are otherwise. The stars seem to thin
out considerably at 500 light-years. and
none are found more than 1900 light
years from the central plane, which
passes about 100 light-years south Of
tie sun.
We may therefore conceive of our
stellar system as a vast flattened layer
Of stars. with no sharp boundaries, but
some two or three thousand light
years thick, and fifteen thousand or
more in diameter, for in this direction
no investigation seems yet to have
reached its limit. Beyond lies empty
space, peopled perhaps by other sys-
TENS remote from our own. Indeed,
Hertzsprung estimates that the Small
er Magellanic Cloud, an isolated patch
OF stardust in the southern heavens,
is at a distance of thirty thousand
lightyears. Possibly other remote
galaXies may be visible to us among
the still mysterious spiral nebulae
The great star-cloud of which our sun
is an incOnspicuous member would be
visible,-if space is clear.-as con-
SpicuOuS nebula, to eyes like ours, a
million light-vears away. But there is
no one who dares say as yet that any1
thing visible in our heavens is SO far
away, or even ten times less remote.

Free Band Concerts at Glen Miller

Only the small of $4,000 stands be-
tween free band concerts at Glen Miller park
this season or the disruption of the concert band.
the traction company, the chautauqua organiza-
ton and the holding the refreshments con-
cession at the park have donated their share.
Public band concerts at Glen Miller park have
been enjoyed by thousands in past seasons. The
appearance Of the band always attracted large
and appreciative crowds The concerts afforded
pleasant place of amusement and recreation for
hundreds who otherwise would have been COM
PEELED to spend the Sunday afternoon at their
homes.
If band concerts are abandoned this year,
it means that hundreds of persons who cannot
afford to hear good music will be deprived of the
privilege Of hearing the best talent the city has.
These concerts also will enable the band to main
tain it's organization. It's members practice each
Monday in the year, and by being paid for their
appearance at these concerts the members receive
a little remuneration for their work.
The holding of band concerts merits support.
This is matter which the Commercial club ought
not let drop, but boost at once. A plan to raise
the necessary money ought be presented by the
club.

By HENRY MORRIS RUSSELL
Professor of Astronomy, Princeton
Unjversity

One of the most conspicuous move
ments at the moment among American
astronomers is a great increase in ac-
tivity in the mea surement of the dis
tanceS of the stars. Ten years ago,
only two observatories, with relative
~ modest equipment, were working at
this problem. Now it occupies two
thirds of the time of the great Yerkes
that of half the other large telescopes
in the country. The distances OF per
haps two hundred of the nearer stars
have already been measured with
more or less accuracy. At the present
rate, the number will be raised to
thousand within a decade.
What does the astronomer mean by
the nearer stars? The answer en-
phasizes, as nothing else can, the ap-
palling emptiness of the ocean of
space which surrounds us. If We
should attempt to make a map-Or
rather model-of the positions of
the nearer stars, on such scale that
the earth was one inch from the sun,
the sun would be represented by a
small grain Of sand, lilo of an inch
in diameter, while the earth would be
a hundred times smaller. and hardly
bigger than microbe. The stars too
would appear as grains Of sand, some
as small as the sun, some larger, and
few as big as good-sized shot; and
they would be scattered through utter
ly empty space, so sparsely that the
distance from any one to its nearest
neighbors would average about five
miles. To describe such vast distan-
ces we need a new unit of measure
ment, and convenient one is the dis
lance which light. advancing steadily
at the rate of 1S6, 900 miles every sec
ond, traverses in a. year. Such a
"light-year' is almost exactly repre-
scented by one mile on the scale Of our
model
Stars within thirty light-years of
the sun are now regarded as our very
near neighbors. Greater distances,
up to hundred light-years or SO.
can be measured with tolerable accu-
racy by direct observation. But the

The Moon and the Crops

1t has not been very long ago, and, in fact,
the notion still prevails among many farmers
that the moon affects the growth of crops and
that seeds ought not be planted unless the moon
were in certain position.
The Department of Agriculture in a recent
bulletin discusses this question. The conclu-
sion of the government scientists is that the
moon has no more influence crops than it has
upon temperature or the amount of rain or any
other weather element. They assert dogmatical-
ly that the growth of plants depend upon soil,
temperature, light and moisture.
That the moon cannot affect soil and the
composition of the atmosphere is readily seen,
leaving only the element of light to be consid-
cred. Experiments were made to see if the moon
could affect this, and the conclusion reached was
that it is waste of time to think about 1.-The

Measuring Depths of Space

majority even of the brighter stars
are certainly far beyond this limit. We
can estimate their average distance by
means Of their apparent drift across
the heavens, which arises from the &C
tual motion of our system in the oppo-
site direction, and it is found that al
most half of the stars visible to the
naked eye are more than 400 light
years, distant. while the majority of
the telescope stars of the tenth mag
nltude are over thousand light-years
from us, and some Of them are three
or four times as remote. There is clear
evidence that at these great distances
the stars are more thinly soWn in
space, being two or three times Is far
apart as in the region near the sun.
To sound the depths Of snace still
further, yet another method is being
employed. Certain stars which vary in
brightness, owing to eclipses by faint
er attendants, and others whose light
undergOeS regular variations of short
period. have been sufficiently studied
to make it possible to estimate fairly
we'll their real brightness, which in
some instances is hun ireds of times
that or the sun. BY comparing this
with their apparent brightness in the
sky, their distances may be derived
Studies by Hertzsprung of Potsdam
and by the writer agree in showing
that, in the plane of the Milky Way
the stars extend in all directions to a
distance of at least eight or ten thous
and light-years, unless indeed space
is imperfectly transparent, and the
faintness of these remote stars does
not arise from their distance alone
At right angles to this plane, toward
the regions of the sky which seems to
us to be much poorer in stars, things
