and at the Mount Wilson Observatory
Of the Carnegie Institution of Washing
ton show that there Is fairly uniform
distribution of external galaxies through
out space, except in q few directions
where their apparent scarcity is believed
due to the fact that their light must pass
through thick clouds Of coSmic dust to
reach the earth. Consequently the
fainter ones are blotted out entirely.
But the long exposure photographs
of this region of the sky showed that
the galaxieS were maSSed with more than
region by far the most crowded in space.
There were also a number of even
thicker clusters, now believed to belong
to the same vast cloud" The Harvard
plates now record about 1900 galaxies.
DR.. Shapley believes. however. that this
large irregular system of galaxieS which
appears to be centered in Horologium
will be found upon the completion of the
eighteenth magnitude survey to extend
through several Of the surrounding con-
stellations." This leads to the estimate
Of more than 10000 galaxies in all.
In his report to the National Academy
of Sciences DR.. Shapley refers to the
metagalactic cloud as system" What
sort of dynamic relationships exist be-
tween the thousands of galaxies COM
posing the aggregation is unknown and
their existence can only be surmiSed
from the density Of their distribution.
The individual objects making up the
cloud cannot be visualized as packed
closely together. They only appear so
because of their immense distance. Each
Of the 10000 or more galaxies probably
Is made up of thousands-perhaps billions
of stars separated by distances of light
years, like the familiar visible stars of
the Milky Way system Of which the sun
Is fair average In size And the galaXieS
themselves, 1t Is probable, are separated
by distances Of thousands Of light years
or at least by distances comparable to
those which separate the Milky Way
galaxy from the outlying Clouds of
Magellan In the Southern Hemisphere.
The galaxies composing the cloud, DR..
Shapley believes, follow an approxi-
mately normal distribution curve in size
and brightness. Because of the immense
distance many entire smaller galaxieS
are far too faint ever to be recorded.
Hence, says DR.. Shapley, lin both the
metagalactic cloud and it's involved clus-
ters of galaxies q large part Of the popu-
lation is undoubtedly below the faintest
limits of the plates"
The Harvard astronomers, DR.. Shap-
ley reports, now are pushing ahead with
the work of photographing the entire
sky, and making a detailed study of
individual nebulae in few typical areas
In order to gain fair idea of the fire.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES Z. TRACEWELL.

usually is betterment when daylight
comes. The light has its ancient power
Of chasing away the dark. The gloom
of the mind, induced by pain and suf-
fering, is q very real thing, let dispute it
who will. If they can, they are fortu-
nate. The rest of us mus be content
with trying our best to bear up under
pain. A real help is belief in the powers
OF the dawn.
Stick it out until the light comes, and
then things will be better.
This Is the helpful idea which comes
to most of us, even in darkest moments.
And let us make as plain as we can
that dark moments are dark moments.
One will suffer more from some simple
Ill than another and tougher person from
far greater ills. No one can judge here
for another. There is little doubt that
many humans have sensitive nerves and
flesh far beyond the comprehension Of
those who are not so cursed-or should
it be blessed, after alp At any rate, it
is hazardous for any human being to say,
why, you are not ill-you do not know
what pain is.'
Let every one be forbearing, therefore,
In regard to another's Ills.
He may be hero far beyond your
comprehension.
The man who finds something comical
in the pains and aches of his neighbor
Is q strange creature. Usually he is the
first to demand sympathy for his own
ills. the last to give it to others.
If there Is such thing as poetic JUS
tice, he is in dangerous position.
Fortunately. most of us, in this strange
Journey we take through life, are ready
to give the other fellow full credit for his
sufferings.
This ready sympathy is at once trib-
ute to Christianity and to civilization,
and to human nature itself, in the last
remove.
1t is ennobling to give and to receive
sympathy, and 1t is one of the most
ennobling things about man.
E**
There Is many an unsung hero and
heroine going calmly about the usual
tasks in the great roaring marts Of
business.
Often they are martyrs to terrible and
incurable diseases.
Sometimes they are at lesser stages of
heroism, but heroiSm none the less.
They do not whine about their con-
dition. but bravely do the best they can.
If their malady is only at certain stages
they are able to put up good bluff
and give the world the work Of much bet
ter men physically.
How easy it would be- on certain morn
ingS, to remain at home! Every one,
no matter how healthy. has experienced
these mornings. 1t is here where over
coming comes in, the good overcoming of
which we have heard so much. Our only
point here is that it is seen in operation
much more often than many persons
are likely to credit it, for 1t blows no
trumpets, and Is not given to boast
fulneSS.
1t Is interesting. when riding in a pub
lie vehicle, or walking along crowded
downtown street. to look at others with
these ideas in mind and to attempt to
discover who they are who ride or walk
there In sickness.
A new respect for humanity will come.
and much more readiness To forgive
and forget all the things in others which
we do not like.
It may be that, after all. we meet
heroes and heroines every day, face to
face, and know them not.
They will not have the Hollywood
smile, Of course. Perhaps by its very
| lack we shall know them.

Discovery OF the most gigantic group
Of objects in known space has just been
announced through the National Acad-
emy Of Sciences here by DR.. Harlow
Shapley, professor Of astronomy at Har-
ward University.
It Is described as "metagalactic
light years from the center Of the Milky
way star system in the direction Of the
southern constellation Of Horologium.
1t consists, DR.. shapley believes, Of
more than 10000 individual galaxies.
each galaxy probably containing billions
of stars. They are distributed with q
density Of about one galaxy per $780,
600 900 900 900 cubic light years.
They constitute, DR.. shapley's evidence
indicates, o single large, loosely aggre-
gated system. Within this metagalactic
cloud, he fnds, are several clusters Of
galaxies which are much denser than the
cloud rs q whole.
Considered as even . very loosely
aggregated dynamic system, the meta
galactic cloud dwarfs anything hitherto
known in creation. The Milky Way
galaxy with its approximate so billions
of stars-of which the solar system is q
part-and the or 10 other galaxies
near enough to it in space to be con.
sidered part of the same complex amount
to very little in relation to 1t.
The discovery came In the course Of
o general survey of faint galaxies, based
on long-exposure photographs, which
has been in progress for some years past
both at the Harvard Observatory in the
United States for Northern latitudes and
the observatory in South Africa for
Southern lstitudes. Up to date this sur
vey, now practically one third completed,
has revealed approximately 10000 new
galaxies, for the most part generally dis
persed through space.
Galaxies were photographed down to
approximately the nineteenth magnitude,
the faintest objects to leave much i'm
preston on Photographic plate after
long exposure. The average magnitude
Of the metagalactic cloud was about the
seventeenth, due to the extreme dis
tance. To the naked eye, even through
very powerful telescope, very little
. would be revealed. Only by prolonged
exposure was the faint light, moving
through the unimaginable immenSities
OF empty space, able to make an impress
sion on the sensitive plates. This light
started on its way before the great dino
saurs were extinct on earth and when
mammal life was just beginning.
The metagalactic cloud was registered
on IL long-expoSed plates at the South
African observatory. 1t lay In a region
of space free from obscuration by out
lying streamers of the Milky Way, in
the general direction Of the southern
star consultations Of Dorado, Horologium
and Reticulum, but centering around the
second of these. This was region OF
space of which there has been little
extensive Photographic observation in the
past. Only 1874 objects have been known,
all but IS of these found some years
ago on early Harvard Observatory plates
This was less than per cent Of the
actual number now shown. There are
q few bright spiral nebulae-the Milky
Way system is believed by some to be q
spiral nebulae-but In none Of them
because of the enormous distance, has
1t been possible TO detect any individual
stars.
