That Biggest Trip OF Ours.

Every school boy knows that in the
space of 365 days, a year, this jolly
old earth of ours-jolly n~otwithstand-
ing the efforts of trouble distillers to
make ii a hell-trayels clear around
the sun, keeping the good safe dis
tahce of ninety-three million miles
from him. We all learned that at
school and bother no more about it
all II lives.
But just now the scientific fellows
are worrying their heads over another
question. While we travel all around
him, the sun is at the same time shoot
ing off in a straight line towards some
point in space, leaving behind him a
track four hundred million miles long
and dragging the earth and other
planets he governs, after him. The
fact is, Of course, not new, but what
the scientists are now worrying about
is
"Where is the sun going? WHERE
will that four hundred million miles
a year journey finally land him-and
u.s."
We should worry because they all
agree hat with all his speed, he can't
reach Vega, the nearest universe sys-
TEN in his path, in less than two mill
ion years!
But, dye mind, the great sun Vega,
which could swallow our sun and not
notice it at all, is also travelling a bit
himself. He is bound somewhere, too,
and is in a great hurry about it, so
that when Il sun and earth reach
the heavenly spot of his 1921 location,
he may have gone clear beyond our
sight, even with telescopes. Nothing
sociable about old Vega.
Well, we're willing for the scientists
to worry about such things. But they
are interesting to hear about once in
a while.
