ity singing, short addresses by Past

Celestial History.

The history which astronomers see
through their powerful glasses seems
calculated to impress their contempo-
raries among laymen with the insignin-
canoe Of life on the floating speck Of dust
which is called the earth. Just now the
sky gazers at Mount Wilson Observa-
tory are studying "star suicide" which
occurred seven million years ago. The
event, they say, is zone of the most
colossal catastrophes of matter" the uni
verse ever has experienced, and it is
suggested that 1t constitutes "preview"
of what the end of the world may be
millenniums hence.
Curiously, too, the cosmic tragedy now
under observation was anticipated. In
January, 1885, Prof. Fritz zwicky. astro-
physicist of the California Institute of
Technology, warned his colleagues to
watch for "supernova" in the constel-
lation Of Virgo. Within twenty -four
months. he predicted. there would be
Evening star., 1936-03-18

q disturbance in that cluster Of heavenly
bodies. And his prophecy was correct.
The Mount Wilson scientists are photo
graphing the spectacle through the
worlds largest telescope. On the plates
they find the conflagration exploding at
the rate Of four thousand miles per
second, with a temperature of approx
mately three hundred thousand degrees
centigrade. The blaze is about as bril-
liant as twenty million suns. But 1t is
too late to send fire engines. The cata-
clysm is over. It happened when the
earth was young and the light was so
distant that all Of seven million years
has been required for it to reach an
audience competent to appreciate it.
But the miracle is that the "star sui
eide" should be seen at all. To the
philosopher. in any case, 1t is far more
marvellous that the human race has
been able to develop technique for
such study than that the subject should
have existed. A planet disintegrating
is q story, of course. But people with
genius to look out over myriads Of years
of time and of miles of space represent
a still more attractive theme. The tor
tured and dying "supernova" could do
nothing to avoid its fate; and the earth
in some final disastrous hour may be
equally powerless. Yet, meanwhile, there
are mundane conditions which must be
amenable to correction at the hands Of
a species capable of exploring the inf
mite. And the circumstance is encourag-
ing to any soul that unhappily may be
tempted to doubt.
