Many Suns to Give Light.

“During the day we say that the sun shines; during the night we should say that the suns shine," writes a Boston correspondent of the New York Times. “During the day one sun reigns over us; during the night many Buns sparkle' and scintillate upon us. The only difference is that Our sun of day is so much nearer than our suns of night; but there is one sun of night that, during our winter, far outshines the other sparkling sky gems. That son is Sirius, whose distance has been estimated at 50 blllionl of miles, whose size has been conjectured to be as vast as that of seven thousand suns like our own.”
