Jobs Star. Areturus.

Arcturus, star of ancient poets,
priests, astrologers and mystics,
Jobs star" as it has been called asst
is mentioned in the wonderful book Of
that first dramatist, is COCO times more
brilliant in its marvellous luminosity
than our own little central luminary,
which has pitiable diameter of less
than million miles. BY means of the
spectroscope Areturus Is seen travel
ING across our line of vision at the in
conceivable speed of probably 800 miles
per second! Yet even at this amazing
motion it would require 1900 years for
Arcturus to traverse the distance to US
from the star nearest to our sun, that
nearby star being the chief in the con-
stellation of the Centaur and just n
little matter of $4,000, 900, 100000 miles
distant from our sun! l. Pittsburgh

prettv Hiuh Hills.

A distinguished astronomer once
took the trouble to measure in several
paintings the size of the moon and to
deduce from it the height of the noun
tains shown in the same picture. He
found that the average height OF the
hills was about forty-three miles, while
one giant peak raised its head more
than a hundred miles above sea level.
Turner, who was one of the greatest
masters of landscape composition ana
coloring, frequently exaggerates the
height of his hills with the intention of
upon them majesty which
otherwise they would not possess.
