The more that is learned about the
giant suns Of space the more wondsr.ul
they appear The biggest Ito our eye5)
Of these great super-surs is the Dog sta-,
Sirius. 1t equals probably thirty or forty
suns like the one that makes our day.
light
the speed Of light gives a ready means
Of comparing the distances Of the, sun
and OF Sirius, and upon the difference
between those distances depends the
fact that although Sirius is in reality
so much greater than the sun, 1t LOOKS
relatively insignificant.
Light takes about eight and half
minutes TO come to us from the sun. hut
It takes about eght and a half years
TO come from Sirius
As a minute Is to a year, SO is the dis
tance of the sun to that of Sirius.
In other words the great Dog star is
about S2s.OocO times as far away as Is
the sun.
But the brightness of any shining OBJ
ject diminishes in proportion to the
square of the increase of its distance.
Accordingly, If Sirius we're actually lust
as bright as the sun (when viewed from
the same dstance) It ought to appear
52e O0Ox526.O0O or 276.676 OOo, 600 times fainter
than the sun to our eyes. But measure
ment Of it's light shows that it appears
only about 1000, 100000 times fainter than
the sun. from which Immediately follows
the conclusion that its actual bright
ness must exceed the suns about forty
times.
Now starting with this fact, let US i'm
agine that we could swiftly approach
Sirius or that the earth could quit the
sun and fly away with US to become
satellite of the Dog Star. The expert
ences that we should have during such
journey would surpass the boldest flights
OF the Imagination.
When we had gone exactly half way
from the sun to Sirius, on looking back
we would perceive that the sun has di-
minished TO a second magnitude star.
We would no longer have any daylight,
but only starlight. Sirius itself would
still he only a star, but a star Of ex-
traordinary brilliance, forty times as
bright as il now appears TO US.
AS we continued on our way. the sun
would become fainter and Sirius would
constantly grow brighter, until az last
we would begin TO receive a new lay
light upon our far-journeying earth. and
this new daylight would be Sirian sun
shine, which would possess q quality OF
intrinsic brilliance excelling that to which

Science
BY EDGAR LUcIEN LARKIN.

o.-"Can you tell why the circle Is a.
vided into $50 degrees? Is this arbitrary
or made by rule?"
A.-When history began the Babyloni-
ans were using this division. Very early
observers, without telescopes. seStants,
armillary spheres or any instrument OF
seometric precision, thought that the
earth turns on its axis $50 times while
moving around the sun once.
They could not possibly have dis
covered the modern fact that the earth
turns around 800. S5s4Ss times when maxi
ing one exact revolution around the sun.
Question-What is your opinion OF the
transmutation OF matter as promulgated
by Sir William Ramsey?
In the ultimate. what distinction can
be drawn between organic and inorganic
matter, since mind is matter or force 4?
Therefore, is It not but matter or force
under a different aspect or relation TO
surrounding appearances. or. in other
words. are not all things a unit?
Answer-dl The only transmutation
made by Ramsay that Is absolutely proved
10 that OF radium into helium Ruther-
ford filled an alright high vacuum glass
tube with helum by merely leaving il
near radium during several days. I
heard him tell how nc performed every
detail Of this now classic experiment.
In nature, uranium initiates into radium
that is where uranium exist radiuni
Is always found IN the mineral, and where
no uranium exists no radlum has ever
been discovered. This mutation is wrought
by nature with an exceedingly slow rate.
and vast periods OF time are required for
uranium to disintegrate and appear as
radium and then as hel!um
Answer-t9 The ultimae distinction
between inorganic and organic matter Is
the inscrutable mystery-life Nothing is
known OF the actual nature OF life; none
knows what IL IL And the same Is true
of mind. Yes; all things are a unit

We had been accustomed when near our
native sun.
When the earth had approached as close
to Sirius as it really is to the sun, its
new solar master would appear with in
efiaole splendor, binding, dazzling, over
whelming, scorching ana burning like a
blast from an opened furnace door.
Then the brightness Of Sirius would not
be merely forty times as great as that
