Society of Canada Told.

TORONTO, Ontario, May 22.-Hcw
science has discovered the vast size of
the watch-shaped system of stars called
the milky way was described last night
by J. S. Plaskett, F. r. S., director Of
the Dominion Astrophysical Obscrva-
tory at Victoria British Columbia.
The diameter of the milky way is
now estimated at $4,000 light years. he
told an audience of scientists and lit
erary men at the fiftieth annual meet
ing of the Royal Society of Canada.
THE light year" he explained. "is
the astronomers yardstick, the distance
light moving at 10000 miles per sec
ond would travel in year, or six mil
lion million miles" This would CORE
Spond to a train journey at 60 miles
an hour for 100000 years. The
traveller bold enough to venture across
the universe would require 100000
100000 years to span the milky way.
No Need of Traffic Rules.
Stars on the edge of this system Go
not need traffic regulations, he said rs
many are 100000 miles apart and
gap of 100000 separated the sun from
the nearest star.
The sun is not at the center of this
gigantic system. said DR.. Plas,zett but
only the center CT an insignificant star
cloud, known as 1.-THE local cluster"
1t was difficult TO prove that the
whole galactic system is in motion. he
said, for If it turned as whole there
would be nothing to compare it with
and no movement could be detected.
But it has been discovered by the
observatory at Victoria that the most
distant stars move more slowly than
those near the center of the system,
Just as the outer planets of the solar
system move more slowly than the
inner planets. THE motions of these
stars" he asserted, "agree so exactly
with those that would be given by
rotation of the galaxy that there can
be no reasonable doubt of its presence"

in my present guise. I am Trickery. I live by
making big promises for whatever I happen to
be selling Oftentmes even look and sound
sincere-sometimes I have to, to make people
believe the wild claims and superlatives I use for
my product | flourish during economy waves;
it is then that folks fall most easily for my some
thing for nothing bait. Born Of the Weakness
of Human Nature and fathered by Deception, I
boast long line of antecedents dating back from
the takers Of long ago and down through charla-
tans of all periods
Sometimes am in the guise of a salesman, some
times I manufacturer, sometimes store, some
times advertisement My racket is to make you think
I genius; trick you into believing have some
thing better for the same money something just
good for less money. Smile if you wish, but have
fooled every one of you at some time or other And
when fool you, feol you where it hurts most right
in your pocketbook.
"You may not recognize me if you see me tomorrow
| never stay in the place very long or make the
same appearance but I'm sure we'll meet again Well
meet as long as there are enough you still around who
believe that perform greater miracles for your
money than the who sells honest product hon
esty presented and honestly priced"
Where are the miracle stores which promised you
so much? Recall to yourself how many are gone and
then consider how the merchandise they sold YOU is
standing up.
Out of Indianapolis 900 population, few people
will be fooled all of the time and number of people will
be fooled some Of the time but not by store that wants
