BEMLDERINa TO THE MIND
Everyday Measurements Of Science
/ N That Are Almost Beyond Com
prehenSlon Of tho Layman.

One great difficulty In the study Of
astronomy Is to comprehend the Inn
mensity of the distances and sizes in
voIved. For instance, we can form no
conception Of the size or distance Of
the sun.
Suppose there was a spherical shell
Of the diameter Of the sun. Suppose
great genie should drop into this
shell, every second, night and day, a
ball the size Of the earth. How long
would 1t take to fill the she'll? Would
1t take an hour, day, or week? In
fact, 1t would take two weeks, and
when full the shell would contain more
than 100000 earths. :
Tie distance to the sun Is $4,000, 900
niles. How long would 1t take cam
non ball to reach the sun, II shot from
the earth. and continued on Its course
at a uniform velocity? In order not
to underestimate the distance some
might say q year. In fact 1t would
than 100000 earths.
Automatically, speaking. the above
distance Is very short. The sun is our
nearest star. Strain the imagination
BY trying to comprehend the velocity
OF light which would pass seven times
around the earth in one second Of
time. Now stagger the brain by trying
to think Of stars, SO remote from us
that million years are required for
their light to cross the enormous abyss
that separates them from us. Think
Of it! When that ray Of light. which
now enters the eye, started on It's
course. perhaps there was no life on
this earth.-JOhn Candee Dean in the
