nearer. This separates the
flmy cloud into many millions of gilt
tering but minute points on the black
background of space. At a distance
forest trees seem to be close together,
but as they are approached they sep
Rrate and stand alone.
1t is next to impossible to describe
the matchless beauty of the Milky
way rs seen in a telescope of great
/ power. Carpet a large room with
/ black velvet. Hang many electric
/ lights in the ceiling. Throw down and
scatter all over the black floor a bushel
| of minute diamonds, rubies. pearls.
/ saphires. opals, amethysts and other
/ gems. Then turn on the light.
You would have faint imitation of
the supernal gories of the galactic
hosts. For the appalling depths Of
space look black in our great tele-
scopes In places these suns look by
perspective as though they were ar
ranged in piles, heaps and banks or
built up into colossal windows, or
twisted into spirals, or dashed into
wisps and cosmic spray. In some
places the concentration is so great
and dense that only the most power
full telescopes on earth can magnify
enough to bring out details. few
clusters exist that have not so far
been resolved into these needle points.
/ And the height Of human happiness
Is to watch these vast congeries OF
distant suns in q huge telescope

Magazine.

TURNED INTO STONE.
Petrified Objects Are Common In Re-
gions Where Limestone Prevails.

returned OpJectS ARE common IN ne
eions Where Limestone Prevails.
Petrified objects are found in a great
many sections of the world. most of
them in sections where limestone is
prevalent
Petrifed wood is quite common. Bits
of wood. pieces of bark and small
twigs are the more common. but in
some places whole logs are found. and
these are so we'll petri6ed as to show
the bark as perfect as when the tree
was growing. Different kinds of wood
petrify.' 1t depends more on the
amount of lime than on the quality of
timber.
In Arizona whole trees are petrified
and, in fact, whole forests have been
turned into stone, and some wonderful
specimens are to be found there. The
petrifed trees are sometimes cut up
and converted into various articles of
value.
Petrified moss is found in many
places. 1t is very beautiful. Petrified
grasses. leaves of trees and petrifed
nuts and fruits have been discovered
in some places. Petrifed reptiles and
small animals have also been found.
CObS from which the grains of corn
have been removed make rather curl
Gus petrifications. One of the most GU
rious found is that of piece of honey
comb turned into solid stone, but
showing every honey cell perfectly
shaped and equally distributed just as
the honey bees had built it. If the
/ comb had contained honey the water
/ had dissolved that, for the cells were
/ empty.
+ Petrifed human remains are not I'M
/ common. In some OF the cemeteries in
sections where limestone prevails in
abundance bodies have been lifted to
move them to other cemeteries. and
they were found to be turned to stone
