Uratius will !»• over nineteen inch*-, off, Neptune will tie almost thirty inches off Then the solar system as a whole, leaving «mly out of the question certain comets which travel farther, will l>e Inclosed tn a cir cle less than two yards In diameter. Tlie question arise, next. What will I lie the proport innate six- of the stellar I system on this same scale of measuremeat? If the solar system is to be comprised with a hoop not two yards across, how wide a spare should we allow to the surrounding system of stars, "our universe?” How near will be the nearest ot outlying stars? And the answer Is sufleientty startling if the sun Is reckoned to be one Inch i awsy from our earth. If Neptune Is | reckoned to lie less than three feet i away from the mtn, thru, on tiro same scale, the star which lies Closest of Sil outer stars in the whole universe to us. Alpha Centauri by name, must be reckoned na lying at a distance of about three and a bn If mile. Awl be ■ tween the two nothing, at least noth i Ing in tlie shape of a star. An «wc*sioti.il comet may lag slowly along In the darkness, finding Its way from one sun system to another, and dark bodies, cooled suns, may peasibly ttottt here or there onaam by os. but of stars, radiant with beat and light, none la found la that wide area Astronomical writers aptuetlmeo talk

or stars "in fbe vicinity” of the sun, and this is what la meant by "vicinity.” Think of the distances Implied. Our whole solar system is first brought down Into a sinnll circle, two yards across—every inch in those yards standing for more than tspisst.i.ssi miles- anti then on every side and above and tielow Is an encompassing void of three and a half miles, every Inch of those miles again representing more than bU.OtJO.OUO mile*. And then <e come upon one gleaming star. Only one quite so nenr. Another star In the sun's "vicinity,” known as 31 Cygni, would He at a distance of seven nHIC-s, and the brilliant Sirius would be over XU miles off. Others must be placed at distance* of 20 miles, 50 miles, l‘>o mile*. It is easy to start with a l‘st of these figures. It Is not easy to say ,u *d atop. That the star ry system mis limit* we do not doubt, but to define those limit* is not possible. On such a scale as is given above th-«♦ I . • ••' : .<! .

Alpha Centauri. and this at once gives, even on our much reduced scale, a line from tiro,center ot 33.000 miles.
