second twenty or thirty years ago.
This is the statement of an exceedingly
wonderful fact but I suspect that there
are thousands of educated" persons who
will have only a very misty notion as to
what IT all means. Probably not one
man in a hundred Of those you meet
every day could tell you what Second

stars Yet II is n part of the A c OF
tho most magnificent OF all sciences and
the basis Of all our knowledge concerning
the dimensions Of this great universe, on
one Of the least of whose dust-motes we
live ana brag.
A second OF arc Is measure Of space;
IT has nothing to do with ume. 1t is,
like a degree a certain part OF the cir
conference of circle.
In other words. It Ia an arc, or section,
Of the circumference Of a circle. Most
people. surely have at least a dim idea
as - what degree is. They have heard
that the diameter or breadth OF
the sun or the moon. as we sec them
IN the sky, Is about half degree. Now
n second OF arc is one thirty-slx-hun-
dredth Of degree. Sixty seconds Of arc
make a minute OF arc. sixty minutes Of
I arc make a degree. and $50 degrees make
circle, so that a second OF arc is only
! the e-million-two- hundred and ninety
six-thousandth part OF the circumference
OF a circle-any circle.
Whenever We want To measure the dis
lance Of any visible object that is be-
yond our reach VIC have to empIoy these
subdivisions Of the circle We begin by
suppos!ng the object or objects, TO be
situated on tho circumference OF a circle
the center Of which Is occupied by the
I observers eye.
/ II an object Is about Dol, PCS times It's own
diameter away II covers an arc OF one
second. II II Is about g. 43S times its own
diameter away It covers an arc Of one
minute. II II is about 57.3 It's own

gagged on either side of the question
treated the Irish home rule problem
and the impending troubles in Ulster
with such degree of editorial cireum-
spcction as to leave their readers. as Il
rule, practically in the dark as to
what the row is all about. This deli
cacy is natural enough in view of the
fact that there is no more bitter parti~
sanship anywhere than that of the Irish
Catholics and Irish Orangemen; and,
the problem being none of our affair
as people, the easiest and smoothcst
way OF avoiding the stirring up of re

matters OF more immediate American
interest aud allow their public to form
such opinions of the Irish situation AZ

dispatches cablcd by the news agencies
from day to day.

For centuries the dream OF the Irish
people as Il whole has been indcpend-
cncc OF British rule and if absolute iu-
dependence could not be achieved then
80 great a measure OF home rule as
might be obtained. The measure has
varied from time TO time but since the
year 1901. when the Irish parliament
voted the . final union" with. Great
Britain it has been small. Since 1873,
when the Home Rule party was form
ed, Irish craftsmanship has concerned
itself consistently with a definite pol
icy of obtaining a new Irish parlia-
ment and large Irish control OF Irish
internal affairs, asserting the inalicn-
able right of the Irish people to govern
themselves.

sistentlv sought freedom from the con
