Lena feels that she is better

things. 1t would never enter her

HERS. But they aren't.
There Is hardly a thing In all
that great house which either
Lena or her husband can claim
as theirs. They have exchanged
money for these things and they
are giving them house room but
they do not BELONG to the

1t was made from an ordinary

POPULAR STUDY
By Garrett P. Serviss

TUE movement Just set on foot
u by the American Museum Of
Natural History in New York for
the organiza ton of a popular astro-
nomical society. which may be ex.
tended by affilia ton to other CEN
ters all over the United States
ought to have an irresistible APP
peal for everybody.
The geaeral interest in astron-
omy is fast growing. 1t is the
noblest OF all the sciences. 1t ap-
peals to every faculty of the
mind-intelligent curiosity, won.
der, logic, imagination, aspiration,
piety, freedom of thought, all are
satisfied and uplifted. In trouble,
in loneliness. man turns to the
stars. They carry him away from
the little earth and It's limitations.
They lift him up on the wings Of
the imagination. They open the
eyes of his mind to ranges OF
thought that he would never have
dreamed of while tied down TO the
narrow things of the earth. They
show him, by inspired glances,
what infinity and eternity mean.
The whole nature Of man Is re-
freshed by immersion in the star
depths.
But wondering contemplation of
the stars is not enough. There
must be knowledge, too. The mod
ern astronomer might make an
Swer to that demand which over
whelmed the mind of Job:
"Knowest thou the ordinances of
heaven" by replying: "A little
begin to see. Give me more light
The light that the professional
astronomers have obtained by
labors which in these latter days
have been marvelously accelerated,
must be distributed to the amateur
astronomers. whose name is legion
for no one ever looks seriously
at the stars without becoming in
his soul an astronomer.
A principal function of the pro.
posed utilization of local astro.
nomical societies into an organiza-
ton Of national import would be
to bring the professionals and the
amateurs into closer contact, for
only thus can the full distribution
of astronomical knowledge be at
tained. Schools never have served
that purpose, and never will.
Local societies working separately
cannot compare in general useful
ness with q network of organfza.
tons bound by common interests
and continual intercommunicatio
The proposers Of the scheme point
out the great influence that SINH.

terest has had in other countries.

cal Society has Chapters in the
principal cities of the Dominion.
