pear.
The number OF stars, according to
Prof. Innes, is limited, falling far
short Of the number OF people on the
earth He estimates the mass Of the
universe as equal to 441,000 times the
mass OF the sun. That is to say. the
combined mass OF all the globes, big
and little. in the universe is as heavy
as 441 900 suns. or stars 100 times as
massive as the sun there are 300; OF
stars ten times as massive as the
sun there are 5000; OF stars equal
in mass to the sun there are 100000;
and OF stars smaller than the sun
there are 100000, 100000 Of which
are one-tenth the mass OF the sun, g.
100000 are one one-hundredth of the
suns mass, and 100000 are one one
thousandth OF the suns mass. There
are besides small stars in scattered
clusters, equal in the aggregate to l.
600 times the suns mass.
II is probable that a majority Of the
stars, he adds, have a greater sur
face brilliancy than the sun. Thus, as
In tho solar system, nearly all the
mass is contained in a few bodies, the
large majority contributing but slight
ly to the total. The stars are well
mixed as to sizes, small stars occur
ring where there are large ones and
large stars being found where small
stars are numerous.
Prof. Innes' other conclusions are
that there is no serious absorption Of
light in space, that it is improved that
the sun and stars radiate into empty
space, and that the existence of dark"
suns Is quite without demonstration,
not one being certainly known.
