IMMENSITY OF THE HEAVENS
A Peep Into Spaco That Dazzle* tne
Imagination.
If our sun were removed to the
Pleiades it would hardly lie visible
in an opera glass, with which nearly
100 stars can he seen in the cluster.
Sixiy or seventy Pleiades surpass
our sun in brilliancy, Alcyone being
1.000 times more brilliant, Plectra
nearly 500 times and Maia nearly
400. “Sirius itself takes a subordi¬
nate rank when compared with the
live most brilliant members of a
group, the real magnificence of
which we cun thus in some degree
apprehend.” If we seek to know
the dimensions, not of the individual
stars, but of the cluster itself, we
a re met with many difficulties, but
on the assumption that it is approxi¬
mately spherical in shape we can
calculate its diameter to be over
40,000,000,000 miles, so that light
would take seven years to pass from
one extreme to the other. If w T e
think of the dimensions of our solar
system by themselves or in relation
to terrestrial matters they appear
stupendously enormous. distant known
Neptune, the most
member, has an orbit over 5,000,
000,000 miles across—a distance
that a ray of light would travel in
seven and a half hours—but the so¬
lar system is to the Pleiades but as
a Lilliputian to a Brobdingnagian—
is but as a microbe to a mountain,
far a sphere the size of the solar
system would, if it were spherical of
and its diameter that of the orbit
Neptune, be relatively so minute
that it could be contained more than
400,000,000,000 times in a sphere
the size of the Pleiades. In other
words, the limits of the Pleiades
,, ou j^ contain 150 solar systems as
many times over as there are miles
between Neptune and the stm.
It must not be foTgotten that, al
thotigb there are 2,300 stars dimensions in the
cluster, yet with such
for the entire group vast distances
must separate the stars from one an¬
other. In fact, 2,300 spheres, each
with a diameter of 3,000,000,000
miles, could be contained in the lim¬
its assigned to the group, and, ae
suming equal distribution of the
stars in the group, each would be at
the center of a sphere 3,000,000,000
miles across, and therefore a light
journey of 187 days from its near*
est neighbor.

STRANGE INCIDENTS.
Norwegians are muck concerned
over a strange incident of the fes¬
tivities which welcomed King Haa¬
kon to Christiania. A newspaper
tlius describes it: “At the very time
when the royal procession had to
pass the ancient fortress of Akerhue
there was assembled there a-great
number of spectators, mostly mili¬
tary, in order to see the new king
drive past While tlm spectator*
were waiting to see the king in great
excitement a jingling sound was
heard, and suddenly the crowned
statue of King Oscar fell to the
ground. At the same moment the
crown fell off and was crushed in,
the fall. For a moment every oft*
present felt a little uncomfortable
on witnessing the incident, but it
was immediately forgotten in watch¬
the royal procession. A few
davs Inter some inemben* of the
same company were assembled. in
another part of the town in the
house of one of the leaders of the
government. The conversation turn¬
ed on the strange iucident of the
statue. Tn the midst of the con¬
versation a scraping sound was
heard, and the portrait of King Os
ear glided down from the wall and
fell to the ground.”
Her Luncheon Decorations.
At a luncheon given recently in s
city Borne miles from New York by
a woman of prominence the decora¬
tive scheme of the table arrange¬
ment consisted mainly of a large
centerpiece in the form of n basket
filled with the most realistic of arti¬
ficial blossoms, ribbon bowed to
match, aDd miniature baskets on
the same order in front of the dif¬
ferent places, with ribbons extend¬
ing to the central basket. When
the guests departed, without any
suggestion from the hostess, each
walked off with a little ribbon trim
med basket, supposing it was a sou¬
venir. It wasn’t, for the caterer
considered the collection of baskets
his decorative masterpiece and had
counted on utilizing them at lesser
affaire during the rest of the sea¬
son. The hoe tees footed a substan¬
tial addition to the estimated bill,
and at her next luncheon the deco¬
ration* will not be so ?3ES5
«o eaay to carry off.
