over 1000 acres of camphor trees
which last year yielded over 10000
pounds of crude camphon This year
It is expected the yield will be many

Infinite and Finite

Some Of the measurements OF the

appalling AS long as we simply
regard space as an emptiness ex-

direction 1t fails 20 take a real hold

an abstraction which escapes the

seems childish.
Now, listen. At the Lick OBJ
servatory they have been working
on the parallax and the physical di-
mansions of "M3." Parallax is the
astronomical key TO distance. What
il unlocks In the case Of that ex-
quisite little cluster of telescope
star gems is the startling fact that
the distance yawning between us
and them is not less than three
thousand million times as great as
the distance from the earth to the
sun!

When the light of the sun first ap-
peared, Of course, it took eight min
utes for its leading wave to reach
the earth, SO that then there was an
interval Of eight minutes, between
the actual appearance, or creation,
Of the shining sun and the arrival at

But the connection once estab-
lished by the unceasing series or, if
you please. chain Of light waves eX-

the sun to the earth, there could be

Nevertheless. Il remains true that
each individual light-waVe requires

about one five-hundred-millio mil

the successive impressions which
they make on the nerves Of sight!
II these wave impressions We're

preciable to us, then both the sun
and the stars would seem to shine

invisibility following one another. II
the life OK a sentient creature were
comprised in less than the time in
terval above mentioned, and If It fell
between two Of these waves IL would
never know there was such thing
as the sun. Or If our nerves were
so excessively sensitive as TO take
note OF such infnitesimal intervals
we should find ourselves living In
world where everything would seem
aquiver in the ceaselesS play or al
ternate light and darkness.
CuriOusly enough there are in Ms
$50 variable stars whose periods are
each about half a day. These light
changes do arrive at our eyes at
definite intervals so that the stars
seem slowly 70 wink at Us and COM

that there are about $50 millions, OF

Now. since the last-named dis
lance is 100000 miles, we have
only TO multiply it by 100000. 600
in order to have the distance Of
those tiny-seeming stars, and we
have made the multiplication we get
Cor the result this stupendous num-
Der, 279, 5000, 900. 100000 (27s

No wonder those suns appear so
minute and so crowded together.
Our sun removed to that distance
would not be visible with the most
powerful telescope in existence. Yet
quite an ordinary telescope shows
the individual stars in the cluster
so that they must far exceed the sun
i'm actual splendor, Notwithstanding
their enormous distance has reduced
them to apparent infnitesimals.
And next the investigation of the
distance throws light upon the real
size Of the little cluster taken as a
whole. Its cross diameter comes out
at about 100000, 900, 100000 (2,60O
triIions) of miles, which is a hun
dred times the distance Of Alpha

It would take light about 45O
years to dart from one side Of the
cluster 10 the other, and more than
$4,000 years TO come from those
stars TO us. Yet light could go
round the earth nearly eight times
in a second, and comes from the sun
TO the earth in a little over eight
minutes.

misrepresentation in peoples minds
concerning the meaning Of such
statements as that made above
about the time taken for light to
cross the abyss Of space. For in

Five Mexican Soldiers
Killed by u. S. Troops

FORT HANCOCK, Tex, April 10
fundamentally patrols and Mexican
Federal troops face each other tonight
across the Rio Grandc at the San Juan
mine ford, eight miles southeast of
here. Across the river from Fort Han
cock Federal troops at nightfall were
digging themselves in" and the two
forces lay so close to one another to-
night that the challenges of Mexican
sentries could be heard plainly on the
American side of the river.
Reports reaching Colonel George T.
Langhorne, commander of American
troops in the Big Bend district, tonight
told of the death of five Mexican SOL
diers at the hands of American troops
during the day. Three Mexican Fed
eral cavalrymen were killed near here
when an American machine gun de-
tachment opened fire on the Mexicans
after more than one hundred shots had
been fired at the Americans from the
south bank of the river.
