Nothing Beyond the Milky Way but Empty Space

The so-called "hellum stars" the
johannesburg astronomer AYERS, are
the most distant of all stars from the
earth. The helium stars are peculiar
to the Milky Way.
Is there anything outside the uni
verse? On this point Prof. lnnes does
not venture positive opinion, but he
says that the most powerful tele-
scopes penetrate far into space, be-
yond the boundaries OF the universe
revealing nothing. In particular, he
says, there is absolutely no sign OF
other universe of similarly constituted
systems.
He looked out beyond the universe
the air in South Africa is very clear
but his telescope discovered in those
far-away clouds called "nebuiae,
which some astronomers suppose to
be star-systems in process of forma-
ton. Many of these nebulae are spir'
al-looking, and the conjecture is that
they are whirling around and around.
condensing themselves into solid
globes, on which life may later ap-
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 1000 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 AL 900 suns. OF stars 100 times as
massive as the sun there are 800; 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.

EKY ASHINGTON.-The boundaries of
w the universe have been discov-
cred, according to report received
at the National Observatory from
Prof. r. 7. A. lines, director of the
Union Observatory at johannesburg,
South Africa. The announcement is
regarded with interest by astronom-
ers all over the world.
The universe, Prof. Innes asserts, is
contained within the space girdled by
the Milky Way, and he figures that
the most distant star in that wonder
full girdle is $40 light years distant
from the earth. Inasmuch as the
planetary system, of which the earth
is member, is commonly supposed
by astronomers to be close to the CEN
tiers of the arena embraced within the
Milky Way, and inasmuch as light
travels 10000 miles a second, or
over five and three-quarters quadril-
lion miles a year, the diameter of the
universe, by Prof. Innes's calculation
is 1884 1851, 100000 miles. This is the
distance light would travel in 1850
years. A ray of light takes sixteen
minutes and thirty-six seconds to
traverse the diameter Of the earth's
orbit.
