Since this is the fact. you may won
der why we do not all notice the mo-
ton of the stars. You might naturally
think that those which are going cross
wise would rapidly shift their places
in the sky; that those which are ap-
preaching would visibly become bright
err and those which are retreating
fainter.
The reason we do not notice such
changes is twofold. 1t depends, first
upon the fact that all the stars are so
immensely distant that the effect pro-
duced upon their apparent places in
the sky by motion of several hun
dred thousand miles per hour is i'm
perceptible. even at the end of year,
except to the most accurate astrono-
miCal instruments. Secondly, it de-
ponds upon the extreme brevity of our
observations. Just as a million miles
are nothing in comparison with space
trillions of miles across. so a century
is nothing in comparison with lapses
OF time millions of years in length.

ern Hemisphere that is approaching
the Solar System at the terrific speed
Of $50 miles per second, or $1,000
miles per hour. There Is another that
is flying away at the rate of 1913 miles
per second, or 800 miles per hour
The first of these stars would ira
verse the space between the earth
and the moon in about IS minutes.
These statements seem prepOsterOus.
Yet they are undoubtedly true and &C
curate They are based upon observa-
tions with the spectroscope, which
shows the motion of a star by the
/ shifting one way or the other of the
lines in the spectrum of its light.
If the star is approaching the lines
shift toward the blue end of the spec
trum. If it is retreating they shift to-
ward the red end. and the amount Of
the shifting betrays the speed of the
stars motion.
When once the observation of the
shifting lines has been carefully made
the calculation OF the speed is as sim
pie as the rule Of three. The poceed-
ings of the astronomer are no more
mysterious than those of the survey
