SCIENTIST SAYS
MILKY WAY IS
UNIVERSE 8 END
Professor lines Declares Great

DETECTS NOTHING BEYOND
Diameter Takes Sixteen Figures
to Express-Estimates the
Number of Stars.

WASHINGTON, oct. lS.-The
boundaries of the universe have been
discovered, according to report re-
ceived at the National Observatory
from Professor r. A. T. Innes, direc-
tor of the Union Observatory at Jo-
hannesburgy South Africa.
The universe. Professor Innes, as
serts, is contained within the space
girdled by the Milky Way, and he
figures that the most distant star in
that wonderful girdle is $40 light
years distant from the earth.
Distance in Light Years"
Inasmuch as the planetary system,
of which the earth is a member, is
commonly supposed by astronomers
to be close to the center Of the area
embraced within the Milky Way, and
inasmuch as light travels 10000
miles a second. or over five and three
quarters quadrillion miles a year, the
diameter of the universe, by Professor
lines calculation, is 6,33A951, $780,
100000 miles. This is the distance
light would travel in lose years a
ray of light takes 16 minutes and SO
seconds to traverse the diameter OF
the earth's orbit.
Is there anything outside the uni
verse? on this point Professor lines
does not venture positive opinion,
but he says that the most powerful
telescopes penetrate far into space,
beyond the boundaries of the universe
revealing nothing. In particular he
says, there is absolutely no sign Of
other universes Of similar consti-
tuted stellar systems.
Number Of Stars Limited.
The number of stars, according to
Professor Innes. is limited, falling far
short of the number of people on the
earth. He estimates the mass Of the
universe as equal to AL 600 Zines 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 441.00O suns
OF stars 100 times as massive as the
sun there are 300; of stars ten times
as massive as the sun there are 5,0Oo;
of stars equal in mass to the sun
there are 200, eco. and of stars small
er tnan the sun there are 16,O00.00o,
100000 OF which are one-terth the
mass OF the sun: 100000 are one
